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
Beefy Bob barely finished speaking when they saw an Audi and a black BMW speeding toward them behind the two army trucks.Fabian threw his head backward and started laughing like a maniac when he saw the two luxury cars behind the trucks. He hollered toward the living room, “Garten, you son of a bitch! You won’t escape this time. None of you will!”Meanwhile, two helicopters were circling the air above them. Two armed men were sitting by the helicopter door, carrying a machine gun and a sniper rifle.Due to the number of cars on the lawn, the army trucks stopped outside the compound, and armed soldiers rushed inside, carrying their weapons.The Audi stopped, and a middle-aged man in an olive green trench coat and a military cap got down.He frowned at seeing the mess on the lawn and Fabian and his brothers in the rain. He quickly strode over.“Fabian, Chad. What happened?” Gabe Munrow asked solemnly.“Gabe, your nephew, Tristan, is dead!” shouted Fabian as he grabbed Gabe’s wris
The Assasin Squad refused to move. Their leader dropped to one knee anxiously. “Drakon!”They knew Isaac was suffering from a gunshot wound. Elder Kingston and the blue-robed man were obviously pretty strong. They were worried about Isaac’s safety.“Make way!” Isaac ordered again, and the squad swiftly moved aside.Isaac put his hands behind his back and strode toward Fabian and the rest, with Harry and Beefy Bob in tow. The squad marched forward as well.Cameron sharply inhaled when he saw Isaac walking out.Although he had seen all sorts of occasions within and outside the country as Connor’s son, the ostentatious scene and the other party’s imposing manner intimidated him.Only now did he understand why his father had sent him to be Isaac’s assistant—Isaac was totally off the charts!Meanwhile, on the first floor, Allegra pulled the curtains open and watched as Isaac walked forward slowly as tears streaked down her face. When she saw his bloody back, her heart ached.She bit
Everyone froze when the two halves of Elder Kingston’s bloody body fell onto the ground.Fabian and Chad were gaping in utter disbelief. Elder Kingston was among the strongest in The Order of Sol and had reached the advanced stage of the Amalgamation Phase.How could this punk kill him with just a single move?Suddenly, a gunshot sound came from a helicopter hovering above them—a sniper rifle aimed at Isaac’s head fired. Almost immediately, Isaac dodged swiftly as the huge bullet hit right where he was, leaving a cavity as large as a sunhat on the ground.Gabe frowned at this scene. His right hand held the pistol he carried on his waist as he shouted, “Who exactly are you?”“Who am I? Haha! Your superior in the Central Command would have to kneel in my presence, not to mention the likes of you.” Isaac burst out laughing as he reached into his shirt.Gabe looked at Isaac scornfully as he retorted, “Kid, you’re just a practitioner of ancient martial arts who is slightly better th
Fabian glanced at Gabe, who was as pale as a ghost, and trembled as he said, “T—the Martin family swears our loyalty to Mr. Garten from today onward. Please forgive our wrongdoings!”Fabian wouldn’t be a qualified family patriarch if he still refused to apologize when things had come down to this.His son and Elder Kingston were dead, and Gabe could do nothing before this man. It didn’t take him long to figure out that this seemingly powerless man could destroy his family effortlessly if he wanted to.The Martin family would be in danger if he continued his act of bravado.If Isaac could let him off the hook, at the least, the Martin family’s efforts and achievements all these years wouldn’t be in vain.“We swear loyalty to Mr. Garten. Please give us another chance!” Chad and Dustin said in unison after Fabian made his stand clear.Isaac drew a dagger and hurled it in front of Chad. He said coldly, “Take your own life. I would never allow someone who shot at my wife to take anoth
Allegra abruptly backed up in shock. She was flushed as she lowered her head and turned around.Isaac was infuriated at being interrupted, whereas Cameron was grinning slyly at him. Isaac smiled and said, “You want to be my student?”“Uh-huh. Yes, yes. Totally.”“Here’s a little test for you. Do you think you can pass it?” Isaac’s grin grew wider.Cameron grew solemn and respectful when he heard there was a test. Whenever great martial artists were taking in students, the candidates had to endure many trials and tribulations to excel.To Cameron, the man before him wasn’t just some renowned martial artist; he was half-divine.“You are to stay two nights continuously at Green Hills Cemetery. If you survive, have some stew in the morgue at Aurum County Hospital the night after tomorrow and sleep there. If you feel alright, come back to me.”Cameron gulped. Images of ghosts invaded his thoughts even before Isaac finished speaking.Weren’t trials about beating people up or being se
