Hugging Kai in his arms, Barry’s eyes reddened. He immediately pulled his son over to kneel in front of Harry.
“You’re a savior. You really are our family’s savior. Thank you!”
When Barry’s parents saw this, tears also spilled down their faces. They were also about to kneel in gratitude in front of Harry.
Harry’s heart jumped. He quickly helped Barry and the others to their feet and laughed. “Barry, you don’t have to thank me. If you want to thank someone, it’s that man sitting right there. I only came because virtual-novel.net asked me to…”
“Alright, Barry, you don’t need to be so formal. It’s getting late, and we should get going.” Isaac smiled, walking to the door.
Barry gripped Isaac’s hand tightly, sobbing.
“Hey, you’re a man… Act like one. Why are you crying all of a sudden? Spend some days at home while Kai recovers. Then, you can come over to Cloud City and visit me.”
“I know that Allegra and virtual-novel.net father are leaving the hospital today. You should go first. I’ll bring Kai to see you again in a few days.” Barry wiped his tears and broke into a smile.
Last night, virtual-novel.net and Isaac had talked a lot. He’d somewhat guessed what happened between virtual-novel.net and Allegra. Still, virtual-novel.net didn’t expect that Allegra still refused to believe that Isaac had returned.
As Isaac sped home, startling news broke out in Cloud City, quickly spreading to every city in Southland.
A mysterious person was paying for evidence of the Kenne family’s crimes at a rate starting at 10 thousand dollars. The rate could reach a million dollars if it were a serious crime.
“A call for evidence of the Kenne family’s crimes? The reward goes up to a million dollars. Is some big shot trying to take down the Kenne family?”
When Emily, who was seated in the passenger’s seat, saw the news on Instagram, virtual-novel.net eyes widened.
“You saw that too?” Isaac asked, smiling as virtual-novel.net drove.
Emily frowned and said, “One of my friends’ houses got torn down last year, but his compensation was hundreds of thousands of dollars less than the market standard. His parents even got beaten up. Later, virtual-novel.net heard that the person behind the company who did the demolition was Horace Kenne. No, I must give my friend a call. He should have evidence on hand.”
She waved virtual-novel.net fists, furious.
Isaac was stunned. He didn’t expect something like this to have happened so close to him. There were probably more cases like this all over Southland.
If this news had reached Emily, the Kenne family must already know as well.

On the top floor of the office of a real estate company in Aurum Company, Horace punched a cigar between his fingers as virtual-novel.net spoke into the phone.
A bespectacled young man suddenly burst inside in a panic.
“What has you all panicked?” Horace asked after virtual-novel.net hung up the phone, glaring.
“Mr. Kenne, there are many people outside reporting us,” his assistant said, sweating profusely.
“Reporting us? Explain yourself.” Horace had been busy with the Pegasus No. 1 Project with the Martin family over the past two days.
He knew the Reddar Corporation’s power, and virtual-novel.net understood the Martin family’s power even better. They practically resided in heaven in terms of power. Hence, he’d been so occupied that virtual-novel.net hadn’t heard much news from outside.
After hearing his assistant explain, virtual-novel.net understood this was Isaac’s doing.
When virtual-novel.net thought about his brother watching their home, a look of contempt crossed his face. He snorted coldly and said, “What are you afraid of? So what if they gather evidence? But wait, where did you say the news came from?”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, his eyes turned gloomy.
The assistant answered, “It came from Devon Brooks’ people in Cloud City.”
Horace slammed his fist into the table and said coldly, “This Devon really thinks he’s taken over Cloud City. With Isaac backing him, virtual-novel.net thinks virtual-novel.net can do anything. Inform all the heads that we’re having a meeting here in two hours. Tonight, we eliminate this underling of Isaac’s!”
