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
After five years apart, Isaac and Evie spent the night passionately intertwined. They had no idea that Lord Eastwell, Xayden Neal had found them entering a room together after leaving the Waterfront Wonderland. After that, he’d wrecked the presidential suite of his five-star hotel.“M—my Lord. Should we inform the Supreme Leader of this… After all, it’s a piece of reputation-wrecking news!” Otto said, quivering.“Idiot! The Neal family still intends to have that bitch Evie Lopez marry into the family. How dare she sleep with another man knowing that I’m here! How dare she make me watch this pervsersion!” Xayden slammed a fist on the table, his eyes red from rage.“That punk Reece Bullock got the top ten experts of Astraeus to come to Cloud City and contacted several sects on Mt. Equest in a plot to do away with Isaac Garten. Why don’t…”Xayden’s gaze turned icy, and he laughed. “Great. Since you like boy toys so much, I’ll make sure to rip this one to pieces. Tell Reece Bullock tha
“Tristan, what are you doing?” Cameron frowned as he saw the scores of men behind Tristan. The scent of blood permeated the air. “Mr. Hart, I don’t care what your relationship is with Isaac Garten, but you better keep what happened today a secret.” Tristan didn’t expect the eminent Cameron Hart of Southland would be living here. However, since things had progressed to this point, he could hardly order his men to retreat.“Since he’s not here, I’ll take you away first. He would be very anxious to find you!” Tristan snickered, waving a finger at Allegra.Two men in black rushed at Allegra.“What are you doing? Who are you people? Don’t hurt my daughter. Stop…” Eugene spread his hands to block the way, but one of the men slapped him aside. Allegra gave a frightened cry and threw herself toward Eugene to protect him but was restrained by two men.“Let’s go and meet up with the people from the Azure Sect.” Tristan looked at the furious Allegra and smirked before turning to head outsid
In the south suburbs of Cloud City stood a bungalow. The lights were turned on inside, and several guards paced the front yard.There were also ten ancient martial arts practitioners hidden around the house.On the second floor, Allegra was thrown onto a bed roughly. Her hands and feet were tied up, and her mouth was taped. Tristan entered the room. His face was still swollen, but there was a smirk on his face.Allegra was terrified when she saw him. She tried to scream, but the tape muffled the sound.This was the last thing she’d expected when she first met Tristan. He’d been so chivalrous and gentle then, but now, he was scary.“The more I look at you, the prettier you get,” Tristan said as he walked over to the bed. He brushed his hand softly against her cheek. Allegra trembled in fear.Suddenly, his expression changed. He slapped Allegra, then grabbed her dressing gown and tore it off.The delicate dressing gown tore away easily, leaving Allegra naked.She was crying while shaking
Tristan laughed. He crooked a finger at Cameron and said, “That’s good to hear, buddy. Come over here. I’ll never hurt a hair on my friend!”Cameron paused. He looked at Isaac hesitantly.“Do as you wish,” Isaac said impassively as he lighted a cigarette. Halfway across the lawn, Cameron heard Isaac say, “Tristan Martin, if you let Allegra go now, I may grant you a quick and merciful death.”Scornfully, he quickened his pace and stood beside Tristan.Isaac must be crazy to think that his team of three stood a chance against their army of ten. Where was he getting this confidence from? Did he really believe that the Martin family’s guards were no more than street thugs?Tristan laughed. “Are you really still so arrogant? You should know that I prepared well for your arrival immediately after I got my hands on your woman.” He made a rude gesture at Isaac. “Come on then, show me what you’ve got.”Isaac raised his right hand and pointed a finger at the sky. He twirled it around, drawing tw
