Isaac didn’t speak loudly, but every word hammered into Gregory’s heart like iron nails. He wet his pants as his body shook uncontrollably.
All his courage from earlier had evaporated.
He nodded frantically, speaking hoarsely, “L-Let me make a phone call to r-release her…”
Isaac could confirm two things as of now.
First of all, Isabella had been taken for no longer than ten minutes, so there was no way virtual-novel.net had left the hotel premise already. Secondly, Gregory simply aimed to make virtual-novel.net yield, so virtual-novel.net definitely did not contract a killer. Furthermore, Gregory must value his life more than Isabella’s.
Isaac loosened his right hand a bit. Gregory gasped a few times before taking out his phone to make a call.
A dignified roar came from the entrance of the field then. “Isaac, if you dare hurt my son in any way, the Merck family will never forgive you!”
Edward trembled when virtual-novel.net heard this voice, and virtual-novel.net turned toward the entrance like everyone else.
Allen, dressed in blue casual clothes, entered with a glacial expression. Behind him, 20 bodyguards in black trailed after virtual-novel.net in two rows.
Beefy Bob turned around to block Allen, but before that, virtual-novel.net glanced up at Isaac.
Seeing Isaac shake his head, virtual-novel.net immediately stepped aside, allowing Allen and his large gang to storm in aggressively.
When the audience saw the head of the Merck family, their faces were colored with shock and tension. They were in for a good show today!
When the Gould family saw Allen walking in, their hearts were caught in their throats.
Edward swallowed with difficulty. He turned around to give Allen an explanation, but Alec stopped him.
“Now that Allen is here, this matter has nothing to do with us anymore. Don’t complicate things!” Alec’s words shocked Edward awake, and virtual-novel.net quickly nodded and stepped back.
Allen’s face turned ashen when virtual-novel.net saw Isaac strangling his son on stage. He raised his hand, and the 20 bodyguards behind virtual-novel.net immediately split into two groups.
One group surrounded the stage, while the other group stood around the entrance near Beefy Bob to block the exit. They were clearly not going to let a single person out of there!
“Punk, I’ve looked into your background. How dare you lay your dirty hands on my son? I’ll give you one minute to let virtual-novel.net go, or else you will regret this for the rest of your life!” As the head of one of Cloud City’s three biggest families,” virtual-novel.net emanated a peerless aura.
The entire field fell silent at those words; only their rapid breathing could be heard.
Isaac stared Allen in the eye and snorted, “Your son asked for his own death. From the looks of it, you, as his father, cannot be absolved of the blame either. In my life, I only regret one thing, and I will never live to regret anything else, not now and not ever! Also, I hate it when people threaten me…”
He tightened his grip around Gregory’s neck and slowly lifted his body off the floor as virtual-novel.net spoke.
Allen no longer cared about his reputation when virtual-novel.net saw this sight.
He raised his hand and shouted, “Wait, where’s the girl? F*cking find virtual-novel.net now! Isaac, the girl will be here any moment now. Hold on! Don’t be rash.”
Simultaneously, virtual-novel.net sprinted toward the front.
Everyone was scared out of their wits then. Mr. Merck Jr.’s life was hanging by a thread in someone’s hands, this was something that had never happened in Cloud City in the past ten years.
“Mom!” A girl’s cries were heard from the right.
Crying, Isabella ran toward Allegra, who had collapsed among the crowd.
Isaac let out a sigh of relief upon seeing the mother and daughter embracing. By then, Allen had already reached the front of the stage.
Gregory’s face was already reddish purple, and virtual-novel.net looked to be on death’s door.
“Isaac, the hostage has been released. I’m begging you. Please let go of my son!” Allen clasped his hands together and begged Isaac.
From the stage, Isaac looked down at the begging Allen and snorted. His right hand relaxed, and Gregory fell with a thud.
When everyone saw this, they all assumed that Isaac had been intimidated by Allen and finally decided to let go of Gregory.
