“Mommy! Mommy, save me!”“Daddy, please help me! It hurts everywhere! I’m going to die!”“Uncle, I think my leg is broken. I can’t stand up! Am I going to be disabled for the rest of my life?”A crowd of well-dressed, middle-aged adults rushed up to the youngsters and started crying aloud.Just then, an Audi with a military plate drove into the football field. Two more big military trucks followed suit. There was a cloud of dust when the three cars came to a halt.An agile, middle-aged man hurried down the car and headed toward Hank.As soon as all the parents were done listening to the tall tales from their sons and daughters, they all turned around to glare angrily at Isaac.“Are you fucking out of your mind? How could you do such things to torture young children? Which unit are you from?”“Yeah, tell us your unit if you dare! I’m going to make you pay for making my kid cry!”The parents were boiling with rage. However, they dared not do anything because they were aware of the men su
Isaac looked at the boy standing next to Seth. The boy was looking at him with a condescending smirk.“Bring that boy here,” Isaac said, pointing at him. Beefy Bob went over at once.Seth’s face immediately turned sour. He hid his son behind him and roared, “What are you trying to do? If you dare to lay a finger on him, I’ll kill you!”Beefy Bob simply pushed Seth away, making him stumble a few steps backward and nearly fall over. Then, he grabbed hold of the boy and brought him before Isaac.Smack!Isaac landed a hard slap on the boy’s cheek, leaving his handprint there. Then, Isaac looked at Seth and said coldly, “So now that I’d slapped your son, what will you do about it? You can look for me any time, you know? My name is Isaac Garten, so get that straight. If you still can’t find me, then call up Connor Hart. He knows where to find me,” Isaac said slowly to Seth.Seth was so mad that he started shaking. However, he knew that Isaac wasn’t someone he should mess around with.After a
Not long after hanging up, a black car drove hurriedly into Cloud Nine Villas.Louis had just come out of the car. He asked his secretary to wait in the car as he hurried into the villa.He saw Isaac sitting on a chair and smoking a cigarette. He walked up to him and dipped his head slightly, saying, “Mr. Garten, I’m sorry. About Reddar Corporation…I had no idea that their opposition would be so strong. They even got someone from Pecling to back them up.”“Someone from Pecling?” Isaac asked, narrowing his eyes.Louis’s forehead started sweating. He nodded and said, “I’m always behind you, Mr. Garten. The new tender bidding will only involve Garth Properties and Reddar Corporation. A professional tendering team from the capital will be here to assist. If you lose, then I’ll lose my job as well,” Louis said, taking a deep breath afterward.Isaac looked at Louis in mild surprise and chuckled. He got up and patted Louis on the shoulder. “It’s been hard for you. Don’t worry. Nothing will go
She found herself thinking about Isaac. She felt a burden in her heart and refused to accept the roses.Also, there were just too many people watching them!Tristan chuckled and handed the rose bouquet to the man behind him instead. Then, he gestured toward the pavilion in The Lily Pad.Seeing that Allegra was still hesitating, Tristan chuckled again and said, “My lady, I have a few things I want to discuss with you in regard to Pegasus No. 1. Would you like to hear me out?”Allegra gritted her teeth. Then, under the jealous and watchful eyes of the rest of the crowd, she followed Tristan into The Lily Pad.The marble table in the pavilion was filled with mouth-watering dishes. Everything felt so familiar to Allegra. It was the same place and view but shared with a different person this time.For some reason, Allegra felt somewhat guilty. It felt like she was doing something wrong.“My lady, I’ve been thinking. I think that you and your company are not all that bad. If we work together
Allegra had no idea that Isaac had arrived. She also had no idea that the prim and proper Tristan Martin would actually list out such ridiculous conditions on his end. She just couldn’t comprehend it.“Mr. Martin, thank you for your dinner invitation tonight, but I have something else to attend to. Please excuse me,” she said, getting up to leave.Just then, the man in the black suit outside rushed into the pavilion and grabbed Allegra by the shoulders. He then forced Allegra to sit down.“Tristan Martin! What are you trying to do? I know you’re rich and powerful, but that doesn’t mean you can go throwing your weight around like this! I’ll never agree to your conditions!” Allegra was starting to panic.“Throw my weight around? Allegra, oh, Allegra. You’re just a lowly janitor anyway, and you’re also a widow. Filthy people like you are right at the bottom of the food chain. What right do you have to call me names?” Tristan’s mouth twisted in a sneer, and he had a condescending look on h
The man in the Victorian suit stepped forward, his gaze cold as he looked at Isaac. “Hendrix Kingston of the Order of Sol. My pleasure.”Immediately after that, a burst of spiritual energy emerged from Hendrix. Something flashed across Beefy Bob’s eyes as he rubbed his wrist discreetly.On the second floor, Evie frowned when she heard Hendrix’s name.She hadn’t expected Reddar Corporation to be working with the Order of Sol. No wonder they were so arrogant lately.“If you don’t fight, then I’ll gladly spend the night with pretty Allegra here.” Tristan laughed. He turned to Allegra and asked, “Right, Allegra?”“Isaac,” Allegra said, trembling with anger. “If you think you can win, go ahead. Beat him up.”“Come on, then.” Isaac laughed and went over to the empty area nearby.Hendrix stood about ten feet away from Isaac. He took a deep breath, and a cold look came over his expression. “You’re my first opponent in Cloud City, boy. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you, but I’ll guarantee you’ll ne
The four bodyguards standing behind Tristan instinctively fought back when they saw Isaac charging toward them.Even if they couldn’t defeat him, their creed was to protect Tristan.Four screams of pain later, the bodyguards collapsed onto the ground.“Isaac, I’m warning you. I haven’t even gotten you back for the slap you gave me last time. If you…”Coldly, Isaac slapped Tristan.The pain made Tristan spin around, almost falling to the floor. His ears rang from the force.Allegra’s heart skipped a beat upon seeing this. She regretted saying what she had said earlier. After all, he was the Reddar Corporation’s young director. However, when she remembered the vulgar words he had said to her, she became angry again.“So what if I slap you again?” Isaac said coldly.Several people in the restaurant had leaped to their feet.“Oh, my God, is that Mr. Martin from Reddar Corporation? I’ve seen him in the newspaper. It’s him!”“The heir of the Martin family is getting beaten up? This is big ne
A figure clad in white leaped down from the second floor. Evie stood in front of Isaac in a white dress with her face covered with a veil and stared at him intently.When their eyes met, it was as if the world had fallen silent.Isaac frowned for a moment, then laughed. “You’re finally brave enough to stand up to me.”“Let Tristan go. If it’s worth anything, do it for my sake, then leave at once, too,” Evie said anxiously.In the silence, Isaac realized that everyone in the restaurant had left. He frowned. “Are you in trouble?”“Don’t ask, please. I’ll meet you someday after tonight.” Evie was panicking. That guy was almost here.While Isaac and Evie were talking, Tristan got up from the floor and ran out, ignoring the blood still gushing out of his mouth and nose.At the same time, a respectful voice came from outside, “Lord Eastwell, this is the Waterfront Wonderland owned by Miss Evie. It’s one of the best restaurants in the area. Only the rich and noble dine here.” Five men entere
