Upon hearing this, Evelyn suddenly burst into laughter. She grabbed Zachary, stood up, and pushed him towards Jonathan, saying, “Here, I’m giving him to you.”
The smugness at the corner of Isaac’s mouth suddenly froze.
The onlookers, expecting a show, were now filled with astonishment.
“Do you dare to play with me? What the hell is the grudge between us?” Zachary, covering his wounds, glared at Evelyn fiercely.
As Zachary attempted to stand, Jonathan forcefully stomped on his bleeding neck, ruthlessly grinding his face into the ground.
Isaac regained his composure upon hearing Evelyn’s laughter. He glared at her and threatened, “Young lady, you better think it through. Jonathan can leave with Zachary, but for you… It’s a different story.”
The fleeting fierceness on Isaac’s face terrified the onlookers. They knew very well that whenever Isaac showed such an expression, someone was bound to end up dead.
At this moment, the only thought in everyone’s minds was that Evelyn was impossible to walk out of here alive.
“You bitch.” Zachary, realizing he was in for a terrible fate in Jonathan’s hands, stared at Evelyn with intense hatred. “I’ll be waiting for you in hell.”
“Heh.” Evelyn chuckled, shaking her head. Before she could say anything, Jonathan suddenly increased the pressure under his foot.
“Daring to insult my master. Zachary, if you’re so eager to die, let me send you on your way.”
“Don’t kill me!” Zachary’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Evelyn, “You said she… she is…?”
Evelyn bore a resemblance to her mother. With the wind blowing through her hair, Zachary seemed to see Evelyn’s mother, and fear surged from the depths of his heart.
“It’s not… not possible. That woman died a long time ago. Do you think you can fool me by finding some random girl? Do you take me for a fool?”
“Fool?” Evelyn pinched her fingers, “Applying that term to you is an insult to fools.”
On Evelyn’s slender fingers, the ring that Jonathan had restored was now visible. Zachary opened his mouth, unable to utter a single word in terror.
Isaac was also frozen, looking at Evelyn with a complex expression for a while. The reason the underground trading market declined over the years was that the most terrifying force could only be mobilized by the owner of the trading market.
He had no regard for Jonathan alone, but if the owner of the underground trading market appeared, even ten of him wouldn’t be able to resist.
Isaac gritted his teeth, “Jonathan, take Zachary away. The grievances between us are settled from now on.”
Jonathan didn’t speak, turning his gaze toward Evelyn.
Evelyn suddenly smiled. Her lips, tinted heavily from the red wine she just drank, “Settled?”
“Heh! ” Evelyn raised her eyes, “Isaac, you were involved in that matter back then, weren’t you?”
Her voice was light, but it felt like a pair of hands from hell suddenly grabbed Isaac’s throat.
Isaac, who had witnessed numerous grand scenes, found himself unable to stand steadily.
“What… what do you want?”
“A life for a life, isn’t it fair?” Evelyn clapped her hands, “Jonathan, where are our people?”
Jonathan was so excited about revenge, shouting, “They’re all outside. Master, rest assured, not even a mosquito can fly out of Harmony Haven.”
Isaac was somewhat skeptical. He glanced at his spy by the door. Seeing the person nod with an unpleasant expression, Isaac panicked.
Observing his little movements, Evelyn sneered, “Let’s get on with it then.”
“No.” Isaac walked up to Evelyn, his expression extremely embarrassed. He ‘plopped’ down on the ground, “I really didn’t know about that matter back then. I just… just didn’t want my only brother to get into trouble, so I hid him.”
“Miss, please, I beg you, spare me…” Evelyn kicked Isaac’s face with a thud.
Isaac, ignoring the blood streaming down his nose, kept pleading, “I’m begging you. I won’t dare anymore.”
“Well, today I’m in a good mood. I’ll let you go for now.”
Evelyn walked to the door, “Jonathan, take Zachary and leave.”
“Yes.”
The group bound Zachary and threw him into the trunk, leaving swiftly.
Half an hour after Evelyn left, the room remained silent.
Isaac stood up with a blackened face, letting the nosebleed soak his shirt, his eyes containing deep-seated resentment.
“Leonard. Where are you? Are you dead?”
“Boss, I’m here,” Leonard shakily walked out, his face still carrying the lingering fear. That woman beat Zachary like that, and she didn’t spare even the boss. Such a powerful background! He couldn’t help but shudder at the thought that if she had shot him last time…
Isaac vented his frustration by kicking Leonard, “Hurry up and find a doctor for me.”
