Even though Evie had already given him enough warning about his captive, Cody still thought that he did not need to be afraid of him, or anyone else, for that matter. After all, he was the assistant head of division in the South Division of Astraeus. He was powerful, too.Astraeus was the most powerful organization in the Nine Continents. Who would dare to go against them? Moreover, Isaac was the one who massacred the entire Divine Fists School. If they didn’t deal with him, the other three powerhouses on Mt. Equest would hand him over to the division head or even someone more powerful. How else would he fulfill the job he was paid for, then?That was why he had convinced Avon and Charlie that they had to fight whoever was this who was trying to save Isaac. They needed to bring that murderer to justice as soon as possible.However, he did not expect them to attack before he could finish his introduction.“Protect Cody!” Charlie yelled before leaping toward Lupinus.Avon did not lag beh

However, Cody was stubborn even after hearing what Evie said. He shouted arrogantly, “If you kill me, Astraeus will surely hunt you down!”There was a crack as Elliot treaded on Cody’s neck and broke it.Avon and Charlie, still kneeling while several Dusk Soldiers held them down, witnessed this scene and shuddered, their hearts almost leaping out of their bodies.Evie’s eyes widened and threateningly gleamed as she stared at Elliot, saying coolly, “You people from the Temple of Drakon are as aggressive as always in taking care of business, I see. Do you think Astraeus is a pushover?”“Anyway, he’s dead now; talk to my boss if you have other concerns.” Elliot shrugged innocently. Then, he turned around and signaled the others, saying, “Find the key.”“I have it! I have the key,” Avon shouted at the top of his lungs before the Dusk Soldiers could move.Isaac walked out a short while later alongside Beefy Bob and Harry.He looked pale, still weak from the effects of the dissiparot

Isaac and Beefy Bob dropped by Riverview and were dumbfounded to find the house in a mess. Everything, including the gate, was a wreck.Paint splattered every inch of the house; they could smell the volatile odor even before they entered.Isaac had no clue about the incidents of the night after they took him away, but he had a sense of foreboding. He immediately called Black Phoenix to locate Allegra and came to her side at the double.His heart ached when he saw Allegra in a hospital gown, burying her head between her knees and crying her eyes out while blood seeped through the bandage around her leg.“Ally, what’s wrong?” a deep and concerned voice rang out just beside Allegra.Allegra jolted and looked up, her eyes teary. She paused when she recognized Isaac.“I’ve told you so many times not to fight. You always think you’re better than others. Do you know how worried I was?” Allegra wept as she punched Isaac.Isaac felt touched. Allegra had never changed since day one; her b

Isaac had no idea Reece would be so furious as to use his authority against him without reporting to his superior.Although the core fighters of Astraeus were not in the divisions, the South Division itself housed more than 100 Cherubs at the Amalgamation Phase and above, with a few among them at the intermediate stage of the Amalgamation Phase.The combat strength of the division was top-tier not only in Cloud City but also in the eyes of the other powerhouses across the whole of Southland.All those around Reece could foresee the vengeful bloodshed that would occur tonight.The Dusk Soldiers were numerous, but in the eyes of the Astraeus members, they weren’t as powerful. Furthermore, it would be an ambush on Isaac straight from the start!Reece knew the Dusk Army wouldn’t be around Isaac all the time as per the rule of law. However, he could bring only 100 of his subordinates, disguised and divided into smaller units, and close in on Isaac from all directions. Isaac wouldn’t su

Sure enough, Isaac was smoldering. He looked as if he could tear them into pieces anytime.“Don’t forget, two of your men are in my hands, and those people you mentioned aren’t as important as you think!” Isaac replied in a low voice. He was saying this to protect Allegra and her father.Reece’s heart jolted; he had totally forgotten about Avon and Charlie’s safety.He started breathing rapidly, but when he thought about how Cody died, his anger got the better of him. He pointed at Isaac and roared, “Finish them off!”If he could annihilate these two, why would it matter if he sacrificed Avon and Charlie?Everyone was about to make a move when headlights shone on them.A car screeched and stopped right behind the mob. Evie, wearing a veil, got out of it. Her eyes were frosty as she hollered, “Stop!”Her sudden appearance took everyone by surprise, but Reece frowned when he saw her. Why was Evie here?Several men were already ascending the steps, ready to attack Isaac and Harry.
