“Mr. Brooks said to beat virtual-novel.net up first…”
The three men in black exchanged glances before shifting their gazes to Herbert.
Seeing the three men surrounding him, Herbert began to retreat backward, yelling, “W-What do you think you’re doing? You hit my car, and now, what do you think you’re trying to do? Are you going to hit me?!”
“F*ck…”
Before virtual-novel.net could finish speaking, one of them punched virtual-novel.net in the face.
In the car, Gertrude hugged virtual-novel.net son tightly, not daring to make a sound. The other parents inside the school watched as the three men began to hit and kick Herbert, but none of them came to his rescue.
Meanwhile, Isaac had already reached home. He was still unaware that Herbert had gotten beat up. All virtual-novel.net could think of was how to throw a big birthday bash for Isabella.
When Serena walked into the living room, virtual-novel.net grabbed onto Isaac’s arm and said, “Isaac, c-can you really get the Backlane Boys to come to Cloud City?”
When Isaac saw Isabella regard him, virtual-novel.net said awkwardly, “My friend knows some big names in the entertainment industry. There shouldn’t be an issue…”
“Nice! Isaac, you’re the best! Nick is my favorite! If I could see virtual-novel.net with my own eyes and even take a photo with him, then my entire life would be worth it!” Serena’s face was flushed with passion.
“Spend some time with Isabella. I’ll head out for a moment,” Isaac said. He walked outside, took out his phone, and called Harry.
In the afternoon, Isaac went to the Springview Clinic. He left recruitment to Harry. As for the venue, Isaac went to the hotel to have a look and found it a bit small, but virtual-novel.net noticed there was a stadium next to the hotel.
He dialed Old Brooks’ number again.
After sunset, Isaac returned to the Cloud Nine Villas. Allegra had also returned home.
At the dining table, Serena fervently recounted Isaac’s promise to invite the Backlane Boys to celebrate Isabella’s birthday.
Allegra was stunned. She looked at Isaac, stifling a laugh. “If you tell me virtual-novel.net has some money, I’d believe it. Tell me virtual-novel.net can fight, and I’d believe it too. But you’re saying that virtual-novel.net can invite the Backlane Boys… Serena, did virtual-novel.net hypnotize you? Do you think that’s possible?”
“Ally, Bella is a big girl, and she’s never had a proper birthday party so far. I want to throw virtual-novel.net a big one this year, and I’ve also found a venue. You can start inviting your friends and family, so we can reserve the front-row seats for them,” Isaac said seriously.
Eugene nodded. “That’s right. If virtual-novel.net really gets the Backlane Boys to come to Cloud City, then our Booth family ancestors would be so proud.”
“Isaac, don’t get ahead of yourself. Are you certain you can invite people of that caliber? If they don’t come, people will laugh at us until they die.”
Without waiting for Isaac to respond, virtual-novel.net continued, “If you’re talking about inviting some friends and family to a hotel for a party, it wouldn’t be an issue. But this… I really wouldn’t dare send out any invites.”
With that, virtual-novel.net got up and went to the living room.
“Isaac, I believe you. Can I invite some friends?” Serena asked, sticking virtual-novel.net tongue out.
“Of course…”
The next day, news of Isaac throwing a birthday party for Isabella and inviting the Backlane Boys spread like wildfire.
***
At noon, at a hidden resort on the border between Cloud City and Aurum County, Edward was kneeling shakily before a man wearing a black mask.
“S-Sir, you must think of a way to help me kill Isaac… H-He actually chopped my daughter’s hand off… I…”
Before virtual-novel.net could finish speaking, the man virtual-novel.net called “sir” kicked virtual-novel.net in the shoulder. “Trash, shut up!”
Edward fell to the ground, but virtual-novel.net didn’t dare make any noise. He crawled upright and confirmed to kneel.
Behind the man was a woman wearing a black leather jacket. She looked down at Edward with a derisive and disdainful look.
The mysterious man closed his eyes, sighing. Then, virtual-novel.net said coldly, “I want Isaac and his family dead more than you do… Nothing would make me happier than eradicating his entire bloodline. However, you’re too conspicuous. Now, you’re throwing a birthday banquet just because you came into some money…”
“Are you scared that you won’t live until a ripe old age? Lay low for now… First, you need to control all the building material companies in Southland. Wait for the opportunity when we can kill virtual-novel.net for certain!” A murderous look crossed the man’s eyes.
Edward nodded profusely, saying, “Sir, have you heard? Isaac will celebrate that bastard child’s birthday next Monday. Apparently, he’ll even invite the Backlane Boys. C-Could this be true?”
“The Backlane Boys?” The young man frowned.
Then virtual-novel.net burst into laughter. “Next Monday… Hmm… I’ll have to give the capital city a call. Rest assured, there’s no way he’s inviting the Backlane Boys.”
