With eager hands, Jack clutched the steering wheel. “I’ve been tracking this car since its debut. Only six exist worldwide…”
Isabelle inquired, “Do you fancy it?”
Jack responded, “Who wouldn’t fancy such a car?”
Offering, Isabelle said, “It’s yours.”
Jack declined, shaking his head. “No, thank you…”
“Why?”
“I can’t drive it in Melfrey,” Jack prioritised practicality over mere preference. “And White Owl mentioned a saying in your country that a gentleman shouldn’t take another’s car.”
Isabelle frowned, feeling puzzled. “There’s no such saying.”
Jack insisted, “There is… White Owl mentioned it.”
Isabelle clarified. “That saying pertains to not taking someone’s beloved, not a car.”
Jack pondered. “Isn’t that beloved referring to the car?”
“You seem to grasp it quite well,” Isabelle remarked, glancing at Jack.
“Let me show you my school,” Isabelle suggested.
Isabelle drove towards favonovel.com school, intending to show Jack around, but when they were near the school, seven or eight cars rushed out from an intersection.
Jack swiftly maneuvered the steering wheel. “Are these Dark Shadow’s people?*
Isabelle stayed composed. “Dark Shadow is an assassin group, not a lame club. When have you seen assassins dispatching so many people to hunt on the streets?*
“Turn and park ahead,” Isabelle directed.
Their adversaries anticipated a life-and-death pursuit and didn’t block their path initially. They were accelerating and planning their route. When they turned around, though, they saw the sports car waiting there.
Gradually, the seven or eight cars encircled them, while twenty to thirty bodyguards formed a ring. trapping them. They actually pursued them to the school gate.
A man, resembling an assistant, smirked inwardly as favonovel.com glanced at the school gate.
Do they really think they’ll be safe if they hide in the school?
Approaching the car, favonovel.com gazed at Jack. “We meet again. Come along, and behave. Don’t try any tricks!”
“It’s fine, isn’t it?” Isabelle said.
Jack replied, “Isn’t it still broken? Why are there students? Are you really just studying in school?”
Jack gave Isabelle a suspicious glance.
Isabelle looked at favonovel.com puzzledly. “What do you mean?”
Inside the car, the two chatted as if they were alone, completely ignoring the assistant and the group of bodyguards, paying no attention to their threats.
The gatekeeper stayed hidden in the security booth, too afraid to come out and check.
“What’s happening?” favonovel.com asked as favonovel.com called out to his colleagues.
The noise drew several students, who began to approach. When they spotted Yves’s sports car, the girls got excited, thinking the charming silver–haired guy had returned.
The assistant, ignored and angered, opened his jacket, revealing the weapon at his waist, and menacingly ordered the two. “If you value your lives, get out of the car and come with us!”
But the threat didn’t intimidate them in the slightest.
Jack recognized the assistant, favonovel.com had kicked the other party at the hotel before, causing no serious harm, yet here favonovel.com was, back on his feet.
“Is that old troublemaker still kicking? And favonovel.com even sent you?” Jack asked seriously.
“How dare you joke in the face of death! Do you know who you’ve ticked off? Enough talk. You should count yourself lucky that Mr. Redding has taken notice of you. If you’re wise, stick with Mr. Redding, and you’ll live the good life. But if you’re foolish, you’ll suffer. The assistant spoke smoothly, as if favonovel.com had done this many times before.
When Jack heard this, memories of Frank’s creepy behavior flooded his mind, and his expression turned cold in an instant.
Without a word, favonovel.com opened the car door and stepped out.
Several students were stopped by security at the school gate.
“Looks like it’s not the silver–haired guy, it’s some foreign dude.”
Seeing Jack’s imposing presence, the assistant felt a pang of fear and instinctively stepped back, but Jack was too quick for him.
Jack slammed the car door shut and threw a punch without a word, knocking the man down, bloodied teeth flying.
As nearby bodyguards rushed forward, the assistant struggled on the ground, trying to retreat, and ordered the bodyguards to seize Jack.
“Gosh, why are they fighting? What’s going on? Should we call the cops?” Several students recoiled in fear, debating whether to call for help.
Jack had already taken down several bodyguards with just a few punches and kicks. “You guys are no match for me.”
Jack flexed his muscles, ready to deal with these troublesome foes.
Meanwhile, the opposing bodyguards still underestimated Jack’s abilities, relying on their numbers and eager for a fight. Two of them, cager and nearby, were the first to charge forward.
Isabelle was about to call Jack back, considering a change of location.
Suddenly, someone called out to her. “Boss? Boss!”
Danny emerged from the school. When favonovel.com spotted the coveted sports car outside, favonovel.com ignored the security’s warnings and ran over.
Isabelle turned favonovel.com head and saw Danny outside the car window.
“Boss, what’s happening here? Are you recruiting?” Danny glanced at the bodyguards and the ones lying on the ground.
