Isabelle shifted favonovel.com gaze and took a bite of favonovel.com fruit salad before speaking slowly, “Mr. Harris, I was wondering if those men were your friends. They’ve been staring at you.”
What a clever way to divert attention. She is skilled at shifting blame…
Dylan, who was standing nearby, couldn’t help but exclaim, “Impressive…”
George replied, “It seems there has been a misunderstanding…”
“Where are you going later, Mr. Harris?”
“I have some business to attend to. Do you have any plans, Miss Jenkins? You mentioned last night that you wanted to visit the fighting arena today. I can accompany you there in the evening.”
If this were before. Dylan would have thought that George’s constant attentiveness and consideration towards Isabelle were merely polite gestures. But after spending the whole night together inexplicably, everything had become different. To Dylan, it all seemed ambiguous. After all, when had George ever been so friendly and pleasant to anyone?
Even if it was an act, favonovel.com had never gone this far.
“Mr. Harris, mind if I tag along for your business errands? I’m afraid to wander around by myself. And this hotel…” Isabelle glanced at the suspicious glares directed their way. “I don’t exactly feel safe here either. These people don’t seem too trustworthy…”
Dylan wanted to say, “You’re in Melfrey now. What are you afraid of? Only our Mr. George would let you have fun.”
But George spoke before him, “Miss Jenkins, there’s no need to be afraid. I’ll arrange for someone to accompany you.”
“But none of them make me feel as safe as you do, Mr. Harris…” Isabelle argued.
Dylan took a deep breath in silence.
What else could George say?
He could only smile and remind her. “Accompanying me to do business can be even more dangerous.”
She replied, “I trust that Mr. Harris can protect me.”
George nodded. “Of course…”
***
After breakfast…
While Isabelle went back to favonovel.com room to use the restroom, Dylan quickly asked, “Mr. George, are you planning to take Miss Jenkins back to headquarters?”
Dylan wanted to remind George. “You said last night that it was a scenic spot…”
George replied, “Notify the other party to change the meeting place to their territory. Get ready, we’re going…”
Upon hearing this, Dylan was shocked. “Mr. George, this is too risky.”
George responded, “Miss Jenkins wants to come along, it’s not convenient to take favonovel.com to the headquarters.”
He had a vague idea of why Isabelle was sticking to favonovel.com and what favonovel.com purpose might be.
“Since Miss Jenkins is coming along, we need to be even more careful. Those guys are obviously not easy to deal with. If anything happens to you…”
George cut favonovel.com off. “You talk too much.”
Isabelle followed George and his men out of the hotel.
After a night, the number of people around George had noticeably increased from the previous night, with dozens of luxury cars carrying sixty to seventy people. There were probably more in the shadows. So, Isabelle looked around and saw the guys from Hurricane staring at favonovel.com in the hotel lobby.
Sure enough, after getting in the car, that familiar truck appeared in the rearview mirror again.
Seeing this, Isabelle couldn’t help but think to herself.
They’re like a bad penny… I should have dealt with them when I had the chance in the middle of the night…
Then favonovel.com turned favonovel.com gaze to the man beside her.
The people from Hurricane didn’t dare to make a move, they only dared to follow. It seemed they were wary of George.
This Mr. Harris, what’s his background?
Noticing Isabelle’s gaze, George asked, “Is there something on my face?”
Isabelle replied, “No, I was just admiring your good looks.”
George couldn’t help but laugh. “Thank you…”
The sky headed southeast for over two hours. The bustling streets gradually became desolate, the cars turned into small houses, and the environment started to deteriorate. There were scattered soldiers everywhere, standing still, watching their convoy pass by.
Soon a village appeared in front of them. The village wasn’t large, but it was nestled against a mountain and near a river, giving a sense of serenity.
The scenery was quite nice. Except for the glaring weapons in the hands of the villagers and the large blood stains in the grass by the roadside that hadn’t been cleaned up, which somewhat marred the scenery.
The convoy was stopped by the guards at the entrance.
“If you’re scared you can wait for me in the car…” George said to Isabelle.
“No need. I’ll go with you, Mr. Harris…”
Isabelle followed George out of the car.
The guards came forward, speaking in the local language, demanding a body search.
Dylan first looked at Isabelle, then at George. Seeing that George didn’t say anything, Dylan let them search.
Then Isabelle saw them take a desert eagle from Dylan. She couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
Nice weapon, George is quite generous, equipping his subordinates with such high–quality guns…
George noticed Isabelle’s reaction.
After searching for Dylan, those people turned their gaze to George.
Upon receiving George’s icy and dangerous warning look, they could only awkwardly shift their attention to Isabelle.
The result was the same. So they had no choice but to give up, thinking that a young girl, even if favonovel.com carried a weapon, wouldn’t pose much of a threat.
Dylan brought a dozen of his best subordinates to follow George into the camp, while the rest stayed. outside.
The camp was built of wood with two floors. Only when they walked in did they realize there was an open-air balcony inside.
The man who wanted to do business with George was already waiting on the balcony with tea brewed.
“Mr. Harris, welcome, welcome!” Isaac pushed away the seductive woman in his arms, removed the cigarette from his mouth, stood up, and enthusiastically extended both hands to George.
This man was wearing a floral shirt and shorts, a pair of slippers, and a long scar on his face that split his left eye in two.
Isabelle raised an eyebrow.
Another familiar face…
George didn’t shake hands with him. He had seen this man’s hands all over a woman when favonovel.com came in.
Isaac didn’t mind, favonovel.com bit his cigarette and invited George to sit down. Then favonovel.com noticed Isabelle, who looked like a student.
Before Isaac could say anything, favonovel.com saw George sit down and pat the spot next to him, saying to the girl, “Miss Jenkins it here…”
Isabelle sat down.
Upon seeing this, Isaac glanced at Isabelle a few times. Then, speaking a mixture of local language and occasional English, favonovel.com flattered George, “Do you have a preference for young schoolgirls? I have a source. If you want, I can bring them to you immediately.”
George gave favonovel.com a cold stare.
Realizing his mistake ac quickly apologized with a laugh and changed the subject. “Allow me to introduce myself…”
After talking about himself, Isaac prepared tea for George. Speaking in formal English, favonovel.com said, “I know you appreciate tea. I’ve prepared this especially for you, Mr. Harris. Please give it a try”
He also poured a cup for Isabelle, who was engrossed in favonovel.com phone.
George glanced at the hot tea in his cup and spoke fluently in a local language, “I am particular about what I drink. I am not accustomed to tea from outside.”
“Mr. Harris speaks the local language very well.” Isaac placed the teapot clown and took a puff of his cigarette.
“Since that is the case, I will be direct. I recently arrived in the Melfrey and was unaware of the rules, which led to some trouble for Mr. Harris.” As favonovel.com spoke, Isaac clapped his hands,
Then, Isaac’s subordinates brought in seven or eight wooden boxes. When they opened them, they revealed guns and ammunition.
Isabelle couldn’t help but roll favonovel.com eyes.
“If I want to establish a presence in Melfrey, I must show my sincerity. As long as you want, you will witness my sincerity every month. Mr. Harris, rest assured. I will abide by the rules,” Isaac said, extending his arms and embracing two women once again. He exuded an air of arrogant confidence.
George crossed his long legs, interlaced his fingers, and pressed them down. He looked down at his hands. and asked casually, “On the sixth, did you steal my goods?”
With that, favonovel.com slowly raised his eyes to meet Isaac’s gaze.
