Isaac reminded Warwick of the incident at Diana’s birthday banquet, and his cheek started burning. He took a deep breath and threatened, “You won’t leave Aurum County alive if you hit me!”“Oh, yeah?” Isaac lit a cigarette as he walked toward Warwick.Albert and his wife held their breaths. Things would get out of hand if Isaac beat up Warwick here.As Isaac approached, Warwick felt an overwhelming pressure looming. But he held his breath and stood his ground.Suddenly, Diana lunged toward Isaac and held him back. “I’ll go with you. Don’t start another fight.”The consequences would be unbearable if Isaac beat up Warwick again.Diana’s grasp was powerful as she dragged Isaac toward the door.Albert and his wife let out sighs of relief. They felt their heartbeats returning to normal.“Isaac, if you’re a man, don’t run away like this.” Warwick was furious that Diana was willing to go with Isaac.Isaac stopped walking. He instructed, “Slap him!”Slap who?Diana swiveled on her
Diana was surprised. Then, she giggled and said, “Mom, we’re almost reaching the highway. Who can shoot us here? We’re not in a movie, you know.”Diana was worried for the first ten minutes after leaving the Owens family’s house, but it had already been half an hour since they left. They were reaching the borders of Cloud City in another ten minutes. What could possibly happen?“You… Pass the phone to that bastard Garten. Immediately!” Jane shrieked.Diana had no choice but to do as her mother said.“Garten, stop the car immediately. If anything happens to Ana, we won’t forgive you.”Isaac frowned and was about to speak when Beefy Bob said solemnly, “Isaac, there’s a roadblock!”Diana’s heart jolted. She looked forward and saw several black figures. As they approached, she saw a team of armed officers.“Oh, dear, they are behind us too.” Diana looked back and saw several camo Jeeps a few hundred yards away, coming after them rapidly.Isaac turned behind to take a look. Then, he
“Do you think nothing will happen if you stay in the car, Isaac?” Charles shouted.Warwick stepped forward and hollered, “Garten, I give you ten minutes. My men will start shooting if you are not out of the car by then.”Albert heard him, and his face paled instantly; Jane shrieked—her eyes rolled backward, and she fainted on the spot.“Warwick, for the sake of our friendship, please don’t harm Ana. She’s innocent!” Albert begged.He knew these soldiers were under Warwick’s command—they only listened to Warwick’s instructions.“Innocent? She should’ve known the consequences when she went off with Garten.” Warwick’s eyes were cold.Albert’s heart dropped, and his legs gave way. He kneeled in front of Warwick and started to beg earnestly.Diana saw everything, and tears ran down her cheeks.“How did it come to this? Isaac, what shall we do?” Diana shouted.Isaac stared at Warwick, who was as proud as a peacock, and his eyes turned cold. “Let’s get down.”The car doors clicked o
Isaac’s slap sent Warwick spinning like a top, his rifle fell, and he was dazed.Isaac reached out again. He held Warwick by his throat and lifted him, saying coldly, “A commander of 50 thousand soldiers, huh? Fascinating.”Isaac gave him another slap. Warwick spat out a mouthful of blood.“Hey you, let our commander go immediately, or we’ll start shooting.” The man with a crew cut went down on one knee and got into a shooting position.The rest of the soldiers followed suit.Albert and Diana were stunned.How did Isaac manage to dodge the bullet at such a short distance? He even caught Warwick with his bare hands!“How could you hit me in public? You’re committing a capital offense!” Warwick roared unceasingly, his mouth full of blood.Isaac slapped him for the third time. “If your subordinates open fire, I’ll make sure you die here and now.”With that, Isaac turned around and used Warwick as a shield.The soldiers were now in a dilemma. The bullets would definitely hit Warw
Everyone was astounded, more so Warwick. He grabbed the document and read it thoroughly.“What’s the meaning of this? What’s the reason for my dismissal?” Warwick roared at Old Jackson.Old Jackson shrugged. “There’s no reason. You may leave.” He commanded the soldiers, “Squad! Fall in. Dress right, dress. Ready, front. Dismiss.”Nobody dared disobey his orders. They assembled promptly and left in their respective vehicles.Warwick and Charles exchanged a glance. Albert was on pins and needles. The turn of events was too abrupt.When Warwick and Charles turned to leave, Isaac called out, “Did I say you could leave?”The dust had not settled. Albert bolted toward Beefy Bob and pulled Diana into his car.Warwick tensed up as Isaac approached. He was bleeding from his mouth and nose. He looked around to realize the only one who could help him at that moment was Albert.“Albert, please help me hold him off.”Albert looked up to see Warwick begging him. He smirked. “My wife is unco
Outside the operating room of the best hospital in Aurum County, Warwick, whose face was bruised and swollen, stood anxiously outside the door, smoking.Hurried footsteps sounded from his right. When he turned to look, he saw Wyatt, who was pushing their family patriarch in his wheelchair, and a handful of relatives. “Warwick, how’s Charlie? How bad is it? Why are you injured too?” Wyatt looked shell-shocked.“Just what the hell happened?” Hunter asked, his eyes aflame with fury.“Father, I was careless. I didn’t expect that Garten bastard to be this skilled.” Warwick gritted his teeth.He recounted today’s events. Then, Wyatt clenched his fists and growled, “That asshole is a bully who’s gone too far. He’s treating our family as if we’re fruits for him to squash.”“Now that you’ve been suspended, what will you do?” Hunter asked with a cold expression.Warwick’s eyes blazed with murderous intent. “It’s better that I’m now suspended. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to crush that lit
