Chapter 274 Fight
Zack walked forward and personally removed the mechanism on the wooden box.
The Lockwood family’s guards couldn’t help but feel a wave of lingering fear. Fortunately, the patriarch’s wife was smart enough to notice that something was wrong. Otherwise…
Isabella stared at Zack’s hand with interest. She then said, “I have a teacher. He’s a mechanical expert. “Of course, he doesn’t understand such ancient mechanisms and traps, but I think they’re all the same.”
Zack raised his head stiffly and looked at Isabella. He met her dark eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.
A chill that seeped into his bones slowly overwhelmed Zack.
“This woman is just terrifying. I’ve never seen such a terrifying person!
“She seems to know everything!”
The movements in his hands changed their trajectory without batting an eyelid. He began to dismantle the hidden traps and mechanisms obediently.
Isabella curved her lips and didn’t say anything else. She just watched quietly.
Zack’s instantly became entirely dispirited.
As Isabella had thought, he had wanted to use the hidden traps in the wooden box to kill Isabella.
For the first time, Isabella had seen through the hidden traps in the wooden box and Zack had to pretend to dismantle it.
The second time was when he had just dismantled the hidden traps. That method was not dismantling the hidden traps at all, but taking the opportunity to activate the killer traps.
However, he did not expect Isabella to understand it.
The fact was, Isabella did not understand what Zack was doing at all. She was bluffing.
She never dared to underestimate Lucsia’s ancient culture and skill legacy.
Mechanisms were an ancient technique that had been passed down for generations. It was even more mysterious. She had never dabbled in it before and could not understand it at all.
But apparently, she was right, because Zack believed her.
Therefore, he became even more obedient.
Zack removed the hidden traps completely and opened the wooden box. On the soft red silk cloth inside lay at black dragon-shaped family plaque.
The family plaque was about a foot long and two inches wide. The family plaque was engraved with dense small words. When Isabella picked it up, her hand suddenly felt heavy. “It’s really heavy,” thought Isabella. After taking a closer look at the small words on it, the family rules became more and more obvious. The corners of Isabella’s mouth twitched, and he quickly put the family plaque back into the wooden box. She closed the wooden box again and handed it to the captain of the guards. Then, she stood up and said, “Let’s go.”
She left in the same manner as she came.
When she reached the door, she turned around and said, “We’ll raid your property soon. You only have half a day. You’d better get going.”
After saying that, she saw the increasingly dejected and desperate faces of Zack and Samson.
Then, Isabella turned around and met a pair of hateful eyes.
Isabella immediately cocked her brows with interest. “Oh, it’s actually that little kid called Tyler Lockwood.” The child’s eyes were stubborn and resentful as he stared at Isabella with hatred.
Seeing that she had discovered him, he quickly retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and shrank behind his father.
Isabella did not miss the fear that filled his eyes under the hatred.
Isabella cocked her brows with interest, but she ignored him and left with her men.
Outside, the captain of the guards said, “Mrs. Lockwood, I think keeping this family alive will be a problem in the future. Look at that brat’s eyes just now. If he’s given room to grow, he might be a problem in the future.”
Isabella was silent for a moment. She then smiled and said, “Let him live. He can be used as a challenge in the future. I have to leave some fun for the children.
“Let’s hope this little friend, Tyler, doesn’t disappoint me.”
She was not conceited, but confident.
As members of the Lockwood family, Ricky and Betty were destined to have an extraordinary future. Since that was the case, this little friend Tyler was her gift to them.
