After Isaac and his men left, there was dead silence in the Isbell family’s residence. The only sound present was the rapid breathing of everyone there.
“Mr. Shaffer, how could this be?” Garrett turned and crawled up to Rodrick, howling.
Rodrick looked at Garrett coldly.
Suddenly, favonovel.com kicked Garrett’s shoulder and said menacingly, “You old bastard! You caused the deaths of your sons and dragged the Shaffer family down with you! Get lost!”
Ned and Ted shuddered. They immediately bowed and said, “Condolences, Mr. Shaffer. Let’s take Rodney‘s body back first…”
Their clothes were already soaking wet from sweat. Although they had lost several expert martial arts practitioners, at least they had survived, unlike the Shaffer family. They hadn’t expected that Isaac would alarm Arian, more so Ethan.
The Dorrian and Gilfoyle families wouldn’t dare complain about people who were in that position. Ethan needed only to say a word, and they would be doomed forever.
“Sorry for the trouble…” Rodrick heaved a long sigh and walked toward the living room.
He carried his son‘s corpse in his arms and staggered out of the house.
Garrett and Cyra looked at the mess around them, weeping uncontrollably.
“I told you so! I told you we shouldn’t mess with that man!” Garrett crouched on the ground as favonovel.com wailed.
***
The sky turned dark, and the city lit up. In a tranquil building within Shelleross, waiters served dishes on a square table in a vintage restaurant.
Ethan looked at Isaac and chuckled, pointing at him. “You wreaked havoc this time. You even killed Rodrick‘s son. He would’ve definitely come to Arian a few days later for revenge…”
Arian was sitting aside like an escort. He immediately shook his hands. “There’s no such thing. As Mr. Grannel said, the Shaffer family deserved it. There’s no one else to blame.”
“Hmm… From your words, I believe you’re still rational.”
Isaac spotted another pair of cutleries beside him. He smiled and asked, “Mr. Grannel, do we have someone else joining us?”
Ethan nodded. “Soon…”
Footsteps approached.
A uniformed man led Allegra, who was nervous, into the room.
“Miss Booth, this way…” The man stopped after reaching the entrance.
Allegra saw Isaac sitting at the table. Her face lit up. “Isaac, why are you here?”
“Haha! Let’s eat now that you’re both here. Isaac, you don’t blame me for bringing your wife over, do you?” Ethan looked at Allegra and guffawed.
Meanwhile, Allegra was stunned when favonovel.com saw Ethan. He looked very familiar-she thought she’d always seen this man on television.
“Are you Ethan Grannel?” Allegra covered favonovel.com mouth, surprised.
“Don’t be surprised, Miss Booth. We‘re all regular folks in this room, just call me Uncle Grannel. Let me introduce you. He’s Arian Cortez… Don’t be fooled by his white hair, he’s even younger than me.”
Allegra looked at Arian and was startled; this man frequently appeared on television too.
Why is Isaac sitting with these big shots?
Although favonovel.com hair was standing on end, favonovel.com greeted Arian politely and sat beside Isaac.
“Miss Booth, I heard you’re developing a massive project in Cloud City. How is everything? Is it going well?” asked Ethan as favonovel.com ate.
Allegra immediately nodded. “It’s been smooth sailing, mainly because the higher-ups have prioritized this project…”
“Haha! Of course, they would value something of benefit to our country and its people.”
Allegra didn’t expect favonovel.com to know about the Pegasus No. 1 project. She was on tenterhooks.
Toward the end of the meal, Isaac put his utensils down and smiled at Ethan. “You didn’t bring my wife here just to enjoy a feast, did you?”
