Chapter 277 The Arrogant Isabel
Chapter 277 The Arrogant Isabel
Cedar Huo brought the hare over not to eat it himself, but to give Isabel Huo a taste.
Isabel was Huo's eldest daughter. Even if she wanted the stars in the sky, they had to find a way to
pluck them off.
Isabel now wanted to eat the roasted hare in Finn Chen's hand.
But she couldn't ask for it, because it was degrading.
So she had to let Cedar do the talking.
As for Howell Huang having problems with Finn, he used to be humiliated by Finn. But Cedar wouldn't
think about those things.
Because of the Huo's, Howell was on the same level as a dog.
Although Howell was an obscure martial artist, he was still an offshore gang member, who had incurred
many enemies. He was a traitor who has been sentenced out of his division.
Either of these two identities were dishonorable and nearly nailed Howell to the pillar of shame.
Wherever Howell was, he would be despised.
If it weren't for the recent turmoil in the Huo's, which was running short of manpower, he wouldn't have
let Howell enter Huo's Family's gates.
"...Cedar, I don't get along with my junior brother..."
Howell barely smiled at the moment, surrounded by a humiliation he had never felt before. Although he
had already guessed that the Hou's didn't think much of him, he still didn't think that they had treated
him like a human being. For a roasted rabbit, they had asked him to go and bow to his enemies.
"You don't want to go?" Cedar's voice went suddenly cold, even as the air grew eerie.
Howell shuddered and busied himself with getting up, "I'll go."
He gritted his teeth and took one step towards Zac Chen.
Finn and his crew were all a little surprised to see Howell walking over.
Yesterday when Cedar was so angry, Finn had thought Howell was highly regarded in Huo's. Now that
he saw it, Howell was a dog in Hou's Family.
"The roasted hare for me!"
Howell gritted his teeth as his hatred for Finn climbed to a new level. It was all Finn's meddling, and
without Finn, he wouldn't have been so humiliated at all!
"By what?"
Zac didn't care about Howell.
Howell would love to kill the four Chan siblings and Finn right there and then, but the Huo's would
certainly not approve of him killing anyone here.
"Zac, for the sake of the fact that you and I used to be together..." Howell softened his tone, but Zac
showed no mercy.
He interrupted with a smirk before Howell could finish his sentence, "Now you remember that we're in
this relationship?"
"Why didn't you think of that when you betrayed your master and sold the news of Ice lotus to the
Huo's?"
"Why didn't you think of that when you made the four of us kill each other?"
Zac's repeated questioning left Howell speechless.
Zac smirked again, "You want this roast rabbit?"
"Pick up that roast duck you just threw on the ground!" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Howell didn't think revenge would come so soon.
Taking a deep breath, he slowly crouched down and picked the dusty duck back up.
Zac's face was expressionless, "Eat it."
"Zac!" Howell was furious as if anger was spewing out of his eyes, "Don't you go too far!"
"So what?" Zac was encouraged to go toe-to-toe with Howell.
Howell clenched his fists, the murderous intent in his eyes spreading.
But in the end, he unclenched his fist and grimly took a bite of the dirt-covered roast duck.
Zac handed Howell the roast rabbit and taunted, "You really can take temporary setbacks."
Without saying a word, Howell gave Zac a cold look, picked up the roasted rabbit, and turned to go.
At Howell's camp, Howell put on another smile, "I brought the roast rabbit."
"You're pretty smart," Cedar grumbled. Taking the roasted rabbit from Howell's hand, he came over to
Isabel.
"Miss, you try it." Cedar handed the roasted rabbit to Isabel with both hands.
Isabel took a faint glance at the roasted rabbit in Cedar's hands and seemed unmoved.
Cedar smiled and continued to speak, "They brought this roast rabbit over of their own accord."
"Well, I'll be spared a taste." Isabel reached out her fingers and tore off a small piece of the rabbit,
placing it in her mouth to chew gently.
The roasted rabbit meat was smooth and tender, and its fragrance was overflowing.
A look of enjoyment appeared on Isabel's pretty face.
But soon, she forcefully suppressed the enjoyment.
Instead, she lightly said, "Uncle Huo, you guys should also try it. This rabbit meat is not bad."
Cedar forcefully held back a smile and busily shook his head, "We've already had enough."
"Alright." Isabel sighed and, with some difficulty, took the roasted rabbit from Cedar's hands...
Ten minutes later, Isabel rose contentedly and couldn't resist a glance at Finn. Compared to her original
contempt and disregard, she was now looking at Finn with a more searching gaze.
But it was limited to probing.
There was still a long way to go before Finn was taken seriously by her.
"Let's go." Isabel clapped her hands crisply, and the group got up again.
Finn put out the fire, Chen's four siblings buried the debris and trash in the ground, and the five of them
once again kept up with Isabel's group.
As dusk approached, the crowd finally arrived at the spring at the base of the cliff.
The water was gurgling down from high above. And the sound of the water flowing was as pleasant to
the ears as fairy music.
The air was also filled with a moist and sweet smell.
Compared to the top of the mountain, the cliff's temperature was already below zero, and the crowd
could feel the chill.
"Master Chen, Ice lotus is at the bottom of this spring." Wen Chen pointed to the end, where the water
was rapid flow, but it was bottomless.
It looked deep.
Finn's brow furrowed. He had a vague sense of danger from the bottom of the water.
"Wen. Did Jonny Huang ever tell you that there was something else at the bottom of the spring?" Finn
asked.
Wen shook her head, "None. Master said there are only three Ice lotus plants at the bottom of the
spring."
Finn's brow furrowed even tighter. He always had the feeling that something was staring at him from
the water, and he'd had that feeling ever since he'd arrived here.
"Master Chen, should we hurry down there."
Wen asked as the Huo family's mercenaries had already taken out their professional diving equipment
and started preparing for the water. If he didn't make any moves, he was afraid that Huo would just
jump on him.