The Beacon Clinic was ablaze with lights. Several luxury cars were parked outside; almost everyone in the Kane family was there.The provincial capital hospital had already classified Watson’s food poisoning case as critical. The chief doctor had simply explained that the toxins had already circulated through his body and that conventional medicine could no longer help him. All they could do was transfer him to the Beacon Clinic in hopes that holistic medicine would help.“Where is Mr. Crowe? Why hasn’t he come?” a middle-aged man sitting next to the bed roared at a few doctors wearing white robes.His name was Edgar Kane, Watson’s younger brother and the vice president of the Kane Enterprise. He shared a close relationship with his brother. When he heard about his brother’s sudden illness, he immediately rushed to the hospital with his wife and kids.“Mr. Kane, Mr. Crowe has just returned from visiting his grandchildren abroad and is still recovering from jetlag at home. We’ve alr
“Father, there’s no need to treat this patient. Ask his family to take him away,” Oliver suddenly said.Edgar was stunned. He frowned and said, “Why not? Our family isn’t short of money.”Oliver pointed at Isaac and said coldly, “All of my family’s medical centers will not take in any friend of his. From now on, Isaac is on my family’s blacklist.”All the Kanes inside and outside the hospital room looked at Isaac in unison. A heated look suddenly shone in Roger’s eyes.If the Beacon Clinic didn’t treat his father, then his father would die without question.“Isaac, you bastard, you are going to kill my father. You’re nothing but an animal,” Roger cursed.“Who is this person? How could this be? Isn’t this clearly taking away Watson’s chance of survival?”“Watson kept talking about this Mr. Garten, but who would’ve thought he would have beef with the Beacon Clinic? What a mess.”The family members began to throw accusations. Roger knew this was the best opportunity to divert atte
"Ah!" Isaac let out a low, raspy scream.It hurt so much.The suffering of spiritual anguish was just as intense as physical pain, if not more so.In an hour, the Darklord lowered the intensity of the torment to a level where Isaac was in constant pain, but not killing him."You talk too much, woman. When the barrier is lifted, I'll make sure you understand the consequences of being so talkative!" the Darklord looked at Mixandrei and spoke in a sinister tone.Then, he let out a cold laugh."No rush, I've got plenty of time to wait this out with you. It's only been a few months, and I can wait alongside you for decades or even hundreds of years. Take your time and enjoy."……After finishing the statement, he stopped talking again and just sat there, using a few methods to torment.One month…Two months…One year…Two years…......In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.Isaac's spirit was tormented by Darklord for an entire decade.Over the past ten years, Isaac ha
At that moment, his words pierced Isaac's ears like a sharp knife; it was also like a blow to Isaac.It was indeed, a spiritual blow."One day, I will tear you apart and make you regret ever being born." Isaac clenched his teeth, his face flushed, and he issued a threat."Hmm?" The Darklord furrowed his brow, clearly not expecting Isaac to have the audacity to say something like that."You're gutsy, but it's also kind of ridiculous. Do you even realize the situation you're in right now? Do you really think you can pull it off?" the Darklord responded with mocking sarcasm.Over the past two months, Mixandrei stayed within a protective shield, shedding countless tears and yelling until her voice was hoarse, but it was all in vain.She could only watch helplessly as her beloved was continuously tormented, unable to do anything under the barrier.That had just as much of an impact on her."Isaac, I don't understand what you're still holding onto. You're exhausted. Why not let go an
At that moment, he had no idea how naive his words were.The Darklord quickly transported him to a dark space to torment his soul. He was coerced to submit and become a slave, and reveal all his secrets.For the first time in his life, Isaac was experiencing such torment.It was pure torment from the Darklord!It was like being better off dead than alive."Kneel, submit to me, acknowledge me as your master, and become my servant. Otherwise, I'll keep tormenting you like this forever."The Darklord tormented Isaac's spirit while giving him orders.The Darklord appeared quite unhurried.Isaac was even threatened, with the implication that if he didn't agree, there would be some very inappropriate actions taken against Mixandrei right in front of him.Faced with that situation, Isaac couldn't hold back his anger and felt the urge to fight back.But he was too weak.The soul artifact buffed his spirit, but it only allowed him to contend with the Sacrificial Phase in its early st
