"You know that man?" Isaac followed Todd's gaze out the windshield.The man looked to be in his 50s. His hair was completely white. He looked scraggly, yet he still carried an air of elegance."Three years ago, we were both in the early stages of the Celestial Phase. I've met him a few times. He's an upright fellow. Afterward, I never saw him around much anymore. It turned out that the Everest Sect had gotten to him." Todd sighed. Then, he pushed the car door open and got down.Isaac helped Thaddaeus into a wheelchair and then headed over together with him.The five men on the steps looked over.When Richie Blune saw Todd, he was taken aback. Then, a shocked expression crossed his face."Todd?""Haha, old friend, it's been a while. It seems like you've had it pretty rough." Todd laughed out loud and slapped Richie on the shoulder.Then, he turned around and pointed at Isaac with a smile. "That's Isaac Garten. He's young, but he's capable. He was the one who released all the p

Isaac lit a cigarette. He thought for a moment before taking another one and handing it to Thaddaeus.Thaddaeus waved his hand. Then, he wheeled himself to the floor-to-ceiling windows."At this point, I can't ask you to do anything else. I just hope you'll treat my daughter better." Thaddaeus' voice was very calm. He sounded like a wise elder educating the young ones.Isaac breathed out a smoke ring and replied, "Don't worry. Of course I won't hurt my woman. Is there anything else you want to say to me?"At that instance, Thaddaeus wheeled back over. He gazed seriously at Isaac and said, "Right now, you can't be too flashy. If you can avoid the Everest Sect, then avoid them.""What if I can't?" Isaac frowned.Most of the time, it wasn't even him who provoked them. On the contrary, they were constantly hunting him down."The True Martial Families are extremely powerful. Yet, do you know why they all listen to the Everest Sect to some extent?" Thaddaeus asked seriously.Isaac wa

Samuel's words shocked everyone, especially Caesar.Didn't he insist that he would fight Isaac alongside the Nortons?Was he a fence-sitter who was easily swayed?Channing leaped to his feet. He glared at Samuel coldly and yelled, "Sir Samuel, what's the meaning of this? Why didn't you mention the Ashleigh clan's losses earlier?"Then, he turned to Cesar. "Sir, it seems like the Ashleigh clan really suffered major losses. So, I think the Norton family and the Everest Sect's joint forces would be more than enough to handle Isaac, right?"When Caesar heard this, he almost fainted.Just the Norton family and the Everest Sect would be enough?After the deaths of Nigel and a few hall leaders, the Everest Sect now had less than ten Celestial Phase martial artists. This also included those who were meditating in seclusion.The Norton family even lost their Divine Stone fragment. Where did Channing find the audacity to say such a thing?However, Caesar kept those thoughts inside his h

Todd left anyway. He went off in a hurry with the sack that he'd brought with him.Isaac was very shocked by Diana's phone call. She'd been doing great before this. Now that Albert had been promoted to major general, her social status had also increased.If she wanted to rise through the ranks within the force, she would have an easy time. So why did she suddenly resign?As Isaac left the house, he bumped into Heath on a jog outside."Mr. Garten, I thought I saw Todd leave earlier," Heath said with a natural smile."I don't know where he's going. He said he's on the hunt for salami." Isaac waved his hand and got in his car.Watching Isaac's car speed off, Heath frowned while deep in thought. He quickly turned around and went to his new accommodations. At 9:00 pm, Isaac arrived at a supper joint in southern Cloud City.It was just a regular supper joint, but it served all kinds of local delicacies and barbecue.Because it was located near a university, it was unusually livel

Isaac didn't know how much time had passed. His head was pounding. He forced himself to sit up.Then, he felt around for the light switch. He found himself lying on a bed in a hotel room.He was stunned.When he looked out the window, he saw that it was already morning.He shook his head. He remembered going out for supper with Diana, and then …How did he end up drunk?He picked up his phone from his nightstand and dialed Diana's number. But her phone was already switched off.He then remembered that Diana said she was going to leave the country. Could she be on the plane already?He called Albert instead.Albert told him that Diana was heading to Seascape on the first flight out today. Then, she'd transit to Yatesland. He also said that she'd reach Seascape anytime soon.Groggily, Isaac put down his phone. He got out of bed to wash his face.Suddenly, he caught sight of a flash of red on the bed.Isaac was dumbstruck. What was that?He walked to the edge of the bed. He l
