Chapter 353 Theo Lockwood, The Lockwood Family
Julian was tremendously shocked to hear what Patriarch Grey had said.
“General Red is your natal bug. How did you lose it?”
He knew Patriarch Grey very well. He knew very well how much he valued and cherished General Red. Resentment filled in Patriarch Grey’s eyes. He recounted his dissatisfaction with Isabella and also scolded Jocelyn. In the end, he said, “I suspect it was Isabella’s daughter who stole my natal bug. I think I saw General Red on her head previously.”
“How could it be? No matter how capable Isabella is, she can’t possibly steal your natal bug!”
Julian was indeed shocked.
Patriarch Grey snorted angrily. “Whether it’s true or not, I won’t let Isabella off.”
She could only blame Jocelyn for being her teacher.
Patriarch Grey indeed detested Jocelyn.
A thought flashed across Julian’s mind. “Patriarch Grey, do you want to deal with Isabella and Draxton?” Patriarch Grey looked at Julian and said, “You’re not an outsider. With your relationship with Celia, we’ll be family sooner or later. Say it if you have anything.”
Julian said earnestly immediately, “You’re right. We’re family members.
“What I wanted to say is Draxton and Isabella have offended the Moore family today. Subsequently, the Moore family will surely take revenge on them crazily.
“Similarly, Draxton and Isabella might take action first. We will delay Draxton and Isabella’s actions to create an opportunity for the Moore family before they take action.”
Patriarch Grey pondered for a while before he nodded and said, “It’s a good idea to get others to do the dirty work!”
To use the Moore family to kill Draxton and Isabella. Wasn’t it a good idea?
Recently, a piece of news suddenly spread on Mystical Island.
The news was related to the underground chamber of commerce!
The underground chamber of commerce had an unrivaled exceptional status in the entire Mystical Island
It was because the underground chamber of commerce had existed since Mystical Island originated.
In terms of credentials, this underground chamber of commerce was not inferior to any force.
Even the tribunal committee failed to figure out the background of the underground chamber of commerce.
The news that was spreading now was the underground chamber of commerce had discovered a batch of unusual metal by chance.
Rumor had it that it was a living metal.
Of course, it was not that the metal had become a spirit. Instead, it referred to its characteristics of having memories.
If a metal was made into a dagger, and if it broke, the broken part would grow by itself and become a perfect dagger.
With the characteristics of having memories, it was called a living metal.
Therefore, the underground chamber of commerce named it “living metal”.
The exciting news now was that in two days, the night after tomorrow, the underground chamber of commerce would hold a large-scale auction in District 8, and the finale was this living metal.
The discovery of this magical metal undoubtedly caused a stir-up on Mystical Island.
It was because this kind of living metal had extensive use.
Especially, it was “living” and could grow again when it was damaged. Who wouldn’t be envious?
Soon the various forces were restless.
Not only did they want to bid for one or two pieces, but they also wanted to find out the source of this metal.
However, the underground chamber of commerce was so powerful that ordinary people wouldn’t dare to provoke it.
At the Moore family, Desmond’s injuries had been treated. Although he had not recovered yet, such a family of assassins naturally would have their unique method.
Therefore, he could walk slowly now with a crutch instead of being bedridden due to severe injuries.
They even actively did the servants’ chores and claimed they were not freeloaders.
This made Draxton and Isabella speechless.
The following morning, they received an invitation from the Grey family.
Isabella was surprised. “Is the Grey family so kind? They’re inviting us to the auction of the underground chamber of commerce.”
Draxton said coldly. “Then let’s beat them at their own game.”
The two looked at each other and made up their mind.
At night, the Grey family’s car came to fetch them to the underground chamber of commerce.
The underground chamber of commerce was in District 8, which the chaotic District 9 couldn’t compare. District 8 was even the most affluent area on Mystical Island.
It was because, in the Eighth Master’s business, the largest force was the underground chamber of
commerce.
In other words, the underground chamber of commerce was equivalent to an uncrowned king in District 8. At 8:00 pm, on the ninth floor of the underground chamber of commerce, all the gorgeously dressed underground chamber of commerce’s higher-ups stood respectfully in two rows welcoming their king humbly.
It was a young man in a black suit.
He was very handsome. He had a fair complexion and red lips, and the corners of his lips naturally curled up as if he was smiling all the time. People called him “smiling tiger”.
His name was Joshua Miller, the owner of this enormous underground chamber of commerce.
He was also the owner of District 8.
But he also had another name.
Theo Lockwood.
