The numismatic dealer - Chapter 7: Old friend

After getting enough rest, Alyssa finally wakes up and goes to the dining room. Elias and his wife were in the middle of preparing breakfast and ask her to come to join them. While they are in the middle of eating, suddenly one of the armed men came in and informs them about Isaac's arrival. As Isaac walk in with a backpack, Elias stands up and greeted him. Elias's wife told Alysa it is rare to see her husband do this considering who he is. Elias offers to help him to settle things for him his way but Isaac repeatedly turns it down and insist to solve it his own way. Using Elias method will forever cost his reputation as a neutral party as people will think he belongs to Elias, he will be forced to explain to the authority if thing gets messy. Then they sat down at the table dining room to have their breakfast. As they were finishing their breakfast, Alyssa asks if she can go home. However, Isaac told her to stay with him as the situation had turned dangerous, it will be safer for her to stick with him until it is all over. Then Elias jokingly says “seem like she will forever be in danger, I guess she might as well be your life partner. I guess fate had its own way for you after been doing this field alone for a long time.” Isaac reply “Quit joking around, Once I find out who the idiot attacks me and get him arrested, Alyssa will be safe to go.” Elias: “How you will go from here on?” Isaac reply “I still need to pass on the location and time to some client who will all gather at the British Ambassador building today for a ball dance.” Elias: “I am impressed you are to gain entry to such an event. I guess It is going to be a date now since you have a plus one now. If you need anything, let my men know. I will be off to settle something” After they finished their food, Isaac told Alyssa they going to go out to buy her a dress for the ball dance.
