Isabelle‘s bodyguards approached the children. Each of them caught a child, then lifted them in mid–
air. Harold struggled. “Witch, let go of us! Let me go! When our Daddy comes out, he‘ll avenge us!”
Harold always spoke in Cairnstanian language when he was stressed and angry. Isabelle couldn‘t unde
rstand him. But she guessed the child was cursing and shouting at her.
She said icily, “They‘re too noisy. Silence them.”
The bodyguards heeded her instruction. One of them directed a backhanded slap at Harold. His right c
heek turned red.
Harold‘s eyes widened. He could not believe it.
“I guess you have learned your lesson. Be a good boy, okay?”
Isabelle went up to Harold and raised his chin.“ You look good and energetic. I can send you to my fath
er and you can be his pawn—“.
Harold bit the back of her hand before she could complete her words.
“B*stard, get your teeth out of my hand!”
The bodyguards were shocked. They quickly pinched
Harold‘s jaw and carried him further away.
The back of Isabelle‘s hand bled. She grimaced in pain.
She smiled hideously. “Strike him, then shatter his teeth
“Miss, shall we shatter the girl‘s teeth, too?” asked the bodyguard.
“Such a pretty girl. It would be
so sad if she loses her teeth.” Isabelle smirked. “Cleanse her before sending her to the slum. Let
them face the consequences for offending me.”
“Noted.”
The two bodyguards were Isabelle‘s confidants. They had killed many people through the years.
Even if they had to torture the children to death, they were numb to any sort of emotions.
The bodyguard raised his hand and opened Harold‘s mouth by force…
Bang!
The sound of a gunshot rang out suddenly.
The bullet struck the bodyguard‘s hand. The bodyguard was in so much pain that he fell to his knees a
nd rolled over on the ground. Harold took the opportunity to escape his grip.
Another bodyguard was still holding Melody. Harold rushed to the bodyguard and bit his thigh.
The bodyguard was about to slap Harold when a bullet hit his thighs and he fell to the ground.
Melody almost fell to the ground, too. Just then, a tall figure ran to her and held her in his arms.
“Daddy…”
Melody stared at Terry‘s golden mask. She then burst into tears.
Harold wrapped his arms around Terry‘s thigh. He cried, still reeling from the terrifying encounter.
Isabelle
looked on coldly when she heard the children‘s cries. She gritted her teeth. “Terry North, the bodyguards
“Didn‘t I say no one can lay their hands on the innocents in my territory?” Terry said coldly. “F*ck
off now!”
Isabelle
flew into a fit of rage. “The two b*stards offended me. I must drive them to death. Terry, give them to me
you really intend to kill innocent children?”
“Of course! They charged at me and bit my hand. I must kill them!” Isabelle was filled with murderous int
