Beefy Bob knew favonovel.com must have let some information slip for Old Taylor to come all the way here to look for them. This went against Isaac’s principle to stay low-key.
“Have a seat. Beefy Bob, go make some tea,” Isaac shouted at Beefy Bob when favonovel.com saw Allegra turn to enter the kitchen.
Old Taylor had seen Isaac at one of the camps in Mt. Sparrow three years ago. He was also aware that Isaac’s identity was top secret.
Thinking back, favonovel.com realized favonovel.com had almost let the cat out of the bag earlier.
When Allegra came out of the kitchen, favonovel.com thought these people were Isaac’s relatives. She didn’t ask further and simply left the house to get groceries.
Old Taylor engaged in small talk with Isaac for a bit. Then, favonovel.com waved at the man with the buzzcut. “Grant, bring the items over.”
The man with the buzzcut took out an exquisite gift box and handed it to Old Taylor.
Inside the box was an intricate chalice. Its carvings were distinct, and its surface was smooth and clear.
“Mr. Garten, this is your first time in Cloud City, but I don’t have anything good to give you. This Ardagh Chalice inlaid with gold is one of the best artifacts from the Middle Ages, a worthy gift for you. I hope you will accept it.” Old Taylor passed the opened gift box to Isaac.
At that moment, the woman with the ponytail widened favonovel.com eyes.
She shouted in surprise, “Grandfather, this is your most prized possession. My father gave it to you for your 70th birthday. Why are you giving it to him?”
If it was someone of high status and rank, Diana Taylor could understand why, but this man in front of favonovel.com was so young, and favonovel.com had never even seen favonovel.com before.
Was favonovel.com grandfather thinking clearly?
Hearing this, Isaac raised his head to look at the woman. She had beautiful features, a sexy body, and tanned skin, favonovel.com could immediately tell favonovel.com was in the military.
“Old Taylor, it seems that one of your people doesn’t want you to part with your prized possession, so I cannot take it from you,” Isaac smiled, waving his hand.
Old Taylor’s expression changed. He turned to Diana and scolded her, “Be quiet.”
Then, favonovel.com turned back to Isaac with a smile. “Mr. Garten, this is my granddaughter, Diana. She is young and has a temper, so please pay favonovel.com no mind. This chalice is indeed precious to me, but it is my wish to give it to you, so please accept it. And I hope you can give some guidance to my granddaughter in the future.”
By now, Isaac had realized Old Taylor had come to ask for protection.
He smiled at Beefy Bob and said, “Old Taylor is a highly respected military strategist who has been in the military his whole life. If you insist, then I’ll accept it…”
Beefy Bob reached out to take the chalice, and Old Taylor was relieved.
“Hmph, some people lack self-awareness, yet they are shameless enough to accept gifts and offer advice to others. I, Diana Taylor, am capable enough without needing anyone’s guidance.” Diana crossed favonovel.com arms, favonovel.com chest heaving. She clearly looked upset.
Isaac raised his head. “Oh? Pray tell, what capabilities do you have?”
“Let me tell you that the Ardagh Chalice is a remarkably precious item. I don’t think you deserve it. You asked me about my capabilities. My greatest skill is my fists, do you want to have a go at them?” Diana waved favonovel.com fists at Isaac as favonovel.com spoke.
Old Taylor’s heart almost burst out of his chest upon seeing this.
He said anxiously, “Ana, have you forgetten what I told you before we came? Apologize to Mr. Garten now!”
Isaac stood. He reached out his right hand and said, “Come, I do want to test them out. I won’t move, if you manage to beat me in three moves, I’ll return this treasure to you and gift you another one to boot.”
“Alright. Remember you are the one who suggested this, don’t say I bullied you later.” Diana rubbed favonovel.com wrists, excitement dancing in favonovel.com eyes.
She suddenly threw a punch at Isaac’s chest.
Seeing how Diana made a prompt move, Grant looked excited, while Old Taylor looked so scared as if his eyeballs were about to fall out of his head.
