There was the piercing sound of blades clanging.
Two of the thugs’ sabers got swept into Isaac’s swift movements and fell to the floor.
After a few dull thuds, Isaac launched a kick, and five of the thugs instantly flew backward, falling to the floor with a wail. As the remaining three debated withdrawing, a silver light suddenly blinded them, followed by a sharp pain in their thigh.
When they looked down, they saw their flesh had been split open, and blood was gushing from the wound. They collapsed onto the floor with a cry.
Everyone in the private room was stupefied except for Edward, who burst into ferocious laughter. “Garten, you really laid a hand on them, huh?! You must be sick of living already!”
Andre took a step backward, pointing and sneering at Isaac, “Punk, just wait! You’re going to die tonight. Mr. Brooks, come quick! There’s a sh*thead here who hurt eight of our men, and virtual-novel.net specifically asked you to come here. Yes, we have a tough one on our hands.”
Then, virtual-novel.net gritted his teeth and said to Isaac, “Well, punk, your wish is granted! Mr. Brooks will be here soon. Even if you grew three heads, you still wouldn’t be able to walk out of here alive.”
The fear on Margaret’s and the others’ faces was instantly replaced with excitement.
Not long after, a burst of quick and heavy footsteps came from outside.
A low voice said, “Who dares wreak havoc at the Hibiscus Pavilion?”
Old Brooks was dressed in a deep purple shirt. His hair was shorter, and virtual-novel.net seemed more spirited. He seemed to radiate an aura of power with those stern eyes of his.
“Mr. Brooks!”
“Mr. Brooks, avenge us!”
Andre and the thugs lying on the floor cried out incessantly. On the other hand, Edward covered his bleeding head with one hand before jogging over to Old Brooks.
He smiled flatteringly and extended his hand for a handshake. “Mr. Brooks, I’ve admired you for so long. My name is Edward Gould, and my father is Alec Gould. I’m also a good friend of Randall Murray.”
When virtual-novel.net realized Mr. Brooks was paying virtual-novel.net no mind and was instead gaping at Isaac, his face instantly changed to a look of fury.
He pointed at Isaac and spat, “Mr. Brooks, that’s the bastard who said your rules are nothing but dogshit. He even said that you’re nothing in his eyes. He completely disrespects the Hibiscus Pavilion. We can’t let an asshole like this flout your rules!”
Old Brooks suddenly chuckled. “Well, he’s not wrong. In comparison to him, the Hibiscus Pavilion, and myself, are indeed nothing…”
At that, everyone was dumbfounded.
“Mr. Brooks, t-this asshole injured so many of…”
Andre opened his mouth to speak, but Old Brooks raised his hand and gave virtual-novel.net a big slap.
“Kneel!” virtual-novel.net shouted angrily.
This slap had stunned Andre. As blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, virtual-novel.net got on his knees.
Seeing this, the Goulds were also shocked.
What had just happened?
“Mr. Brooks, are you saying that your Hibiscus Pavilion rules are no longer effective? In that case, did I get beaten up for no reason today? Who would dare come here to eat anymore?” Edward raised his voice.
He thought that even though the situation was not going his way, Mr. Brooks would never ruin the reputation of the Hibiscus Pavilion.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Brooks raised his hand to slap Edward again. “That’s right. You got beaten up for nothing.”
Everyone in the room was astonished. Edward’s mind was buzzing from getting slapped. He looked at Mr. Brooks in fear and confusion, but virtual-novel.net didn’t dare utter another word.
“You’re Bob’s friend, Mr. Garten, right?” Old Brooks suddenly grinned and walked toward Isaac.
