“Mr. Marsh?” The bald man in the middle immediately recognized him.Herman and Horace both turned to look at him.“What’s the personal secretary of the big guy doing here?” Herman squinted his eyes. He suddenly had a bad gut feeling.The people on stage stood up and smiled at Louis. “Mr. Marsh, what are you doing here?”Louis stepped forward to greet them. “Oh, my boss is quite interested in this piece of land, Pegasus No. 1. He said this would impact Cloud City’s sustainable development plan for the next ten years or even in the long run, so he asked me to have a look into this. I don’t have any other intentions besides watching. You all may proceed.” Afterward, he turned around and went straight over to Garth Properties.Louis took a seat next to Allegra and even greeted Isaac next to her with a nod.When the bald man on stage saw this, he sucked in a cold breath, rubbing his chin.There must be an underlying meaning to the seat that Mr. Marsh chose!Herman’s mouth twitched
Isaac immediately dialed Allegra’s number after he got into his car. As soon as the line connected, he asked, “Ally, did you ask Andrew to pick Isabella up?”“What? No, I didn’t. Did Andrew pick Isabella up?” Allegra’s shocked voice came from the phone.“You should ask Andrew. I’ll head over to you right away.” He hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.At that moment, in the president’s office of Garth Properties, Allegra was anxiously looking for Andrew’s number to ask him when she received a phone call.When she saw it was her Uncle Edward’s number, she briefly hesitated before putting her phone to her ear.“Allegra, is your daughter missing? You must be a nervous wreck,” came Edward’s sinister voice.“H—How did you know? Were you the one who asked Andrew to pick up Isabella?” Allegra flew into a panic.Edward laughed coldly and said, “You have to draft an agreement whereby Garth Properties voluntarily relinquishes the Pegasus No. 1 tender and send it to the real e
Isaac’s heart seized. The Divine Fists School?He’d assumed it was just Andrew or Edward scheming against him; he didn’t think it was the martial arts powerhouse.“Don’t panic. I’ll…”Before he could finish speaking, his phone began vibrating in his pocket. He lifted the phone to his ear and immediately heard Warwick’s frenzied laughter.“Garten, you bastard, the little bastard child from Carmine Elementary is now in my hands. You don’t want this little girl to die, do you?”Isaac’s eyes hardened. He said coldly, “If Isabella so much as loses a hair, I’ll bury your entire family!”“Hmph, it seems I took the right person. Even now, you dare to speak to me that way? I want to see you in front of the Divine Fists School at midnight. Or else, you can find her corpse at the foot of the mountain!”After the line went dead, Isaac’s heart was still beating hard.Even when he went up against the troops of other nations, he had never felt this uneasy. He turned his head to find Allegra i
The roar was infused with Isaac’s powerful spiritual energy. When strange noises began coming from the bushes surrounding them, Harry and Beefy Bob reflexively looked around them cautiously. As they expected, there was an ambush.In front of the building, the three elders looked at Isaac in shock. The man on the horse was overflowing with power. They could have never imagined that Isaac would have barged into their gate this way.There weren’t any paved roads starting from halfway up the hill, and from that point, there were three miles of winding mountain path to traverse to reach the Divine Fists School. Typically, the Divine Fists School’s students could only walk halfway down the hill.This circumstance also preserved the purity of the martial arts powerhouses based on Mt. Equest.However, it was actually Harry’s idea to ride horses up the hill. He was the one who procured war horses from the garrison, and his doing so had saved them a lot of stamina.“Isaac, you bastard, I
A fist flew toward the round-faced elder.Upon seeing the red shadow fist coming at him, the elder’s expression changed instantly. He could sense the force imbued in this shadow fist.“How is this possible?” he couldn’t help but shout in terror.He thought that Isaac’s red spiritual energy could only be channeled by someone as powerful as him.Never in a million years did he think that this fatso in front of him could…But he didn’t have the time to think about it any longer. He crossed his arms, releasing an earth-shaking roar, and channeled all of his spiritual energy into his arms in an effort to block Beefy Bob’s punch.The air around them rippled when Beefy Bob’s Luminous Punch crashed into the elder’s arms. Immediately after, with a loud crack, both of the elder’s arms were instantly broken.“Ah!” he let out an agonized shout.Beefy Bob took the opportunity to rush forward. He threw his right shoulder, hitting the elder squarely in the chest.The elder’s mouth dropped op
The three elders of the Divine Fists School had never seen Isabella before. It was Warwick’s men who had brought the girl here. They thought that the girl was Isabella, not knowing that Warwick had played them.Isaac kicked down the dungeon door and quickly gathered the little girl into his arms. Tapping on his earpiece, he said quietly, “Black Phoenix, the rescue target was incorrect. We’ve dropped the ball. Locate Isabella right away.”“Copy.”Once Isaac had carried the little girl from the low-rise building to the front yard, he saw that the students were all on the ground, all of them seizing violently, their faces pallid.Harry’s Bloodshed Blossom Needle was a secret weapon passed down from his teacher. The needle was laced with a deadly poison that could kill without leaving a trace.On the other hand, two out of the three elders were lying on the floor. One was grabbing his chest, and the blood from his mouth spilled onto the steps.Beefy Bob and Harry stood abreast, cauti
The tremendous power that erupted from Isaac’s hands instantly broke Levi’s fingers. At once, an anguishing pain radiated from his fingers to his palm, causing Levi’s face to scrunch up.The next second, Isaac raised his right hand, a ball of red spiritual energy covering it. He roared angrily, “Soul Destroying Palm!”His right palm slammed onto the top of Levi’s head, and the spiritual energy from his hand surged into Levi’s brain like a tidal wave.Levi stared at Isaac, his gaze filled with shock and fear. He had already reached the Amalgamation Phase—he was one of the very few experts of this caliber in the entire Southland.Levi’s field of vision instantly turned red. Blood began to leak from his eyes, nostrils, and ears.He was bleeding from all orifices!Levi’s body fell to the ground like a stiff board.The lanky elder was in a daze. He rushed over, crouching over Levi’s body, and shouted madly, “Sir, are you okay? You can’t die on me, sir.”On the third floor, Warwick w
When Warwick saw the sword flying toward him, his gaze froze. He turned and took a sidestep, dodging the sword.“You asked for it. I’ll make you feel the pain of losing your flesh and blood too!” Warwick yelled, bolting to the railing with Isabella in his grip. Three seconds later, he threw Isabella over the railing and down the cliff.“Ah…” Isabella’s piercing scream rang out from the pitch darkness.Beefy Bob and Harry felt like their hearts were caught in their throats. They thought to themselves, “It’s over!”At that moment, Isaac dived toward the left, his figure blurring into a black streak.By the time Isabella fell past the first floor, Isaac had already reached the cliffside. Without any hesitation, he leaped over to catch the falling Isabella.“Sir…!” Harry screamed.Harry and Beefy Bob simultaneously darted inside the main building. Regardless of whether Isaac managed to save Isabella or not, Warwick must die!When Warwick saw Beefy Bob and Harry rush into the main
