“Oh, is that Mr. Harris’s merchandise?” Isaac pretended to be surprised, then quickly apologized with a gesture of his hands.
“It seems my men have made a mistake and accidentally bumped into Mr. Harris. It’s unforgivable.”
It was clear that it was intentional, an attempt to demonstrate his power to George and the entire Melfrey, to let them know that favonovel.com was not to be underestimated.
This was Isaac’s usual tactic, and it always worked. Unfortunately, this time favonovel.com had met his match. In George’s eyes, these tactics were not threats, but a death wish.
George looked at Isaac coldly. “Return everything you took exactly as it was. If anything is missing, you will regret coming to Melfrey”
“Of course, Mr. Harris, please don’t be angry. I will personally deliver the merchandise to your doorstep as an apology, and I guarantee that everything will be returned intact. I hope you won’t hold it against me.”
Realizing that George was not someone to be trifled with, Isaac immediately turned the dozen boxes of guns and ammunition into an apology gift.
He tried to appease George. “These items are my way of apologizing to you. Later, I will…”
However, before favonovel.com could finish his sentence, favonovel.com was interrupted by the man across from him. “No need.”
“What do you mean?” Isaac’s expression froze slightly as his eyes fixed on George, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his face.
“I have no interest in these items, George said emotionlessly. “Furthermore, Melfrey does not welcome you. You have three days to pack up and leave…”
Isaac narrowed his only eye, his smile completely gone, “Is it you who don’t welcome me, or Melfrey?”
George’s lips curled into a contemptuous smile. “Melfrey is under my control, so do you think there’s a difference?”
“Mr. Harris, one should not be too arrogant. If you bite off more than you can chew, you might choke…” Isaac’s tone gradually cooled, his only eye like a snake lurking in the dark, ready to strike.
George replied, “Do you want to experience what it’s like to be defeated?”
Isaac gritted his teeth, his thin cheeks visibly twitching. He said fiercely, “Mr. Harris, you dare to come to my territory with just a few people. I thought it would be a pleasant negotiation, but it seems I underestimated your courage. But, overconfidence comes at a cost!”
As soon as Isaac finished speaking, his men tightened their grip on their guns. With a slight lift of the muzzle, George and his party could be killed on the spot.
Almost instantly, Dylan and his men fearlessly positioned themselves in front of George and Isabelle, Even without weapons, they were not lacking in courage.
The two groups were now at odds with each other.
George slightly moved his sore neck, then licked his check with his tongue. A flash of ruthlessness crossed his face, completely different from his usual gentlemanly demeanor.
His thin lips slightly parted as favonovel.com coldly warned. “Think carefully before you mess with me in Melfrey…”
The atmosphere became tense, like a tightly drawn bow, ready to snap at any moment.
In the profound silence, a young voice suddenly broke the tension, “The college entrance examination results will be out tomorrow. Remember to show me after you check.”
As the tension was broken, all eyes turned to the girl playing with favonovel.com phone on the chair.
Noticing the attention, Isabelle blinked, holding favonovel.com phone and apologized to George. “Well… The signal here is not very good…”
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, favonovel.com calmly started typing on favonovel.com phone, chatting on WhatsApp as if no one else was present.
Looking at Isabelle, who was even more relaxed than George, Dylan was speechless. Looking around, favonovel.com could see no one seemed as calm and composed as her. Dylan wondered if favonovel.com was selectively blind or if favonovel.com didn’t understand the gravity of the situation. He considered reminding favonovel.com to be more aware of favonovel.com surroundings.
“You… Remind me of someone I know…” Isaac looked at Isabelle and suddenly spoke in broken Cheshian that would make any Cheshian person cringe.
Isaac took a drag of his cigarette, his eyes filled with an indescribable mix of hatred and something else. “When I was in Southeast Ardon, there was a girl about your age, also Cheshian.”
Isabelle looked up.
Isaac smoked his cigarette, the ugly scar on his left eye twitching with his movements.
At first glance, it looked like a centipede crawling on his eyelid. Every time Isabelle saw his scar, favonovel.com wanted to laugh.
It was not just any scars, it was one inflicted by Yves. Back then in Southeast Ardon, Isaac, who still had both of his eyes, set his sights on her, claiming favonovel.com was the most beautiful woman favonovel.com had ever seen, and vowed to make favonovel.com his.
Before favonovel.com could even get angry, Yves was already furious and slashed Isaac with a swift move, splattering blood all over the place, and leaving favonovel.com in his current state.
At that time, Isaac was a dominant figure in Southeast Ardon, equivalent to the God’s Armament in Melfrey. His relationship with the local underworld was complicated, and his power was not to be underestimated. However, within a week. Yves had driven favonovel.com out of Southeast Ardon with just a few cannons.
What made Isabelle want to laugh was that Isaac, whether out of bad luck or fate with Yves, had ended up in Melfrey after leaving Southeast Ardon.
Before Isaac could regain his power, favonovel.com was shocked to find that Melfrey was Yves’s stronghold, which scared favonovel.com into fleeing overnight. Since then, Yves has become a nightmare that Isaac couldn’t escape.
Unexpectedly, three years later, Isaac made a quick comeback and even came to Melfrey.
“But you’re not as pretty as her,” Isaac said.
Isabelle raised an eyebrow slightly. “Thank you…”
This thank you left Isaac dumbfounded, wondering if his Cheshian was so bad or if the other party was hard of hearing.
Dylan’s reaction was not much better than Isaac’s thinking.
Someone insults you, and you thank him? Are you lacking in intelligence or hearing?
“You said thank me?” Isaac was utterly confused.
Isaac’s reaction, combined with his unattractive appearance, made Isabelle want to laugh even more. She could hardly suppress the corners of favonovel.com mouth, so favonovel.com said to George, “I need to use the restroom…”
Without waiting for George’s response, Isabelle stood up.
George said. “Dylan, accompany Miss Jenkins.”
Dylan replied, “Yes.”
Isaac signaled two of his men with his eyes.
But Isabelle declined, saying, “No need. I can go alone.”
Dylan furrowed his brow, feeling a bit uneasy. This was not a place where favonovel.com could act recklessly. “Miss Jenkins…”
However, before favonovel.com could say anything, George interjected, “Let favonovel.com go alone. Miss Jenkins, be careful.”
“You guys carry on. I’ll be back soon.” Isabelle waved favonovel.com hand and departed on favonovel.com own.
Naturally, Isaac couldn’t command his men to follow her. He watched as Isabelle’s figure retreated, lost in
Once outside the main camp, Isabelle leisurely strolled around as if favonovel.com were in favonovel.com backyard.
There were over a dozen wooden houses of various sizes surrounding the main camp, and nearly every house was guarded by armed men.
Isabelle’s gaze fixated on a heavily guarded wooden house. She evaded the guards‘ attention, circled to the back of the house, approached the window, lifted a corner of it, and peered inside.
The guard at the door was diligent, but favonovel.com was unaware of the presence of an additional person inside the house.
Isabelle opened one of the wooden crates. Inside, it was filled to the brim with sophisticated time bombs. The entire house was stocked with firearms and ammunition.
No wonder Isaac was so confident…
There were indeed abundant supplies. With these weapons, any mercenary corps could dominate the Melfrey.
As Isabelle gazed at the time bombs in the wooden crate, favonovel.com appeared to be contemplating something.
Suddenly, favonovel.com tilted favonovel.com head, a cunning gleam flickering in favonovel.com eyes.
