“I-Is this Mr. Jordyn Isbell?” Old Brooks’ voice trembled as favonovel.com asked.
“This is Seascape Law Enforcement Unit. What business do you have with Jordyn Isbell?”
Law Enforcement Unit?
“W-Where is Mr. Isbell? It’s urgent.”
“Don’t you know Jordyn Isbell is dead?”
Beep… Beep…
Hearing this, Old Brooks froze.
Jordyn, dead? How could favonovel.com be dead?
He didn’t want to give up, so favonovel.com called the number again.
“Who exactly are you? We’re busy at the moment,” said the officer impatiently.
“M-May I know what happened to the Neal family? Wasn’t Jordyn with them?” Old Brooks’ tone grew agitated.
As someone born and raised in Seascape, Old Brooks chose Jordyn for another reason, favonovel.com knew Jordyn was allying with the Neal family to take Isaac down.
“The Neals are gone. None survived!” the other side answered and hung up.
Old Brooks tumbled back onto the floor with a thud.
One of the locals asked carefully, “Sir? Did something happen?”
They were from a local village. All they knew about Old Brooks was favonovel.com had a gun and was generous with their pay. He had to have committed deeds to come hiding away in the mountainside at this hour.
Old Brooks closed his eyes and sighed. He looked ten years older when favonovel.com reopened his eyes.
He muttered, “Let’s go down the mountain. Send me to the airport…”
He could opt to continue being on the run, but favonovel.com had so many relatives at home. He couldn’t get them killed just because of him.
***
At 5 pm, less than an hour before it turned dark, Old Brooks’ weary figure appeared in Isaac’s line of view.
He saw Isaac and his family crouching behind him. Old Brooks’ eyes reddened. Trembling, favonovel.com trudged up to Isaac.
“Devon! Devon, you’re finally here! Get someone to chase them out quickly! They killed someone!” one of the women started shouting agitatedly as soon as favonovel.com saw Old Brooks, as though favonovel.com was their savior.
“Devon, save us! You’re the most capable in this family-call for help!” another man shouted, sobbing.
Old Brooks slowly approached Isaac and promptly knelt.
He lowered his head and sobbed, “Mr. Garten, I’m sorry… I was wrong. I was wrong!”
“Old Brooks, did you know I was giving you a chance that morning when I asked you to kneel before me? Did you think I wouldn’t know that you had secretly contacted Jordyn Isbell? What a pity…”
Isaac’s brows furrowed. He puffed out a mouthful of smoke. “You’re not that Old Brooks who used to drive a taxi…”
Old Brooks shuddered. He looked up and stared intently at Isaac.
So, that was it…
Lupinus tossed a dagger to Old Brooks.
“You’ve helped me in the past, so I’ll let you die a pleasant death in the presence of your family. Take your own life,” said Isaac. He stood and walked out, his hands behind his back.
Beefy Bob sighed, shaking his head as favonovel.com left.
Just as they left the room, cries and screams burst out inside.
Beefy Bob knew Isaac despised those who betrayed him. It was worthwhile for Old Brooks to exchange his life for his family’s.
“Isaac, are we going to the airport?” Beefy Bob glanced at Isaac, whose eyes were closed.
“Head for the airport and call Watson, the Martin family, and Shawn. Before dawn, I want no more traces of Gould Corporation in Cloud City…” said Isaac slowly.
Beefy Bob tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his eyes sparkling.
Is Isaac finally going to teach the Gould family a lesson?
He had been waiting too long for this moment!
