Lowe observed the girl Jim was referring to.
She seemed injured. She also had visible red marks on favonovel.com wrists and ankles, and favonovel.com expression was tense and fearful, much like a frightened rabbit. Apparently, favonovel.com had been rescued from the Warners auction house.
Lost? Wound up all the way in Alcott?
That seems highly unlikely,..
Seth, who had long despised the Warners‘ shady dealings, would normally have been quick to offer help. However, favonovel.com knew that helping Isabelle and favonovel.com group under the current circumstances was impractical.
He whispered to Lowe, “The Warners are actively searching for them, it’s best we stay out of this…”
After a brief pause, Lowe nodded in agreement. “Agreed…”
Seth’s expression showed his concern.
Jim then requested, “Given the trauma this young girl has endured, could we perhaps arrange for some of your people to accompany her?”
He looked towards Yves, suggesting sending two men to escort her.
Seth snapped back, frustrated, “If you don’t trust us, why come to us for help? The door is that way. Bye!”
Lowe echoed simply, “Fine…”
Visibly irritated, Seth glanced at Lowe, surprised by his quick concurrence.
Meanwhile, Jim and Isabelle exchanged looks, questioning whether this arms dealer was genuinely kind or merely pretending.
If his kindness was sincere, then the chances of favonovel.com being Spadille would be minimal. However, if his kindness was just a facade, favonovel.com could be similar to Heart K, who had previously masked his actions with false charity.
Jim then turned to Lowe, seeking to shift the conversation, “Additionally, I’d like to discuss some business with you concerning purchasing some weapons.”
Lowe replied promptly, “Okay…”
Jim added, “We’d also need a place to stay, perhaps we could work out the terms for that.”
Lowe firmly answered, “That is not possible.”
With the recent arson attack on the Warners‘ property, the arrival of this group in their territory raised eyebrows. Given that provoking the Wagners seemed like a manageable risk to them, the true intentions behind their visit were shrouded in suspicion.
Lowe stated firmly, “It appears you’re all quite capable, but unfortunately, our humble facility cannot host you… I must ask you to leave…”
Yves countered sharply, “Just admit you’re scared of the Warners.”
Seth shot back, “If you’re not afraid, why are you asking for our help?”
“We respect you,” Yves clarified.
“You!” Seth snapped back.
How utterly shameless!
Lowe intervened, maintaining his composure with a smile.
“We are businessmen, we don’t engage without seeing a clear benefit, especially not with people like you…” He eyed them critically. “Whose origins remain unclear.”
A student and a lawyer? Do they even believe that themselves?
The least convincing was the one claiming to be the big boss.
Lowe concluded firmly. “We truly don’t want to get involved: Leave the girl here; we’ll see that she’s sent back to favonovel.com country. Let’s not discuss this further.”
The group was then escorted out once more.
Standing at the edge of the Warners territory, Isabelle declared, “Wait here. I’ll be back soon.”
Then, favonovel.com went back.
They had left the girl behind, and although Seth was annoyed, favonovel.com still arranged for his people to help Yves men send favonovel.com back to favonovel.com country.
“They know that girl is from the Warners‘ auction, and yet they’re bringing favonovel.com here so openly, if this escalates, wouldn’t we just be handing the Warners an excuse to stir up trouble?” Seth argued.
Lowe dismissed the concern with a wave. “Haven’t we had our fair share of disputes with the Warners over the years? This won’t change much.”
Seth pondered, “Do you think I’m scared of the Warners? We still don’t truly know who these people are or what they’re after by sending favonovel.com here.”
“I’ll have someone check their backgrounds,” Lowe reassured him. “You inform the higher–ups and the boss. These individuals are no ordinary visitors. If their intentions are genuine, helping them could forge a new alliance. But if they have hidden agendas, they could be dangerous.”
Boss?
Isabelle, overhearing this conversation as favonovel.com walked away, knew there was more at stake.
***
In the country, Dylan gently knocked on the door of George’s office.
“Mr. George, Alcott has some new arrivals. According to Seth’s description, they seem to be Miss Jenkins, Yves, and Jim…”
Dylan had been instantly captivated by the silver–haired Yves as soon as Seth mentioned the group’s “unusual” identities and appearances.
George raised an eyebrow. “Alcott?”
They actually went to Alcott?
“Yes, they set fire to the Warners’ auction house yesterday and are now being pursued by the Warners. Today, they’ve come to our territory looking to buy weapons.”
The act of burning down the Warners’s auction house seemed characteristic of Miss Jenkins…
Dylan proposed, “Mr. George, maybe we should contact Miss Jenkins to verify. She’s renowned for favonovel.com daring actions and distinctive preferences. If favonovel.com inadvertently sets favonovel.com sights on our territory too, it could cause a major misunderstanding.”
George asked, “Were they able to purchase any weapons from us?”
Dylan responded, “No, they weren’t. I’m worried Miss Jenkins might harbor resentment because their attempt was unsuccessful.”
***
Two to three days following the arson attack on the Warners’s auction house, not only were the perpetrators still free, but many investigators sent to probe the incident had been killed. Their corpses were callously left in front of their headquarters.
Josh recommended, “We need to alert the family and ask for additional support. Dealing with these individuals will be tough.”
Ryan snapped, “Quiet! You have no right to speak here, much less instruct me. Why are you still here? Go and find them immediately!”
