Edgar’s eyes widened. Then, he shook his head vigorously and said, “Mr. Garten, you sure have a sense of humor. Roger is Watson’s son; how could he…”“If you stay tonight and be on the lookout, you’ll know whether what I’m saying is the truth or otherwise. If Roger truly did it, then tonight would be his last chance to do something. As his uncle, you must stay,” Isaac said in a low voice.Edgar would never have believed this in a million years—how could a son kill his father? But at the same time, he found his brother’s food poisoning a little fishy.“Alright, I’ll do as you say. I’ll find a place to watch over Watson’s hospital room.”Isaac nodded before rolling up his window.At 3 am, Edgar found a room opposite his brother’s room. He shut off the lights and trained his gaze on the opposite room.As he watched Roger and his girlfriend, Daisy Merck, sit by the bed while on their phones, he began to feel sleepy.Suddenly, he saw Roger get up, walk to the window, and draw the cur
The fruit knife lodged in Edgar’s lower back was still dripping with blood. Roger pushed him to the ground, and Daisy knelt beside him, both her hands pressed tightly over his mouth and nose.The loud noise from behind startled the couple. When they turned their heads, they had the living daylights scared out of them.Beefy Bob darted forward, grabbing Roger’s shoulders and shoving him aside.When Beefy Bob stood up, Daisy’s entire body was engulfed in his enormous shadow. She was so terrified that she immediately let go and scrambled backward.On the hospital bed, Watson watched everything unfold with wide eyes as he gulped big mouthfuls of air.Isaac walked over and put the oxygen mask back on. He patted Watson’s shoulder and said, “Old Kane, stay calm. You can wait until you recover before handling this.”Watson looked at Isaac, the oxygen mask fastened to his face, and tears began to flow incessantly. He had never thought that his own son and his new girlfriend would ever try
A chill crossed Isaac’s eyes. “Oh, it was the Mercks. Make these two kneel here until Watson recovers, and we’ll take care of them after that. Keep an eye on them!” Isaac gave Beefy Bob a glance before turning around and walking out.What surprised him was that Allen would actually use the “sex trap” to mess with Roger. He must have racked his brains to come up with this one. After breakfast the next day, Isaac sat on the sofa reading the news. When Allegra came downstairs, he noticed that she was wearing a new green pantsuit and had put on some makeup.She seemed to be in great spirits. She was even smiling unconsciously.“You seem to be in a great mood today,” Isaac said with a smile.Allegra rolled her eyes, saying, “The new company has been registered. Mom said we’re having our first board meeting today, which I need to attend.”“Congratulations, Ms. Booth.” Isaac laughed.“Don’t tease me. The money is borrowed from Mr. Kane Sr. We need to work hard on building the new bus
Isaac didn’t know about Allegra’s predicament at the new company. He was currently at the Beacon Clinic. Watson was now awake and in good spirits.In the hospital room, Edgar, whose back was bandaged up, looked pallid. He stared at Roger and Daisy, who were kneeling at the foot of the bed.“Watson, how should we handle these two animals?” Edgar turned to look at Watson, who sat up.Watson sighed. He looked at Isaac, who was smoking off to the side, and asked, “Mr. Garten, what do you think?”Roger and Daisy had been kneeling the whole night, but even now, they didn’t feel a hint of sleepiness. They simply watched the smoking man in unison.It was because they knew that their fates lay in his hand.“Old Kane, this is your family matter. I don’t want to give a say in this issue.” Isaac smiled slightly, blowing a smoke ring.“Edgar, call law enforcement. Let the law punish them for attempted patricide.” Watson waved his hand.When Roger heard this, his eyes popped open. He bowed b
“Yes. The Gould family is comprised of trash human beings. They took Allegra’s 60 million dollars to start a business, but they only gave her the logistics manager position. Allegra is fuming right now,” Eugene said, gnashing his teeth.Ever since that incident, a rift had formed between him and Margaret. As for the Gould family, he had never liked them anyway.Isaac went to the bedroom upstairs. When he pushed open the door, he saw Allegra crying on the bed.“Ally, I know what happened. Don’t be sad. When your mother is back, I’ll talk to her.” Isaac wanted to pat Allegra on the shoulder, but he stopped himself halfway.Allegra turned around, face streaked with tears. “What’s the point? My uncle is the legal representative. Any changes to the legal representative or upper management require his approval signature. I should have listened to you…” She began to sob even harder.At that moment, her phone began to buzz next to her.When she saw Margaret’s number, she dried her tears
Joe was from Seascape, like Old Brooks. When he used to follow Edward back then, he would frequently call Old Brooks for his taxi services. Now that Old Brooks was the big boss of Cloud City, he had been telling everyone that he and Old Brooks were good friends.And this was one of the reasons that Edward had chosen to come here for dinner.No one could get into fights at the Hibiscus Pavilion, no matter what happened. Big Anthony had set this rule last time, and it had remained intact despite the change in ownership.Joe pointed at Isaac, so furious that he was shaking. “Punk, did you know how Old Brooks squashed Big Anthony with just one hand? If you don’t want to die, get on your knees immediately and apologize to Mr. Gould.”Allegra tugged on Isaac, looking panicked. She whispered, “What are you doing? How can you start a fight here? Hurry and apologize to my uncle. The Hibiscus Pavilion is no joke.”When Isaac didn’t move, Joe said, “Alright, punk. Just wait.”As soon as he
There was the piercing sound of blades clanging. Two of the thugs’ sabers got swept into Isaac’s swift movements and fell to the floor.After a few dull thuds, Isaac launched a kick, and five of the thugs instantly flew backward, falling to the floor with a wail. As the remaining three debated withdrawing, a silver light suddenly blinded them, followed by a sharp pain in their thigh. When they looked down, they saw their flesh had been split open, and blood was gushing from the wound. They collapsed onto the floor with a cry.Everyone in the private room was stupefied except for Edward, who burst into ferocious laughter. “Garten, you really laid a hand on them, huh? You must be sick of living already.”Andre took a step backward, pointing and sneering at Isaac, “Punk, just wait. You’re going to die tonight. Mr. Brooks, come quick! There’s a shithead here who hurt eight of our men, and he specifically asked you to come here. Yes, we have a tough one on our hands.” Then, he gritted hi
Everyone’s eyes popped open. Bob?Then, Beefy Bob’s burly silhouette surfaced in everyone’s mind, including Allegra’s.Not that damn fatso again!Blood was leaking from Edward’s mouth. He was gritting his teeth so hard that they almost cracked.Isaac smiled, pointing at Andre. “Old Brooks, this subordinate of yours just doesn’t cut it. Just now, he asked eight people to barge in here with knives, threatening to crush me. We’re past the era of slashing and killing. If you’re hiring a manager, can’t you find someone who’s knowledgeable, better educated, and more intelligent?”Old Brooks’ mouth twitched violently. He chuckled and nodded, saying, “Thanks for the advice, Mr. Garten. We’ll definitely work on that.”Little did everyone know that when he first heard Andre had threatened to break Isaac’s limbs, all the hairs on his back stood up. He turned around and pointed at Andre.The men in black outside the door immediately understood. They surged in and grabbed Andre.“My pet Tib
"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
