Isabella’s words made Allegra’s face instantly flush red. She stammered out nonsense, averting favonovel.com gaze before getting up and going to the kitchen.
She kept thinking that favonovel.com daughter had been crying because favonovel.com was scared of those people at the cafe.
One thing favonovel.com didn’t understand was the fact that Isabella hadn’t known Isaac for that long, but why did they seem closer than favonovel.com was with her?
At sunset, Diana went home after work.
Seeing favonovel.com grandfather drinking tea in the pavilion, favonovel.com immediately walked over.
“Grandfather, I’ve got something interesting to share… Isaac murdered someone! ” Her expression carried a hint of shock.
Old Taylor paused. “Really? Who did favonovel.com murder?”
“That’s the interesting part. He said favonovel.com killed our deputy chief’s nephew, but in the end, that bastard got off soot-free. Instead, our deputy chief got demoted five ranks and transferred to that bumfuck place Sibeska to do traffic duty.”
Old Taylor smiled. “God has his own plans. Don’t get involved blindly…”
At that moment, Diana furrowed favonovel.com eyebrows.
She stamped favonovel.com foot angrily and said, “I don’t know how that a*shole hypnotized you, Grandfather, but let me remind you again, if that a*shole comes to my birthday banquet the day after tomorrow, don’t blame me if I get mad at you!”
“If Mr. Garten can make it, it would be our family’s honor. Don’t cause trouble, got it?” Old Taylor shouted with a serious face.
Diana pouted and harrumphed. “We’ll see!”
Walking out of the pavilion, favonovel.com stopped in favonovel.com tracks, seemingly deep in thought. Then, favonovel.com took out favonovel.com phone and dialed a number.
“Finn, are you back yet? Invite the best wrestling expert you know. I want to beat someone up. Oh, right, please text Charles and let favonovel.com know that Isaac is attending my birthday banquet.”
“What the f*ck is going on, Diana? Are you dating someone? Who is Isaac? How come I’ve never heard of him?” came a man’s excited voice.
Diana took a deep breath and replied angrily, “Just do as I say.”
After hanging up, favonovel.com harrumphed again. “A*shole, if you dare turn up, I’ll show you how it’s done!”
Late at night, smoke filled the office on the fifth floor of an entertainment club on the city’s east side.
The beard on Old Brooks’ face was now darker. Next to him, four men stood around a table with a map on it.
“Old Brooks, if we want to take over half of Anthony’s territory today, aren’t we a little underpowered?” One of the men was not feeling quite confident.
“Zyler’s brainchild, the lightning war, conquered Eudonia and infiltrated Mossina in a short period of time. Right now, we also have no choice but to resort to a lightning war to take over half of Anthony’s territory. Only then would we gain capital. Then, those people, who are on the fence, would start drawing close to us of their own accord…”
“Anthony has 300 men under him, while we have over 100. As long as we conquer the Hibiscus Pavilion tonight, we’ll have 400 people tomorrow.” Old Brooks breathed out a smoke ring, his eyes bloodshot.
Even Old Brooks himself didn’t know that it would feel so easy and natural to rejoin the underground after his daughter’s funeral.
It only took them one night to get from zero to obtaining their first location. Similarly, going from their first location to their first street also took only one night. And now, Old Brooks’ assets were almost catching up to that of Big Anthony.
Tonight, favonovel.com wanted the renowned Big Anthony of Cloud City to feel fear.
The clock hands pointed to 2.30 am. Old Brooks stubbed out his cigarette and shouted, “Tonight, the five of us will target the Hibiscus Pavilion. Are you feeling confident?”
“Yes!” the four men behind favonovel.com chorused in response.
“Move out!”
About 10 minutes later, several cars exited the underground garage of the club one after another, heading toward Big Anthony’s territory. Among them, five cars took different routes, driving toward the most famous location in Cloud City-the Hibiscus Pavilion.
At 4 am, Big Anthony was rudely awakened by his phone blowing up. He turned over and picked it up. He glanced at it, frowned, and brought it to his ear.
“S-Sir, something is very wrong. The Hibiscus Pavilion has been crashed by those foreigners…”
