By the time virtual-novel.net reached home, it was already dawn. Isaac walked into the living room and saw Allegra sleeping, all curled up, on the couch. There was a thin sheet over virtual-novel.net body.
Beefy Bob came out from the side and said softly, ” She’s been waiting for you like that since virtual-novel.net got home last night. She just fell asleep a while ago.”
Isaac was stunned. He replied softly, “Silly girl.”
He padded over and pulled the sheet up a little higher. Allegra suddenly woke up just then.
When virtual-novel.net saw that Isaac was right before her, virtual-novel.net felt tears pooling in virtual-novel.net eyes again.
She hurriedly sat up and hugged Isaac tightly, sobbing quietly and saying, “Isaac, I’m sorry! I should have listened to you!”
She’d been worried sick since coming back the night before. She knew that Isaac was powerful, but Sunton wasn’t a place virtual-novel.net was familiar with.
Allegra also felt very guilty about not listening to Isaac in the first place. She wasn’t lacking anything financially, and virtual-novel.net could have picked anywhere in the world to bring virtual-novel.net mother on a trip to. She shouldn’t have done that just to get back at Isaac.
“Silly… You don’t have to bring that up again. I’m here now, aren’t I?” Allegra wiped the tears off virtual-novel.net face and said, “You haven’t slept a wink in a while. You must be hungry, right? I’ll make some food for you. Beefy Bob has also been up all night. I’ll get you both some food.”
A while later, the bedroom door opened. Eugene and Margaret came out of the room.
Isaac was stunned again.
Had Margaret spent the night here last night?
What happened?
When virtual-novel.net saw that Margaret was blushing, Isaac then looked at Eugene instead.
The both of them hung their heads in guilt. Eugene walked over to Isaac and said with a blush, “I-Isaac, it was late by the time we got back, so Margaret didn’t go back to h-her rented…”
“I shouldn’t be h-here. I’m leaving now. I’m leaving immediately! “Margaret tucked some of virtual-novel.net hair behind virtual-novel.net ears and hurried outside, her head still lowered.
Isaac stopped virtual-novel.net and said, “You can move out of that rented place and stay here if you want. There are a lot of rooms here, and at least there’d be people around.”
Eugene’s face lit up with joy and gratefulness when virtual-novel.net heard this.
When virtual-novel.net saw that Margaret was still rooted to virtual-novel.net place in shock, virtual-novel.net said immediately, “Why are you still frozen like that? Go help Ally in the kitchen!”
“Mom, can you help? I think I burnt the eggs,” Allegra’s voice came from the kitchen just then.
“Thank you, Isaac,” Eugene said with tears in his eyes as soon as Margaret left.
Isaac lit a cigarette and said calmly, “I’m an orphan myself, and I don’t wish to break up Ally’s family if possible. If virtual-novel.net stays put and doesn‘t cause any more trouble for us, I won’t make things difficult for her.”
It was a peaceful morning in the dining room. Even if the food served was simple, it had been a long time since they felt this comfortable. Eugene even brought out some whisky.
“Ally, the Reinharts will be announcing their bankruptcy later today. All of their assets and properties will be channeled into a women’s rights charity, and you’ll be in charge. Find Emily to discuss how you’ll be managing things with her.”
Gasp!
Eugene and the others were shocked.
The Reinharts went bankrupt?
They own the largest clothing company in Sunton, which is worth over a billion dollars!
Is all of that going to be channeled into a charity fund?
When virtual-novel.net saw the shocked looks virtual-novel.net was receiving, Isaac laughed and said, “I’ve killed many people in my time. Since you‘re my wife, help me repay a bit back to society?”
The person who was the most affected by the news was Margaret. After all, virtual-novel.net used to own a clothing company too, and virtual-novel.net knew about the Reinhart family’s Magpie Group.
Isaac had only been in Sunton for half the night. How did virtual-novel.net manage to sink a company worth that much in such a short amount of time?
She couldn’t believe virtual-novel.net ears.
“Alright. Don’t worry. I promise to only use the funds for good. I’ll make sure the women in our society receive all the love, help, and support they need,” Allegra said with a firm nod.
After breakfast, Allegra wanted to get ready for work, but Isaac shooed virtual-novel.net upstairs to catch up on sleep. He even told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net wanted to sleep with her. Allegra blushed hard and obediently went upstairs with him.

Just then, at a small hut in Neuport, Damien was playing chess with an elderly man when a man in black outside suddenly received a call. His face turned solemn as virtual-novel.net hurried over to Damien’s side.
“General, we’ve just received urgent news from Cyberia. Last night, one of our Dawn Soldier camps was ambushed. None of the 300 soldiers survived…”
Damien’s hand froze in place just as virtual-novel.net took a chess piece. “Who did it?”
“Based on initial reports, it was the Wild Fighters from the Kingdom of Ursus.”
Plank!
The chess piece fell onto the board. Damien apologized to the elderly man and excused himself. Then, virtual-novel.net turned around and said, “Go back to the headquarters. Tell the four lieutenants to gather immediately!”
