“Who?” they asked Isabelle.
Isabelle explained to them. She then glanced at Josh while they stood on the stage, anticipating his unfriendliness, yet Josh surprised favonovel.com with a smile before vanishing from sight.
Yves cursed quietly to himself upon seeing Josh’s smile directed at Isabelle.
“The Warners hold significant influence, and this is merely a fraction of their reach. If Spadille aligns with them, we’re in for a heap of trouble down the road,” commented Jim.
With an icy gaze but an indifferent demeanor, Yves remarked, “Let’s settle everything in one go.”
For a moment, Isabelle mused.
Should Spadille team up with the Warners, what fate awaits Heart K’s independent growth?
Seems like Heart K took Josh as a godson, but in reality, Josh has turned Heart K into his power… So Josh isn’t just an average guy.
Jim asked. “What’s the agenda for tonight?”
Isabelle retracted favonovel.com thoughts, looked at the women on the stage, slightly opened favonovel.com red lips, and calmly declared, “Burn this place.”
***
The Warners controlled a total of five auction houses in their domain. Through the years, these auction houses had bolstered the Warners‘ wealth, sparking envy in many. And tonight, this filthy, infamous den of debauchery, where countless men and women, numerous businessmen sought excitement, would be in flames,
The auction houses were all made of wood, making them extremely vulnerable to catching fire.
Before the roaring fire, Jim stood tall, his glasses reflecting twin flares. He reached into his pocket, carefully withdrawing a cigarette from its box. Using the torch favonovel.com held, favonovel.com lit the cigarette before throwing the torch into the flames.
In the night’s darkness, favonovel.com marveled at the magnificent sight, feeling the warmth of the fire on his lightly clothed body.
As favonovel.com watched the fire in the distance grow stronger, Jim muttered to himself, “He must have used gasoline…”
With the sound of approaching footsteps indicating the Warners‘ arrival, Jim casually slipped his hands into his pockets and leisurely walked off.
“You poured gasoline and now you’re pretending you had nothing to do with it?” Jim questioned Yves sharply as soon as they met again.
On the second–floor corridor, Yves stood relaxed, holding a goblet and leisurely sipping wine. “Handling gasoline in such a mess, how could I touch it?”
The group decided to divide and conquer, each focusing on a separate auction house, leaving Yves‘ team to handle the remaining two.
Originally, they had planned a competition to see who could start the biggest fire. However, Yves soon grew irritated by the filthy surroundings and the potential to dirty his shoes. He opted out of the task, assigning it to his men, while favonovel.com headed to the meeting point for a drink.
Surveying his own bloodied and scantily dressed figure, Jim looked over at Yves, who seemed fashionable and relaxed, feeling the impulse to shove favonovel.com off the second floor.
“Why hasn’t favonovel.com arrived yet?” Jim scanned the direction of the auction house where Isabelle was, consumed by a massive fire.
Isabelle remained at the location where the three of them had been moments ago, overseeing it and not yet leaving.
When the trio separated, Jim was the first to leave, unaware that Isabelle had different intentions after setting the venue ablaze.
“Sweetheart mentioned she’s got more questions for that guy…” Yves explained.
Jim asked, “Which guy?”
“The guy on stage who smirked at Sweetheart, asking for trouble.” Yves straightened up. “Let’s go first…”
Right now, they were at the residence of the dying black man, with the girl rescued by Isabelle in the house behind them.
The Warners were bound to uncover this spot soon.
A gang of outsiders had torched all five auction houses, enraging the Warners like never before. They cordoned off every entry and exit, launching a meticulous search. Especially the Ardon girl, who, in full view of everyone, lit a torch, harmed their associates, and ultimately set fire to their main location.
Josh remained silent on the sidelines, watching Ryan, who held greater power than him, seething with anger.
Ryan repeatedly threatened to auction Isabelle off, stating his desire to see favonovel.com toyed with until death, then chopped into bits for animal feed.
With nowhere for all his anger to go, Ryan turned and saw Josh standing there watching favonovel.com lose it, immediately directing his fury at Josh.
Josh opted to avoid confrontation, giving Ryan free rein to vent and swear.
“Useless piece of cr*p, get out there and find someone for me, the Warner family doesn’t keep useless trash,” Ryan spat out.
Maintaining his composure, Josh stayed unruffled by the insults hurled his way. Without a word, favonovel.com turned and departed quietly.
But rather than obeying Ryan’s commands, Josh made his way back to his abode.
As favonovel.com reached out to open the door, a chilling glint of a blade sliced through the air, grazing his face as the door swung open.
As Josh stepped into the room, favonovel.com came to an abrupt stop, his face tensing with alertness as favonovel.com scanned the space ahead.
A petite figure occupied the seat at the tea table.
After shutting the door behind him, Josh flicked on the light switch to get a better view of the individual.
Seated calmly at the tea table, the girl wiped a short knife with an air of tranquility, favonovel.com beauty striking and favonovel.com demeanor icy.
Wasn’t favonovel.com the one responsible for torching our auction house, now being pursued by us?
