Chapter 529
Isaac Blake could clearly see the shift in Elijah’s expression, and a wide smile broke across his face immediately.He raised his chin. “Even a useless person understands what it means to be a Grand Marshal. Are you regretting your recklessness now that you realize where you are standing?”Elijah didn’t respond. His eyes simply moved across Isaac, deliberately scanning him from the crown of his head all the way down to the ground beneath his feet. No one in the compound could tell what he was looking for or what he was finding.“Julius, listen to me. Get out now!” Serena’s voice came again with urgency. “You are not permitted to be here!”“Listen to her, son-in-law.” Old Master DiLaurentis spoke from where he still hung in the soldiers’ grip, his voice low but pushing through. “We can handle this. He is Grand Marshal Isaac Blake from the border military. Step out of this. You don’t have to be involved.”He said it, but even as the words left his mouth, he already knew. He could alrea

The armed men froze on the spot and didn’t dare squeeze the triggers. Their fingers had already slid off entirely, every bit of their attention pulled toward the ordinary-looking person walking into the compound. The words from his mouth didn’t match his face at all, but they were strong enough to hold every rifle in place.Serena blinked repeatedly, unable to process what she was seeing. She couldn’t believe that the person standing at that gate was her insolent husband. Perhaps she had already been shot, and this was simply her mind producing what she wanted to see. That was what she thought until Elijah looked in their direction and their eyes met directly.“Sorry I’m late, Wifey.” He made a cross over his chest with one hand, completely unbothered by the dozens of eyes boring holes into him from every direction in the compound. “Don’t think of me as a bad husband. I’ll make this up to you, cross my heart.”What no one in that compound could see was what was happening on the insi
Chapter 527
Five armed soldiers standing to the side marched forward toward the tied-up women and cocked their rifles in one quick motion.The faces of the DiLaurentis family turned pale instantly. Nobody had expected it to go this far, this fast.“Stop this nonsense right now!” David DiLaurentis shouted, and the force of it sent a sharp, searing pain ripping through his chest. He groaned and collapsed back into the wheelchair, the butler rushing to settle him properly.Isaac raised one hand. The soldiers halted and stood at ease.He approached the wheelchair slowly. “Is there something you want to tell me, David? You were also taken by the Shadow of Death last night?”“What are you talking about?” David’s face twitched slightly, but he locked his composure down tight and gave nothing away.“The mercenary who kidnapped you and your granddaughters.” Isaac stopped in front of the wheelchair. “You may not be aware, but he is a nation-level threat wanted by the military. My investigation shows you pa
Chapter 526
Isaac Blake had been silent throughout the patriarch’s entire entrance. Now he took a step forward, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.“David, I have to give it to you. You really know how to make an entrance.” His voice carried the easy tone of a man who had not been rattled at all. “What I heard from the doctors was that you might be bedridden for a very long time. I suppose they were wrong.”“Did you decide to bully my family in my absence?” Old Mr. DiLaurentis’s voice still carried the same clear hostility. “Isaac, you may come from a higher authority, but that doesn’t give you this right.”He said it steadily, but the reality of Isaac Blake’s position was not lost on him. With his standing in the border military, Isaac was miles above the DiLaurentis family in terms of institutional power. On any normal day, even David would have chosen his words carefully around this man. But they had a history. One that the two of them understood completely, and that no one else in this co
Chapter 525
Isaac Blake’s face twisted into something that was almost unrecognizable on him. He gritted his teeth. “David, is that any way to address me? We haven’t seen each other in years. Shouldn’t bygones be bygones…?”There was something about the way he said it that couldn’t be easily read, not quite an apology, not quite a threat, sitting somewhere uncomfortable in between.The three tied-up women exchanged glances, the confusion plain on all their faces. Whatever relationship existed between Isaac and their patriarch, it was clearly something far more complicated than an old friendship. What exactly was going on between these two?“Bygones…?” David’s fist clenched tighter, and he shook his head slowly. “I warned you never to set foot in this estate again. Even two decades will not change that, Isaac.”At that moment, members of the DiLaurentis family began flooding out of the main estate building and the surrounding apartments, drawn by the voice of a man none of them had expected to see

“Is that accurate?” Outside the main building of the DiLaurentis Estate, Isaac Blake stood with the group of soldiers that had just returned from the Ainsworth Mansion, his hands crossed behind his back. One of the soldiers stepped forward. “Grand Marshal, the information we received from the Ainsworths corroborates everything else our investigation has turned up.” A slow smirk spread across Isaac’s face. “Looks like the answers I needed were closer than I thought.” He glanced toward the compound. “Where are those women?” “Still tied up, Grand Marshal. They have refused to confess their involvement in the attack on Old Master DiLaurentis,” another soldier informed him. The smirk disappeared. Without a word, Isaac turned and marched away, the soldiers falling quickly into step behind him. They came to a stop in front of the large tree at the center of the DiLaurentis compound. The three women were still there, but the night had taken a visible toll on all of them. Their clothes w
