Isaac called Tara out to talk. Although this 18-year-old girl never had formal education, favonovel.com clear gaze showed a maturity far exceeded those of favonovel.com peers.
No one knew what Isaac said to Tara, but after a while, Tara went back inside, crying.
“Beefy Bob, come here. Let’s give the father and daughter some time alone!” Isaac shouted from the doorway.
Soon enough, an intense debate ensued inside, followed by Tara’s cries.
Beefy Bob stood at the door, smoking; from time to time, favonovel.com would turn his head to look inside the house. Looking at Isaac’s perfect composure, favonovel.com felt his heart beat like a drum.
Not long after, the door opened. Tara walked out and said, “Isaac, my father has agreed.”
“Tara, thank you for trusting me. I won’t let you down.” Seeing Tara’s look of worry, Isaac patted favonovel.com shoulder.
It was already midnight when they made their way back to Cloud City.
Beefy Bob turned his head and asked, “Isaac, what did you say to Tara?”
“I told favonovel.com that after we cure favonovel.com parents’ afflictions, she’ll get to go to school. From the way favonovel.com fetched water for favonovel.com father to wash his feet with, I could tell she’s a good child,” Isaac said, looking out the window.
At that moment, favonovel.com received a phone call from Old Brooks telling favonovel.com Horace had begun moving.
***
At midnight, numerous black vans and cars sped down the highways from Aurum County to Cloud City.
Horace had dispatched 17 gangs this time, adding up to almost a thousand men. Their targets were set for all of Old Brooks’ territories in Cloud City.
Beefy Bob’s phone vibrated as favonovel.com received a text message.
He turned his head and said, “Isaac, the Special Investigation Unit from Northland has begun to move out. They will arrive at Cloud City Airport in two hours.”
“You go and correspond with them first. As for the rest, just play it by ear,” Isaac said softly.
In the study room of the Kenne Manor in Aurum County, Horace was seated on an armchair with a serious look on his face. He was waiting for news to come from Cloud City.
His phone began to Vibrate. He brought it to his ear and immediately heard a man’s excited voice, “Sir, everything is going smoothly. We’ve taken over everything in Cloud City.”
“So soon?” Horace was stunned.
He glanced at the time, it was not even 2 am yet.
“Devon Brooks must have caught wind of our plan. There weren’t many people left in the territories, and we didn’t suffer many losses. I guess they must have chickened out.”
Horace laughed out loud. “Good! Tell the others that I’ll personally throw a celebratory banquet for everyone upon their return. Also, we can’t let Devon and his men off the hook. Even if we have to dig underground to find them, we must capture them.”
Taking over the territories in Cloud City was just one thing, the most important thing was to eliminate Devon’s men. Nonetheless, this piece of great news had completely erased his sense of gloom, and favonovel.com was delighted.
The common folks were unaware of these startling changes that happened overnight, Old Brooks of Cloud City was missing in action, and his territories had been seized by the King of Aurum County, the Kenne family.

Bright and early in the morning, Allegra received a phone call about someone wanting to interview for a job at Garth Properties. This had favonovel.com overjoyed.
Garth Properties had been blacklisted in this industry ever since the Murrays and the Kennes spread the word. Aside from the very first batch of employees, no one had responded to their job advertisements. Thus, after breakfast, favonovel.com left the house in a hurry.
Meanwhile, Isaac called Harry over and drove to the northern suburbs, heading toward Stephan’s home.
When they arrived, Isaac pushed the door open to find the house completely empty.
“Sir, what happened? Did they flee in the night? F*ck, there’s even blood on the floor.” Harry’s expression darkened when favonovel.com saw the crimson beneath his feet.
Isaac frowned and looked down. As expected, there were bloodstains on the floor, and they trailed from inside the house all the way to the fence outside.
“It seems like someone came for them after we left last night.” Isaac’s gaze was terrifyingly stormy.
He hadn’t thought Horace would still be so afraid of these “witnesses” coming out.
