Leonard left without closing the door. By now, others had noticed the commotion, first being impressed by Evelyn’s imposing demeanor, then shaking their heads in pity.
“Why did this woman have to provoke Zachary? She’s done…”
“Zachary has always been ruthless. He disappeared for over a decade, and his legend faded. This young woman probably hasn’t heard of him, no surprise.”
“Too bad, such a beautiful lady dies due to ignorance.”
“I heard that Isaac is Zachary’s elder brother. When he arrives, this woman…”
Before the conversation could continue, Leonard, who had hastily departed, returned. Following him was a man dressed in a suit but exuding a fierce aura – Isaac, the all-powerful manager of Harmony Haven known for his unhesitating acts of violence.
The onlookers who were discussing fell silent immediately. Leonard forcefully kicked open the door of the private room, “You slut, let go of Zachary now, or…”
Evelyn raised an eyebrow, picked up one piece of glass shards from the floor and hurled it towards Leonard.
The sharp cut of a high-end glass was even more razor-edged than a knife. When it touched Leonard’s face, it immediately left a gash with exposed flesh.
“You!!!” Leonard exclaimed in shock, “Fuck… My face!”
“Sir, this woman dares to act so arrogantly in front of you. She must not respect you. Kill her right now.” Leonard urged Isaac.
Zachary quickly joined in, looking towards his elder brother for help, “Bro, hurry up and kill this bitch. If you delay any longer, my blood will be drained.”
“Shut up,” Isaac glared at Zachary, “Who allowed you to come back?”
Zachary cowered instantly, “Bro, life abroad is not something a normal person can endure. I’ve endured it for over a decade. How much longer do I have to endure?” Besides, with Isaac backing him, what did he have to fear in the changed circumstances of the underground trading market?
Isaac remained calm. He casually glanced at Zachary, then took a seat nearby.
“Young lady, Harmony Haven is filled with security cameras. Even if you injure him, you won’t escape from here. Why don’t we talk instead…”
“Shut up,” Evelyn’s face was as cold as frost.
Isaac: “Young lady, I…”
Seeing that he was about to speak again, Evelyn squeezed Zachary’s other hand, instantly breaking the bone.
“Ah…”
“Still want to talk? You say one more word, and I’ll break another bone. I’d like to see how long your brother’s bones can hold up.”
Zachary, in pain and sweating profusely, begged repeatedly, “Brother, please don’t say anything. I beg you, don’t say anything.”
“Miss, what do you want? As long as you let me go, I can give you anything.” Zachary begged.
Evelyn thought seriously for a moment, “I’m afraid if I say it, you’ll regret it.”
“No. I’m a trustworthy person. Feel free to ask for anything. I promise to fulfill it.”
“Really?” Evelyn sent a message to inquire about Jonathan’s whereabouts while saying, “I don’t ask for much, just a life.”
“However… It’s your life.”
The icy killing intent in Evelyn’s eyes grew stronger.
Isaac, not believing Evelyn’s words, couldn’t help but speak, “If it’s not for money, what is your ultimate goal?”
Evelyn moved her hand to Zachary’s chest, then without hesitation, pressed down, breaking the lower edge of his ribcage.
Another scream echoed in the room.
Then she looked up, giving Isaac a warning look.
The onlookers waiting outside wondered what Evelyn had done to Zachary to elicit such horrifying screams.
“She was just arrogant for a moment. Once Isaac takes action, that woman won’t even have a chance to scream.”
“Did you hear? The guy from the underground trading market, Jonathan, seems to be looking for this woman too.”
“What’s her background? How could she provoke on both sides at the same time?”
“Isn’t that Jonathan? His face looks so unpleasant, he must be very angry.”
Jonathan walked up to the private room and kicked the door open.
When Zachary saw Jonathan, he instinctively shrank back, forgetting the pain in his neck. Isaac’s expression also turned sour.
The next moment, Isaac stood up with a smile, “Jonathan, why do you have time to visit?”
Jonathan straightforwardly said, “I’m here to kill someone.”
Compared to Evelyn’s restraint, Jonathan’s eyes were now bloodshot, in a state of uncontrollable rage.
Isaac suppressed his anger and said, “Jonathan, it’s been over ten years. Zachary has suffered a lot outside, and it’s time to move on. It’s just a woman. I have plenty of beauties here. If you want, you can take them away.”
“No need, Keep it for yourself…” Jonathan gave him a disdainful look.
Isaac’s face darkened. He glanced at Evelyn and his injured brother, then suddenly came up with a plan. He smiled and said, “Jonathan, I’ve also come to some realizations in these years.”
“If you insist on pursuing this, Zachary should indeed bear the blame. However, as you can see, Zachary is in the hands of this young lady. If you can take him away, I won’t stop you today.”
