Thump! Thump!Isaac bounced the bat on his hand as he walked over toward Edward.“Isaac, what the fuck are you trying to do? Let me go! Get your fucking hands off me!” Edward roared.“If you dare to hit me now, the Owens will never forgive you! The Owens have promised us protection. We’re working together now. Get the fuck away from me!”Alec watched as Isaac menacingly walked toward his son. He pointed at Isaac and yelled, “If you dare to—”Thwack!The baseball bat hit Edward squarely and heavily on his ankle.“Fuck!” Edward tensed and screamed in pain as he started to tremble.Alec’s eyes doubled in size. Margaret, on the other hand, covered her eyes in fright.Isaac lifted the baseball bat again and swung it at Edward’s other ankle.Crack!“Fuck!”Edward fell to the floor and started spasming in pain, screaming like a pig about to be slaughtered.“Now that I’ve hit you, what will you do about it? The Owens family doesn’t even exist anymore,” Isaac said, turning to look at Alec.Andr
The girl kept looking at Isaac with her huge eyes. Isaac kneeled and asked, “Little girl, do you know where your home is?”The girl shook her head and said nothing.“Do you know your parents’ names?” Isaac asked, feeling a little helpless.The girl dipped her head and pressed her lips together. Her eyes teared as she said, “Dead.”“Mister, can we let Robin stay? She doesn’t have a family anymore. Can she stay with us forever?” Isabella asked, tugging at Isaac’s hand.“I can’t promise you that. Robin may still have other family members around, you know?” Isaac said with a smile as he shook his head.Where did this girl come from? Who else was in her family? He had to make sure of that first.Isaac sent a message to Beefy Bob, asking him to find out the girl’s background.As he walked into the living room, Eugene brought two chickens from the kitchen. He caught sight of Isaac and the others and immediately smiled, saying, “You’re back! We have chicken for dinner today. These are both leg
“Wait, how is this possible? It was a huge, luxurious mansion! And there were so many servants at the house too! How…”“There’s a rumor that the Owens family offended a powerful figure, and this was the outcome. Do you think it might have something to do with Isaac?”Edward laughed loudly and said, “Isaac? He’s nothing. It has got to be an accident. But what a pity! Our only hope to get rid of Isaac is the Kenne family.”He said, “By the way, Randall, I’m going to need your help dealing with Pegasus No. 1. I’ve got the signed documents from that bitch Allegra to say she’s giving up the procurement of that land.” Edward then removed the documents from under his pillow and gave them to Randall.At the same time, at a high-end club in Aurum County, Wilson sat on a large, comfortable couch as he asked his assistant coldly, “Has everything been arranged for tonight?”The assistant hurriedly nodded. “Everything has been arranged. We found one of Mr. Marsh’s old college friends, and she’s agr
Louis then called his parents and learned that his son had been in an accident and was still in the ICU. They also told him about the breaking news online.He was utterly dumbfounded when he searched the news articles online.As the chief secretary of Southland, he had no idea how his boss would react to this kind of news. However, he was sure he’d never be able to return to his job again.The most important thing to an official was their reputation. It was the main reason so many officials walked on eggshells; they needed to protect themselves and their privacy.When he got to the hospital, Louis caught sight of his wife, who looked weak and exhausted. However, she slapped him across the face before he could open his mouth.“You animal! Aren’t you happily fucking another woman? How do you even have the courage to come back here?” His wife cried angrily at him and fell to the floor in sobs.Louis could feel the devastation in her cries.“Dear, you have to believe me! I was framed! It’s
“Here, why don’t you get up first? Ally, take the kids into the house, please.” Isaac frowned as he helped Wendy up.After hearing Wendy’s story, Isaac looked at her and asked, “Do you believe that your husband is that kind of person?”Wendy shook her head and sobbed, “I was furious at first, but it didn’t make sense when I thought more about it. He rarely goes out at night, and even if he does, he doesn’t drink alcohol. He said that he’s a public official, so he has to take great care to maintain his and his employer’s reputation.”She continued, “Without being so careful, he wouldn’t have been able to stay in his position for the last two years. He doesn’t even take cigarettes from other people, let alone a sum of money. Mr. Garten, I believe that Louis was framed. But now, they’ve taken him away!”“It’s fine as long as you believe in your husband. Let’s go over to the Internal Affairs office, then. We’ll get him out,” Isaac said with a nod.Wendy was a teacher. She wasn’t well-conne
There were two men on guard. Isaac fought both of them until they lay injured on the ground. They weren’t security guards but actual employees of the place.They immediately called for backup and reported it to their superiors. In no time at all, loud footsteps came from downstairs as four or five guards rushed up urgently.Wendy was scared out of her wits. Weren’t they here to save Louis instead of bashing people?Did her husband tell her the correct name? Or did she look for the wrong person? Why was the person she found acting like a hooligan?However, the backup guards hadn’t even run up half the stairs before Isaac knocked the whole bunch of them back down.It was just a matter of minutes before the stairs and corridors were full of fallen guards who were moaning in pain.Even the police siren started blaring from outside. In fact, it was getting closer and closer.“Mr. Garten, w—what are you doing? Are you trying to get them killed?” Wendy started to complain to Isaac as she got
It wasn’t just because he was looking down on Isaac. Rather, it was because only less than a handful of people could actually reach Connor Hart.“Give me his number,” Isaac said, taking out his phone.Cash sneered and said, “You idiot, there’s no need for you to keep acting anymore. There’s more than enough evidence to prove that Louis Marsh is guilty. There would be no use even if you called God for help.”“Hello, is this Mr. Connor Hart? My name is Isaac Garten,” Isaac said into the phone soon as the other side picked up. He narrowed his eyes at Cash, giving him an uncomfortable feeling.“Mr. Hart, I’m sure you’ve heard about what happened to your secretary, Mr. Louis Marsh. I believe he’s innocent, but the people at Internal Affairs are still stubborn as a mule and won’t let him go. I think you need to do something about this.”Hearing the way Isaac spoke into the phone, Cash was even more skeptical about the call.He started laughing loudly by the side. “You’re such an idiot! You d
John frowned at Isaac’s words and turned to look at him. He asked coldly, “And which department are you from again?”“I don’t have a department. I’m just an ordinary citizen. What, I can’t demand justice for Louis?” Isaac asked with a chuckle.“Officer Carrey, this is the bastard who beat up our guards. He even got into a brawl with some of us just now. He’s too full of himself!” Cash complained.Louis laughed coldly. “He’s a good friend of Mr. Connor Hart. His call is the reason why you’re all here today.”Hearing that, John, Wade, and Flint paled.The main reason for a trial was to determine whether Louis was guilty. However, given that the phone call they received from their superior was very strict and solemn, they had an inkling of the outcome he expected from this.The chief of trials, Officer Cross, waved his hand and said, “Alright, Officer Carrey, let’s not waste time on telltales. Since we’re all here already, we might as well have a look at the evidence collected.”Cash imme
"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
