Isaac slammed on the brakes. He then spun around the black car in the middle of the road and accelerated toward his destination.The car sped through the downtown area. A 15-minute journey took less than eight minutes to complete. They soon arrived at the Royal Hotel's entrance.He swiftly rushed into the elevator with Emily following closely behind.Pressing the button for the top floor, the elevator began its rapid ascent."That 'Esmeralda' died two days ago. She suddenly came back to life this morning. Is it a coincidence?" Isaac suddenly spoke deeply as the elevator ascended.Emily frowned and looked at Isaac. "Are you saying that the current Esmeralda is...""I'm not sure, but we have to try something." He had just finished speaking when the elevator doors opened.As they stepped out of the elevator, they saw nearly 20 black-clad men standing in two rows in the spacious corridor.When the men saw strangers emerge from the elevator, they approached Isaac and Emily with caut

Emily didn't know where Isaac was taking Esmeralda either, but she thought Isaac was doing something in vain.Isaac drove the car, while Esmeralda and Emily sat in the back seat. They quickly drove toward the northwest of the city.Over 20 minutes later, Emily noticed Isaac heading toward Mt. Soulin.It was early morning by the time the car arrived halfway up. The night wind blew cold as they climbed the mountain. Esmeralda's speed was slow, and she looked cold with her arms crossed.Isaac forgot that she was no longer the Nimja Lord, but rather an ordinary little girl. He slowed down and let the spiritual energy in his body disperse, forming a barrier on the left side to block the night wind.The scarlet spiritual energy in the night wasn't noticeable, but Esmeralda could sense the cold wind from the left suddenly decreased a lot. She curiously glanced at Isaac a few more times.After nearly an hour, the three arrived in front of Soulin Mansion.Under the moonlight, the ancient

Isaac was unfamiliar with the term Black Dragon, but it seemed like he had heard it somewhere before."Are they here to cause trouble?" He lit a cigarette and looked at Emily.She sneered. "Just a bunch of ignorant thugs. Let them come."Just then, Isaac's phone vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was Connor's number.He frowned, turned around, and walked inside while picking up the call."Mr. Hart, what's the matter?" Isaac asked."Isaac, have you finished with your affairs over there? There's a problem with the Mt. Celeste drilling project." Connor's voice came with a hint of urgency."Go ahead." Isaac's frown deepened.Connor quickly explained the situation. After hearing it, Isaac showed a hint of coldness."Over a hundred people responsible for operating the four drilling rigs have all disappeared?"After getting a definite response from Connor, Isaac knew Morgan's people had discovered something and captured all the personnel operating the drilling equipment.More

Stephen couldn't have imagined that Haddon had finished his conversation with Kelvin just a minute before he called Haddon.Although Kelvin held no official position within the administrative system, every high official knew Duncan had executed Ashton.So, the remaining Kelvin was the kingdom's future ruler. Only based on that, no one dared to disrespect him.Kelvin had only said one thing to Haddon during their call. Certain forces within the kingdom were too rampant, especially groups like the Black Dragon. They should be dealt with according to the law.So, while Haddon was pondering how to deal with the Black Dragon, Stephen's call arrived unexpectedly.If Haddon didn't know how to pick between a thug leader and the future lord of the kingdom, he wouldn't be worthy of his position.When Stephen and his men were being escorted away, Isaac's private jet had already taken off from Rippan Capital Airport.Isaac frowned as he stared out the window at the sky."Don't worry about

Although obedience to superiors was ingrained in the guardians' hearts, Barrett, regardless of his strength or experience, was among the first group to follow Gael. He had initially looked down on Isaac. He thought Isaac was too young and not strong.Not long ago, the guardians were filled with confusion and anxiety after Donovan and Rose's deaths. Those emotions still lingered in their hearts.However, after Barrett learned about Isaac's plan on the plane, he realized that Isaac's thinking was far beyond his expectations.At 4:30 am, Barrett and his companions stood in the training ground of the base. Isaac stood in front of them. The cold wind blew constantly on their faces."You may not have understood me well. But I won't bet your lives," Isaac said seriously."Remember my words, Barrett. No matter what happens, the priority is to stay alive. Secondly, find out where those missing people are being held. If you guys find them, you'll be rewarded!" "Yes, Mr. Garten!" The five
