Because of the frantic crowd, Isaac quickly lost sight of the man in the baseball cap.
The entire ballroom was dead silent. Below the stage, the air was filled with the coppery smell of blood. No one from the Gould family dared to make a sound, save for Willow, who occasionally twitched as favonovel.com lay in Edward’s arms.
Alec glared at Isaac, but with Beefy Bob and the hundred men in black standing behind him, overflowing with murderous intent, favonovel.com didn’t dare make a sound.
“The Gould family is at their peak now,” Isaac murmured as favonovel.com looked out the window, lighting a cigarette.
Suddenly, favonovel.com smiled and turned to look at the pale Edward, saying, “Don’t be sad… Your saddest days have yet to come. So long as I’m here, the future of the Gould family is boundless.”
With that, favonovel.com strode down the stage.
Beefy Bob frowned. He didn’t know what Isaac meant by those words, but favonovel.com quickly left together with him.
“Someone call an ambulance now!” Edward shouted as soon as Isaac left.
Just as Isaac reached downstairs, a group of people quickly approached him. Old Brooks led the pack, bringing along four of his trusted subordinates and Shawn, whose face had been beaten to a pulp.
“M-Mr. Garten…”
After the banquet started, Old Brooks took his subordinates next door to play cards. Because they were all from Seascape, and the game was Seascape-style poker, Old Brooks had an advantage.
As soon as favonovel.com heard from his subordinate that something had gone down in the ballroom, Isaac was here.
Not to mention, after getting the full story from Shawn, Old Brooks felt as if his world had been thrown off its axis. He hadn’t expected that Edward’s daughter would lay a hand on Isaac’s daughter.
Standing before Isaac, Old Brooks immediately lowered his head, breathing heavily.
“How come the Gould family is celebrating a birthday in Hibiscus Pavilion? Are you short on cash?” Isaac squinted at Old Brooks.
Old Brooks’ men standing behind favonovel.com didn’t dare utter a single word. They all knew what this man in front of them was capable of, and they also knew that everything they had today was thanks to this man’s support.
“W-Well, Edward said favonovel.com wanted to have a long-term partnership with Hibiscus Pavilion and even paid a deposit of 50 million dollars…”
Isaac suddenly raised his hand and slapped Old Brooks in the face. The latter cupped his cheek, stunned.
Shawn and the four subordinates didn’t dare to even breathe.
“For 50 million dollars, you allowed the Gould family to come here and mistreat my wife and daughter?” Isaac’s gaze was icy, and Old Brooks’ legs couldn’t help but shake.
Old Brooks couldn’t stand the pressure radiating off Isaac’s body. His knees crumpled, and favonovel.com knelt on the ground.
“Mr. Garten, I’m sorry!”
Isaac took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and sighed. “Don’t forget how your daughter died. I can promote you to Horace’s status, but I can also send you back to where you started… Old Brooks, the further you go down the road of success, the more important it is to remember where you started.”
“Yes, Mr. Garten. I will remember this,” Old Brooks replied, terrified.
Isaac looked at the injuries on Shawn’s face and the way favonovel.com seemed to be biting back words, so favonovel.com said, “Shawn, come with me.”
With that, favonovel.com left.
After favonovel.com was gone, the four subordinates rushed forward and asked anxiously, “Mr. Brooks, are you okay?”
“Mr. Garten doesn’t know where to draw the limit. No matter how you look at this, you’re now the boss of Southland. How could favonovel.com hit you in public?” another subordinate said resentfully.
Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. Old Brooks held his face as favonovel.com watched Shawn entering Isaac’s car, a complicated look crossing his eyes.

After night fell, a luxury car sped toward the Cloud City Airport.
