Everyone was stunned to see this. Even the Martin brothers were flustered when they realized that it was George.Wasn’t this George Crowe, the famous founder of Beacon Clinic? Everyone knew him as the city’s best doctor. What was up with him?Their eyes gradually shifted to Isaac.“Get out of my way,” Isaac said coldly, careful not to wake Isabella, who’d fallen asleep on his shoulder.George lifted his head and looked at Isaac. His eyes had no more light, but his face was a wet, sobbing mess. He mumbled, “Isaac, please, spare my family and me! I’m sorry! I’m so sorry for everything we’ve done. Please, I’m begging you, let my family go!”Once he was done speaking, George crawled forward and hugged Isaac’s leg as he continued sobbing.With the exception of Isaac, everyone else’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Wasn’t this the high-and-mighty founder and owner of Beacon Clinic? He was also the father of the man behind Crowe Pharmaceuticals. How could he behave in such a way?Jus

After hanging up, Isaac lit up a cigarette. He was confused.There were some things he was quite familiar with regarding Astraeus. Or, rather, those were common sense to him.For example, Astraeus was an ancient and conservative organization. Evie was the precious daughter of the current division head, and she wasn't allowed to take a position within the organization.This was a condition set by the first-ever Supreme Leader of Astraeus, and it was supposed to maintain a fair and just distribution of power within the organization. Although the Head of the South Division wasn’t exactly the most powerful authority within Astraeus, it was a fairly well-respected position in the martial world.They would be able to mobilize more than ten post-transformation phases and have the power to induce the Amalgamation Phase in the top martial art fighters. Besides that, they also held the power and authority to determine the lives and deaths of the martial sects within their jurisdiction.It was no

The insulation box was hurriedly passed over to Evie. The sect representatives all watched with enlarged eyes.When she opened the box, the unmistakable aroma of the bleep cookies started wafting out. Evie’s eyes immediately filled with tears. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, her lashes trembling softly.She was all too familiar with this smell. She knew that this was the work of the shop owner in the little town of Fakmir.She took out a cookie from the box, lifted the veil from her mouth, and took a small bite of the cookie under the watchful eyes of everyone in the room.She closed her eyes as she chewed. Her tears started rolling down her cheeks.That winter she spent in a little hut with a stranger from five years ago was still deeply embedded in her mind.“Everyone, this is the best gift I’ve ever received today,” Evie said, putting the cookie back down. She’d only taken a small bite, but her veil was already wet with tears.She opened her eyes and looked at Isaac with

She didn’t think that Isaac would be here today. She also hadn’t expected that Raven would want to set up a new sect here on Mt. Equest.There was a law within Astraeus that allowed anyone to set up any sect that they liked wherever they wanted, as long as they managed to fulfill all the rules and obligations. However, there weren’t many people who managed to fulfill them.After all, the local sects were possessive and extremely protective of their resources and territories. There already weren’t many ancient martial arts practitioners to start with anyway, so there also weren’t many suitable candidates who would set up their own sects.Unless it was someone like Raven, who came from a powerful background and simply resorted to stealing resources from others.After hearing what Evie had to say, Raven burst out in laughter. He waved his hand at Isaac and said, “Heard that, fucker? Ms. Lopez just told you to fuck off and mind your own business!”Isaac then looked at Evie and said coldly,

Everyone gasped and turned to look at Isaac. There was a smug look on his face as he stared back at Cyrus.Evie immediately said, in a low voice, “Isaac, these are matters of Astraeus, and they have nothing to do with you. It’s up to me and Elder Cyrus to determine whether or not we allow another sect to be set up!”What was going through Isaac’s mind anyway? Was he going to challenge someone from the Council of Elders here openly?However she thought of it, Isaac wouldn’t have the upper hand in this situation despite his power. Based on her knowledge, the most powerful General of the Seven Armies from the Temple of Drakon was still overseas.Alexis shot Isaac a grateful look but said nothing otherwise.She had absolutely no say in a situation like this since she was nothing more than a mere sect leader. Anyone would be able to step over her back.A cold look flashed in Cyrus’ eyes. His grandson had already informed him beforehand about Raven’s arrival. He could already guess what else
