A huge rush of footsteps thundered outside like an earthquake. Michael and the others could feel the ground trembling. All of a sudden, several pained cries rang out outside. Then, a group of men in black armor burst inside.Harry was leading the troop. Instantly, 20 Dusk Soldiers circled Isaac, Diana, and Erica, protecting them.Isaac pointed at Michael and Flynn. He ordered, "Take them all away.""Don't you dare, Isaac. If you do this, you're directly opposing the House of Custos. I'm sure you know what the consequences of that are!" Flynn roared.When he saw these soldiers in black armor, he began to feel afraid.Beneath the light, their black armors even seemed to be glinting with a dark glimmer.He knew they were most likely the famed Dusk Soldiers of the Temple of Drakon.Yet Michael burst out laughing. "You think this small troop of unarmed bastards can take me away? Isaac, are you crazy?"Isaac regarded Flynn with a cold gaze. "I already gave you a chance.""Now!" Ha

"Slap him!" Isaac said, opening his eyes.Harry darted over to Michael and slapped him across the face.After a fierce beating, blood gushed from Michael's nose and mouth. His face resembled that of a pig from how swollen it was. He could no longer make a noise.The agony was evident on his face. He glared at Isaac with pure hatred.Meanwhile, the office of the Central Region Military Command Center was still brightly lit. An old man stood in front of the desk with a serious expression. He said into the phone, "Supreme Commander, this Isaac bastard is simply rude. Not only did he arrest one of our men, but he even asked me and you to meet him in person."Even if the Temple of Drakon is powerful, they are still based overseas. For him to behave so cockily to the House of Custos is—"Cassius' laughter sounded through the phone. "Alejandro, don't let this get under your skin. Since he wants to meet us, then let's see him. Get ready and wait for me at Layton Airport."Alejandro was

Everyone in the room was astounded by how Cassius just gave out three punishments in one go.At this very moment, Alejandro and Flynn felt very wronged.Alejandro stared at Cassius with wide eyes. His voice began to shake as he said, "Supreme Commander, I—""Yes?" Cassius glared at him, and the latter didn't dare to say another word.He was one of Cassius' most loyal followers. He was the marshal who benefited the most from Cassius' promotion.He never thought Cassius would throw him under the bus in front of Isaac."Marshal Sanchez, Supreme Commander Romero, this is unfair! I've served in the army for over ten years. I don't want to be discharged! Supreme Commander, please show mercy," Flynn begged and cried as he crawled over to Cassius.On the couch, Diana was stunned. She'd gone through countless possible scenarios in her head, but she never thought Cassius would betray his men."Isaac, I hope you're satisfied." Cassius smiled at Isaac.Isaac didn't answer. He stood up, gl

"Serena, you're even prettier than I expected." Diana ran over and shook Serena's hand with adoration.Serena gave her a slight smile in response. Then, she frowned at Isaac. "Allegra didn't come?"As she asked this, she gave Diana a sidelong glance.She seemed to be asking, "What is the meaning of this? Allegra isn't here, so you brought a pretty, sexy lady in her place?"Isaac felt a little awkward. He shook his head and said, "Your cousin didn't want to come. Well … I'm sure you know Diana. She said the weather here is pretty hot.""Even if it's hot, you don't have to wear such a revealing outfit. You'll catch a cold, Diana." Serena looked at Diana. Then, she grabbed Isaac and pulled him toward her Bentley.Diana also wanted to get in, but Serena stuck her head out and said, "Diana, why don't you take one of the cars behind mine? I want to speak with Isaac privately."Awkwardly, Diana turned around and got into the BMW at the back."Serena, didn't you say tonight was the con

Isaac stopped in his tracks. He gave the Backlane Boys a confused look and said, "You all go ahead with Serena. I'm not used to this kind of celebrity treatment.""Isaac, you're really not going to show us some respect? The Backlane Boys came to welcome you, but you won't come in with us." Serena pouted unhappily.Nick waved his hand while smiling. "Anything you want, Mr. Garten. In that case, we'll go ahead."After waiting a while, Isaac and Lupinus finally went inside.They walked through the long corridor and then paused in front of massive golden doors. The two security guards then pushed the door open, and a bright light hit their eyes.Several crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling like huge crystal balls dangling in the sky. Below the lights was a soft peony carpet. The room was filled with dolled-up men and women."Let's find a corner to grab a bite in. We'll wait for Diana there," Isaac said. He pointed to a corner to his right and walked toward it.As he made his wa
