Scott burst out laughing when he heard what Isaac said. Nelson and the brutes who came with him laughed as well.Even Emily looked weirdly at Isaac.Royal Automobile was a branded car dealer—its net worth was a few hundred million dollars. One could only dream of wrecking a shop like this.“Haha! I’ve come across many boastful youngsters to date, but you’re the only one who dared brag to this extent. Alright. Entertain me. I hope you have enough money to compensate me.” Scott folded his arms and sat on a chair.The other staff members roared with laughter. They thought Isaac was out of his mind.Those who managed to start a business like this in Cloud City were definitely not average entrepreneurs.Isaac puffed on his cigarette as he waited.About 20 minutes later, three black Jeeps screeched to a halt outside the store. Several men hurried to the door and blocked the exit.Scott stood and eyed them doubtfully.More cars arrived, and this time, approximately 20 men got out. Aa
Caleb sized up the situation and frowned when he saw the crowd of men in the store. He pulled out his phone.Caleb approached Isaac and asked sternly, “Such disrespectful behavior in broad daylight! Spill the beans. Who sent you here?”“Mr. Sutten, I did a rough estimate of the loss we suffered, and it’s at least 23 million dollars. Let’s make him pay for the damage he did,” Scott chimed in.23 million dollars! Emily’s heart jolted, and she looked toward Isaac immediately.Isaac chuckled. “Your staff did a bad job serving me as a client. Why don’t we go over this issue first?”“What’s this talk about bad service? You smashed my store into pieces! Are you expecting an apology from me?” Caleb scoffed.Aaron spoke up abruptly, “Mr. Sutten, do you remember me? We had dinner last night.”Caleb was stunned when he saw Aaron. His eyes widened, and he beamed. “Mr. Hayes! What brings you here? These men…”“Mr. Brooks sent me,” Aaron informed coldly.Mr. Brooks!Caleb was horrified. He
Caleb saw Isaac and Aaron off respectfully and did not budge until Isaac received his new car.Emily trotted up to Isaac, beaming as she offered, “Isaac, please allow me to drive you back with this car. I’d like to explain a few precautions you should take note of.”Emily put on what she thought was her most sincere smile.She never thought Isaac would be so high and mighty now. Most importantly, he was her only hope to wriggle out of her debt to the store.Neither of them, not even Nelson or Scott, dared go against Mr. Sutten’s orders.Emily started panicking when Isaac remained silent. She spoke swiftly, “Isaac, please help me. I can’t afford the compensation. Three million dollars is really… Please help me get out of this. I was at fault earlier. I looked down on you. Isaac—”“I’ll take my leave. See you later.” Isaac bobbed his head, rolled up the car window, and drove off.Emily fell into despair as the white BMW went out of sight.She rejected Isaac once in high school an
Allegra blushed and spoke up, “Uncle Harper, don’t listen to her. Meet my friend—his name is also Isaac Garten.”“Oh… what a coincidence. Hey, kid. What’re you working as?” asked Harper as he eyed Isaac.“I had just gotten out of prison and don’t have a job yet,” Isaac replied softly.Harper’s face changed instantly. He shook his head. “Make yourself comfortable.”He was happy to see his daughter and Allegra, for he knew they would not come empty-handed. His was nearly running on empty.A woman in an apron, Emma Morgan, emerged from the kitchen. She was all smiles. “Serena! Ally! Take a seat. I’ll bring out some fruits.Harper scolded her, “Fruits? Where’s my food? It’s already past noon, and I’m starving! Stop wasting my time!”Emma lowered her head and went back into the kitchen.In contrast to Eugene’s household, Harper was dominant in his. He used to be an infamous scoundrel.“Dad, stop yelling at Mom. She’s not your nanny.” Serena frowned at her father.She disliked comi
On his way down, Harper took out the gift cards and calculated the amount. He received approximately five thousand dollars—it should do for now.Once he appeared, the thugs waiting outside looked over immediately.“Harper Booth! You’ve been avoiding us and didn’t even pick up your phone. I thought you were dead.” One of the thugs gave him a shove.“Oh, Mr. Mabins. It is my birthday today, and I have many guests over. So, I didn’t hear my phone ringing. I’m sorry,” Harper apologized humbly.Mr. Mabins scoffed. “Stop wasting our time and give me the money. Our boss made it clear that you should pay by today. If you can’t pay, then you shall suffer the consequences.”Harper was stunned momentarily before saying anxiously, “Mr. Mabins, please help me stall for some time. I’ll be sure to gather the funds and hand them to your boss. I received a few gift cards today. Here, take them.”Mr. Mabins glared at Harper when he saw the gift cards. He promptly snatched the cards and flung them
Harper felt on top of the world. He bowed deeply at Edward. “Mr. Gould, my friend. You have my eternal gratitude. Thank you in advance. Don’t worry. I’m not a fool. I’ll do exactly as you say.”“Tonight at 8 pm, use any excuse to bring your daughter to this cafe. I’ll pay off your debt now.” Edward handed Harper a piece of paper and walked toward Mr. Mabins.Harper could not believe that Edward had solved his problems in the blink of an eye.Furthermore, Edward even tried to set his daughter up for a date with the Golden Boy of Aurum County. Was luck finally on their side?Harper did not go back to his house straight after. He squatted at the side and stared at the address on the paper. How could he persuade his daughter to show up for the date?After some time, he slapped his thigh as a plan formed in his mind. Then, he hurried back up.Serena saw the bruises on his face, and her face darkened. She thrust her spoon and yelled, “I told you to stop gambling, but you never listened
Warwick shook with anger. Everyone from the Owens family was mourning his son’s death, but this bastard did not bother hiding his glee.“Elder Thomas, I won’t ever forgive myself if I allow this bastard to live another day.”Elder Thomas gave him a reassuring look. Then, he pointed at Isaac and scolded, “Garten! You are guilty of injuring my students and mutilating Charles. Today, I’m here in the name of justice to punish you as you deserve.”In the name of justice?Isaac noticed the hem of Elder Thomas’ robe was flapping even though there was no wind. He sensed Elder Thomas’ spiritual energy emanating from him. Isaac stood and laughed. “How can the likes of you represent justice? Hey, old man. Here’s a piece of advice. It’s not too late to take back what you said. Those who brag about being just are usually the first to get hurt.”Elder Thomas squinted. He furrowed his brows and hollered, “You’re playing with fire.”With a powerful leap, Elder Thomas lunged at Isaac like a missi
Warwick’s eyes widened. “Goodness! How are you feeling now?”“It’s bearable, so don’t worry. I won’t break my promise to you. I, Daryl Thomas, will definitely take him down,” Elder Thomas assured. Only he knew how difficult it was going to be.Eli was right about Isaac—Isaac was not ordinary at all. Since Elder Thomas made a promise to the Owens family, he decided that he would go after Isaac again only when he was ready.The Owens family was the main source of income for the Divine Fists School. They must maintain their reputation.Warwick was relieved to hear Elder Thomas’ determination. He gritted his teeth. “Thanks in advance. When my brother returns, I’ll remind him to visit you and Mr. Hawkins.”As night fell, crowds swarmed the pedestrian streets in Aurum County.Harper, Emma, and Serena had just exited a mall. Emma’s hands were full of new clothing Serena had bought for her.Although they were not branded clothes, Emma felt happy all the same. She could not remember the
"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
