Chapter 75 Heavy Losses
The handsome young man rubbed his forehead. He was really muddle-headed from anger. He then
calmed down and took out his phone to call Isabella.
Isabella was very surprised to receive a call from Jake. As soon as the call went through, he asked,
“Jake, why are you free to call me? Are you okay?”
Jake said, “I’m fine. We’re all fine. The mission went smoothly. I called you because there was something
else.”
“What is it?” Isabella knew that things were probably not simple. Otherwise, Jake would not have called
her.
Jake said, “Someone paid us to take you out.”
At this point, Jake’s expression turned extremely ugly.
Isabella suddenly laughed. She asked with interest, “How much is my life worth?”
Jake’s face was dark. “You still have the mood to joke about this? Didn’t you hear that someone wants to
take you out?”
Isabella chuckled and said, “There are many people who want me dead. You think that I have time to
care about all of them?”
Jake was silent for a moment before saying, “Three million dollars.”
Isabella raised her eyebrows and sneered. The starting price of Mercenari Uno is two million dollars,
right? The buyer only added one million dollars. Is my life worth so little?”
“Hmph.” Jake was also a little led astray by Isabella. He said angrily, “A bunch of idiots. They’re really
looking down on us!”
Isabella could not help but laughed out loud. “Jake, then ask them to increase the price. 30 million
dollars, or the deal is off.”

laughed. “Bella, only you can be so calm. Someone just ordered a hit on you. Don’t you wanna know
who did
it?”
Isabella coughed lightly. “Seeing that they offered so little to take me out, I guess the client didn’t know
me well. The Riker family, I guess?”
“Smart! But it’s not the Riker family. It’s Carlos Orwell.” Jake sneered.
Isabella was not surprised at all. “The only people I’ve offended recently are the Riker family and
Samantha Lang Samantha Lang is nowhere near being able to contact Mercenari Uno yet, so that
leaves Bridget Riker. However, I’m not surprised that it was Carlos Orwell who did it.”
Jake’s voice turned cold. “Bella, it’s time for us to take Carlos Orwell out. All these years, he has done
many things outside that have damaged the Sanctum of Holy Doctors’s reputation, while wearing the
Sanctum of Holy Doctors’ name. He has also used this reputation to gain many benefits, and we’d have
him pay many, many times over.
“Besides, he was originally the Sanctum of Holy Doctors’s traitor. Letting him off for so many years is
already letting him off easy.”
Isabella smiled faintly. “I think so too. I met Bridget Riker before. She should have told Carlos about my
relationship with Grandmaster. I was waiting for them to make a move.”
Isabella smiled, but a trace of killing intent flashed in the depths of her beautiful, narrow eyes.
“It seems that you have long planned to attack Carlos.” Jake couldn’t help but smile happily. “I was
getting flustered for nothing. No one in this world can bully you indeed!”
Isabella narrowed her eyes and smiled. “If we don’t take out the trash now, when will we do it?”
Jake said straightforwardly, “Alright, although I’m not from the Sanctum of Holy Doctors, you’re a
member of Mercenari Uno after all. A big brother has to do his job, right? Then I’d take point for you and
teach Carlos a
small lesson first.”
The two of them were snappy people. After saying that, they hung up. Isabella couldn’t help but rubbed
her forehead and laughed softly Jake’s actions would not be just a small lesson.
A few days passed in a flash. Patriarch Riker had originally planned to go to the Lockwood family to talk
to Patriarch Lockwood and ask the man to keep an eye on the man’s juniors. Patriarch Lockwood’s
grandson had married a woman from an ordinary family, and his granddaughter had no respect for her
elders. Patriarch Riker thought that they were really getting more and more outrageous.
However, he was not in a hurry now. Marvin and Jacob both lived in the Riker family’s place and were
treated as distinguished guests. They had been waiting for news for the past few days.
“It’s been almost 10 days. Draxton and the others haven’t returned. It seems that they really won’t be
able to
return.”
Jacob took a sip of tea, which smelled very good. He narrowed his long and narrow fox-like eyes calmly,
enjoying the lingering fragrance of the tea in his mouth.
Patriarch Riker’s eyes flashed with pity. In the end, he could not help but sighed. “It’s that Draxton who’s
unlucky! If he had married Bridget properly, how could such a thing have happened?”
Bridget’s expression was complicated.
Marvin sat at the side with a smile. Hearing this, he only narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Just as they were certain Draxton wasn’t coming back, Marvin’s phone rang.
Marvin’s eyes lit up. “There’s news!”
He picked up the phone. There was a flurry of chatter on the other end.
Marvin’s expression suddenly changed.
Seeing this, Jacob couldn’t help but worry. Just as he was about to ask, his phone rang too..
An ominous feeling suddenly spread in Jacob’s heart. He picked up the phone anxiously and said,
“What’s the matter?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe person on the other end of the phone was his assistant. The assistant spoke quickly, “Mr. Kingston,
Mr. Owell was seriously injured by an assassination and was still unconscious. Please come back with
Ms. Bridget quickly. Only she can save Old Mr. Orwell now.”
Jacob was stunned for a moment before saying in disbelief, “How is this possible? Who did it?”
The assistant’s tone became complicated. “It’s Mercenari Uno.”
“What?”
Jacob couldn’t help but raised his voice. His voice was trembling.
The assistant said, “At first, we offered a price of three million dollars. Although the Mercenari Uno did
not agree immediately, they did not reject us explicitly either. But later on, for some reason, the Mercenari
Uno became very determined. They wanted us to pay 30 million dollars instead, or the deal was off, they
said.
“Not only that, they did not accept the deposit and insisted that we pay everything in one go. Although
Mr. Orwell was angry and felt that it was not worth it to spend 30 million dollars take out Isabella
Thompson, he eventually agreed to it in order to achieve his goal.
“I thought that the Mercenari Uno would agree to the deal after getting 30 million yuan, but I didn’t expect
them to kill our people and seriously injure Mr. Orwell. If Mr. Orwell didn’t have some card up his sleeve,
he might have died now.”
Jacob’s face turned completely ashen.
His eyes flashed with a sinister light as he gritted his teeth and said, “How dare Mercenari Uno tricked
us!” Bridget had also heard Jacob’s voice on the phone. At this moment, her face could not help but turn
pale. “Mercenari Uno, you piece of shit. Could it be that they received more benefits from the Lockwood
family, so they turned on us?”
Marvin’s expression was also very ugly.
Jacob asked, “What did they do?”
Marvin gritted his teeth and said, “They killed three of my most capable men and destroyed three of my
secret laboratories. I suffered heavy losses.”
