Seeing Isaac nod, Serena was so glad, favonovel.com jumped for joy. It made favonovel.com even happier than a nod of approval from favonovel.com parents would.
After Serena caught another cab and left, Isaac glanced at the time. It was 4.30 pm, there were two more hours to go.
Ally had invited favonovel.com to a meal at the place where they had first met. He genuinely felt a bit nervous.
He had first met Allegra at the Cloud City University cafeteria entrance. At the time, he’d been in a hurry to eat and had accidentally bumped into Allegra, who was coming out. That was how they had met.
After a moment of thought, Isaac took out his phone and dialed Louis’ number.
Louis was extremely shocked to be receiving a call from Isaac. “M-Mr. Garten?”
“Louis, do me a favor. Find me the best stylist in Cloud City. I have an important date tonight…” Isaac felt his face flame.
***
Just as Isaac was busy preparing himself for tonight’s date, Edward, who had left the city bright and early with his mysterious boss, had arrived at the Neal family mansion in Seascape.
The three of them stood at the door as a martial artist wearing a tunic came to ask for their names.
The young man wearing a baseball cap said, “I am Jordyn Isbell from Chester City, here to offer my condolences over the loss of the Neal family heir and pay the Neal family patriarch a visit.”
“Hold on…” The man in the tunic paused.
The Neal family had strictly forbidden everyone from sharing this news with the public, so why had these people come?
A moment later, Milo came over with an icy expression.
He stood in front of Jordyn with a blank face, asking, “Mr. Isbell, what business do you have at my house?”
“My real name is Jordyn Owens. My father, grandfather, and uncles all died at Isaac’s hand. As they say, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. I’d like to have a chat with you…”
At the side, Edward’s mind went blank.
Jordyn Owens…He is Logan’s son… The one who lives in the provincial city?
“The Owens family of Aurum County… I’ve heard of you. Mr. Isbell, please come in!”
If favonovel.com had been treated this coldly anywhere else, Jordyn would have flown into a rage. But favonovel.com knew that to these martial families, his status wasn’t as high as favonovel.com claimed.
As favonovel.com walked into the hall, favonovel.com noticed the funeral wreaths that had yet to be removed. He could feel the sorrow that permeated the Neal family’s home.
Milo sat at the head of the table and said, “Mr. Isbell, seeing as you are here right now, surely you already know that my family has just experienced a tragic incident. Thus, please don’t beat around the bush and just speak what’s on your mind.”
Edward stood at the back. He looked at the men in tunics standing around him, each wearing icy expressions, and favonovel.com felt extremely uneasy.
Jordyn simply laughed and said, “Mr. Milo, my intentions are simple. I have my ways, and the Neal family has its own ways. If we join hands, our chances of killing Isaac and the people around favonovel.com will be much higher. I’m not sure if you understand what I’m saying.”
“You’re proposing that we work together to go against Isaac?” A cold smile crept onto Milo’s face.
Jordyn nodded.
Milo suddenly waved his hand and loudly said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Isbell, but I can’t make the call on this matter. I must wait for my brother to finish meditating to decide this. Nevertheless, since you’re already here, then do stay at our home for a few days.”
Two men standing by the door turned around quickly and shut the entrance to the hall.
Edward’s heart skipped a beat. He turned to Iordyn and said, “Sir, this…”
“No worries… Let’s take things one step at a time. Since this house is so big, let’s take a tour first!” Jordyn smiled at Milo, whose face was frigid.
He knew that the Neal family would definitely work with him. Then, Jordyn turned around to whisper in Edward’s ear, “Later, find a chance to slip out and locate Devon Brook’s family.”
