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
Only then did Xayden look at Isaac. His eyes narrowed as he gave him a once-over.If this guy was responsible for the massacre of Divine Fists School, then why was he with Evie? What was the nature of their relationship?Isaac was also sizing up Xayden. There weren’t many who could look him in the eye for more than five seconds. Xayden raised an eyebrow and asked Isaac, “Where are you from? Do you know who I am?”“Nowhere. Why should I know who you are?” Isaac rebutted calmly.Xayden frowned. Evie’s heart beat faster. She was worried that Isaac and Xayden would get into a conflict.“My Lord, from what I gathered, this guy is from the Temple of Drakon,” Reece whispered to Xayden.The Temple of Drakon?Something flashed in Xayden’s eyes. He coldly said to Isaac, “Isn’t the Temple of Drakon based abroad? Why are you here to cause trouble in the Nine Continents? And you,” He glanced at Reece. “Just because he’s from the Temple of Drakon, you’re wary of him?”Reece was about to explain him
Reece knew that he had ruined any chance of goodwill from the Princess of Astraeus as soon as he accused Isaac as the murderer, but he hadn’t expected Evie to defend Isaac to this extent.Something was up!Xayden put down the documents he was reading. Darkly, he smiled and said to Evie, “Evie, are you saying that this guy from the Temple of Drakon can just kill any martial arts practitioner he likes as long as Reece is irresponsible in his management? The Divine Fists School may be insignificant, but they’re still a sect under our jurisdiction. Who will answer the Supreme Leader if he asks about it?”Evie’s expression twisted. She was just about to say something when Isaac spoke up. “If you’re so scared, then let Thaddeus Lopez speak to me himself,” he said, smiling casually at Xayden.Xayden was startled for a moment. Then he laughed darkly. “I didn’t know you knew our Supreme Leader by name, little guy. Who do you think you are? Are the people of the Temple of Drakon as arrogant as
