Hallie's eyes widened. He gulped as he noticed the fox girl sitting on the ground, appearing dumbfounded.Jad, who was in front, was about to shout when Isaac darted toward him.Before Jad could react, Isaac was already behind him, gripping his throat with one hand."Who are you guys?" Jad spit out his question, astonished and outraged as he felt Isaac's spiritual energy fluctuations."Relax, we don't want your life. You'd better cooperate!" Isaac tightened his grip on Jad's throat.Jad wanted to resist. However, when he attempted to use his spiritual energy, the bandit behind him forcibly suppressed him.Realizing the other was stronger, he decided not to fight back.Suddenly, five powerful spiritual energy fluctuations rapidly approached from the right side. In no time, several figures arrived in the courtyard outside the room.Isaac tensed up. Hallie subconsciously lay flat on the ground, fearing that his shadow would be cast on the doors and windows by the light."Mr. Holm
"Come in! Close the door!" Jad snarled through gritted teeth.A gray-haired old man dressed in brocade rushed into the room, closed the door, and turned around. When he didn't see the fox girl, his smile instantly froze."Go find the deputy general right now! Let him lead the men in capturing those two bandits! They were so bold to rob my woman and money from my room! I'd like to know who they are!"Paxton's face twitched uncontrollably. Did someone snatch the fox girl and money away?"Y-yes, I'll go find him right away!""Don't make it public. Investigate it secretly," Jad reminded.When Paxton hurried to the general's mansion to wake up the deputy general, Isaac and Hallie were already outside the city, riding on their Storm Chasers.As some black-clad men rushed out of the general's mansion, Isaac and Hallie had already disappeared into a dense forest.From dusk till dawn, they kept rushing toward Otto Mountain.According to their planned route, they arrived in the afternoo
They stared at each other for a few seconds. Through Isaac's eyes, the fox girl didn't see the greed and desire she often found in other men. In his eyes, she appeared to be nothing without any emotional fluctuation. Seeing her nod slightly, he gently asked, "Do you have a name?""Yes, my name is Rosalie Blount," the fox girl replied softly.Isaac nodded. Then, he sat cross-legged on the ground, placed his sword in front of him, and began to meditate.After a long while, Hallie returned to Isaac's side with some food and clothes."Mr. Garten, have some food first. Beauty, join us too," Hallie spoke, handing Rosalie a roasted pork rib.She shook her head as she glanced at the greasy pork ribs."Hmm, don't foxes eat meat? Are you a vegetarian? This stuff is really tasty," Hallie said in confusion.Isaac frowned and glared at him. He then took a large piece of clothing and handed it to her, saying sternly, "Put on these clothes, Rosalie. I asked Hallie to buy them big to hide you
Abruptly, Kingsford slammed on the stone table with great force. There was a loud crash, and the table shattered into pieces."Fabrice, you scoundrel! How dare you trick me!"When the surrounding servants heard his ferocious roar, they knelt in terror.Kingsford had suspected something was wrong when Raelynn suddenly changed her mind at Zimmerman Mansion the last time. The next day, Rhett formally sent someone to tell him that the wedding would be postponed.That matter intensified Kingsford's suspicions. Despite Fabrice's insistence that Isaac had been burned to death, Kingsford still sent Carrick and Morgan to Southcoln City.Starting with that mailman, they followed the trail to the tavern. To their surprise, they discovered that Isaac was indeed still alive."Rhett Zimmerman, it seems you can't bear to hurt your grandson," Kingsford murmured.Sneering, he looked up at the sky fiercely and coldly. "Fine then. But don't blame me for not holding myself back."Kingsford stood u
Yoav sat in the main seat in Zimmerman Mansion's front hall. To his left was Rhett, who appeared serious and frowned, and to his right was Kingsford.Next to them were Zaid, Vince, Alcott, and Raelynn.Zaid was also serious. He didn't know Yoav's exact identity, but he noticed that the two subordinates behind Yoav wore gold Regency badges.Aside from the King, the Crown Prince, the Regent, and the Chief Minister, anyone from the Regency had the authority to detain anyone from the Kingdom of Vriweth. They could even execute those who resisted arrest on the spot.Perhaps Yoav was in a higher position than those two people with the badges.Vince, who sat next to Rhett, occasionally glanced at the person in the main seat. His palms were full of sweat."What brought you here, Mr. Garcia?" Rhett looked up and glanced at Yoav.Yoav casually glanced at Rhett and said lightly, "Half a month ago, a brazen bandit kidnapped the saintess, Queenie Martinez, in Heavenly Eagle City."You've se
When Raelynn looked up, she found her elder brothers and her father all watching her intently. She said dimly, "I'll marry Kingsford after one month."After saying that, she stood up and walked outside.There was no discussion or argument, only silence and a sense of helplessness."Zaid, you go and talk with Kingsford tomorrow morning. Let's set the wedding for mid-next month," Rhett instructed, slumping weakly into his chair.As Zaid and Vince got ready to leave, Rhett spoke up, "Hold on a moment."They turned to look at their father, who had his eyes closed. He said, "You both know your sister well. She married Kingsford for our sake.""Starting tomorrow, your sons are only allowed to move around the backyard and the arena. They're not permitted to go outside Zimmerman Mansion."The two of them were startled for a moment. Then, they nodded and walked out.Alcott scratched his head in frustration and approached Rhett. Just as he was about to speak, Rhett interjected, "Take som
Isaac noticed his Storm Chaser's sudden uneasiness and uncontrollableness. It then dashed madly toward the dense forest on the right.The other two Storm Chasers also whisked Hallie and Rosalie away. Within the blink of an eye, they had moved over 300 feet."Get off now! Jump down!" Isaac shouted. He promptly jumped off the Storm Chaser and leaped toward a grassy mound in the middle where the grass was sparser.Hallie and Rosalie quickly jumped down and headed over to meet Isaac.A deep, urgent, and strange noise soon reached their ears. The three Storm Chasers screeched as they dashed off in different directions.Within less than ten seconds, their uneasy cries abruptly came to a halt.The entire forest became so quiet that the three of them could only hear the sound of their heartbeat and breathing."Something's wrong. Something's coming." Hallie began to sweat on his forehead, his eyes darting anxiously around. He gripped a long sword and was ready to unleash his spiritual en
Had they encountered a fifth-ranked demon beast? But they hadn't even reached the core area!"R-Rosalie, are you sure you saw it right? That's only a large black snake. I-is it fifth-ranked?" Hallie walked over, wiping the sweat from his forehead and asking urgently.To be honest, he hadn't seen most of the demon beasts. He only knew about fierce beasts from hearsay or books.At this moment, Hallie believed he was doomed."It can't be wrong. I had seen it before when on a walk with my patriarch. I'm familiar with most of the demon beasts in Otto Mountain," Rosalie explained urgently.Isaac scanned the surroundings cautiously. However, after retreating into the bushes and disappearing, the Black Sonic Python didn't attempt another attack.It wanted to eat Rosalie, but its attack failed, and now it had disappeared.Isaac looked up at the sky beyond the hundreds-of-foot-tall tree. It appeared that night was about to fall."Hallie, find a high ground right now. Also, gather some dr
