Chapter 764

In two days, the chaotic Hestia Border settled down. The quieter it was, the more anxious people felt.
There were hardly any pedestrians in the streets.

The sun shone brightly, and the people set up patrol by the Soux River inside Hestia Border.

Terry stood on the riverside .

A golden mask covered his face, and his cloak rustled in the wind.

It all made him seem very imposing.

Beside him were Elder Maurice and Elder Dorien, all tied up.

The two of them had been tortured in prison for five days, and they had long lost their initial edge.

Louis walked to him from the roadside to report.

"Boss, Isabelle is approaching with company.” Dozens of military vehicles slowly arrived, stirring up a
cloud of dust.

In the frontmost vehicle sat Isabelle .

She pushed open the door and set her black leather shoe-clad feet on the ground.

She touched the gun holstered at her lower back.

She sneered inwardly, but when she looked up, all her mirth disappeared when he saw Elder Maurice
heavily injured.

She suppressed her anger and slowly walked to the edge of the Soux River.



Trailing behind her were over two hundred armed soldiers in military uniforms.

Duke had met many of these people before.

During the military department meeting, several of them had expressed their gratitude towards him.

But these people were Elder Maurice’s confidants.

He chuckled.

"Miss Isabelle, have your people turn in their weapons, if you please.” Isabelle raised her hand and
made a gesture.

Everyone behind her threw their weapons onto the ground with a dull thud.

Louis walked over with four guards and seized all the guns.

When all the guns had been taken away, Isabelle coldly said, “Will you release my father now?” “Let
your people come herefirst.” Duke wagged his finger.

"Don't even try to tell me about your demands, you are in no position to do so.” He pointedlyglanced at
Elder Maurice.

Elder Maurice wanted to stubbornly order his daughter to do no such thing but when he remembered
his painful experiences in prison, he could not utter a word.

He would wait until he regained his freedom.

He would then regroup with his subordinates and kill Terry when the man least expected it! The
subordinatesIsabelle had brought with her walked towards Duke in an orderly manner and were
detained by his soldiers.



“Now you may go.” Duke shoved Elder Maurice forward.

Elder Maurice still had his hands tied behind him, thus he ran with an unsteady gait towards Isabelle.

Elder Dorien became agitated.

“Miss Isabelle, please help me too!” He took a step forward and wanted to rush to them but…

Ka-chak! Ka-chak! The sound of gun triggers being hooked reverberated.

Elder Maurice's troops, who had initially surrendered, suddenly pulled out pistols from their ankles or
from behind their waists.

More than two hundred people, each holding a gun, aimed their weapons at Duke’s subordinates.

The frontmost officer pressed his gun against Duke’s temple.

“Hahaha!” Elder Maurice laughed.

“Good work, Belle! You've proven yourself to be worthy, my daughter!” He had really underestimated
her.

He had accepted that she would silently hand over his men to his enemy.

But it turned out she still had an ace up her sleeve! “I didn’t let you down, father.”Isabelle smiled as she
walked to him.

"Are you surprised, Terry?" Duke's face did not show any change in his emotions.“ Was it your plan to
pretend to surrender when you in fact intended tocapture me alive , Miss Isabelle ?” he asked
indifferently.
