Allegra tugged on Isaac’s sleeve and said unhappily, “Isaac, why do you keep getting Bob to do everything for you? Are you really that helpless without him? Why do you think he has to do everything you say? Even I feel bad for him. Also, what will you do once you find the director?”Allegra thought that it wasn’t fair for Isaac to keep getting Beefy Bob to cater to his whims and fancies.“We have to keep our promise to our employees. Otherwise, how are you planning to keep your company afloat?” Isaac asked, lighting up a cigarette as he looked at Allegra.Allegra knew that if she lost Pegasus No. 1 for good, many of her current employees would be leaving.Cloud City was different from other huge cities. It wouldn’t be easy for her to find so many employees with experience in property development again.“Fine, whatever. Since you don’t seem to be giving up anytime soon, I’ll go with you. I just don’t think anything will come out of it.” Allegra was starting to feel helpless.It was noon
After hearing what Isaac said, Chad broke into a huge fit of laughter. He said at once to Spencer, “Mr. Kyle, I can’t believe there are still stupid people like him in an advanced world like ours.”Then, he said, “Pegasus No. 1 is only the first stop for Reddar Corporation. It was like a dream come true when you willingly gave up your rights to it. Did you really think we’d return it to you?” He spoke with a hint of pride and disdain.He then pointed at Randall and said, chuckling, “Mr. Murray is one of the business pioneers in Cloud City. After your company gave up the rights, he immediately looked for Mr. Kyle. Such a pity that Reddar Corporation still managed to snap it up in the end.”Randall’s face instantly darkened. What Chad said was true.As soon as he got the official documents from Edward, he went to look for Spencer at once, thinking that Pegasus No. 1 would definitely belong to them now.However, when Spencer saw the document, he told Randall that there was no hope for Gou
Isaac approached her and said softly, “Ally, don’t be angry at me.”“Me? Angry at you? We’re not even related to each other in any way. Why would I be angry at you? I’m just mad about the way you’re handling things. Garth Properties is going to go bankrupt because of you,” Allegra said with her reddened eyes.“Pegasus No. 1 will be ours,” Isaac said in a low voice.Allegra smiled bitterly and turned to face Isaac with her hands folded across her chest. “Do you not know just how powerful Reddar Corporation is? Even Watson Kane himself doesn’t dare to offend them in any way! The president of Reddar Corporation is Henry Saber, and he has connections all over the world. You’re just a reformed prisoner, an ex-convict who thinks that everything can be solved with violence. Who are you to think you can go against them?”She continued, “If you hadn’t offended Spencer just now, Garth Properties would at least still have a future in Cloud City for the oncoming projects. Now, everything is ruined
Horace was beyond grateful after hearing what the two Cherubs had to say. He said to them, “Thank you, thank you so much! However, that bastard Isaac is quite powerful too, and he’s got two more powerful assistants—”Luke then interrupted Horace with a laugh, saying, “Mr. Kenne, you’re thinking too much. There isn’t a case that Astraeus can’t handle once they get involved.”The two Cherubs nodded softly and looked proud of themselves.It was clear that what Luke said had some truth to it.Seeing this, a trace of iciness flashed in Horace’s eyes. He muttered to himself, saying, “You’re so fucking done, Isaac Garten. You better count your remaining days!”That night, Allegra still hadn’t returned home. Eugene made a few dishes for dinner before calling her number.After hanging up, Isaac looked up from the couch and asked, “What did she say?”“She said she’s not coming home for dinner. Bad mood,” Eugene answered, looking helplessly at Isaac.The both of them stared at each other for a lo
Outside the glass doors, two figures suddenly appeared. They were the Cherubs from Astraeus, Charlie Gastin and Avon Tunner.They were surrounded by visible spiritual energy, which made Isaac narrow his eyes at them.“Isaac Garten, we are Cherubs from the South Division of Astraeus. Kindly come with us quietly,” Charlie said, showing his official Emerald Seal as proof of his identity. He then haughtily beckoned Isaac to follow him.Eugene was rather stunned. Cherubs? What were they? He’d never heard of them ever before.Moreover, these two newcomers looked like they were dressed from the 70s, albeit with a buzz cut. Was this a new dress code of the justice department?“Why should I come with you?” Isaac asked with a smirk.As expected, people from Astraeus worked differently.Charlie’s facial expression darkened. He said with a scoff, “Young man, are you not aware of the crimes you have committed? Or are you trying to tell us that you do not know what Astraeus is all about?”Avon said
Those who dared to challenge or disobey Astraeus were to be severely punished. That was why Avon used his ultimate move against Isaac when he saw that Charlie could not apprehend him.The green Shadow Fist flew toward Isaac with a deafening roar. However, Isaac just waved his other hand at the green fist, emitting a burst of red rays that instantly dissolved the Shadow Fist. The rays didn’t just stop there. They continued traveling, heading straight for Avon’s forehead.Avon’s eyes immediately narrowed when he saw this. He didn’t expect his opponent to be so powerful!“Double Shadow Fist!” Avon ducked and avoided the red rays, then hurled two more green fists with his spiritual energy at Isaac.Isaac pushed Charlie off with a burst of energy, making him stagger backward, and then he turned around to face Avon directly.Within ten seconds of facing off with Isaac, Avon quickly realized that the man before his eyes was a lot more powerful than he was. Isaac’s spiritual energy was more ov
“Stop arguing. You can explain yourself at Astraeus,” Charlie snapped.Issac lit a cigarette and gave the five people standing before him a nonchalant glance. “I don’t mind going to Astraeus, but not with you. Maybe if your leader comes and invites me personally, I’d go.”Avon laughed at him. “Our leader? Who do you think you are? We’ve never even met our leader, so do you really think he’ll come here for you? I’m giving you a final warning; are you coming with us or not?”“Nope.” Isaac exhaled a cloud of smoke and smirked at him.A murderous look crossed Avon’s face. “Take him.”Suddenly, the three men in cloaks lunged at Issac. A strong burst of spiritual energy emerged from them.Isaac frowned. Did they have to do this in the living room?Just as he was deliberating his options, one of the men waved his right hand at him, sending a gust of white fog toward him.“Poison gas?” Instinctively, Isaac held his breath. At the same time, he yelled and punched at the fog. Two loud thuds sou
At 2 am, Beefy Bob and Harry arrived at Riverview Villas.Once Allegra finished retelling what happened, Beefy Bob furrowed his brows and said to Harry, “They were from Astraeus.”“Astraeus? Fuck, what did we do to them? Why did they take Isaac?” Clearly, Harry also knew about Astraeus. He knew that even though the Temple of Drakon was also comprised of martial arts practitioners, they weren’t on the same level as Astraeus. Astraeus was much more powerful than them.That said, the Temple of Drakon was backed by the authorities. In fact, most of the higher-ups in the Temple of Drakon were important governmental figures, which was why it also had some of the most advanced military technology in the world.“We’re the legal ones here. Who do they think they are, the old geezer?” Harry stomped his foot in frustration.“What’s Astraeus?” Allegra asked. “Is that a hotel or a restaurant? How did Isaac offend them?”Harry was exasperated. “Don’t worry, Allegra, we’ll figure it out,” he said as
