After Isaac got off, Denvor took out a purple talisman and placed it between his forefinger and middle finger. He then started chanting again.He rolled down the windows and flung the purple talisman outside. Soon after that, Melody suddenly shivered. The white, ghastly face had disappeared. Instead, she saw a group of uniformed officers and negotiators looking at her anxiously."Get out of the way!" came a loud, angry shout from the back.The crowd shifted and made way for a team of armed soldiers. Cassius followed suit with his arms behind his back and walked onto the balcony."Melody, what are you doing? What the fuck are you trying to do?" Cassius roared into the wind."Daddy!" Melody screamed, rushing over to her father. She ran straight into his outstretched arms.Cassius hugged his daughter tightly and closed his eyes in relief. He felt like a boulder had been lifted from his shoulders."It's alright, Melody, everything's going to be alright. No one can tease you anymore

Isaac chuckled when he saw Cassius subconsciously take a step backward."Commander Romero, don't you recognize these three people? Oh, wait, I think Mr. Grannel doesn't. Let me introduce them to you," Isaac said.He pointed at the woman by the side. "This is the supreme commander's personal maid. She was the one who brought in the food on the day of the poisoning incident. So, she would know whether or not the dishes have been tampered with beforehand."Isaac pointed at the man next to her. "This gentleman here is the supreme commander's personal chef. He was the one who made all the dishes that were served on that very same day. He would be the first to know if an unauthorized person sneaked into the kitchen."Lastly, Isaac said, "And this man, the final one, is the most powerful of all. He is the gastroenterologist at the military headquarters who tested the supreme commander's organs for signs of poisoning."In other words, these three people are the most powerful witnesses who

After Isaac left, Cassius continued crying and sobbing in front of Ethan. He wailed that he had never done anything wrong since becoming the supreme commander. He only had the country's well-being at heart.He also said he never told Ethan about Albert because he was trying to keep it within the department itself. He also complained that Isaac kept getting in his way of work and that Isaac slapping him in public was the last straw."Mr. Grannel, did you hear what he said? He threatened me! He said that he wanted to see Albert and Zachary before midnight tonight. I'm the supreme commander, for fuck's sake! Why should I listen to him and get threatened by him?"Mr. Grannel, what should I do about this?" Cassius asked, giving the frowning Ethan a twisted look.Connor narrowed his eyes at Cassius. Here he went again. Cassius should have pursued a career in acting.Ethan just sighed heavily and waved it off. "I'm going to repeat the same thing. This has to do with the people from the H

Security was the weakest at the western entrance to Everest Sect. The exit led out straight to the cliffs, after all. Anyone who didn't achieve at least the Divinity Stage wouldn't reach the entrance without using up all their energy.The four guards at the entrance were chatting away at their stations. The ground was higher where they were, which meant the scenery outside was a lot nicer.There was a sudden bone-chilling wave of spiritual energy coming from the outside. One of the guards noticed it first and glanced out. But before he could speak, a blue spiritual wolf had pounced on him.Then, the wolf exploded, killing that guard at once.Elliot and Mitchell appeared first. The other guards who watched their colleague get killed summoned their powers in a hurry. But they were too late. Elliot and Mitchell got to them first and wrung their necks in half.These guards were quite powerful in the ancient martial arts world. But they were no match for anyone who achieved the Celesti

Todd had thought of this idea a split second ago. Since they were already here to bust a few people out of prison—might as well free everyone out of there.Chet might have been the only prisoner with tremendous powers, but the other prisoners were also powerful fighters from the Renascence Phase and Divinity Phase. There had to be plenty of them in The Dungeon!In fact, Todd was starting to regret his decision. He was worried about facing Altair's wrath if he learned that Todd was the one who suggested this.Isaac didn't bother about Todd anymore. He took his phone out and put on his in-ear microphone. Then, he said in a low voice, "Lupinus, where is your current location?"He opened up a GPS tracker on the phone that showed Isaac's and Lupinus' locations on the screen."Toward the southwest area, five miles out. Hurry."Isaac hummed in reply before heading toward the southwest region of Everest Sect.Meanwhile, Dragon One and his team of nine split into two teams once they were
