Chapter 129 Decisive
Draxton said, “Don’t worry”
Isabella returned to Northernville Manor, while Draxton and Silas went to investigate Carlos.
The reason Carlos was able to escape from Lucsia’s prison must be there was a spy inside.
60 miles away from Dawton City, a helicopter was waiting quietly.
On the helicopter, Ghost and Bridget, as well as a few members of Clan Mobius, were waiting quietly.
They were trying to receive Carlos here. No one had discovered them here.
At the same time, a black car without a license plate was speeding out of Dawton City and toward the
helicopter.
At the same time, the Lockwood family’s guards had also found Carlos’s whereabouts and were chasing
after him.
At the same time, Marvin and Jacob were sent to Northernville Manor.
In the hall, Isabella looked at the two of them with a cold expression.
She sat on the sofa and looked at the two people, whose hands and feet were tied, with an indifferent
and relaxed expression.
It was as if Carlos had never run away, and she was not in a hurry to obtain the secret Jacob mentioned.
“Tell me what you know, and I’ll let you go.” Isabella bent her head to rub the tea cup on the coffee table
and said nonchanty
Jacob could feel the pressure from Isabella. He frowned and said, “Bridget Riker is nothing compared to
you.
No wonder Draxton chose you.”
Isabella frowned. “Don’t talk nonsense.”
“How can I trust you?” Jacob looked at her nonchalant expression and said, “That secret is my only
protection. What if I speak out and you don’t keep your promise?”
“Carlos has escaped,” Isabella finally looked up at him and said calmly. “But he can’t get far. Draxton will
get him back.”
A glint flashed across Jacob’s eyes. Clearly, this was within his expectations.
“Draxton only has a 50% chance of capturing him. There’s also a 50% chance that he will successfully
escape.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJacob’s lips curled into a smile. “Miss Thompson, you won’t do anything to me and my master as long as
I hold off and don’t tell you this secret.”
Isabella said without hesitation, “Carlos must die.”
Her tone was flat, but Jacob was terrified because he felt a strong intent of killing in Isabella’s flat tone.
Therefore, as long as he kept that secret, Isabella would definitely not dare to do anything to him.
However, Isabella said, “You only have two choices. If you tell me the secret, I’ll let you go. Otherwise, if
you keep the secret, I’ll kill you and find it out myself. You only have ten minutes. After ten minutes,
whether you live or die depends on your choice…”
After saying that, Isabella stopped talking. Instead, she picked up her teacup and slowly drank it.
Cooper walked over with a bowl of dumplings and said, “Mrs. Lockwood, eat something. You won’t be
able to sleep if you drink too much tea at night.”
“Thank you, Cooper.” Isabella smiled and picked up the small bowl to eat slowly.
Meanwhile, Jacob’s head was covered in cold sweats.
He and Marvin exchanged glances. Neither of them could be sure that Isabella was telling the truth.
Marvin said, “Miss Thompson, are you sure you won’t kill us and will let us go if Jacob tells you the
secret?”
He tried to confirm again.
Isabella said, “Yes, I’m sure.”
Marvin and Jacob exchanged glances again.
Jacob’s expression was a little twisted. He could not determine if Isabella was telling the truth or not.
Now, whether he told it or not, their lives were at Isabella’s disposal.
If he told her, he might live. If he didn’t.
If they had known earlier, they would never provoke Isabella.
The bowl of dumplings was a very small one. In just a few minutes, Isabella finished it.
She put down the bowl, glanced at the time, and said, “Four minutes.”
Jacob and Marvin were sweating profusely.
Isabella lowered her eyes and waited quietly.
She looked a little harmless like this.
However, those who knew her well would know what kind of decisive killing intent was brewing under this
calmness.
Those who knew her knew that she kept her promises.
Jacob and Marvin had never known that time would pass so quickly. In the blink of an eye, there was
only one minute left.
Jacob’s face was pale. He stared at Isabella but did not say anything.
Isabella said, “I’m a man of my word.”
Jacob’s pupils trembled slightly. He gritted his teeth and said, “The new medicine that Carlos took out at
the election convention is just trash, His real achievement is still in Ghost’s laboratory. It’s really a
medicine that can extend one’s lifespan and rejuvenate one’s youth.
“That’s not all it does. If it works, the person who uses it will also have very scary supernatural powers,
and they’re almost there, just one last step away, which is why they’re doing everything they can to save
Carlos.
“Because only Carlos can achieve that final step.”
Isabella’s pupils constricted.
No wonder Grandmaster had told her to find that prescription.
Turned out the prescription was that scary.
If such a prescription really existed in the world, it was needless to say how much of an impact it would
have.
The key was that prescription could not fall into the hands of some ambitious people. Otherwise, the
consequences would be unimaginable.
Isabella asked some more relevant questions. Finally, she stood up and said as she walked out, “You’re
free to go now.”
Marvin and Jacob widened their eyes. They could not believe that she had really kept her promise and
let them go!
At this moment, 50 miles outside Dawton City, the black car without a license plate was stopped by a
powerful convoy.
Two members of the Lockwood family’s guards grabbed Carlos out of the car. At the same time, a
councilman of Lucsia was also captured.
As for this councilman, he had the Crawford family people.
The Crawford family held a banquet tonight and diverted everyone’s attention, and at the same time,
their people were secretly trying to send Carlos away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThinking of that, a cold smile flashed across Draxton’s face. The Crawford family was something!
Carlos was not afraid at all after being captured.
He sneered “Draxton, do you think you can kill me just because you caught me? I am not afraid to tell
you that even the leader of Lucsia dares not touch me now. Believe it or to, but as long as I keep that
secret, you can only serve me well.”
Draxton’s killing intent had just risen when Silas walked over with a serious expression.
Draxton picked up the phone. A moment later, he hung up with a solemn expression.
The call was from Admiral Sanders. He told Draxton that Carlos couldn’t be killed because he was in
control of a big, deadly secret
He had to bring Carlos back alive. In fact, Carlos might even be freed. The secret he controlled was
enough for him to keep everything and continue to enjoy the glory.
Draxton was extremely unwilling.
Carlos looked at Draxton playfully and said provocatively, “Mr. Lockwood, I heard you were ruthless and
decisive Why didn’t you kill me immediately and ask Isabella for credit?”
Draxton looked at him with a dark expression and did not speak.
Carlos was overjoyed. He smiled arrogantly and said, “Mr. Lockwood, you have to think carefully. As long
as I survive this time, the next time might be the death of Isabella!”
The veins on Draxton’s forehead bulged.
His hand was tempted, but when he thought of Admiral Sanders’s reminder, he let go helplessly.
Carlos laughed out loud.
At this moment, a silver sports car flew over like a silver meteor in the night.
At the same time, a slender and beautiful hand reached out of the car window. In that hand was a silver-
gray pistol.
That beautiful hand gently pulled the trigger.
Swoosh!
Bullets flew out.
Carlos’s arrogant laughter stopped abruptly.
At that moment, Draxton could have saved Carlos’s life, but at that moment, it was as if their minds were
connected. He seemed to feel that Isabella had come prepared and was confident.
Therefore, he quietly watched as Carlos’s brows burst into a bloody flower and he fell.
