Seeing the troubled look on Isaac's face, Allegra came over and slid her arms around his neck as she chuckled and said, "What's wrong? You don't look too happy to learn that your daughter was one of the best students in Southland chosen for the month-long exchange program.""Ah, it's not that. I'm happy for her, of course. Did you say she'd be gone for a whole month?" Isaac asked, snaking his arms around Allegra's waist.Allegra immediately blushed and squeaked as she tried to leave, but Isaac held on to her even tighter."You asked for it, sweetie. Can't blame me for this," Isaac said with a laugh as he lifted Allegra up and carried her up the stairs. "Let's take advantage of the situation and fully enjoy ourselves, hmm?"On the other hand, two transits later at the Lythorne International Airport, Evie finally reached Neuport.She put on some makeup in the female washrooms, put on a hat and a pair of sunglasses, and strode out of the airport dressed like a Gen Z youngster.She then to

Isaac had long known about what Evie had just figured out. After all, the First Elder of Astraeus was only second in power to the Supreme Leader himself. Judging from the incident at the Yves household and his collaboration with the Deviant Cult, it was obvious what Glenn aimed to do.The fact that Glenn dared to kidnap the Supreme Leader's own daughter and the Second Elder himself meant that there was nothing he was afraid of anymore.Did that mean Thaddaeus was dead or incapacitated?This wasn't the first example of a mutiny in the country. There had been telltale signs here and there before each riot."Isaac, General Porter is here," Beefy Bob called out to Isaac from downstairs.Colton Porter? What was he doing here?Isaac went down and saw Colton sitting on the couch with a smiling face. As soon as he caught sight of Isaac, he got up and thanked Isaac, saying, "Thank you for helping me find the antidote, Drakon.""You look a lot better now," Isaac replied, offering him the box of

The rain just got heavier and heavier. Raindrops pelted harshly against the windowpanes as Isaac's phone started vibrating loudly in the dead of the night.Isaac got up and retrieved his phone. When he saw that it was Diana's number, he frowned softly. Next to him, Allegra hummed and flipped over in bed.Isaac answered the call and put the phone to his ear. Diana's tearful voice sounded immediately, "I—Isaac, something bad j—just happened! H—Harry is dead!"Gasp!Harry Stewart was dead?Isaac instantly jumped up from bed and asked Diana in a low voice, "Diana, what do you mean by that?"Diana just kept crying on the phone. Isaac could barely make out a word from her. So, he got out of bed and hurriedly got dressed."Are you still going out so late at night?" Allegra had just woken up, and she was staring at Isaac with a worried expression on her face."Something happened at the clinic. I have to go and see what's wrong," Isaac answered with a nod."Be careful," Allegra said with a sigh

"I don't think I've seen you before," Isaac said, giving the young man a good once-over.Allegra brought out some coffee for both of them. She sensed that they had something private to discuss, so she quickly excused herself.Mateo removed his cap and revealed his exhausted face. He said to Isaac, "My father is Sebastian Bern, the Second Elder of Astraeus. He's specifically given me instructions that if he were to ever go missing, I had to come here to Cloud City to find you."Isaac looked a lot younger than Mateo expected him to be. After all, he didn't know if he could trust his father's words."How could your father ask you to find me if he goes missing? That doesn't make sense. I have no interest whatsoever in Astraeus," Isaac said as he lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Mateo was shocked. He said through gritted teeth, "The Princess and my father have both been kidnapped by Glenn. I'm sure you know Ms. Lopez."Isaac turned to look at Mateo. There was a look in Isaac's eyes

Isaac didn't know how Mateo managed to get hold of information that even Black Phoenix couldn't get. However, it was still good news to him.When Mateo heard the order that Isaac gave out on the phone, he couldn't help feeling pumped up and excited. If they could make it in time, his father would have a higher chance of survival. He really hoped that they would be able to save him.The next morning, the main hall in Astraeus headquarters was decorated with colorful streamers. There was a celebration going on.After being told of the meeting, all of the people who were required to be present were already there before eight. There were pretty ushers showing them around the place. In actual fact, these ushers were also powerful fighters in Astraeus who had achieved the Amalgamation Phase or higher.Sharp at 8 am, everyone was there, save for Cyrus Neal. The four elders, the heads of the three families, the twelve lords, the forty-eight branch leaders, the top ten fighters in Astraeus, plu
