Chapter 48: Brother-in-Law to the Rescue
"Damn it, what I want is this island, not just those supplies. Since you don't appreciate my kindness, don't blame me for not being polite! Now that you're struggling to survive, are you still thinking about that kid? Is he your lover? After I deal with you all, I'll come back and butcher that kid!"
"Isaac, that's not satisfying enough. Why don't you just take care of Fiona in front of that kid, Gabriel..." Henry smirked, his eyebrows wiggling suggestively.
Isaac gave him a strange look.
Ever since his threesome with Emily, it seemed like Henry had developed some peculiar preferences.
He patted Henry's shoulder. "My brother, that's a good suggestion. What do you think, Miss Fiona?"
The women in the hotel remained calm, unmoved by his tactics.
"Mr. Isaac doesn't need to provoke me with these tricks! As I've said before, this island is mine. I appreciate Mr. Isaac's help in clearing the zombies. If Mr.
Isaac needs anything, he can take it himself as our thanks! But if Mr. Isaac is not satisfied and wants to resort to violence, remember, our knives aren't just for show! Although we may be weaker, the four of us together can surely cause you some harm!"
"Is that so? You know nothing about my power. I'd like to see how you can harm me!"
Isaac grinned menacingly, his face twisted with malice as he prepared to act.
His patience had run out, and if these four women inside wouldn't submit, he might as well kill them.
But just then, the women's faces inside the hotel suddenly changed, briefly showing rare anxiety before quickly concealing it.
Isaac's heart skipped a beat as he looked behind him, only to see Gabriel finally arriving, staggering towards them.
"Damn it! How did you get out? Emily? Did you let him out?"
Isaac grabbed Emily and pulled her close, tearing her clothes in the process due to his forcefulness.
Emily was startled and saw Gabriel, feeling a bit panicked.
"Isaac, it wasn't me!"
"If it wasn't you, then who the hell was it?"
Isaac shoved her aside.
"Henry, keep an eye on her. I'll deal with her later! Perfect timing, this little white-faced one is here! Fiona, won't you save him?"
Isaac said as he moved to grab Gabriel.
Gabriel, however, seemed oblivious to them, instead looking around as if searching for something.
When he saw Isaac approaching with a knife, he panicked and cried out, "Big brother, brother-in-law, help me!"
Inside the hotel, Fiona's eyebrows twitched.
She really didn't want to deal with this idiot cousin.
But then, she was shocked by what happened next.
Suddenly, two figures emerged from the shadows beside the hotel entrance.
They appeared out of nowhere, without any warning!
The area had been empty just moments ago!
"Power users? Invisibility? Two people?"
She instinctively glanced at Hannah nearby.
Hannah's refusal to yield to Isaac and become his woman, as well as her awakening to a strange ability, were reasons why Fiona admired her.
This was her greatest trump card!
"Hey, what are you shouting about? We were enjoying the show, and you ruined it!"
Daisy huffed, completely making it up.
After all, Gabriel's nonsensical shouting had disrupted their plans.
"Daisy, sis..."
Gabriel chuckled awkwardly and hid behind Elijah and the other man. Isaac also halted his steps.
"Invisibility?"
But then he was drawn to the attire and weapons of the two newcomers.
Black bulletproof vests, tactical belts, handguns... The complete set of police equipment sent a chill down his spine.
These two individuals clearly weren't police officers; firstly, their demeanor didn't match, and secondly, where in the police force would you find such young and beautiful women?
But the fact that they had this equipment indicated they had been inside the police station.
Considering that zombies were everywhere outside, especially on the coastal roads, and the city area was even more densely populated, it took courage to roam around in such conditions.
Perhaps they relied on that suspected "invisibility" ability, but it also showed that these two had quite the nerve.
Especially since they were also carrying cold weapons.
The man held a two-meter-long steel spear, which gleamed menacingly in the sunlight.
The woman carried a Tang sword, though not visibly, it was likely a very sharp weapon. Unmatched in strength!
But it was worth a try to sway them! Isaac quickly flashed through these thoughts.
"When did you two arrive?"
"A little later than you!"
Elijah smiled faintly.
"Oh, then you should understand that this is an internal matter of our Azure Isle. Since you've been watching the show for a while, I hope you'll continue to stand by. After it's over, I'll definitely express my gratitude!"
Isaac's mind raced as he decided to temporarily stabilize them.
If they agreed, he could deal with them later.
This girl wasn't any less attractive than Fiona; she just had the advantage of youth.
"Who said this was your internal matter, Azure Isle? Didn't you hear this kid calling me brother-in-law just now? The woman inside, Fiona, she's mine! Do you think I should mind?"
Isaac was both angered and frustrated.
Angered because he hadn't expected Gabriel to have this relationship with Fiona.
If he had known earlier, he could have easily used Gabriel as leverage to make Fiona submit.
Frustrated because this person was deliberately picking a fight!
He didn't buy into their story.
Did they also have their eyes on Azure Isle?
"Brother, you're joking. I've never heard of Miss Fiona from Prosperous Strength Group having a boyfriend!"
"But now she does, right, nephew?"
Elijah patted Gabriel's shoulder.
"Yes, he's my brother-in-law! He has a gun, you better leave if you know what's good for you. Do you think your ability can stop a bullet?"
Gabriel stood with hands on hips, very arrogant, making even Elijah want to slap him.
"Damn it!"
Isaac deeply regretted.
He had been worried that Gabriel would reveal his abilities! If the other side utilized invisibility and shot him with a gun, he wouldn't stand a chance.
He only considered whether they could be lured into cooperation since they didn't launch a sneak attack just now.
"In that case, we're leaving! Until we meet again!"
Isaac signaled to Henry, who grabbed Emily.
They kept an eye on them while slowly retreating from the other side.
Emily struggled hard, but couldn't break free from Henry.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Gabriel.
"Gabriel!"
Emily's clothes had been torn by Isaac earlier, and now, struggling again, her loose coat was ripped open, revealing her upper body.
Coupled with her pitiful appearance, being dragged forcibly, it felt like a scene from some melodrama.
"Hey? Emily is from our Azure Isle, and she doesn't want to go with you. Let her go!"
Gabriel didn't think that much.
He just felt that this woman had taken care of him while he was imprisoned, and he couldn't just ignore her.
