“You bastard!" Josiah spat out. "Come at me if you think you can!"

"Why would I bother doing anything to you now?" Isaac retorted, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Josiah was stunned.

Isaac had ruined his reputation. He ended up making a huge mistake before retiring.

But was it not Isaac's fault?

“Even if you hurt me or my family, I can't tell you anything because I know nothing," Josiah pressed on.

“It appears that you won't relent until you lose something." Isaac motioned for someone to bring a chair. Then, he settled down with a lazy, crossed-legged posture and continued in an arrogant tone, “Alick, bring his wife and children."

“I would tell you everything if I had the information you seek. But I don't. So, how am I supposed to answer you?" Josiah asked, a Little flustered. While he cared little for his own well-being, he did not want to bring his children and wife into this.

“The person who assisted you in the operation has told me the truth," Isaac declared, his eyes piercing with intensity. "Camila is still alive. You replaced her with a burned corpse. Moreover, you know her whereabouts more than anyone else. Stop pretending.”

Josiah's fear began to seep through his demeanor, yet he continued to feign calmness. "I really don't know where she is. Whoever said that was lying."

Isaac's patience was wearing thin. He leaned back and uttered with a hint of frustration, "Being overly lenient with people Like you only makes you ask for more. Alick, do whatever you please. If anything happens, I'LL take responsibility.”

“No! Don't hurt my family. I..."

In his younger days, Josiah was too busy with his career he had no time for his wife and children.

But now that he had retired and lost his reputation, his wife stood by his side through all the trials and tribulations.

He could not bear the thought of his wife suffering on his behalf any longer.

The safety of his children weighed heavily on Josiah's mind. Having personally experienced Isaac's methods, he knew very well how far he could go.

“I... I'LL tell you everything. But you have to promise me one thing—"

“You have no right to bargain with me," Isaac interjected abruptly, cutting off his words.

Josiah clenched his hands tightly and stared at Isaac. Much to everyone's surprise, he suddenly burst into Laughter.

“Do you know why Camila left you?"

Josiah had planned to ask Isaac to support Camila's work, intending to eventually reveal her whereabouts.

However, Isaac's unwavering stubbornness robbed him of the opportunity to convey his intentions.

In light of this, Josiah resolved he would not allow Isaac to lead a good life.

Isaac's mind wandered to the memory of when Camila pushed him away by the river, and he muttered to himself, "She believed I didn't love her

"No. You're wrong. She doesn't love you," Josiah interrupted, a smile creeping across his face.
