“Isaac, Bob really scared me earlier. He’s so cruel,” Allegra couldn’t help but comment. Her stomach was now totally emptied.Isaac pinched a cigarette between his fingers. He hesitated briefly before saying, “Actually, he has a disease, so I can’t really blame him.”“Disease? What kind of disease?”“It’s a little like rabies. It’s quite rare; once it acts up, he may even bite himself.” Isaac looked up, gazing into the horizon. If he phrased it this way, Ally might understand better.Shock was written all over Allegra’s face. She fell silent.Before they knew it, they’d walked to the back alley behind Cloud City University. There were a lot of local delicacies here. Further behind was the Cloud River, also known as the River of Young Intellectuals—courtesy of its close proximity to the university.Allegra suddenly stopped in her tracks. She gazed at a small pizzeria opposite them.“The man who shared your name used to really like coming here for their pizzas.” Her voice was very
Isaac followed Old Brooks into the Hibiscus Pavilion. However, Old Brooks didn’t go in; he simply chatted with the two security guards by the main door.He stood there smoking and observing his surroundings, chatting jovially. He looked nothing like a man who’d just lost his flesh and blood.The more strangely Old Brooks acted, the more interested Isaac got.Suddenly, Old Brooks went in.At night, the Hibiscus Pavilion was extremely lively. Most of the cars parked there were luxury cars, and there were a large number of visitors who had come here to have some fun.Isaac followed him inside. He saw Old Brooks go up to the second floor, knock on the door of a private room, and enter.The door was left ajar. Isaac walked over and saw four men inside the room playing poker, enshrouded in smoke.The heavily bearded Old Brooks walked over to a man with a buzz cut and said lowly, “Hey, Six, I wanted to ask you about two people. Last night, two of your men raped a female university stud
Not waiting for the two thugs’ answers, Old Brooks retrieved a photograph from his pocket. He showed it to them and asked, “Do you two have any recollection of this girl?”Of course, it was a photo of Old Brooks’ daughter, but the two thugs didn’t know about the suicide that happened this evening.“Hey, isn’t this the university student from last night? She was so prim and proper. Bro, do you have eyes on her too?”“Heh, she was my daughter.” A pained smile appeared on Old Brooks’ face when he uttered these words.Suddenly, he took out his dagger and stabbed Doug in the crotch.After the blade went in, he gave it a twist. An agonized scream reverberated through the lobby, and Doug immediately fell onto the floor.When Darlie saw all this unfold, he knew he was in trouble. He turned around to run, but Old Brooks was faster. Old Brooks launched a kick at the back of Darlie’s knee.Darlie stumbled and fell. “Please, sir, what do you want? Please let me go,” he begged in fear as he
The onlookers turned their heads to look. When Big Anthony saw Isaac walking over, his eyes widened in shock. He immediately surveyed his surroundings. Only after he ascertained Beefy Bob wasn’t here did he let out a sigh of relief.That musclehead had stormed into the Hibiscus Pavilion this afternoon and injured over 20 of his men. His strength was simply terrifying. As for Isaac, he didn’t take him seriously.“I’ve been searching all over for you, but you ended up saving me a lot of effort. Garten, I had never thought that you’d deliver yourself to me.”Isaac pointed at Old Brooks on the floor and smiled lightly. “Let him go, and I’ll let you off for tonight.”“Let me off? Do you fucking think you’re that musclehead?” Big Anthony was so infuriated that he started laughing. He waved his hand, and footsteps began to thunder from downstairs. Another 40 thugs burst into the lobby.Suddenly, the lobby was packed with at least 100 thugs. The guests got scared and ran to hide in the
Old Brooks flicked the lighter a few times, but it wouldn’t light. His eyes grew red, and suddenly, he was squatting on the floor, sobbing painfully with his arms around his head.“My daughter is gone…”“Life is unpredictable.” Isaac puffed out a smoke ring. Beneath the streetlamp, the two men’s shadows stretched long beneath their feet.Afterward, Old Brooks said he wanted to go to the funeral parlor to be with his daughter. Isaac didn’t tag along; instead, he hailed a cab to Riverview.In the deep night, the villa’s lights were still on. When Isaac opened the door, he noticed two pairs of shoes he didn’t recognize in the entryway. One was a pair of women’s high heels, while the other was a pair of men’s shoes.When he entered the bathroom, he saw two new sets of toiletries.Isaac could guess what had happened. After he finished washing up, he went to the living room, and Allegra came downstairs in her nightgown.Her hair hung loosely over her shoulders, and her long neck and d
Isaac’s words made Margaret burst into angry tears. Although she wasn’t young anymore, she took good care of herself. She knew she couldn’t beat her daughter’s looks, but she wouldn’t fall short either.“I want to die,” Margaret cried out. Then, she turned around and ran straight toward a wall.When Allegra saw this, her heart instantly jumped to her throat. She screamed loudly.Fortunately, Eugene had quick reflexes. He ran forward and stopped her.“Isaac, apologize to my mother.” Allegra turned around, her chest heaving as she pointed at Margaret.“I didn’t do it, so why should I apologize? If I apologized, that would mean I was guilty.” Isaac’s expression didn’t change.Allegra gritted her teeth and said, “Well, okay, then. I was truly blind to never notice that you’re a bastard of a man. Get the fuck out!”Isaac turned around and walked out without an explanation.From the corner of her eye, Margaret watched Isaac disappear from the doorway, her eyes lighting up with deligh
The concierge couldn’t turn away the guest who had booked the presidential suite for a month, so he called the security guard over.Isaac took the elevator to go to Room 1508. Then, he leaned against the wall and smoked.There wasn’t much noise, but he could still hear a bit of what was going on. When he thought about his father-in-law, Eugene, he felt horrible!After about an hour, the door opened with a click.Margaret opened the door. Then, she turned and waved to someone inside the room. “Honey, you get some rest. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Then, she shrieked, rapidly backing away. Her heels got caught on the carpet, and she fell onto her back. “You…”“Two days ago, you said I molested you, but today, you brought this gigolo over for some fun. Dearest mother-in-law, you sure are something!” Isaac lit another cigarette and laughed.Margaret quickly stood up. She glared at Isaac coldly and said, “W—What do you want? Or rather, how much money do you want?”“If you meet Ally and re
Allegra had seen similar videos on TikTok before. She’d never expected to see it in real life today.In the living room, Allegra pointed at the dining room and said, “What’s the meaning of your all-chicken dinner tonight? What’s this about chicken?”“Your dad has been cock-olded.”“What?”“I said your dad has been cuckolded by your mother… mmph!”Before Isaac could finish speaking, Allegra suddenly flew forward and covered his mouth. Her whole body was pressed to Isaac’s.“Do you want to die? Because if you say this out loud, someone will die,” said Allegra angrily into Isaac’s ear.“Allegra, are you two not eating anymore?” Eugene’s voice sounded from the doorway.Allegra quickly backed away, blushing. She turned around, smiled, and said, “Dad, you guys go ahead. We’ll be right there.” Then, she frowned at Isaac. “My mother told me about how she falsely accused you two days ago and even asked me not to get mad. However, I hope this matter ends here. You’re not allowed to bring
