Christian looked at the uniformed man with the gun, his eyes fiery. His eyes were asking the latter to pull the trigger.However, the uniformed man frowned harshly. He'd been doing this job for almost 30 years, but this was the first time he'd met someone who still had the guts to continue eating with a gun to his head.However, Christian was asking him to shoot. He was conflicted because he didn't have any evidence of Isaac's involvement in the theft."Sir, he said ten minutes," Harry said after hanging up.Isaac put down his fork. His eyes turned to ice as he turned to stare down at the black gun. "If you don't have the courage to pull the trigger, then wait for ten minutes. If no one comes for you in ten minutes, then I'll leave with you.""Isaac, I came here today because I am certain I can take you down. I'd advise you to stop putting up a fight at this point. No matter what, your destiny is already decided!" Christian roared fiercely.Bringing the officers here was merely t

The man standing beside Bernard asked, "Who are you? Since you seem to know our clan, how dare you go against us?""How dare I? The Ashleigh clan has an heir in the Everest Sect, right? Well, I'm the one who killed Earl Ashleigh."Bernard and the man beside him narrowed their eyes, their heart rates rising. They thought, "He was Earl's killer, Isaac Garten!""No wonder your name sounds so familiar. Since we are old enemies, then today is finally the day I avenge Mr. Ashleigh," Bernard said, glancing at the man beside him.After they exchanged glances, they unleashed a powerful spiritual energy wave, charging toward Isaac while waving their fists."Move aside, Apothecary!" Isaac shouted slowly. He leaped into the air, choosing to attack instead of retreating, and stormed headfirst toward the two.When Christian saw Harry take cover at the side, a sinister look crossed his eyes. He let out a roar and ran toward him. Isaac thrust both hands outward, colliding directly with Berna

Allegra thought she was imagining things when she caught sight of Isaac. After all, she'd been here for ages. Time had been passing excruciatingly slowly for her, but she'd slowly gotten used to it.Allegra was so excited that she leaped from the third-floor balcony, much to Isaac's horror and chagrin. However, when he saw how gracefully Allegra landed on the ground, he was then reminded that his wife was now a powerful fighter.The two of them hugged each other tightly. Allegra rested her head against Isaac's chest and started to sob. Isaac said, "I'm here to bring you back, silly. Don't cry anymore. Let's go home together.""Isaac, I missed you so much. I've only been thinking about you, Isabella, and Ms. Lambert's cooking … I've never yearned for anything like this before," Allegra said in a nasal voice. Her eyes were also red from crying.Since arriving here, she'd only been eating the simplest meals she cooked herself with the ingredients a porter brought up every morning. Che

By the end of the day, two topics were trending on the Internet.The first one was about "Killing Lola," the Christmas movie starring a Cynean actress that grossed over 100 million worldwide sales at the box office on opening day. It was an impressive feat for the global film industry.The second one was an anonymous post on a website demanding to know why such an internationally successful movie had been banned from showing in Cynean cinemas by a shameless film distributor company. Further details were highlighted in the anonymous post, stressing how the deputy CEO of Monastery Films worked with other cinema companies in the country to ban the showing of "Killing Lola" after his underhanded offer was rejected by the film's investors. Moviegoers hurriedly put two and two together, and a riot suddenly exploded online. The conclusion that these fans and moviegoers came to was that the film distributor, Monastery Films, severely deprived the local fans of the right to watch the movi

It was almost 1 am by the time a platter of roasted chicken, grilled duck, and barbecue ribs appeared on the table, along with a big loaf of bread. Isaac and Holly watched in shock as the man wolfed down everything."Ah, this hits the spot," the man said, burping loudly after finishing everything on the table. There was a satisfied grin on his face. He caught sight of Isaac's and Holly's expressions and laughed. "Don't worry. I'm not just here for the free food. I'll pay back in my services.""Uh, how should we address you, sir? Let me show you to the guest room," Holly said. It wasn't like she hadn't seen someone with a big appetite—her hometown was also made up of hardworking farmers with large appetites. However, this man still took the cake for having the largest appetite Holly had ever seen. She figured he'd still be able to fit another rack of barbecued ribs in his stomach if possible."You can just call me Todd. Or whatever you want."Isaac watched as Todd followed Holly out
