Chapter 658
Rayshaw pointed at Draxton with a threatening expression.
Before Draxton could say anything, Fernando mocked, "Rayshaw, look at that evil face of yours. I'm not even as bold as you.”
Rayshaw's countenance became stern as he shot an angry look toward Fernando. Then, he sneered and said, "Fernando, do you still think that the present Allied Nations is still the world of the Barclays family? I suggest keeping quiet so as not to cause any offense."
The pupils of Fernando's eyes turned darker.
Draxton asked subtly, "Rayshaw Charles, do you get your self-assurance from your weapons?"
Rayshaw had seen that Draxton remained unfazed and had a cool demeanor. In spite of his best efforts, he seemed displeased.
That made sense after giving it some more thinking. Because of their upbringing, these people naturally had an air of superiority.
As so, there was no need to rush. He would always put an end to their imperiousness, crush their noble bones, and force them to bow down to him.
Rayshaw gave a sinister chuckle. He stopped pressuring Draxton to give over the crystal potion's experimental results and the Prime Code. Instead, he sat down in the first row of the wedding's main seating area with a smug air about him.
The seats here were for Graham and the other elders.
However, Rayshaw just sat there casually. He even cast an arrogant glance at Graham and asked, "This is the Lockwood family's Sir Graham Lockwood, right? I heard that back when you were at the bottom o the Pacilian Ocean, you looked down on my father, is that true?"
Graham's expression was nonchalant, but his eyes mocked as if he were looking at a clown.
Rayshaw said, "It's alright. I'll give you your punishment soon. There's no rush on this. Let's continue with the wedding. This might be the last time you celebrate."
He beamed with pride since no one was in his line of sight. It was as though he already saw himself as the ruler of this nation.
"Despite everything, Old Charles has managed to maintain a low profile and hold out. Despite his lack of modesty, he is aware of his own limitations. But you..." Graham trailed off.
Then, he slowly shook his head, as though continuing to speak would be pointless.
Rayshaw's eyes suddenly grew cold. He suddenly sprang to his feet, pulled out a gun, and pressed it to Graham's head.
Draxton and Isabella's expressions changed at the same time.
They could never tolerate Graham being treated like this.
However, Graham himself remained calm. He slowly said, "Stop pretending. You won't kill me anyway. Why waste your energy?"
Too well, in fact, he grasped the psyche of people like Rayshaw. It was said that the bad guys always end up with the goods. They seemed to take great pleasure in seeing others who had been higher in status bow down to them.
Rayshaw was never going to kill him.
The comments made by Graham enraged Rayshaw. He felt as if Graham could see right through him.
When he saw Draxton and Isabella rushed over, Rayshaw sneered and put away his gun, affirming him, "Sir Graham Lockwood, you're right. I won't kill you."
He looked malicious.
Isabella felt that Rayshaw was like a disgusting man trying his best to get out of his sticky situation.
However, Rayshaw announced aloud, "Alright, let's keep the wedding going. After all, today will be a day you'll never forget. Because after today, the Lockwood family and the Barclays family will no longer exist. When this wedding was over, everything will be over as well!"
Jake and Olivia exchanged glances. They looked at one other with rage in their eyes. Honestly, this person was just too irritating.
Other than Rayshaw, the families of the Allied Nations forces that were already attached to Rayshaw were all standing on Rayshaw's side at this moment, looking around arrogantly.
A socialite smiled frivolously. "I think Draxton is indeed charming. Dad, can I have him as my lover?"
There was a young woman who asked the man beside her.
Her tone made it seem like a question, but it was really an insult.
The father answered, "Of course. As long as Mr. Charles agrees, Draxton Lockwood and Fernando can become your playthings."
His tone was filled with arrogance.
Isabella immediately glared in their direction when she heard the conversation.
Fernando murmured lowly to Isabella, They are from the Noverson family and are also one of The Allied Nations' forces. When they first joined The Allied Nations, they were the lowest-ranking family. Now that they were associated with Rayshaw, however, their status had improved dramatically. Among the nobility, Miss Novalynn is famous for having a terrible reputation. My only surprise was when her father turned out to be much more arrogant than she is."
Isabella asked, "Fernando, you've never stopped them from doing this?"
Fernando said meaningfully, "They're not worthy of my attention. So what if I allow them to do what they want? And now, don't I have Mr. Lockwood and you as my companions? How great it is to be able to gather around together."
Isabella glared at him, "Do you think this is a joke?"
Fernando raised his chin arrogantly and said, "To me, Rayshaw is only fooling around. The person behind supporting Rayshaw is the real deal."
"The person behind Rayshaw?" Isabella was shocked.
Fernando narrowed his eyes slightly while he continued, "The Allied Nations have been around for a very long time. As a matter of fact, the very existence of The Allied Nations has weakened the authority of the different national leaders. They won't allow progress for the Allied Nations. Why do you think The Allied Nations have split up so badly? How could the massive Allied Nations be split so swiftly and on the edge of collapse under my authority if no one was covertly instigating trouble? And Rayshaw. Not that I have anything against the Charles family, but I really doubt that Rayshaw could learn to be that arrogant right under my nose."
Isabella lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Looks like something big is on its way."
"You're right," Fernando answered.
At this moment, Miss Novalynn had already treated Fernando and Draxton Lockwood as if they were her own She glared at Isabella unhappily and demanded, "Hey, go away! Stay away from Fernando. If you make me unhappy, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!"
Isabella looked up and glanced at Miss Novalynn.
She was dressed in an expensive designer gown and a dazzling array of accessories. She appeared like a sophisticated socialite with her blond hair and green eyes. The contradiction between her outward demeanor and her inner behavior was striking.
"You're letting her make a fuss about this? Fernando asked in a hushed tone.
Isabella was about to say something. However, Miss Novalynn noticed Fernando leaning toward Isabella, and she was furious about it.
She stormed up to Isabella, wine glass in hand, ready to throw it in her face in a fit of rage.
Isabella sighed and said, "I really don't want to lay a hand on an idiot. But now that you made the first move..."
Miss Novalynn had left her with no choice.
She frowned in distress. She grabbed Miss Novalynn's wrist and twisted it forcefully.
Screams of terror reverberated across the wedding hall. Everyone in the room looked over. The wine was flowing from Miss Novalynn's face and hair, and her wrist was twisted in an odd position. To say she looked like a mess would be an understatement.
Isabella smiled innocently at Draxton and Jake and said, "What a nice song! I wish the two of you a blissful marriage and that your love lasts forever."All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Jake's lips twitched.
Olivia clapped happily and said, "Well done, Isabella! I like it."
Isabella immediately made a heart gesture at her.
Their interaction as if no one else were in the room caused the expressions of Mr. Novalynn and his daughter to change drastically. Mr. Novalynn immediately growled at Rayshaw and said, "Mr. Charles, look at them..."
Rayshaw's eyes darkened as he stood up. He smiled evilly and walked towards Isabella, saying, You're is indeed extraordinary, Miraculous Doctor. I like you very much."
He stared at her with the intentness of a hunter assessing his prey.
Isabella looked at him seriously and asked, "Did the water of the Pacilian Ocean taste good? Do you still want to be thrown into the water and have a taste of it again?" Rayshaw bit his tongue back at the sound of her words
