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
Allegra’s eyes started to focus. When she confirmed that the man before her was indeed Isaac, she immediately struggled to get on her knees on the bed so she could lean on him. She started to sob.However, she was still all tied up. She couldn’t move an inch.Isaac was heartbroken when he saw that Allegra’s clothes had been torn to bits, and her mouth was even bleeding on the sides.He hurried forward and untied her before removing the tape around her mouth. Then, he gently covered her with his jacket.“I—Isaac, Isaac…” Allegra fell into Isaac’s arms and shivered like a frightened rabbit. She hugged him tightly and started crying.“It’s alright; nothing can hurt you now. My friends brought some people over. Tristan has been captured,” Isaac said as he petted her on the shoulders soothingly.He lifted his head and inhaled deeply, feeling a slight tingle in his nose.“Sir, that old man from Azure Sect said that he’s got some information for you, and he wants you to spare his life,” Harry
“Damn, Edward again?”Beefy Bob came over and quietly said to Isaac, “Randall just died unexpectedly a few days ago. His company was then secretly bought by Edward’s daughter, Willow, for 17 billion dollars.”Isaac started to frown deeply.He suddenly waved his hand and said coldly, “Fine, I can let you go, but pass this message to Recce. You don’t have to go to such lengths to lure me out there. I’ll be at Mt. Equest at noon, precisely three days later. I’m giving you all ample time to prepare. We’ll see if any of you can kill me. Understand?”Elder Silas felt his heart tremble. He immediately fell back down to the floor and cried, “Understood! Thank you, sir, Mr. Garten!”Seeing Elder Silas running haphazardly out of the villa, Harry narrowed his eyes. “Sir, should we just take everyone to Mt. Equest tomorrow and kill off the remaining sects? Saves us a lot of trouble.”“What do you know? Those sects are nothing. It’s obvious that Isaac wants to teach Astraeus a lesson,” Beefy Bob an
Cameron felt his stomach lurching when he saw the scene and heard Tristan’s scream.After all, this was Tristan Martin, one of the potential successors of Reddar Corporation. Had Isaac lost his mind?Did he not know that doing such a thing was just asking for more trouble from his family?The screaming had quietened down into heavy breathing. Chad forced himself to calm down and growled, “Fine, Isaac Garten, calm the fuck down. Don’t hurt Tristan anymore. Wait for my call; we can discuss things further.”“Beefy Bob, get two men to watch over Eugene. I don’t trust those old fuckers from the Martin family,” Isaac said, glancing at Beefy Bob.“I—Isaac! How dare you turn me into an invalid! Just wait until my family gets their revenge on you! I’m sure it won’t take more than an hour or two. Just wait!” Tristan was in so much pain that he nearly fainted, but he still managed to snarl ferociously at Isaac.Chad rushed into the Group President’s office at Reddar Corporation just then. He crie
The second call was from Louis. The higher-ups had told him to suppress all news on what would unfold soon in Cloud City. He guessed it could be related to Isaac, so he’d quickly called to warn him.Isaac lit a cigarette and went outside. 90 Assassin Squad members in black were standing motionless in the heavy rain.“Stay out of sight,” instructed Isaac softly. The squad members dispersed and hid in the compound.“Holy-moly. Boss, it looks like it’ll be a tough fight, eh? The Martin family has great authority, from the looks of it.” Harry walked out, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.“Scared?” Isaac chuckled and glanced at him.Harry puffed out his chest and said firmly, “With you by my side and my Bloodshed Blossom Needle in hand, I’ll kill everyone that comes my way!”“Oh, then you can strike first. Here they come.” Isaac squinted at the procession of vehicles coming toward them.Cameron was in the house all this while, his body stiff with fear. He approached Isaac and trem
Nearly 300 professional bodyguards and more than 30 ancient martial arts practitioners attacked abruptly. Their roars were thunderous as they waved their weapons and released their spiritual energy at once. The battle had begun.Fabian and Chad stood behind, holding their umbrellas in the rain. They looked furious.On the other hand, Harry brought a chair to the top of the steps while Isaac bit on his cigarette, smiling as he sat down and looked at them.In less than three minutes, Fabian’s expression darkened as he realized his men were losing to the Assassin Squad. Despite the significant difference in numbers, their efforts were futile.The three rows of squad members didn’t budge an inch, and his men were falling in dozens.Those behind the fallen could only step over their bodies and continue their attack.“Fabian, I’ll go ahead and test that jerk’s strength. Let’s see how strong he is!” Chad glared and clenched his fist. A burst of lilac spiritual energy radiated from him.
Shortly after, Harry lifted a wilted Tristan as he came out. Harry grabbed his hair and forced him to kneel by Isaac.“Dad, save me. Dad…I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die so soon, Dad!” Tristan saw their family’s bodyguards sprawled all over the ground. He was now traumatically terrified of the man next to him.“Kill him!” Isaac said softly.Harry grabbed Tristan’s chin with one hand while the other gripped the top of his head. Suddenly, he twisted his hands in opposite directions.Crack! Everyone could hear the unpleasant crisp sound over the heavy rain.“Tristan, my son!” Fabian’s eyes widened, and a burst of spiritual energy blasted forward.A few ancient martial arts practitioners standing beside him grabbed Fabian at once.“Mr. Martin! Mr. Martin, don’t act rashly! Stay calm!”Tristan’s blank eyes stared ahead; he was lifeless. His body crashed backward.Cameron, standing in the house, saw this scene and paled. He couldn’t stop himself from trembling. A warm stream
