Chapter 75 Heavy Losses
The handsome young man rubbed his forehead. He was really muddle-headed from anger. He then calmed down and took out his phone to call Isabella.
Isabella was very surprised to receive a call from Jake. As soon as the call went through, he asked, “Jake, why are you free to call me? Are you okay?”
Jake said, “I’m fine. We’re all fine. The mission went smoothly. I called you because there was something else.”
“What is it?” Isabella knew that things were probably not simple. Otherwise, Jake would not have called her.
Jake said, “Someone paid us to take you out.”
At this point, Jake’s expression turned extremely ugly.
Isabella suddenly laughed. She asked with interest, “How much is my life worth?”
Jake’s face was dark. “You still have the mood to joke about this? Didn’t you hear that someone wants to take you out?”
Isabella chuckled and said, “There are many people who want me dead. You think that I have time to care about all of them?”
Jake was silent for a moment before saying, “Three million dollars.”
Isabella raised her eyebrows and sneered. The starting price of Mercenari Uno is two million dollars, right? The buyer only added one million dollars. Is my life worth so little?”
“Hmph.” Jake was also a little led astray by Isabella. He said angrily, “A bunch of idiots. They’re really looking down on us!”
Isabella could not help but laughed out loud. “Jake, then ask them to increase the price. 30 million dollars, or the deal is off.”
Jake knew Isabella very well. When he heard that, he narrowed his eyes slightly and could not help but laughed. “Bella, only you can be so calm. Someone just ordered a hit on you. Don’t you wanna know who did
it?”
Isabella coughed lightly. “Seeing that they offered so little to take me out, I guess the client didn’t know me well. The Riker family, I guess?”
“Smart! But it’s not the Riker family. It’s Carlos Orwell.” Jake sneered.
Isabella was not surprised at all. “The only people I’ve offended recently are the Riker family and Samantha Lang Samantha Lang is nowhere near being able to contact Mercenari Uno yet, so that leaves Bridget Riker. However, I’m not surprised that it was Carlos Orwell who did it.”
Jake’s voice turned cold. “Bella, it’s time for us to take Carlos Orwell out. All these years, he has done many things outside that have damaged the Sanctum of Holy Doctors’s reputation, while wearing the Sanctum of Holy Doctors’ name. He has also used this reputation to gain many benefits, and we’d have him pay many, many times over.
“Besides, he was originally the Sanctum of Holy Doctors’s traitor. Letting him off for so many years is already letting him off easy.”
Isabella smiled faintly. “I think so too. I met Bridget Riker before. She should have told Carlos about my relationship with Grandmaster. I was waiting for them to make a move.”
Isabella smiled, but a trace of killing intent flashed in the depths of her beautiful, narrow eyes.
“It seems that you have long planned to attack Carlos.” Jake couldn’t help but smile happily. “I was getting flustered for nothing. No one in this world can bully you indeed!”
Isabella narrowed her eyes and smiled. “If we don’t take out the trash now, when will we do it?”
Jake said straightforwardly, “Alright, although I’m not from the Sanctum of Holy Doctors, you’re a member of Mercenari Uno after all. A big brother has to do his job, right? Then I’d take point for you and teach Carlos a
small lesson first.”
The two of them were snappy people. After saying that, they hung up. Isabella couldn’t help but rubbed her forehead and laughed softly Jake’s actions would not be just a small lesson.
