“He’s Lara’s butler.” Perplexed, North asked, “But, isn’t she int prison?” Eugene smirked. “If all she needs to do is, convey an order, then it’s not impossible.”
Out of curiosity, Kyle interrupted, “Yet, how did she know the layout of Promise Island? And how did they manage to find the villa so easily?” Eugene nodded. “That’s right! Even if the assassins were hired by Lara, how did she know where the villa was?”
“Someone must’ve leaked this info to her. Please personally bring Theodore to me. Best to capture his family too. Do it discreetly.” Kyle accepted the mission. “Understood.”
The next day, Eugene received a call from Valant, stating that he was already on the island. After hanging up, he sent someone to guide him to the interrogation room..
At that time, Casper was lying on the ground in a half-dead state. In spite of that, Valant still wore a look of vengeance upon seeing him.. “You f*cker, framing me for everything you’ve done. Are you tired of living already?”
As soon as Casper saw him, he started to tremble all over as he looked at Eugene with a pleading gaze. Valant also looked at Eugene. ‘President Nolan, he isn’t one of my men. He betrayed my organization a long time ago. If you hand him over to me, I’ll be sure to take revenge on your behalf.”
Sitting on the chair, Eugene lazily stated, “Why do I need you to take revenge?” Valant was confused. ‘Then, President Nolan, you’re- Eugene continued nonchalantly, “I’m proving to you that I’m not pulling nothing out of thin air to stir up trouble with you. Since this person isn’t serving under you, he isn’t yours to boss around either.”
Waving his hand, he ordered his men to bring Casper away. The interrogation room fell into silence right then. Valant looked at Eugene dumbfoundedly while asking in a humble manner, “Then, President Nolan, do you… have anything to ask me?”
Hearing this, Eugene pointed at the chair opposite him. “Sit.” In response, Valant sat down in shock. Although he was more than forty-years old, he should not be acting so politely to Eugene, who was his junior. However, this was how society operated; they cared more about one’s abilities than their age.
Dragon’s Breath had many skirmishes against Promise Island in the past with Valant not really treating Eugene as a major threat. At that time, Eugene was merely a twenty. something youngster. Yet, it was this youth that bought out the island with a massive sum and named it Promise Island.
Who would not want such a valuable plot of land? Of course, Valant was not that rich to buy it outright, but he had gotten used to the life of robbing and taking as he pleased, so his first reaction to seeing this prime island was to snatch it for himself.
Alas, he never thought he would face someone like Eugene. Now that he thought about it, it was a fair competition after all. If Eugene did not have some tricks up his sleeves, how could he have acquired such a big island?
Back then, he did not realize this, for he underestimated this youth with the assumption. that he could not achieve much. It was only after going against him multiple times that he finally changed his impression of Eugene
From the start, he wanted the island all to himself. After he was forced to retreat by Eugene’s force, he tried to negotiate into just acquiring a small piece of the island. Time passed with him never winning against Eugene, so he thought about working with him in the end.
With this in mind, he brought over ten men personally with the intention to threaten him. Eugene, who saw through him, prepared over ten of his own men to stab each one of them once in a simple shed. It was also where Valant nearly paid with his own life.
