In the backseat, Reece’s face was deathly pale. He wore a pained expression; his right leg was already swollen to the point where it was twice its original size. From time to time, intense pain would strike him.“My Lord, Lord Neal, you must save me. Lord Jonas is dead; Isaac killed him. The Ingot Sect and Azure Sect of Mt. Equest are no more. P—Plus, Lord Wesley, whom I invited, also lost his life on Mt. Equest. Lord Neal, you have to save me.”After fleeing Mt. Equest, Reece was afraid that Isaac would come after him, so he hid in the mountain and only came out after the sun went down.But as he was running away, his right leg was pierced by Harry’s Bloodshed Blossom Needle. So right now, he was forcefully channeling his spiritual energy to block blood flow from his right leg because otherwise, he would die.Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, Xayden still couldn’t contact Jonas. After he received this phone call from Reece, he was at a loss for words for at least ten secon

After a while, Isaac felt a small hand shakily touch his left hand beneath the covers.Isaac was instantly transported back to seven years ago, back when he and Allegra used to spend their days hand in hand. Just as he was about to respond by holding her hand back, she said quietly, “Don’t move. Let’s just stay like this, okay?”Isaac didn’t move. Allegra then added, “The parent-teacher meeting will be held the day after tomorrow. You should go with Serena.”Isaac nodded. “Okay. I know you have a lot of work, but don’t overwork yourself.”The next day, which was a Saturday, Isaac and Beefy Bob took Isabella out to play. There wasn’t any special occasion—Isabella simply said Uncle Bob was chubby, which she found amusing.Fast forward to Sunday. It was Isaac’s first time attending a parent-teacher meeting, with Allegra’s approval at that. He, the almighty lord of the Temple of Drakon, was actually nervous.“Beefy Bob, do you think the coattails look better? Or the vest?” Isaac stoo

Serena looked at Isaac in shock, then in wonder. Suddenly, she burst out laughing, pointing at Gertrude.“Haha, a foreign language teacher. What a joke. You think you can put on an act in front of us common folk? A pigeon is still a pigeon. Your genetics are hardwired into your body; no matter how many foreign cuisines you’ve consumed, you can’t change genetics.”Gertrude’s chest began to heave intensely, her face turning white. As she watched Serena laugh herself silly, she burst into tears. She pointed at Isaac and Serena, sobbing, “J—Just you wait. I’ll ask my husband to come and rip your mouths off.”She quickly took out her phone from her luxury bag and dialed a number. Stomping her feet, she cried into the phone, “Hubby, come to Prince’s school right away. I’m getting bullied at the parent-teacher meeting. They even called me a pigeon!”After she hung up, she sniffled and pointed at Isaac, roaring, “Wait here for my husband to come if you dare.”Before Isaac could answer, Is

The whole classroom was so silent that one could hear a pin drop. Isaac’s cold expression and intimidating vibe made Herbert and his wife feel like they could barely breathe.Isaac approached the couple, who then took two steps backward. “W—What are you doing?” they asked, terrified. “If you single out my daughter again, I’ll make you regret it.” A murderous look flashed across Isaac’s eyes. The Crowes felt as though they had been dunked into cold water, and their legs began to shake.At that moment, Old Brooks, who was currently in the middle of a chess game, received Isaac’s phone call. He immediately jumped out of his chair.“Mr. Brooks, what happened?”“Hurry. Get in touch with all the garages belonging to us. Mr. Garten wants a motorcade to bring his daughter home from school,” Old Brooks said to a subordinate urgently. Then, he quickly corrected himself, “Get all the black Jeeps that cost over a million dollars and are within half an hour from Carmine Elementary School. Now

“Mr. Brooks said to beat him up first.”The three men in black exchanged glances before shifting their gazes to Herbert.Seeing the three men surrounding him, Herbert began to retreat backward, yelling, “W—what do you think you’re doing? You hit my car, and now, what do you think you’re trying to do? Are you going to hit me?”“Fuck…” Before he could finish speaking, one of them punched him in the face.In the car, Gertrude hugged her son tightly, not daring to make a sound. The other parents inside the school watched as the three men began to hit and kick Herbert, but none of them came to his rescue.Meanwhile, Isaac had already reached home. He was still unaware that Herbert had gotten beat up. All he could think of was how to throw a big birthday bash for Isabella. When Serena walked into the living room, she grabbed onto Isaac’s arm and said, “Isaac, c—can you really get the Backlane Boys to come to Cloud City?” When Isaac saw Isabella regard him and Serena curiously, he sa
