When the maid saw Isaac, she turned pale with fear and immediately sat up in panic."Uh, Mr. Garten, why didn't you knock... uh, don't get the wrong idea. This girl said her master always needed her to warm the bed before sleeping. I didn't even take my clothes off."Do you not believe me? Look." Hallie threw off the blanket, revealing that he had indeed slept in his clothes."Did you think we're staying here to enjoy ourselves?" Isaac glanced over coldly.Hallie was stunned. "What else then? What else could we do?""This mansion is so huge. It surely has some gold and jewels hidden somewhere."Upon hearing that, Hallie immediately jumped out of bed excitedly. "How could I forget that? Mr. Garten, I'll go look for it right now!"Hallie rushed out of the room and saw the four guards already standing properly outside the door.Isaac walked out and said, "Pick the valuable items. At daybreak, take out to be exchanged for gold or silver notes. Hurry up!""Alright, I got it!" Halli
Before dawn, there were already over 20 large boxes stacked in the backyard.Hallie and four guards gathered three handcarts. They worked from dawn until noon, making about eight trips back and forth to get everything done.At that moment, Isaac and Evie were bathing in the sunshine in the courtyard. After a heavy snowfall, it was a rare sunny day. The snow on the eaves was melting, causing water to drip down.Isaac held a letter. After reading it, he squinted, tore it into pieces, and tossed them into the nearby well."We've made a big fortune, Mr. Garten! Oh my gosh!" Hallie's excited voice came from outside.He ran in from outside, carrying a bag and accompanied by four others, all in a rush. Despite being drenched in sweat, he was still trembling with excitement."What's up?" Isaac glanced sideways."Guess how much money was exchanged?" Hallie whispered mysteriously.Seeing Isaac frown, Hallie paused and immediately signaled. "We got 67 crystals."A single crystal was wort
After nightfall, Isaac and Evie bid farewell. Then, he took off from the yard and sped off toward the northwest.Soon after, Tavon Doyle quickly walked into the palace. He bowed toward Ceolmund, who was half-lying on a dragon bed being massaged by four beautiful palace maids. "Your Majesty, Isaac has left.""Are you sure?" Ceolmund immediately sat up.Tavon nodded. "I can sure. The city sentries reported that they saw Isaac flying toward the northwest."The spies outside Earl Beischel's mansion have also reported back. I've calculated the timing. It aligns perfectly. Now, it's only Hallie and that crazy woman left in the mansion.""Well done! Tavon, I'm entrusting this task to you. But don't let anyone else know about our meeting. Take the experts from House of Custos with you!"After succeeding, secretly escort them to the palace. By tomorrow morning, Lord Hackworth's people should arrive," Ceolmund murmured.Tavon nodded and immediately walked outside.Ceolmund's eyes flashed
Tavon widened his eyes with shock. After leaving last night, he had secretly positioned spies around Earl Beischel's mansion.He saw Isaac fly out from the backyard, heading straight northwest.The guards by the city gate confirmed it as well. Isaac had truly left. How had he come back?"I-Isaac Garten, don't get me wrong. I-I just wanted to invite Mrs. Garten...""It's useless to argue!" Isaac roared, leaping over 30 feet off the ground and diving toward Tavon in the corridor below.A wild and overwhelming aura rushed toward Tavon like a massive flood. He quickly dodged and ran, crashing through the door of the room behind him. He dashed into Hallie's room, attempting to escape from the back.With a loud crash, he burst through the window. But in the next second, a giant golden hand appeared, grasping his throat tightly.Isaac radiated a wild, golden spiritual energy, pressing down on Tavon. The latter couldn't break through, and his breathing was also obstructed. His body bega
Ceolmund squinted sharply and looked over at Tavon.Tavon dropped to his knees, shaking all over and too scared to meet Ceolmund's gaze.Suddenly, from the right side of the palace, some powerful spiritual energies approached. A group of tall men, all dressed in identical black woolen coats, descended from the sky and landed in front of Ceolmund."Isaac, do you think you alone can deal with the entire Kingdom of Northwing?" Ceolmund said sinisterly, squinting at Isaac.Isaac didn't speak. His spiritual energy abruptly became extremely violent, and flashes of golden light appeared in his eyes.The surrounding guards, the experts from the House of Custos on the steps, and even Ceolmund all began to feel Isaac's increasingly terrifying aura."Then let's give it a try!" Isaac suddenly roared and leaped into the air.As he leaped into the air, he swung his Skyrend Sword multiple times, sending several golden sword beams toward the guards ahead.The sword's spiritual energy burst for
Ceolmund realized that there was nothing more he could do to resist at this point.An intermediate-stage Divine Phase expert was nothing to Isaac and was easy to kill.The House of Custos was the institution in the Kingdom of Northwing with the most powerful individuals, but now most of them were dead. It was important to understand that cultivating or recruiting a strong expert in the early stages of the Divine Phase required an immense amount of resources."I was wrong!" Ceolmund slowly uttered.The people behind him, including Seward and several experts, were stunned. They didn't expect their king to kneel and admit his mistake to Isaac."Where did you go wrong?" Isaac asked, looking at him coldly."The mistake lies in shielding Deveraux and having improper intentions toward your woman," Ceolmund replied softly.Isaac squinted slightly as if he were deep in thought."Then kill him now," he suddenly spoke, pointing toward Seward behind him.Seward's eyes widened as he saw Ce
Ceolmund was startled and nodded frantically.The next morning, the people sent by Clyfford arrived at the palace. There were four of them, all hailing from the Guardian Division of the Kingdom of Vriweth.Ceolmund followed Isaac's instructions. He found a female prisoner in the jail, dressed her up, and handed her over to the other party.Despite being warmly hosted by Ceolmund for lunch, the four of them quickly departed to report back to the Kingdom of Vriweth after capturing the person.As the sun set, it started snowing heavily again. Isaac put on his wool coat and wrapped it around Evie. Standing on the steps, they watched the heavy snowfall before them.Neither of them spoke. They were both silently cherishing the brief moment that belonged to the two of them. Soon, the sound of horses and carriages came from outside. A group of elite soldiers entered and stood on both sides of the courtyard.Kyler, dressed in a long red-purple robe, dashed in from outside.He quickly wal
Overall, the Upper Martial Realm was much larger than Earth, though Isaac didn't know exactly how much larger.Judging by the scale on the map, the Black Desert was as large as hundreds of miles wide from north to south. It was over 1,000 miles long from east to west and lay between the Kingdom of Northwing and the Kingdom of Easteria.Isaac, enveloped in golden spiritual energy, was flying swiftly toward the northwest at high altitude.Setting off from the Kingdom of Northwing, he could reach the edge of the Black Desert after flying for a day. After that, he would need to elevate his flight altitude.Clyfford assigned himself the "task" of killing the enemy's commander, Elon Ramirez. Even if Isaac didn't think anything, he knew it was nearly an impossible feat.That was an individual who could compel the commander of the Kingdom of Vriweth to lead soldiers into battle and yet find himself in a passive and trapped situation. It implied more about Elon's military prowess than his
