Chapter 1431 The Negotiation Breaks Down

"Mr. Quill, what you shared is merely a fraction of it. After all, I've been in cahoots with him for quite some time. Do

you really think he'd be privy to so little?"

Ryan feigned nonchalance, his voice brimming with confidence as if he held a wealth of information at his disposal.

"Interesting. But bear in mind, if the information you provide doesn't measure up to your claims, you'll find yourself

back behind bars."

Isaac regarded Ryan with a look of feigned surprise, his voice steady and unflinching.

Did Ryan genuinely believe he could dupe him with such a transparent ruse?

At this, Ryan fell silent, his lips pressed into a thin line as he found himself at a momentary loss for words.

He didn't possess as much information as he had led Isaac to believe. If Isaac was calling his bluff, he would need to

rethink his strategy.

"I'm not interested in whatever information you claim to have. I'm here because Colton suggested I give you a

chance."

Isaac casually examined his palm, adjusted his attire, and spoke in a measured tone.

It was clear that Ryan was oblivious to the precariousness of his situation. Isaac felt it necessary to remind him of

his current predicament.

Ryan froze, his mind racing. Isaac's words had shattered his defenses, leaving him feeling exposed and vulnerable.

He sank into the couch behind him, his gaze fixed on the man before him, his face obscured in shadow. The object

concealed in his arms seemed to pulsate with anticipation.

Eventually, Ryan's eyes took on a bloodshot hue, and he reached into his jacket as if to retrieve something.

Although Isaac couldn't discern Ryan's actions from his vantage point, he had a rough idea of what was transpiring.

He narrowed his eyes, surreptitiously typing a message on his phone before swiftly pocketing it, maintaining an air

of nonchalance.

"Mr. Quill, if that's the case, I have nothing more to add. Here's the information you seek."

Ryan rose to his feet and retrieved a file from the table beside him.

"Truth be told, I harbor a deep resentment for Kendrick as well. He abandoned me when I needed him most. I trust

you'll help me exact my revenge. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and I should assist my friends."

As Ryan approached him, Isaac could feel his body tensing up. Still, he feigned ignorance as he kept his gaze fixed

on Ryan.

The gap between them closed, and Ryan's breathing grew erratic. This was uncharted territory for him.

If he was destined for a life behind bars, he was determined to take someone down with him!

"Really? That file you're clutching is worthless."

Isaac's eyebrows arched slightly. He could now see Ryan's face clearly. He held the file upright, and it appeared he

had something concealed behind it.

Such a pathetic ploy.

Isaac's disdain was palpable.

It didn't go unnoticed by Ryan. To him, it was a blatant show of contempt, something he couldn't abide.

"Well then, you can go to hell!"

Ryan flung the file aside, revealing a gleaming dagger which he thrust toward Isaac.

His movements were swift, precise, and merciless.

Isaac found it difficult to evade the attack. His lack of rest over the past few days had blurred his vision, making it

challenging to fend off Ryan. What was he supposed to do now?

He furrowed his brow, continuing to dodge Ryan's relentless onslaught. The knife in Ryan's hand posed a significant

threat.

"Why?! Even now, why do you refuse to show mercy and keep pushing me into a corner? If that's what you're going

to do, you'll meet your end here today!"

Ryan's sanity began to unravel. He brandished his dagger at Isaac with reckless abandon.

Against such a frenzied opponent, Isaac found it impossible to retaliate. His foggy mind was his biggest handicap.

Any rash move could prove fatal. His only option was to remain alert and focused.

"Heh."

He scoffed. He had never liked Ryan.
