Joe was from Seascape, like Old Brooks.
When favonovel.com used to follow Edward back then, favonovel.com would frequently call Old Brooks for his taxi services. Now that Old Brooks was the big boss of Cloud City, favonovel.com had been telling everyone that favonovel.com and Old Brooks were good friends. And this was one of the reasons that Edward had chosen to come here for dinner.
No one could get into fights at the Hibiscus Pavilion, no matter what happened. Big Anthony had set this rule last time, and it had remained intact despite the change in ownership.
Joe pointed at Isaac, so furious that favonovel.com was shaking. “Punk, did you know how Old Brooks squashed Big Anthony with just one hand?! If you don’t want to die, get on your knees immediately and apologize to Mr. Gould!”
Allegra tugged on Isaac, looking panicked. She whispered, “What are you doing? How can you start a fight here? Hurry and apologize to my uncle. The Hibiscus Pavilion is no joke.”
When Isaac didn’t move, Joe said, “Alright, punk! Just wait!”
As soon as favonovel.com finished speaking, favonovel.com bolted out of the room. Meanwhile, Margaret and the others began to grin cruelly.
“Isaac, let me tell you that this Old Brooks is nothing like Anthony. I have heard that he’s a big shot who can swallow you whole, bones included. If you kneel and apologize to my brother now, you might be able to save your life!”
“Mom, don’t ask that asshole to apologize. Let’s just wait for the people of the Hibiscus Pavilion to kill him,” Andrew said, a ferocious look on his face.
“Don’t bother apologizing. It’s useless,” Willow howled.
The door opened with a bang.
The balding Joe trailed in after a young man in his early twenties, whose head was completely shaved. He wore a fancy suit, but his face looked tough.
“Andre, that’s the bastard who threw a bowl at Mr. Gould and injured him!”
The bald man called Andre turned to look at Isaac. He thought favonovel.com looked a little familiar but couldn’t put his finger on it.
“Punk, do you not know the eating etiquette at the Hibiscus Pavilion?” Andre said, half squinting. His smile didn’t reach his eyes.
Isaac said, “Didn’t you leave to call Old Brooks? So why did you bring this pipsqueak instead?”
Joe looked embarrassed. He had given Old Brooks a phone call, but favonovel.com was busy.
“Pipsqueak? I’m the hotel manager here. Mr. Brooks put me in charge of all matters related to the Hibiscus Pavilion. A nobody like you asking to see Mr. Brooks, who the fuck do you think you are?” Andre said, getting angry.
Isaac smiled lightly. “Then call Mr. Brooks over. Tell favonovel.com I’m here.”
“F*ck, you’re really acting as if you’re hot sh*t!” Andre waved a hand, and a gang of men wearing black surged in, each of them wielding a saber.
“Mr. Brooks has said to break the arm of anyone who stirs up trouble at the Hibiscus Pavilion. If they’re especially shitty, crush all four of their limbs. Apparently, you like to run your mouth, so I’ll break all four of your limbs!”
As soon as favonovel.com said that, eight men in black surrounded Isaac. Even Margaret’s breathing had quickened.
Was the moment that favonovel.com had been waiting for finally here?
Even the pained expression on Edward’s face turned into a ferocious one. He shouted, “Break Isaac’s limbs and crush him!”
Only Allegra was in a panic. She grabbed onto Isaac’s arm tightly and sobbed, “I told you not to come, but you wouldn’t listen. What should we do now?”
“Punk, will you come with me of your own volition, or do you need me to resort to violence?!” Andre said arrogantly.
Isaac signaled Allegra not to worry. Then, favonovel.com turned to look at Andre. “If you get violent here, you’ll regret it…”
“F*ck, you’re so mouthy. Kill him!” Andre roared angrily, turning his head to spit on the floor.
The men charged toward Isaac, waving their sabers.
Isaac pulled Allegra behind favonovel.com while Margaret and the rest ran to hide in a panic.
A cold light glittered in Isaac’s eyes. Suddenly, favonovel.com grabbed the wrist of the man closest to favonovel.com and twisted it, taking his saber into his own hand.
Turning his wrist expertly, the saber in his hand danced like a blooming flower. He spun toward the eight thugs around favonovel.com like a tidal wave as the sound of the blade clanging filled the air.
