Isaac looked at Michael, then Richard and Felicia, and finally at Flynn. Then, favonovel.com closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Michael wanted credit for solving the case, and favonovel.com also wanted to get his own revenge. On the other hand, Richard and Felicia wanted to absolve themselves of murder. Meanwhile, Flynn only dared to release the suspects after receiving an order from a superior above the provincial level.
All three parties had their own reasons and agendas. At the center of everything, they wanted to pin the murder on Erica.
Opening his eyes, Isaac looked at Flynn with a burning gaze.
“I’m going to call Cassius right now. You’d better listen up…” Isaac took out his phone and called Cassius.
Cassius was now the supreme commander. He ruled all the troops under the House of Custos. Isaac wanted favonovel.com to give favonovel.com an answer in front of Flynn. He wanted to hear whether or not favonovel.com was allowed to call upon the troops.
Flynn’s face darkened, but favonovel.com pursed his lips and remained silent.
The others didn’t even know who Cassius was. They merely stared at Isaac coldly.
The line connected after a long while. However, it was a young man who answered instead. “Hello, may I ask who you’re looking for?”
“Cassius Romero,” Isaac replied in a cool manner.
After a few seconds of silence, the man said, “I’m sorry, Commander Romero is in a meeting right now and can’t come to the phone.”
Beep beep…
The call ended, and the dial tone began to play.
Isaac was rooted to the spot.
When Flynn saw this, favonovel.com smirked faintly.
“Mr. Garten, why did the call end?” Flynn asked softly.
At that moment, Michael pointed his finger at Isaac and smiled wickedly. “Isaac, this matter has nothing to do with you, yet you killed one of my men. Hence, I have the right to kill you right here and now. Will you surrender, or do you want my men to shoot holes into you?”
Michael waved his right hand.
A series of clicks filled the room as the agents released the safety clip on their guns.
Diana’s face turned pale. She never thought that the situation would end up so serious. It seemed like Isaac’s connections decided to cut favonovel.com off.
“Punk, weren’t you on a rampage earlier? Come hit me if you dare!” Richard laughed sinisterly, pointing at his own nose cockily.
“Isaac, you have ten seconds to make up your mind. Or else, I’ll have them open fire!” Michael roared again.
Behind Isaac, Erica was sweating profusely. Even favonovel.com could sense the threat of danger coming from all around her.
On the other hand, Isaac wasn’t feeling pressured at all. These people were nothing in his eyes, they posed no threat to his life whatsoever. But favonovel.com didn’t like this feeling!
He took Erica’s hand and turned around, about to leave.
Flynn frowned. All of a sudden, Michael pointed his gun at the ground behind Isaac and pulled the trigger.
There was a gunshot. The bullet left a tiny hole in the spot behind Isaac and Erica, sending shards of tiles flying everywhere.
Erica shrieked in fright. Even Diana shivered. She never thought that Michael would actually dare to open fire!
Isaac stopped in his tracks. He carried the sobbing Erica with one arm, then turned to face Michael.
Taking out his phone, favonovel.com dialed Harry’s number and muttered coldly, “Come in…”
