“He has to have a taste of losing his close ones too.”
The one who had just spoken was the fourth among the siblings, Guido Isbell, who was prominent across Pecling.
“That‘s right. I agree with Guido. The Isbell family doesn’t push others around, but we’ll never let others push us around. Isaac Garten… No matter how powerful the Temple of Drakon is, we must avenge Logan and Jordyn,” snarled Gaston Isbell, the third among the siblings, who had been silent until now. He punched the air.
Gael agreed with a threatening tone, “Guido is right. If we can’t kill Isaac, we shall kill his close ones instead!”
Seeing that his children insisted on revenge, Garrett closed his eyes and breathed deeply. There was no helping it, it seemed.
“Do as you deem fit… I’m tired…” He waved and walked into the house, carrying the urn.
***
At 9 pm, everyone in the Gould family, including Andrew and his wife, who had just returned from the hospital, sat on the sofa in the Gould family’s residence. The mood was somber.
“Haha! What‘s wrong with you guys? We came back unscathed, didn’t we?” Edward stood and burst out laughing.
“Edward, I didn’t sleep the whole night last night. I feel terribly uneasy, perhaps all of you can leave Cloud City and stay away from the eye of the storm. An old geezer like me shall stay back to look after the house…” Alec frowned.
They arrived back in Cloud City in a rush last night. Although his children didn’t mention anything, favonovel.com could somewhat guess from the wounds his daughter and grandson suffered.
“Dad, what are you afraid of? I’ve transferred part of our funds overseas. Besides, I’ve contacted Tigris Corporation and Cormnisia Corporation in Aurum County, they are inclined to buy over Gould Corporation…”
“Mr. Hatter and Mr. Danfield both have strong connections. I offered them a rate 30 percent lower than the market price, they would never let anything happen to us before we sealed the deal!”
Upon hearing that his son had everything planned, Alec waved and said, “Alright… As long as you have everything thought out.”
Margaret looked hostile as favonovel.com said, “Isaac promised favonovel.com wouldn’t take our lives. We are the sole supplier of the materials needed on that brute, Allegra’s project. If anything happens to us, favonovel.com won’t be able to develop the new township completely.”
“That’s right. Margaret has a point.” Edward gave favonovel.com a thumbs up.
At that moment, Edward’s phone vibrated. He answered it and heard a panicky voice.
“M-Mr. Gould, something terrible happened. Our factories… Hummingwell and Yelloworks had explosions, many workers died…”
“What? Explosions? Call the fire department quickly! Put out the fire at once-minimize the damage!” Edward started trembling.
These two were the largest building material factories under their corporation.
How could the explosions happen?
Another call came right after favonovel.com hung up.
“Mr. Gould, fire, there’s a fire. Our corporation building is on fire…”
Margaret’s phone rang next. She answered it frantically and heard a sobbing voice saying, “Ms. Gould, why isn’t Mr. Gould answering his phone? T-The economic investigators had just arrested our finance manager… The Internal Revenue Service was with them…”
“They took Mr. Stone from the marketing department too. In fact, they arrested many people-they took most of the management personnel. Ask Mr. Gould to come up with a solution as soon as possible!”
Margaret put down favonovel.com phone. Edward had just finished talking, too, his face was ghostly.
“I-It’s Isaac… Isaac made his move…” Margaret was stupefied.
“Margaret, who called? What happened?” Edward bellowed like an enraged beast.
“T-They arrested most of our management personnel. We have no one now,” Margaret cried in fright.
Edward stumbled backward and shook his head. “No, this is impossible! I’ll call Mr. Hatter and Mr. Danfield! Isaac can’t have this much authority!”
Suddenly, cars screeched to a halt outside the house. Approximately 50 men in black clothes swiftly surrounded the villa.
Shawn, having taken over Southland’s underground world, was in a black cloak as favonovel.com strode into the living room with 20 elite subordinates.
