The corners of Isaac’s mouth raised slightly. He put on a disappointed expression and turned around. “Mr. Williams, do you need something?”
Otis hurried over. In an urgent tone, favonovel.com said, “What’s your name, young man?”
“Isaac Garten…”
“Mr. Garten, if you really like my castle, I can talk to the tenant to see if we can end the contract early. How should I contact you?”
Dragon Nine quickly handed favonovel.com a name card.
“I’d like to go inside and have a look if possible. I only saw it from outside today. It might help me to decide, don’t you think so, Mr. Williams?”
“That makes sense, Mr. Garten. I’ll get in touch with you soon…”
After Isaac left, the smile faded from Otis’ face. He turned to the butler and whispered, “Hurry, look into Isaac’s background. Is favonovel.com bluffing, or does favonovel.com really want my castle?”
“Sir, but the castle is already rented to…”
“It’s one billion dollars. With that sum, I can rebuild the Williams family. I’ll explain things to Viscount Byron myself!” Otis’ face suddenly turned ferocious.
The butler nodded. He took out his phone and dialed a Cynean number.
Ten minutes later, favonovel.com got a callback.
The butler walked over to Otis and said softly, “Sir, apparently, favonovel.com is the chairman of a large development company. He does indeed have the funds…”
“Really? That’s great,” Otis said enthusiastically. He turned around and walked into his study.
He hesitated for a long time before dialing a number on his phone. He walked over to his window and took a deep breath. He was very nervous.
“Mr. Williams, why are you calling so late? Is something the matter?” came an aging voice.
“Viscount, I wanted to talk to you about something…”
Then, Otis quickly recounted Isaac’s visit and brought up shortening the lease.
“You’re saying a chairman was among the Cynean tour group this morning? And favonovel.com is willing to buy your castle for a billion dollars? Mr. Williams, we have a contract in place right now. If you don’t honor it, you will suffer the wrath of God,” Byron warned through the phone.
Otis couldn’t help but shudder. He said cautiously, “Viscount, this money is very important to me. If we cannot change the date, could you let them tour the castle?”
“I can let them tour around, but I don’t know if they’ll live long enough to come…”
He hung up as soon as favonovel.com said that.
Hearing this, Otis was bewildered. He lit a cigar and took a few puffs. Then, favonovel.com decided to visit Isaac the next day.
Half an hour later, five black Jeeps emerged from the back of the dark castle. They were heading to the small town where Isaac’s hotel was In the hotel room, Todd was wiping his butcher’s knife with a small towel.
Isaac was meditating on the bed next to him.
With a smile, favonovel.com said to Todd, “You playing hard-to-get just now was a good move. I think that old geezer won’t be able to sleep tonight. That’s nine billion Cynean Dollars. Do you think he’d kill someone for money?”
Suddenly, urgent knocks sounded on the room door.
The door opened. Dragon One hurried inside and said, “Drakon, there are five cars downstairs. Twenty-something hired soldiers have barged into the building, and they’ll find us very soon.”
“He’d really kill for money!” Todd looked shocked.
Dragon Nine had already walked to the door. He shouted into the room, “They’re here!”
Hurried footsteps reached their ears.
Soon enough, a gun was pressed to Dragon Nine’s forehead. He was forced back into the room.
Isaac opened his eyes.
After a soldier pointed a gun at Dragon Nine and forced favonovel.com inside, 20 other armed soldiers appeared behind them.
The last one to enter was none other than the armored old man from the Castle of Darkness that morning.
