Edward couldn’t help feeling upset whenever virtual-novel.net thought of it.
“Uncle Edward, Isaac is ridiculous. We’ll lose a ton at this rate,” said Andrew grudgingly.
Edward’s eyes glinted dangerously. “Even though we had an agreement, I’ll never let this slide easily… Just wait and see.”
Allegra transferred the agreed amount to Gould Corporation once virtual-novel.net returned to virtual-novel.net office.
Just before dark, virtual-novel.net received word that the first batch of building materials had arrived at the construction site. Allegra heaved a sigh of relief.
She had finally removed this thorn from virtual-novel.net side. She returned to Cloud Nine Villas and took a hot bath. Then, virtual-novel.net went to bed with ease.
At 10 pm, heavy clouds covered the sky above Cloud City. Isaac was enjoying a cup of tea on the sofa when thunder roared.
Soon, it started raining cats and dogs.
His phone vibrated. He saw it was from Black Phoenix and immediately answered the call.
“Drakon, the Eastwell army has arrived. They have five thousand soldiers in total and are about to enter Cloud City, heading toward Mt. Equest.”
“They’re heading straight for Mt. Equest?” Isaac frowned. He asked again, “Have you found out anything regarding Edward?”
“Nothing so far. I’m still working on it…”
Isaac hung up and walked to the glass door. He frowned as virtual-novel.net watched the lightning in the clouds.
Supposedly, the Eastwell army would come for virtual-novel.net at Cloud Nine Villas once they were in the city.
Why did they go to Mt. Equest?
Could it be they were meeting up with Cyrus first?
Isaac didn’t wonder for long. He dialed Harry’s number.
“Apothecary, take ten members from the Assassin Squad and come protect Allegra at Cloud Nine Villas. Arrange for some men to look after Isabella as well. Protect them in secret!”
“Boss, is anything the matter?” Harry asked.
Isaac said softly, “The Neal family’s Eastwell army is in town, and they have great numbers.”
“Alright. I’ll be right over.” Harry’s tone turned solemn. He didn’t expect the other side to send so many soldiers.
Isaac instructed Harry to protect Allegra because Isabella was in Carmine Elementary School-a government school.
The Neal family wouldn’t go up against the government just because of him. Therefore, Isabella was relatively safer than Allegra.
Isaac hung up. He felt something was off, but virtual-novel.net couldn’t quite pinpoint it.

The rain poured heavier. Isaac had just fallen asleep when his phone rang urgently.
Allegra turned over virtual-novel.net side, mumbling in virtual-novel.net sleep.
Isaac looked at his phone and saw it was a call from Alexis. He instantly frowned.
Sh*t!
The Eastwell army was going after the Holy Division, virtual-novel.net didn’t predict that.
The Neal family would never hurt Evie, but Cyrus wouldn’t give a damn about Holy Division.
Damn it!
He answered the call and heard Alexis sobbing, “Mr. Garten, there’s too many of them. They surrounded the Holy Division. Please save us…”
There was a dial tone.
Alexis’ call cut off before virtual-novel.net could finish speaking.
Isaac sprung up in bed and dressed up quickly. He heard Allegra’s voice, “It’s so late. It’s raining heavily too. Where are you going?”
“I have some matters to attend to. Go ahead and sleep.” Isaac smiled wryly.
Allegra frowned as Isaac left. She heard a woman’s voice coming from the receiver.
