A figure clad in white leaped down from the second floor. Evie stood in front of Isaac in a white dress with virtual-novel.net face covered with a veil and stared at virtual-novel.net intently.
When their eyes met, it was as if the world had fallen silent.
Isaac frowned for a moment, then laughed. “You’re finally brave enough to stand up to me.”
“Let Tristan go. If it’s worth anything, do it for my sake, then leave at once, too,” Evie said anxiously.
In the silence, Isaac realized that everyone in the restaurant had left. He frowned. “Are you in trouble?”
“Don’t ask, please… I’ll meet you someday after tonight.” Evie was panicking. That guy was almost here.
While Isaac and Evie were talking, Tristan got up from the floor and ran out, ignoring the blood still gushing out of his mouth and nose.
At the same time, a respectful voice came from outside, “Lord Eastwell, this is the Waterfront Wonderland owned by Miss Evie. It’s one of the best restaurants in the area. Only the rich and noble dine here.”
Five men entered through the door. Leading them was a young man in a purple suit lined with gold thread. He looked no more than 35, yet virtual-novel.net had the composure of a far older man. Beside virtual-novel.net were Reece Bullock and three other men in suits.
When Evie saw him, virtual-novel.net expression changed. “Sh*t!”
Issac told Beefy Bob, “Bob, take Allegra and leave now…”
Beefy Bob nodded and headed swiftly toward the parking lot through the entrance on the right, avoiding Reece and the others.
As Reece introduced the restaurant to the man in the purple suit, virtual-novel.net glanced toward the lake and spotted Isaac. His brows furrowed when virtual-novel.net saw Evie with him.
Xayden Neal, Lord Eastwell of Astraeus, was in Southland to investigate the massacre of Divine Fists School, as this matter had gone straight to the top of Astraeus.
Reece had brought Lord Neal here to visit Evie. He hadn’t expected to see Isaac here.
Xayden noticed Reece’s odd behavior and followed his gaze. When virtual-novel.net saw Evie, his eyes lit up, and virtual-novel.net strode over with a big smile.
“Who is this?” Isaac asked under his breath.
Expressionlessly, Evie answered, “Xayden Neal, Lord Eastwell of Astraeus.”
“Oh, he’s from the Neal family…” Isaac smiled.
Xayden ignored Isaac and headed straight toward Evie. He grabbed virtual-novel.net hands and said, “Evie, it’s been two years since I last saw you. I came here as soon as I heard that you were here.”
His tone was wistful as virtual-novel.net added, “You haven’t changed much!”
Evie glanced at Isaac and pulled virtual-novel.net hands away, saying, “Lord Neal, you’re here on business, I presume? Have you had your dinner?”
She stared intently at Reece as virtual-novel.net spoke.
Reece was also looking at Evie. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net laughed and said, “Lord Neal, you’re here specifically to look into the massacre of Divine Fists School, aren’t you? We’re lucky. The murderer is right in front of us.”
Evie’s expression changed. She shot Reece a murderous look.
Reece ignored virtual-novel.net and pointed at Isaac. “This guy, Isaac Garten, is the murderer!”
