Gideon and Oberon were soaked in sweat. They’d struggled half their lives to get to where they were today. They had thought Sergeant Tarantino, who came from Peeling, would be their best way to climb the ladder.
Never in a million years did they expect the ladder to break before they managed to make their way up.
Gideon knelt on the ground and begged Isaac for forgiveness. Oberon did the same. But Isaac waved his hand impatiently.
At the side, Soren made a gesture. Several soldiers charged forward and subdued the two men. They forced them to kneel at the side.
Lefou took out his phone shakily and dialed a number.
When the call connected, favonovel.com said anxiously, “Mr. Copper, I’m afraid I need to trouble you to come to Cloud City…”
“Sergeant Tarantino, what are you saying? Didn’t we agree that you’ll take care of everything?” Ginge said in surprise.
“The… The circumstances have changed. Please come over…”
“Lefou, if you dare make me come to Cloud City, you know what’ll happen to you,” Ginge growled over the phone.
For Lefou to rush favonovel.com to Cloud City, favonovel.com knew something unexpected must’ve happened. Furthermore, Ginge already knew how powerful Isaac was. He would never go to Cloud City.
“It’s not something within your control… My apologies, Mr. Copper…”
With that, Lefou just hung up. Clearly, Ginge was still within Lefou’s control.
Terrified, Lefou stood off to the side with his head down. He didn’t dare look Isaac in the face.
***
The sky was beginning to brighten. Before the clock even hit 7:00 am, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the door.
Ginge walked in with four uniformed men circling him.
When favonovel.com got out of the car just now, he’d seen over 10,000 soldiers from the reinforcement troops standing outside. He never thought he’d ever see such a formation.
The moment Ginge saw Isaac, his expression turned wicked.
“Hello there, master of telekinesis… Who would’ve thought we’d meet again after a few days?” Isaac stood up while smiling sarcastically. He slowly approached Ginge.
“W-What… What are you doing? Garten, I’m warning you, if you dare touch me, you’ll definitely regret…”
Isaac suddenly raised his leg and kicked Ginge’s right kneecap.
Ginge’s kneecap bent backward. A wave of agony spread through his body. Ginge threw his head back and squealed like a slaughtered pig.
At the side, Gideon and Lefou couldn’t help but shudder.
“Did you think that two zombies would scare me?” Isaac asked, glaring at the screaming Ginge.
Ginge was in so much pain that his body convulsed. He took several deep breaths before turning to Lefou with a ferocious expression. “Tarantino, you’re going to hell! You know you’re going to die a miserable death!”
“Isaac, even if you kill me today, you can’t ever take the Elixir Group down. You don’t even know who you’ve pissed off!” He turned to Isaac and yelled. His features twisted into a wicked look.
“I called you here so that you’d tell me which divine being you’re working for,” Isaac said, lighting a cigarette.
Mockery tinted Ginge’s eyes. He roared sinisterly, “The Elixir Group has over a hundred stores nationwide. Over 10,000 people are working for us. What can you do to us? Also, you don’t deserve to know my boss.”
Isaac took out his phone and dialed Lupinus’ number. “Are you ready?”
“Drakon, all preparations are complete. I’ve identified all the branches in Cynea.”
Isaac glanced at the clock. It was already the start of business hours. Staring straight at Ginge, favonovel.com said coolly, “Then get to work…”
