Allegra was excited too. She'd been to Pecling before, but it was her first time going on a trip with her family.Isaac drove with his shades on. Eugene was in the passenger seat, talking about his younger days when he used to visit Pecling on business trips. Allegra sat in the backseat with Isabella, eating snacks and enjoying the fall scenery through the window. It was harmonious.It was a weekday, but there were many tourists. The four of them queued for more than half an hour for the tickets before they could start climbing the Tall Tower.The weather was splendid. Isabella was exhausted before long, so Isaac carried her and conquered the tower in a few breaths.Allegra was undeniably enchanting and graceful, turning heads as she went by.But nobody attempted to woo her, as they saw a man and a child next to her.It wouldn't be a vacation if they didn't enjoy it and take photos. Because of Isabella, Isaac found himself snapping away at the camera like never before.Soon, Isa
"Dad, what's wrong? Your face…" Allegra came to Eugene's side and asked worriedly.The security guards were stunned when they heard these young men knew Raoul. Their faces changed, and they immediately averted their gazes and kept quiet."Wow, what a beauty! Is he your father? Oh my, my bad." Dominic removed his shades when he saw Allegra, his eyes gleaming with lust.He started eyeing Allegra.Eugene told Allegra what had happened. Allegra looked at them angrily and said, "You blocked our car and hit my father! You owe him an apology!""Apology?" The men exchanged glances and burst out laughing."Hey, gorgeous. We've lived in Pecling for our whole lives, and "apology" has never been a part of our vocabulary. How awkward is that?" Dominic abruptly stepped forward and caressed Allegra's cheek, chuckling. "So smooth. Hey, gorgeous. How about this? I'll compensate your old man for 20 thousand dollars. Then, we'll befriend each other and go out for a drink tonight. Does that sound ok
Dominic walked up to the officer, clutching his abdomen. He pointed at his face and threatened, "Look closely at who I am before you bark. I'm Dominic White. Raoul Shaffer is my cousin, the heir to the Shaffer family." Then he bellowed, "That punk started it first, yet you're taking us away? Tell me now, who should you be arresting?"The officer shuddered and paled."I—it's you, Mr. White. I—I'm sorry for not recognizing you." The officer then looked at Allegra and her family with a stern look. "You should come with me to the law enforcement unit. Take them away. Into the car, now."Allegra was stunned. She shouted in a panic, "That's utter nonsense! They're obviously in the wrong, so why are you arresting us? You—"Isaac held Allegra back and said softly, "Don't argue. I'll handle this." Isaac waved and stopped the officers, taking out an entry pass from the car's glove compartment. "Wait. Before you take me away, call Pecling's Police Department and ask them to bring some men ove
"Argh!"Dominic shrieked in anguish and collapsed.His friends were dumbfounded. They watched as blood pooled under Dominic's leg, and their hair stood on end.The security guards were scared out of their wits. They scrambled away."Mr. White, Mr. White! Are you okay?" Perrin saw Dominic was on the verge of blacking out due to the pain. He stood and pointed at Isaac, growling, "You jerk! Do you know what you've done? You're done now, for good!"Dominic was rolling about, screaming, "Quick! Call Mr. Shaffer! Now! Argh! I can't take this anymore!"The crowd around them grew bigger. Isaac looked at the frightened herd of young men before him and said, "My name is Isaac Garten. I'll be at the Sanctum Hotel if you need me."After that, Isaac entered the car. He didn't want to stay a minute longer since Isabella was there.Isaac started the engine, but the Panamera was still in his way. Seeing this, Perrin and two other men lunged forward, growling, "Jerk! Don't even think about leav
He wanted to meet the man his grandfather feared so much.The receptionist was startled to see this group of upper-class men and immediately reported it secretly to the manager. Suddenly, Beefy Bob's voice came from behind: "Isaac's not around. He asked me to wait here for you all. What business do you have with him?"They turned and saw the stout figure a stone's throw away. They were stunned for a moment before they burst out laughing."Fatso, are you alone? Do you even know why Mr. Shaffer is looking for Isaac? Move, or else—"Beefy Bob's stout figure darted forward like a tank and slapped Perrin. Perrin yelped and crashed onto the wall behind the counter.There were shrieks everywhere as the hotel hall erupted into chaos.Raoul squinted and said coldly, "Do you know who I am, fatso?""Here you are, loitering when you should be mourning your father's death. Does your grandfather know about this?" Beefy Bob grinned back at Raoul.Raoul's brows furrowed. He thought, "How did
Everyone in the hall froze, afraid Beefy Bob would hurt Raoul if they moved. However, several martial arts practitioners had blocked the entrance. A group of bodyguards was in action too.From a room on the right, Rodrick appeared with two guards.When Raoul saw him, he screamed in agitation, "Grandpa! Save me! This guy said he wanted to kill me. Save me!"Rodrick's eyes widened in shock when he saw Beefy Bob. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes. Then he smiled and asked, "Aren't you Drakon's subordinate? Why is my grandson with you? What's the meaning of all this?""Your grandson isn't very sensible. Isaac asked me to bring him here and personally hand him over to you." Beefy Bob stared directly at Rodrick and said, "He said that if there's a next time, he won't mind reuniting this kid with his father!"The atmosphere was stifling."Kill him! Kill this man, you hear me?" Raoul growled, his face twisted with anger.Nobody had ever dared to insult the Shaffer family, the strong
"Guards!"A man briskly entered."Inform the security force to take turns protecting Raoul for the whole day from today onward!"He'd already lost a son; he couldn't allow anything to happen to his grandson.Rodrick's phone had undergone special treatment, so he didn't have to worry about leaving trails behind.Still, after pondering, he searched his contact list and dialed a number.Isaac and Isabella were in the garden, feeding the swans. Isaac's phone rang, and he swiftly pulled it out and answered it."Black Phoenix, what's wrong?""Drakon, Beefy Bob's in danger. Someone abducted him, and they're now on the highway heading east."Isaac narrowed his eyes. The Shaffer family!He asked Allegra to look after Isabella and Eugene while he hurriedly went to the park lot, dialing Ethan's number as he moved.Within ten minutes, the nearest law enforcement unit sent ten armed officers in casual clothes to protect Allegra and her family secretly.A black Jeep sped on the highway a
Isaac and Beefy Bob entered Evergreen Hall to see a few dozen members of the Shaffer family dressed in dark-colored clothes looking at them angrily.Dozens of guards in black attire and more than ten martial arts practitioners stood by the walls, ready for action.The Shaffer family was well known in Pecling. Rodrick's post in the House of Custos enabled them to stand higher than most.But now, their patriarch was dead, and their heir had suffered a beating. The humiliation was unbearable."Kill him!""Kill that son of a bitch!""Kill that bastard, Sir Rodrick, and avenge Rodney!"Everyone bawled and screamed in fury. Rodrick stood before all of them, hands behind his back. His expression was as cold as ice as he watched Isaac and Beefy Bob enter."Did you send your men to abduct my pal and bury him alive on Mt. Herbes?" Isaac stood five yards away from Rodrick, his icy gaze sweeping over the crowd."Isaac, my son died at your hands. Now, everyone standing behind me can't wa
