Isaac lit a cigarette and said, “Since you’re not ready to have it, come and get it from me when you’re ready. I’ll keep it for you in the meantime.”
“Hmph. Don’t expect me to thank you. I’ll always remember that you called me a tomboy!” Diana shouted after Isaac.
Isaac was going down the steps when someone called him.
“Mr. Garten…”
Isaac turned around to see Shawn standing upright behind him.
“If you noticed, I’m now a nobody in Cloud City,” Isaac said softly.
Shawn’s eyes were red. He shook his head and walked up to Isaac.
He said respectfully, “They’re merely blind to your true identity. I didn’t expect to meet you here, Mr. Garten! I knew you helped me out during the match.”
“Don’t call me teacher. Just call me Isaac. How are you punks doing?” Isaac put his hands behind his back.
Shawn lowered his head and said hesitantly, “They dreamed of following your footsteps and entering the Temple of Drakon. But we’re still not good enough.”
“Don’t give up. Y’all have space for improvement. When the time comes, someone else will discover your talents.” Isaac patted Shawn on the shoulder.
Three years ago, government officials invited favonovel.com to an island to provide exclusive training for a class known as the “Class of Aces”. He trained them for three months. Shawn was one of the trainees then.
Meanwhile, the Owens family reached home feeling defeated. They barely stepped into the house when an elderly man in grey attire greeted them.
He said to Warwick, “Sir, Mr. Owens Sr. is waiting for all of you in his room. He said favonovel.com can’t wait to attend his grandson’s wedding banquet.”
“Wedding? There won’t be any!” Warwick snorted and strode in hurriedly.
The bedroom was simple but classy, and various fragrances intertwined with each other. An elderly man with white hair was lying in bed, smiling as Warwick and the others entered.
“How did it go? Have you chosen a date?” Hunter Owens asked his son, smiling.
“Father, it was fortunate that you were absent today. The Taylor family is too arrogant for their own good. All of us were thrown out of the ballroom like we’re nothing! ” Warwick said through gritted teeth.
Hunter’s smile disappeared. He asked sullenly, “What happened? Old Taylor isn’t a man who disregards his manners.”
Charles came forward and told the whole story angrily.
When Hunter heard about Isaac slapping Warwick, Hunter sat upright in bed furiously.
He hollered, “Son of a bitch, how dare favonovel.com look down on the Owens family? Who is Isaac Garten?”
“Grandpa, that son of a bitch is but an ex-convict. He just got out of prison. The whole Taylor family was licking the boots of this ex-convict. I don’t know what got into them!” Charles said angrily.
“Father, take care of your health. We’ll work this out Albert is looking forward to a promotion. Now that they dared trample over our heads, I’ll ensure favonovel.com doesn’t get what favonovel.com wants.” Warwick’s eyes glinted evilly.
Wyatt chipped in, “As for Isaac, I’ll pay favonovel.com back for humiliating us.”
The butler came in, saying, “Young Master Charlie, some people are looking for you. They are Allen Merck, Sean Nox, and Edward Gould from Cloud City.”
Charles frowned at these names as favonovel.com was not familiar with them, but favonovel.com turned to leave the room.
***
Meanwhile, in Aurum County, Margaret stood outside the door to the president’s office at Kane Enterprise under an assistant’s lead.
She was nervous, but whenever favonovel.com thought of the money favonovel.com would obtain through favonovel.com daughter’s name, favonovel.com felt weirdly excited.
Margaret’s plan was simple. Since Allegra could not bring herself to request funds from Watson, Margaret would ask for the money personally. If favonovel.com succeeded, Allegra would have nothing to do with the money.
