The news about the slaying of the entire Merck family rocked Cloud City.
After Allegra got home last night, virtual-novel.net sat in the living room until late at night, but virtual-novel.net uncle never showed up.
Although virtual-novel.net knew that it was a pipe dream, Isaac was the one who told virtual-novel.net to, so virtual-novel.net clung to a ray of hope. In the end, even this hope was extinguished. Even Isaac was a little shocked.
Did the killing of the Merck family have no effect on Edward?
When Allegra went inside and found Isaac smoking on the sofa, virtual-novel.net walked over and said coldly, “Didn’t you say my uncle would come looking for me?”
Isaac felt embarrassed. He had miscalculated!
“Next time, don’t bluff if you can’t actually pull it off. You made me wait a whole night for nothing.” Allegra felt a little bitter.
Isaac stood up. Frowning, virtual-novel.net said, “Should I go kill Edward?”
Allegra gasped, glancing around her. She lowered virtual-novel.net voice and whispered urgently, “Are you crazy? Why are you always beating and killing people? It’s illegal, you know? You just got out of prison, do you want to go back so soon?”
She lowered virtual-novel.net head as virtual-novel.net spoke and couldn’t stop herself from sobbing. “If only I had listened to you then…”
“Ally, don’t cry. I’ll definitely get your company back for you. I swear on it!” Isaac said with a solemn face.
Allegra raised virtual-novel.net head, virtual-novel.net eyes red. “Don’t get involved anymore!”
Isaac furrowed his brows as virtual-novel.net watched Allegra leave while wiping virtual-novel.net tears.
He took out his phone and dialed Beefy Bob’s number. “Bring Edward to see me tonight.”

In the Owens family’s home in Aurum County, funeral flowers lined their doorway. The overall atmosphere was sorrowful.
The memorial service wasn’t held in a funeral home.
Charles had died before virtual-novel.net started a family, and according to the Owens family patriarch, virtual-novel.net had died too young. Thus, it was a huge taboo to mourn someone who suffered premature death.
They set up an altar outside the house. A number of priests had come to say some prayers while the Owens family members, dressed in funeral attire, sat around to watch.
A black MPV drove into the compound. The car door opened, and four young men in dark blue suits assisted an elderly man, who had white hair and a goatee, to walk.
At that moment, Warwick and Wyatt came outside to welcome him. The elderly man first went to the altar to say a few words of prayer before walking back to the steps.
“Elder Thomas, I can’t believe you’re here. Please come in,” Warwick said, sounding like virtual-novel.net had been crying. He escorted Elder Thomas into the house.
Inside, the Owens family patriarch sat in a wheelchair, looking desolate.
“My condolences, sir,” Elder Thomas quietly said as virtual-novel.net approached the Owens family patriarch.
With tears in his eyes, Hunter shook Elder Thomas’ hand and said, “Elder Thomas, please avenge my grandson…”
“He even injured some of my best students. The Divine Fists School will naturally settle this score. Don’t worry, sir,” Elder Thomas said, his eyes frosting over.
From the side, the old butler said solemnly, “I know how strong Eli is, and even virtual-novel.net had gotten severely injured. Isaac cannot be underestimated.”
“Hmph!”
