Forty minutes later, a helicopter landed smoothly on the tarmac.

This attached island was developed into a resort.

The resort was about 150 kilometers away from the main island. Every hotel was built separately andhad absolute privacy.

The island had all the necessary facilities, and the scenery was even more magnificent than the main.

island.

The turquoise sea connected with the distant h orizon, creating a beautiful painting of the sea and sky.

After Rachel got off the plane, she looked around. There were a few yachts docked on the shore andalso a few seaplanes at the distant berth.

There were not many tourists on the island, and there was a sense of seclusion and comfort.

A gentle breeze blew past, causing her hair to flutter behind her head.

She casually raised her hand and reached out to h**k her hair.

As she turned around, she saw two figures not far away from her.

The middle-aged man looked to be in his early fifties. His hair was neatly combed, and one couldvaguely sense the rigor in his bones.

He was wearing a suit, and his every move exuded an unfathomable depth.

At this moment, he was surrounded by others. The person beside him whispered something.

The man’s cold gaze landed on David without batting an eyelid. Then, he lowered his gaze to hide theemotions in his eyes.

He waved his hand at the person beside him, indicating that he should leave first.

“I wonder what day it is today,” the young man standing behind the middle-aged man said meaningfully.

His gaze swept past David in a hurry. Then, he stared at Rachel without blinking.

His malicious and venomous gaze was like a snake lying dormant in the grass, having found delicious.prey. It was sticky and disgusting.

Rachel frowned imperceptibly. She turned around without batting an eyelid and turned her back to

the man.

At this moment, the middle-aged man walked toward David and nodded slightly. His attitude washumble and respectful. “Mr. David.”

With one hand in his pocket, David stood tall and straight in front of the middle-aged man. Heresponded with an indifferent expression, neither cold nor warm.

Seeing that his attitude was so indifferent and cold, Noah Jones didn’t show any anger on his face. Hewas still respectful and humble.

According to seniority, he was the nominal second uncle of David, but according to the rules of theJones family, seniority was nothing compared to power.

The Jones family had always followed a system of hierarchy based on power instead of seniority.

Now that David was the Jones family’s leader, even as David’s second uncle in name, Noah had tohumble himself and greet David respectfully.

“Mr. David, since you have guests, we won’t disturb you anymore.” The corners of Noah’s mouth curledup slightly, and his gaze was slightly lowered. After taking a step back, he left with the young manbehind him.

Rachel watched as the two left. She narrowed her eyes and was deep in thought.

She had seen Noah’s face in the family tree of the Jones family sent by Lone Wolf.

It was rumored that in the past disputes of the Jones family, Noah was the most dutiful and had neverparticipated in any power struggle.

However, after the meeting just now and the short conversation, Rachel could clearly sense Noah’sshrewdness.

Perhaps this second son, who was content with his lot and didn’t participate in any power struggles,didn’t have the honest and straightforward appearance he seemed to have on the surface.

Such people were often the most terrifying and easily made people let their guard down.

The young man looked at the departing figures of Rachel and David. His eyes narrowed slightly as hestared thoughtfully at Rachel’s graceful figure.

Julian Jones admitted that he had seen countless beauties in Aureliana. In the past, he did not thinkmuch of it. Now that he had Rachel as a comparison, he only felt that those beauties he saw in the pastwere all vulgar.

Rachel exuded an innate coldness.

It was like the moon in the water, something that one could only look at but not obtain.

It was precisely this feeling of distance that was the most unforgettable.

Julian reluctantly retracted his gaze and said casually, “We’ve been respectful to him all these years,making him even more arrogant! But no matter what, you’re still his second uncle, right?”

Upon hearing Julian’s words, Noah, who was walking in front, stopped in his tracks. He lookedsideways and glanced at his son coldly. “The Jones family had always followed a system of hierarchybased on power instead of seniority! Our power is weak, so we should know our place!”

“We should know our place?” Julian’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Haven’t we been living with ourtails between our legs enough all these years?”

“It’s not enough!” Noah shouted coldly. He calmed down a little, let out a meaningful sigh, and said.meaningfully. “If you want to protect yourself in a place like the Jones family, you’re far from enough!Julian, I’m warning you. Put away those thoughts in your heart. David is not someone you can provokecasually. If you really anger him, don’t blame me for not disregarding our many years of father-sonrelationship!”

What he meant was that if Julian caused trouble, he would definitely not take the lives of the hundredor so people in his family to fight head-on with David. He would only make a prompt decision to cut tieswith Julian.

After he heard this, Julian’s expression changed slightly.

He stared at his father in disbelief. He clenched his fists tightly by his side and suppressed theunwillingness and hatred in his heart. “Is it necessary? No matter what, you’re still his second uncle inname. How can you really come to the point of a life-and-death struggle?”

“He’s a wolf cub personally trained by your grandfather. He can even lay his hands on his own father.Why can’t he lay his hands on us?” Noah said calmly.

His casual tone was bone-chilling.

At the mention of this, Julian couldn’t help but recall his uncle’s sorry state when he was taken. A traceof fear involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

away.

When Noah saw him like this, a trace of imperceptible disgust flashed across the depths of his eyes.

He raised his hand and patted Julian’s shoulder, saying earnestly, “Enduring is painful. If you want tobe above others, the first thing you have to do is to endure!”

With that, he gave Julian’s shoulder a firm squeeze as a warning, then turned and left.

As he turned around, Noah saw two people walking down from a seaplane.

The man in the lead was wearing sunglasses, which made his strong facial features look a little cold.

His gaze followed the back of Vulture and the black shadow as they walked away. His eyes were filledwith deep thought.

Meanwhile, Rachel and David were led to the presidential suite by the butler.

Billy, Yann, and Chris stood not far away like emotionless sculptures.

The butler respectfully sent them fresh fruits and desserts.

“Mr. Jones, the surroundings of the resort have been completely sealed off as per your instructions. Ifthere’s anything else you need, feel free to let me know.”

David nodded slightly. “You may leave first.”

After the butler left, Rachel casually picked up a grape and put it in her mouth. She looked at Davidcasually. “How many people did you bring back this time?”
