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
Serena was startled. She turned, and as soon as she saw Wilson walking toward her with his bodyguards, she leaned closer to the wall in fright.Seeing Serena looking around in bewilderment, Wilson laughed. “Stop looking around. Are you wondering why there’s no one else here? It’s because I reserved the whole place! Isn’t it a pleasant surprise?”“Dad! Mum!” Serena looked toward the entrance.Her parents had just left. She hoped they could hear her.“Seemed like your parents left with their friend. There’s no point shouting—they can’t hear you.” Wilson looked proud of himself.Serena was overwhelmed by fear. She pulled out her phone and attempted to call for help.Wilson lunged at her and snatched her phone away. He threw the phone on the ground and stomped on it until it cracked.“What… do you want from me? Stay where you are!” Serena was on the verge of bursting into tears. She could see the lust in Wilson’s eyes.“What do I want? I want to be your boyfriend, to be nearer to y
"Let her be, freaking bitch. Let's go." Wilson snorted and went back to his car.Allegra was home late after registering her new company. There was still tons of work to do. She was exhausted.She was about to take her bath when she received a call."Is this Ms. Allegra Booth? Do you have a cousin named Serena Booth? She is currently admitted at Aurum Grace Hospital due to drowning. You should come now."Allegra was horrified. She changed her shoes and ran out."Ally, where are you going at this hour?" Eugene came out of his room."Serena drowned in a river. The hospital gave me a call—I'm going to check on her."Eugene was dazed. "I thought she went on a shopping spree with her family. How did she end up in a river? Hey, don't go alone. Get Isaac to go with you; he's making a call outside." Eugene advised, "It's not safe for you to drive alone at night."Isaac was making an international call and hung up immediately when he heard Allegra. They drove off in Allegra's new car.
Isaac went back. His eyes met Serena's as soon as he opened the door."Mister, I'm afraid." Serena bit her lips, tears welling in her eyes."Silly girl. He's just a thug. There's nothing to be afraid of." Isaac patted her shoulder.Serena lowered her voice, "Wilson reserved the whole cafe before my parents and I entered. I have no idea how he found out.""He reserved the whole place?" Isaac frowned.If so, there were only two possibilities; either Wilson had been stalking Serena for some time, or someone aware of Serena's plans had leaked her whereabouts to Wilson. The first scenario seemed less likely as Wilson could have acted whenever Serena was alone. Therefore, the second scenario was more plausible.Suddenly, Isaac thought of Margaret. Harper mentioned bringing Emma to the provincial capital during lunchtime."Stop worrying. I'll talk with him and demand an apology." Isaac broke out of his thoughts and smiled softly.Serena shook her hands violently. "Don't go, mister.
Isaac slapped Wilson again. Blood spurted from Wilson's nose as he fell onto the bed."Since it's your territory, everyone here should know you well, Mr. Kenne!" Isaac chuckled.Wilson's hair stood on end when he saw Isaac's smile. He was fearful. "Wh—what do you want? You'd better think thrice before you do anything, Isaac—"Isaac slapped him again."Shut up!"Wilson almost blacked out from the third slap. There was a sudden pain on his scalp as Isaac tugged his hair.Isaac dragged Wilson along by his hair all the way to the living room. He found a piece of cardboard and a pen and thrust them in front of Wilson."Write 'I am Wilson Kenne and I am a son of a bitch.'""Over my dead body! Ouch!" Wilson screamed.Isaac treaded on Wilson's ankle and pressed down harder.Wilson cried out for mercy, "Okay! Okay! I'll write it. Let me go!"Under pressure, Wilson wrote what was asked of him in horrible writing.Then, Isaac made Wilson take the cardboard as he dragged him out.Isaa
Wilson's body was as stiff as a board as he looked up at Serena. Voice raspy, he apologized, "I—I'm sorry.""I don't need your apology, jerk," Serena scolded before walking away.After Isaac and Serena left, Wilson stood up slowly. His face twisted into a menacing expression as he gasped for air."One more look from you, and I'll hunt your families down. Scram!" Wilson screamed at the onlookers hysterically.The onlookers backed up, terrified.At this moment, several black cars swooped into the hospital.The first car was a Range Rover. Behind it was a stretched Maybach and three Audis.The cars stopped right at the entrance. Twenty men in suits hurried toward Wilson. Mr. Bleu, in a black velvet robe, got off the Maybach, followed by Horace in a gray suit."Isn't that the King of Aurum County, Horace Kenne?""It is. I saw him once. Let's get out of his way. This man is intimidating."The guards pushed the crowd back.Horace and Mr. Bleu walked up to Wilson.Horace's mouth t
Edward judged the situation before him and started laughing. "You're truly amazing, Mr. Kenne! You must've enjoyed the night.""Hah! Yes, indeed." Wilson smiled coldly.Edward snickered as he presented the gift. "You must be tired. Here, I brought you some supplements. These are highly nutritional."Wilson took the gift box and thrust it on the floor. He stared at Edward before asking, "Eddy, did you do it on purpose?""What do you mean?" Edward realized something was not right."Guards! Beat him up!" Wilson bellowed. Five guards entered the room."Mr. Kenne, what is going on? Ouch!"The guards promptly started beating Edward up."Throw him out when you're done. Loser." Wilson spat and lay down on the bed.Half an hour later, Edward limped out of the villa covered in bruises. In the car, he pressed hard on his bleeding nose with one hand as he dialed Randall's number with the other.He was confused. Everything had gone well yesterday, but why was Mr. Kenne acting differently
"The extra 10 years of torment is your punishment for deceiving me, I don't like being lied to. Just hang in there for another 10 years." The Darklord clicked his tongue as mocked judgment, then turned to Isaac and delivered his remarks with a mix of reassurance and sarcasm.His words had an intent to "win over" but he kept reassuring about certain matters, obviously not wanting Isaac to develop too much of a rebellious mindset.He knew that what truly mattered to Isaac was Mixandrei, but there was no way for him to do anything to her in a short time.He needed to ensure that Isaac no longer had any reason to refuse to submit.......One year…Two years…Nine years…Ten years…Another decade passed.Including the previous decade, it was two decades.Isaac had stayed in that world for two decades.His physical body was still lying in a coffin yard, while his mind had been in this virtual world for two decades!The Darklord stood up and looked down at Isaac.Isaac was loo
"Great! Excellent!" The Darklord was overjoyed and sprang to his feet.Clearly, he valued Isaac in high regard and believed that he would benefit greatly from having such loyal and reliable help.Moreover, the secrets Isaac held were valuable.With all of that, becoming immortal wasn't difficult. Even after achieving immortality, he could dominate the Immortal Realm!"I will now merge with your spirit and plant my seed within you. Do not resist and accept it."The Darklord was eager to make Isaac completely his servant.Reaching out with a large hand, attempting to touch Isaac."Alright…" Isaac spoke wearily.He looked as if he didn't want to resist at all and just wanted to put an end to the pain as quickly as possible.At that moment, the Darklord hadn't relieved the suffering. The intention was to ensure that Isaac to not change his mind. The relentless and boundless agony served as a constant reminder.......The Darklord had already reached Isaac, and soon, Isaac would
"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
