After saying that, Isai's eyes showed his crazy ambition and desire. The mere thought of those made him excited all over, so much so that his facial muscles started twitching.
Stanley frowned as he looked at him, astonishment flashing across his face. In the end, he shook his head, "You're a madman!"
He couldn't believe that Isai actually thought of this and wanted to drag him into the mire! Was it because he had no other way out, or was it because he was overconfident that Stanley would stand on his side?
"Aren't you tempted?" Isai slightly leaned over, his turbid eyes blazing with excitement. "It's a position that all men would covet. I believe you too? Now there's such an opportunity in front of you, don't you want to seize it?"
"Stanley, I'll not hold grudges against you for what happened in the past, and I don't blame you for what you did to me this time. But the premise is that you have to work for me and help me clear my reputation, and let me go back to the country to help you. As a father and son team working together, we will definitely be unstoppable!"
The more Isai spoke, the more excited he became. In the end, his face turned red, as if he had already seen a bright future. "As long as you stand on my side, I will immediately let you go. I'll let Sharon go too, and I'll love my grandchildren as well."
Stanley's eyes flickered. "As long as I'm your puppet, you'll let me go?"
"How could you say 'puppet'? We're father and son." Although Isai spoke like this, his heart was full of irony. A 'puppet' sounded pleasing to the ear. In his eyes, Stanley was nothing more than a chess piece.
As long as he returned to Beachmarsh City to regain his power, he would then slowly settle the accounts between him and Stanley.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't ignore one fact — the only person capable of clearing his name now was his son, who saw him as an enemy!
"What if I don't agree?" Stanley asked again.
"Then you'll die today, along with Sharon. She won't leave this country alive." Isai looked at him expressionlessly. "You're my son and a smart person. You should understand me more. You know how I always keep my words."
Stanley stared at him for a few seconds. After a long while, he withdrew his gaze and nodded his head as if he had compromised, "Give me some time, let me think about it."
Isai said with a snicker, "Are you trying to stall for time?"
Stanley's expression froze.
"Sure enough, my guess is right. Buying time is useless. Who do you think can save you? Sharon? Or Shawn? Sharon is a woman. Any man here can kill her. As for Shawn, although he is a little powerful, he is not strong enough. Also, he's offended General Kunba who now wants to kill him. Two sides are after him. Once he shows himself here, he'll be dead. So tell me, who are you expecting to save you?"
Expressionlessly, Stanley looked at him. "So I only have one path to choose, and that is to agree to your request, right?"
"That's right."
"Aren't you afraid that if I pretend to promise you now, I'll not keep to my word after we return?"
"You don't have to worry about this. I have my own ways to have you always be at my disposal as long as you promise to help me."
"Oh, yeah? How would you have me always be at your disposal?"
Isai looked at him with a smile and slowly spat out two syllables, "Sharon."
Instantly, Stanley's expression changed. "What did you do to her?"
"I sent someone to seize her. Don't worry. I won't hurt her, at least not until you work for me. Before then, I can guarantee her safety."
