Asher looked at the tall man who appeared out of nowhere. He wore a blue-and-red belt around his waist with a soaring eagle emblem on it. It looked powerful and oppressive.And this pressure was coming from the youngest leader of the four clans, Altair Jensen. The Jensens were from the plains. Why did Altair speak up for Isaac? Wasn't he afraid of offending anyone?Caesar narrowed his eyes and smiled. But Leroy and Channing frowned. Altair had been the head of his family for only one year. What fuckery was he up to this time?Meanwhile, Todd was shocked. He was starting to look excited."Sir Altair, are you implying that what the Everest Sect is doing now is inappropriate?" Caesar asked in an accusatory tone."Do you think it's appropriate?" Altair challenged him back.The tension in the air was so thick that they could cut through it with a knife. Everyone stared at Altair in shock.What was this young man trying to say?Isaac also looked at Altair in curiosity.In the next s

Todd continued beating Asher up. He roared in answer, "He hasn't surrendered yet, so the winner isn't confirmed. And I'm not going to stop until then.""Hurry up and surrender, Asher!" Leroy would rush out and beat Todd if he could, but he could feel Altair's eyes on him. So, he could only yell and remind Asher to surrender."I—I surrender!" Asher cried, begging for mercy. He kept spitting out mouthfuls of blood.There was a clear difference in power between the phases, even between the stages of the same phase. Of course, Isaac's case was a different thing altogether. Nonetheless, defeating Asher was like a piece of cake for Todd.Heath started yelling at Todd to stop. It was only then that Todd slowly stood up. He then brushed the dust off his shoulders and backed away.Asher had been pummeled into a pulp. He was quickly brought back from the arena by the Ashleigh clan members.Caesar's face was blacker than thunder. He'd heard before that a powerful fighter had appeared alongs

"'Fire'? What do you mean?" Todd asked in confusion.Thousands of martial arts fighters all looked at Isaac curiously.The Nortons sneered at Isaac while the Ashleighs laughed at him.Whoosh! Whoosh!Suddenly, there were loud whistles in the air. The heads of the clans and the Everest Sect elders realized that something was wrong. They all looked up into the sky at once.Nothing happened in the first few seconds. Five seconds later, three tiny dots appeared in the sky. They were flying toward the area.Todd widened his eyes and asked in shock, "What the fuck is that?""Run!" Isaac pulled Todd with him and bolted out of the way by 300 feet.Caesar stood up suddenly, and his eyes bulged out in shock. Then, Channing, Leroy, and Altair also stood up. Everyone noticed the three dots in the sky."Those are missiles!" the elder beside Leroy widened his eyes and shouted.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!The three missiles whistled as they headed straight for the Ashleigh's platform. Just b

Chet put his hands behind his back and walked toward Isaac. He was wearing a dirty gray robe. Meanwhile, Isaac turned around and went to help Todd up from the ground.He was also a mid-stage Celestial Phase fighter, but he was no match for Caesar. Caesar's attack earlier was an eye-opener for many martial arts practitioners there.After all, they had seen how powerful Todd was when he fought Asher. Yet, Caesar had defeated him with just a single attack. This proved that the fighters from Everest Sect were to be taken seriously.But just when everyone thought Isaac would finally be killed, Chet had arrived just in time."I thought I'd sent my pipe to you as a warning. Didn't you get the hint? Why did you have to force me to appear?" Chet asked, staring at Caesar.Leroy suddenly bolted next to Caesar and pointed at Isaac. He screamed, "Chet, Isaac was the one who started it first! He ambushed us with missiles! My clan has suffered many deaths and injuries because of him. Take a look

Heath, Nigel, and the others waited anxiously outside the study. They could only hear Caesar and Leroy arguing loudly inside the room.The arguing finally stopped about half an hour later. Leroy opened the door and walked out. When he saw Nigel and the others waiting with bated breath, he broke into a wide smile. Then, he left in a hurry.Heath and Nigel were confused when they saw this."Mr. Olsen!" Nigel called out as he entered the study."Get out. All of you, get the fuck out of here!" Caesar roared from the room. Everyone outside was shocked and quickly left.Chillhaven was one of the poorer cities closest to the Evereston Mountains. At the hotel, Isaac handed two Awakening Pills to Todd and swallowed another one himself. Then, he showered and changed into clean clothes.There was a knock on the door. Isaac opened the door to see a man in a long robe nodding politely to him. He said, "Mr. Garten, the head of the Jensen clan would like to invite you to dinner with him. Please
