The glass doors in the living room had been shattered. A few Dusk Soldiers lay motionless on the ground outside the house.Isaac rushed into the house and saw Evie on the couch. She looked very pale. She placed one hand on her tummy. Three golden strings were looped around the fingers of her other hand. Harry was holding the other ends of the strings. He stood about 15 feet away from Evie. He didn't want to infect Evie with the Blank Mandela toxins on his hands. So, he used the traditional method to listen to Evie's pulse using golden strings.Next to him, Holly was pacing about. She hurried over to Isaac when she saw him. She said, "Mr. Garten! Mr. Garten, Ally has been kidnapped! What should we do?"Holly had long regarded this family as her own. She was anxious when she saw that Allegra had been kidnapped and Evie had been hurt."Don't panic, Ms. Lambert," Isaac comforted. He then hurried over to Evie.Isaac's eyes met with Evie's. He could feel his nose tingling when he saw

"W—What? What did you say?" Todd widened his eyes. He couldn't believe Isaac's words. Or maybe Isaac was the crazy one for saying something like that!Isaac puffed out a cloud of smoke and said, "Call the head of your clan. I want to see him at noon tomorrow to talk about business. Hurry up and recover as fast as you can!"Then, Isaac turned and walked up the stairs. He wanted to check on Isabella and Erica. Todd was the only one left in the living room, feeling confused.A few minutes later, Todd took out his phone and dialed Altair's number.Todd greeted Altair politely when the call connected, "Sir, um, have you returned to the clan?""I have. What's up?""Um, Isaac said he wants to see you tomorrow to discuss some business. Would you … Do you want to see him?" Todd wasn't sure how to convey Isaac's request.After all, Altair was the head of one of the biggest martial clans in Cynea. What kind of business would he need to discuss with Isaac? It wasn't like he was short on cas

An elder in a gold-and-black robe stood at the tent entrance. There was a long shawl wrapped around his hands as he smiled at the newcomers. There were five other burly men standing behind him.Isaac and Todd got out of the car and walked toward the elder."Mr. Garten, welcome to the humble abode of the Jensen clan," the elder said. He greeted them with his shawl."This is Ambrose Jensen, the First Elder of the Jensen family.""The head of the clan is waiting for you inside the tent. Please, follow me." Ambrose then turned and entered the tent behind him. The five men remained outside.Isaac had never seen such a large tent before. There were plants and flowers growing under the tent. Though the ceiling was low, it didn't feel cramped inside. The place was green as green could be.The tent was at least 3,000 square feet wide. The tent was divided into six or seven rooms farther in. The dividers were made of fabric curtains.They arrived before a curtain. Ambrose then said polite

This was robbery!Before Altair could say anything, Isaac looked at Mizar and shook his head with a smile. "Sorry, I'm not interested in working with you."Mizar's eyes turned icy, and her body began to radiate a chill. Suddenly, she flickered over and grabbed Isaac's neck.Those blue eyes were suddenly not as beautiful anymore. They were boiling with murderous energy."Would you believe it if I said I'd kill you and steal all your Awakening Pills?" she asked Isaac with a mocking expression.Isaac's face instantly turned red. It was getting hard to breathe, and Mizar's overwhelming aura held him back.This woman was far tougher than Isaac could ever imagine. Panting, he said, "You can try to kill me. Let's see if you can get any Awakening Pills."Altair was stunned. He immediately walked over to try to break up the fight. "Come on, Mizar, what are you doing? Isaac is sincere in discussing a deal with us. Let go of him now." "He's refusing to work with me. Isn't he disrespectin

The patriarch? Was there someone inside?Wasn't Altair's grandfather dead?Before Isaac could react, a stern voice came from the other side of the stone door, "Who else is outside the door?"An invisible pressure ambushed him.All of a sudden, Isaac felt an immense force pressing down on him until he got on one knee.At that moment, Altair was already sweating profusely. He took a deep breath and said, "It's one of my good friends. He wants to see the Divine Stone fragment.""You bastard!" came a thunderous curse.Altair's face turned pale. He began to shake.Isaac felt the spiritual energy and blood in his chest begin to surge. A sickly sweet taste hit the back of his throat, but he forced it back down."Sir, I'm willing to give 500 Awakening Pills annually in exchange for a look at the fragment," Isaac said with difficulty.Altair was dazed. Then, he said hurriedly, "Grandfather, that's right. He'll give us 500 Awakening Pills a year."After a few seconds, there was a rumb
