Chapter 761
"How many men does Quillan have under his command?" Leonardo asked coldly.
Isabel gritted her teeth and spoke softly, "Eight senior officers, twenty-three mid-level officers, and over two hundred other military personnel."
Ivan's eyes suddenly turned cold.
The number was actually a third more than what Haley had given him on the list.
It seemed some people were hiding very well. They were ready to bite him at any moment. It was time to catch them all in one go.
Ivan said coldly, "In three days, take these people to the Serenity River and wait for me. I'll bring Quillan over."
"Deal." Isabel nodded heavily.
IIt wasn't until Ivan's figure disappeared at the villa's entrance that a deep anger flickered in her eyes.
After reigning supreme for so many years, how could she possibly submit to others?
Isabel got in the car and dialed a number on her phone. "Gather all subordinates. Meet at the Serenity River in three days, and remember to capture Leonardo alive."
She wanted to make Leonardo beg at her feet, to show him that she was not someone to be trifled with!
The night slowly receded as dawn approached, and the first light of day began to paint the horizon.
Ivan was flipping through the documents on his desk, throwing irrelevant ones directly into the shredder, while organizing the relevant ones and putting them into a drawer.
Ivan was busy for three hours, and it was exactly eight in the morning.
The quiet villa gradually became lively.
Ivan, who hadn't slept all night, was full of energy, showing no signs of fatigue. He changed into a suit and said calmly, "Jared, come with me."
Jared walked out from the corner and responded, "Yes."
Two people walked out of the villa one after the other, and everyone curiously glanced at Jared.
They all knew Leonardo had an invisible bodyguard, but this was the first time they had seen him. However, Jared was wearing a mask, so they couldn't see what he looked like.
Jared drove the car, smoothly crossing the border into Country Y and finally stopping at the entrance of an opera house.
The concert had already started, and melodious piano music was coming from the performance hall.
Ivan went straight to the lounge. As soon as he entered, Isabella, who had been sitting on the sofa, stood up gracefully and said, "I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Windsor. This is our first official meeting. Hello, I'm Isabella Fairfax."
Queen Isabella smiled and extended her right hand.
She was forty-two years old but looked about thirty, exuding the grace and elegance of royalty in every move.
Ivan briefly shook her hand before quickly letting go.
Jared and Isabella's attendants tactfully exited the lounge and waited at the door.
Ivan and Isabella sat facing each other on the sofa.
"Queen Isabella, thank you for taking the time to meet me despite your busy schedule," Ivan said calmly. "There will be a tough battle the day after tomorrow. Is Your Majesty prepared?"
Isabella looked into his deep eyes and said calmly, "I trust you, but I don't feel trusted."
Ivan understood the hidden meaning in her words. He raised his hand and removed his golden mask, nodding. "Fewer than five people have seen my true face. Does this demonstrate my trust?"
Isabella's gaze fell on his scarred face, and she suddenly froze.
Her eyes suddenly welled up with tears, her lips slightly parted as she murmured a name.
"Queen Isabella, did my appearance scare you?" Ivan asked, reaching for the mask on the coffee table, ready to put it back on.
