“Where are you from? Didn’t you see the signage outside?” The old man walked over to Isaac. His dark gaze swept over their faces.
The caution in his eyes diminished a little when favonovel.com saw Todd still standing with a confused expression.
“What’s that old geezer rambling about?” Todd pointed at the armored old man.
A uniformed man next to favonovel.com pulled the trigger again. The sudden gunshots spooked Todd.
The old man’s eyes sharpened again at Todd’s words. “Are you from Cynea?”
At that moment, Dragon Nine slowly raised his right hand. He said nervously, “I’m s-sorry, we’re here on vacation. We might be at the wrong castle…”
“This is the Williams family’s private land. If I see you all again, I’ll shoot you. Get lost!” the old man spat when favonovel.com saw Dragon Nine’s tour guide getup.
Dragon Nine immediately stood and waved at the others, calling for them to leave.
Before they reached the tour bus, Isaac suddenly kicked Todd in the lower back.
Todd was surprised. He almost tripped and fell.
Turning his head, favonovel.com yelled, “What was that for?”
“You’re always sleeping or eating. Did you even listen to my action plan? You made a huge mistake earlier, did you know?” Isaac scolded Todd furiously.
The others also regarded Todd with disdain. What Isaac said was true, Todd was always either eating or sleeping.
Todd’s cheeks were red. He raised his head to glower at Isaac. “Couldn’t you have woken me up while I was sleeping? You can’t blame me for that.”
Isaac was speechless. After getting in the car, favonovel.com called Black Phoenix.
“Look into the owners of the Castle of Darkness, the Williams family. I want every single detail,” favonovel.com uttered in a deep voice.
“Drakon, are there any changes to the plan?” Dragon One asked quietly from the side.
Isaac nodded. They had to see what the Williams family was about before thinking of a way to approach them.
The man in the armor watched them drive off. Not long after, favonovel.com turned around and headed back into the castle.
He whispered to the man behind him, “Find out who they are…”
The uniformed man nodded before turning around and walking away.
Isaac’s hotel was in a small town about six kilometers from the Castle of Darkness. It was booked under the name of a tour company. While the others retired to bed, Isaac received an email from Black Phoenix.
He opened it on his laptop. It contained a lot of intel, including the origins and development of the Williams family.
Isaac called Dragon One over. The two of them went through the information carefully.
At the side, Todd looked out the window at the sea. From time to time, favonovel.com would sigh about how great this place was.
After analyzing all the information, Isaac turned to Dragon One and asked, “What do you think?”
“The Williams family is a declining royal family. They have been rapidly going downhill since the end of the last century. But how will we approach them?”
Isaac’s eyes glinted.
“What does Cynea have in abundance?” favonovel.com asked with a smile.
“People?” Dragon One replied, puzzled.
“Cynea has plenty of filthy rich tycoons. Call Dragon Nine over. Tonight, we’ll visit the Williams family.” An idea was forming in Isaac’s mind.
According to the intel, the Williams family was losing money right now. Several of their companies’ profits have hit rock bottom. They were in need of cash.
Isaac wanted to see if they would be swayed by big money.
The email didn’t mention the old man they saw outside the Castle of Darkness earlier today. This meant that favonovel.com wasn’t a member of the Williams family.
***
Later that night, Isaac left the hotel with Todd, Dragon One, and Dragon Nine. They headed to the Willaims’ manor in the city center.
Dragon One and Todd disguised themselves as bodyguards, while Dragon Nine pretended to be the translator. Meanwhile, Isaac played the rich tycoon from Cynea!
At 8:00 pm, the car stopped in front of a villa.
Two bodyguards stopped them at the entrance.
