Allegra had no idea that Isaac had arrived. She also had no idea that the prim and proper Tristan Martin would actually list out such ridiculous conditions on his end. She just couldn’t comprehend it.“Mr. Martin, thank you for your dinner invitation tonight, but I have something else to attend to. Please excuse me,” she said, getting up to leave.Just then, the man in the black suit outside rushed into the pavilion and grabbed Allegra by the shoulders. He then forced Allegra to sit down.“Tristan Martin! What are you trying to do? I know you’re rich and powerful, but that doesn’t mean you can go throwing your weight around like this! I’ll never agree to your conditions!” Allegra was starting to panic.“Throw my weight around? Allegra, oh, Allegra. You’re just a lowly janitor anyway, and you’re also a widow. Filthy people like you are right at the bottom of the food chain. What right do you have to call me names?” Tristan’s mouth twisted in a sneer, and he had a condescending look on h
The man in the Victorian suit stepped forward, his gaze cold as he looked at Isaac. “Hendrix Kingston of the Order of Sol. My pleasure.”Immediately after that, a burst of spiritual energy emerged from Hendrix. Something flashed across Beefy Bob’s eyes as he rubbed his wrist discreetly.On the second floor, Evie frowned when she heard Hendrix’s name.She hadn’t expected Reddar Corporation to be working with the Order of Sol. No wonder they were so arrogant lately.“If you don’t fight, then I’ll gladly spend the night with pretty Allegra here.” Tristan laughed. He turned to Allegra and asked, “Right, Allegra?”“Isaac,” Allegra said, trembling with anger. “If you think you can win, go ahead. Beat him up.”“Come on, then.” Isaac laughed and went over to the empty area nearby.Hendrix stood about ten feet away from Isaac. He took a deep breath, and a cold look came over his expression. “You’re my first opponent in Cloud City, boy. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you, but I’ll guarantee you’ll ne
The four bodyguards standing behind Tristan instinctively fought back when they saw Isaac charging toward them.Even if they couldn’t defeat him, their creed was to protect Tristan.Four screams of pain later, the bodyguards collapsed onto the ground.“Isaac, I’m warning you. I haven’t even gotten you back for the slap you gave me last time. If you…”Coldly, Isaac slapped Tristan.The pain made Tristan spin around, almost falling to the floor. His ears rang from the force.Allegra’s heart skipped a beat upon seeing this. She regretted saying what she had said earlier. After all, he was the Reddar Corporation’s young director. However, when she remembered the vulgar words he had said to her, she became angry again.“So what if I slap you again?” Isaac said coldly.Several people in the restaurant had leaped to their feet.“Oh, my God, is that Mr. Martin from Reddar Corporation? I’ve seen him in the newspaper. It’s him!”“The heir of the Martin family is getting beaten up? This is big ne
A figure clad in white leaped down from the second floor. Evie stood in front of Isaac in a white dress with her face covered with a veil and stared at him intently.When their eyes met, it was as if the world had fallen silent.Isaac frowned for a moment, then laughed. “You’re finally brave enough to stand up to me.”“Let Tristan go. If it’s worth anything, do it for my sake, then leave at once, too,” Evie said anxiously.In the silence, Isaac realized that everyone in the restaurant had left. He frowned. “Are you in trouble?”“Don’t ask, please. I’ll meet you someday after tonight.” Evie was panicking. That guy was almost here.While Isaac and Evie were talking, Tristan got up from the floor and ran out, ignoring the blood still gushing out of his mouth and nose.At the same time, a respectful voice came from outside, “Lord Eastwell, this is the Waterfront Wonderland owned by Miss Evie. It’s one of the best restaurants in the area. Only the rich and noble dine here.” Five men entere
Only then did Xayden look at Isaac. His eyes narrowed as he gave him a once-over.If this guy was responsible for the massacre of Divine Fists School, then why was he with Evie? What was the nature of their relationship?Isaac was also sizing up Xayden. There weren’t many who could look him in the eye for more than five seconds. Xayden raised an eyebrow and asked Isaac, “Where are you from? Do you know who I am?”“Nowhere. Why should I know who you are?” Isaac rebutted calmly.Xayden frowned. Evie’s heart beat faster. She was worried that Isaac and Xayden would get into a conflict.“My Lord, from what I gathered, this guy is from the Temple of Drakon,” Reece whispered to Xayden.The Temple of Drakon?Something flashed in Xayden’s eyes. He coldly said to Isaac, “Isn’t the Temple of Drakon based abroad? Why are you here to cause trouble in the Nine Continents? And you,” He glanced at Reece. “Just because he’s from the Temple of Drakon, you’re wary of him?”Reece was about to explain him
Reece knew that he had ruined any chance of goodwill from the Princess of Astraeus as soon as he accused Isaac as the murderer, but he hadn’t expected Evie to defend Isaac to this extent.Something was up!Xayden put down the documents he was reading. Darkly, he smiled and said to Evie, “Evie, are you saying that this guy from the Temple of Drakon can just kill any martial arts practitioner he likes as long as Reece is irresponsible in his management? The Divine Fists School may be insignificant, but they’re still a sect under our jurisdiction. Who will answer the Supreme Leader if he asks about it?”Evie’s expression twisted. She was just about to say something when Isaac spoke up. “If you’re so scared, then let Thaddeus Lopez speak to me himself,” he said, smiling casually at Xayden.Xayden was startled for a moment. Then he laughed darkly. “I didn’t know you knew our Supreme Leader by name, little guy. Who do you think you are? Are the people of the Temple of Drakon as arrogant as
Under the veil, Evie’s pretty face was drenched in tears.“How have you been these five years?” Isaac’s voice was hoarse as he brushed his hand against her cheek. He felt distinctly sad.Isaac had let down many people in his life. Apart from Allegra and Isabella, Evie was one of the most important women he had disappointed.Five years ago, Isaac had just joined the Temple of Drakon at the border of the Kingdom of Ursus. During a battle, he was poisoned and fell into a deep valley, where Evie saved him. During that time, they had sex.It was mainly because he was under the influence of the poison. Otherwise, he would never have…“Why are you asking? It’s got nothing to do with…Hey!”Isaac grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his embrace. Evie was forced to sit on his lap as his scent enveloped her.As soon as Isaac’s hands wrapped around her, she felt as if her bones had all disappeared. The more she struggled, the tighter he held her, so in the end, she leaned into his embrace, blushi
This was also an order by the Martin family’s patriarch. They were a family and had to be united; no one was allowed to only care for their personal interests.This was the very reason why the Reddar Corporation was such a dominating force.Returning home from the Waterfront Wonderland in a poor state, Tristan stood in the main hall in trepidation. The man sitting at the pride of place was tall, middle-aged, and wearing a solemn expression. He was the head of the family: Fabian Martin. Next two him sat two men in suits. They were Tristan’s uncles—the elder, Dustin Martin, and the younger, Chad Martin.“Tristan, did you say that Hendrix Kingston might be dead? And who is this Isaac Garten?” Tristan’s stress level spiked up the moment Fabian spoke up.“That’s right. It’s that punk Isaac Garten who attacked so suddenly that Hendrix could barely react. He nearly killed me too!” Tristan said, voice trembling. Fabian suddenly roared, “You useless piece of trash! Pegasus No. 1 was such
