Chapter 21
"Who... who exactly are you?" Bobby couldn't help but ask.
"This is the Mercenary King!"
Nicholas's tone was filled with respect!
Everyone showed disbelief in their eyes.
How did a former rapist suddenly become the famous Mercenary King?
Bobby, Draymond, and Bruce's legs went weak, and they knelt before Kane.
Immediately after, the two to three hundred soldiers behind Draymond all knelt down.
The scene was incredibly shocking!
"Mr. Lockwood, how should we deal with these people?"
Kane's tone was cold, "Bury them all alive!"
Bury everyone alive?
Even Nicholas shuddered.
"Kane, I'm your uncle after all!"
"Please spare us!"
Bobby and Bruce hugged Kane's legs, begging for mercy.
Kane remained unmoved, his expression cold. "Now you know to beg? Didn't you say that having power means you can do whatever you want?"
"We were wrong!"
"Kane, didn't you say that as long as we confess at your relatives' graves within a month, we'd be forgiven? We'll go right now!"
"I'll tell everything we did, every single detail!"
Even if they confessed everything, they'd at most get life imprisonment, just losing their freedom.
"You scum! Beasts! You don't deserve to confess before my relatives!"
Kane said in a deep voice, "Oh, and send their bodies to Ophelia later, and help me pass along a few words."
"Yes, sir!"
"Take them away!"
Soldiers came forward and took Bobby and the others away.
"You can go now!" Kane waved his hand.
"Yes, sir!"
Hearing Kane's command, Nicholas quickly led his people away.
They came fast and left fast.
Helicopters!
Armored vehicles! Countless soldiers receded like the tide!
"General Jackson, how should we handle this?"
In the car, a colonel asked, "We made such a big scene, all the news reporters are watching. We need to give the public an explanation."
Nicholas said in a deep voice, "No need. Completely seal off this matter!"
"Yes, sir!"
At this moment, Kane looked at Lockwood Tower with mixed emotions.
"Kane!"
Just then, a familiar woman's voice suddenly came from behind.
Kane turned around to see Isabelle standing not far behind him.
Kane gave Bayonet a look.
Bayonet tactfully slipped away.
"Isabelle, perfect timing. I got the building back!"
"Really?"
Isabelle found it hard to believe.
"I'll take you inside to see for yourself."
Kane smiled, took Isabelle's hand, and walked toward the building.
Isabelle glanced at Kane.
She had many questions in her mind.
Earlier, the area was under lockdown and Isabelle couldn't rush forward, but she saw many shocking scenes.
Nicholas and so many military officers saluting Kane!
And all those soldiers kneeling on the ground!
He was becoming more and more mysterious!
Lockwood Tower hadn't changed much from before. Even the decorations from ten years ago still looked modern.
Scarlett hurried forward, her tone filled with respect and fear. "Mr. Lockwood, welcome back!"
She had already vaguely guessed Kane's identity and was ready to butter him up.
Kane turned and said, "Isabelle, now do you believe me?"
Isabelle felt like everything was a dream, but the facts were right in front of her.
"How did you do it?"
"And why were those people kneeling to you?"
"Even those generals and colonels saluted you?"
Isabelle couldn't help but ask.
Kane took a deep breath. "I told you before, I'm actually the Mercenary King. Naturally they respect me."
"You're talking nonsense again."
Isabelle snorted, thinking Kane was making things up.
Suddenly, Isabelle's phone rang.
It was Marilyn calling.
Marilyn asked, "Isabelle, where did you go? Focus on what's important. Stop worrying about that rapist Kane!"
"Evelyn just called and said people from the government will be here soon!"
"Mom, we've found a building. I'll send you the address. Have everyone come over!"
Isabelle sent the address to Marilyn.
"I'm going to the restroom." Isabelle went to the restroom.
Scarlett adjusted her collar, revealing her cleavage, and said to Kane ingratiatingly, "Mr. Lockwood, I was wrong earlier. I hope you'll give me a chance!"
"I really value this job!"
"As long as you keep me, I'll do anything."
Scarlett was very direct, grabbing Kane's hand and placing it on her chest, her eyes seductive.
Kane immediately pulled his hand back. "I can keep you, but you'd better welcome the guests properly later. Otherwise, leave immediately!"
"Yes, sir! I'll definitely work hard!"
Scarlett said respectfully.
She quickly arranged for people to welcome the guests.
Scarlett sensed a cold aloofness from Kane that kept people at a distance. She was both frightened and found it challenging!
If she could latch onto Kane, wouldn't she become the most powerful woman in Harborview City?
She got excited!
More than ten minutes later.
Marilyn and Jason were the first to arrive at Lockwood Tower.
Evelyn, Roman, and others followed closely behind.
Marilyn was a bit surprised. "It really is Lockwood Tower? I thought we got the wrong address!"
Jason said uncertainly, "Maybe Isabelle rented an office in Lockwood Tower."
"I thought you bought a building, but you just rented an office."
"A rented office—if word gets out, government officials will think we lack the strength to take on this project!"
"If we lose this contract, can your family take responsibility?"
Evelyn was aggressive, her tone full of mockery.
Kane laughed coldly. "Who told you this building is rented? It's ours!"
"What?"
"You're saying it's yours?"
"Are you kidding?"
"Do you think you're still that powerful Kane from before?"
"Now you're just a criminal!"
Evelyn and the others didn't believe it at all and burst out laughing.
"Isabelle, is what Kane said true?" Marilyn asked urgently.
For a moment, Isabelle didn't know how to explain. She felt everything was too unreal.
Just then, the building's main doors suddenly opened.
Scarlett, leading Lockwood Tower's executives, rushed out from inside.
They came before Kane and bowed. "Mr. Lockwood, hello!"
Then they bowed to Evelyn and the others. "Welcome, everyone!"
Everyone was shocked!
Lockwood Tower really was Kane's now?
Although Isabelle knew it was true, she still felt like she was dreaming.
Evelyn's voice trembled. "This building is really yours?"
"It originally belonged to me!"
Kane smiled slightly. "What's so surprising about that?"