"Who's there?" Isaac suddenly shouted in alarm.Someone nearby launched a surprise attack.Mixandrei was slightly slow to react but she chose to trust Isaac and prepare for battle together with him.Thud!A sharp flash of a blade cut through the void.They immediately retaliated with all their strength."King of Pyrois?" Isaac squinted, trying to identify.That person was covered head to toe in a black cloth, concealing the true appearance.The battle resumed. Isaac was evenly matched but soon another enemy appeared behind him.It was the King of Pyrois."Haha, Zegna, thanks for inviting me to help out. If I let him get away, I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life!" King of Pyrois laughed heartily."Zegna?" Isaac squinted his eyes."Could this man in black really be Zegna?"King of Pyrois and Zegna, one in front and one in back, were positioning themselves to launch an attack on Isaac and Mixandrei.At that point, the power of the soul artifact became evident once
In the recent fight, the King of Pyrois was on the weak side and it left him a bit annoyed.But it was okay.There were plenty of allies nearby."Everyone, attack!" As soon as he gave the order, two hundred guards charged continuously, wave after wave.Although they were mere mortals, the realm's blessing endowed them to pose a threat to Isaac and Mixandrei."Let's go!"Isaac wasn't willing to stay any longer. He grabbed Mixandrei and prepared to leave."You think you can get away? Not a chance!" King of Pyrois flew into the air, attempting to intercept.Isaac attempted to rip through spacetime but was thwarted because they could seal the void.That made his heart skip a beat because it would be difficult for them to leave by using the Principles of the Void."There's a gap, go that way!" Mixandrei launched an attack in another direction to enlarge the gap.Isaac followed right behind.However, the King of Pyrois was close behind, moving faster than the two of them."Get l
Just as Isaac was about to strike, a captain stopped the guard and ordered, "Don't make things difficult for them, let them in!"……"Yes." The guards behaved and followed orders.Then one of the guards whispered a threat to Isaac."Once we're in City 12, don't try any sneaky stealing. Otherwise, I'll definitely catch you!"……Isaac squinted and glanced at him as he remained silent.Isaac and Mixandrei entered the city.The streets and buildings inside the city looked just like those in the real realm.Isaac soon realized that the people living there all had a strong spiritual resilience.No wonder those guards were so arrogant. In the outside realm, anyone who dared to be that arrogant toward a high-level martial artist would be dead."The person who just allowed the two of you to enter the city without any trouble was actually the advisor. He recognized you both. The advisor would like to meet the two of you. Would two of you be willing to oblige?" At that moment, a thin
After taking action, they realized that although they could harness certain natural laws, in terms of spirit strength, the opponent was unbeatable.They simply couldn't hurt the civilians at all.Isaac kept blinking behind his opponent trying to launch a sneak attack, only to find that the opponent's spirit shield was incredibly resilient.It was impossible to break open."It's strange, does the realm really protect ordinary civilians? We can't do anything to them at all." Isaac was surprised.They were both shocked and found it unbelievable."We can't do anything to them, and they can't do anything to us either," Mixandrei spoke in a cold tone.It was clear that she was in a bad mood and upset right now.They were offended by a group of ordinary people, yet unable to do anything about them."Please, the two of you should leave. We don't welcome outsiders here. If you are truly kind-hearted, go into the city, there are places there that will welcome you!" At that point, a youn
"Just standing here and watching isn't really helpful. Let's go over and talk to them," Isaac proposed.Mixandrei, although a bit concerned, did not refuse.They walked over.Upon seeing Isaac and Mixandrei, the villagers slightly paused and did not appear overly surprised.That left Isaac and Mixandrei surprised.Wouldn't ordinary villagers be wary when they suddenly see two strangers coming to their village?"Hello, everyone," Isaac greeted.Two fishermen continued chatting casually as they worked, laughing as if nothing unusual was happening."It looks like more outsiders from other realms have arrived. Our place has been bustling lately."......Upon hearing those words, Isaac and Mixandrei were both taken aback.There were many people from other realms?What did that mean?"Hello everyone. As you can see, this is our first time in this realm, and we're not very familiar with it. We would like to learn more from you," Isaac began speaking.He maintained a calm and com
Isaac introduced."I've never heard of such a realm before, and I'm eager to go in and see it!" Mixandrei widened her beautiful eyes in surprise and exclaimed excitedly.After speaking, she reached out and touched the boundaries of that realm.But, she was pushed back as her spirit was unable to get close."Only a portion of our spirit can enter the soul artifact, and even after being enhanced by it, we're not strong enough to go inside. We might need to put all our spirits into the soul artifact, but if we do that, our bodies in the real realm would be motionless, like corpses." Isaac speculated."So what? We can lie in the sarcophagus, and with the protection of the sarcophagus and the secret chamber, our true form will definitely be safe. Then our spirit enters the artifact," Mixandrei proposed."Great idea, let's do it this way!" Isaac nodded in agreement.At that moment, he felt that the coffin yard was remarkable because its defensive power was off the charts.Dreamlerq's
