“Alexis Russo, the Holy Division threw in the towel during the battle. After we finish Isaac off, you shall plead mercy with your lives.” Reece pointed at Alexis, who was among the crowd.Alexis’ face paled, and she started trembling.She struggled and investigated in secret for a long time before making this decision. By doing so, she was betting the lives of hundreds in the Holy Division.She was a mere headmaster of the Holy Division and couldn’t risk being on the wrong side of Reece, let alone the Titans.But Alexis knew if Isaac were to die today, Luke and Bruno would team up on her.So, regardless of the elders’ objection, she had made her decision.Isaac spoke coldly, “Reece, stop picking on others and start thinking more about your safety, won’t you?”“You arrogant punk. You said I am weak. Will you allow me to take a head start of three moves? Like how they do in movies,” Jonas said while suddenly grinning.Isaac shook his head. “No. You can take 30 moves ahead.”Not
“You arrogant son of a bitch! Take this!”A whistle accompanied Jonas’ roar as he drew a sword that was three feet long. The blade gleamed under the sun.Black spiritual energy enveloped the sword in no time like a thin layer of black mist. Jonas had surpassed the advanced stage of the Amalgamation Phase and had stepped into the early stage of the Renascence Phase. His imposing manner caused everyone on the platform to feel suffocated.The Holy Division’s students paled as sweat streamed down their faces.That was the strength of a Titan; he could win a fight with looks alone.Jonas shook his arm, and a black sword silhouette flew toward Isaac’s forehead.“Two!” Isaac waved his right arm, and a red glow covered his arm, breaking through the black silhouette.Wesley couldn’t stand by idly. “Jonas, let’s work together,” he growled. Green energy enshrouded his body as he attacked Isaac.“Three. Four. Five. Six…”Isaac did a reversed Seven-star Footwork. His movements were incredi
Alexis had a bad feeling when the white mist enshrouded Isaac.Without a doubt, she shouted, “Holy Division, let’s rescue Isaac!”As one of the headmasters, Alexis clearly knew of dissiparotoxin’s effects. It was a poison exclusive to Astraeus; everyone in the martial world dreaded it.As Alexis made her move, a crimson fist shot out from the white mist and approached Wesley.Wesley’s eyes widened because he saw with his own eyes how the force from the crimson fist distorted the space around it as it flew toward him.“Shatter!” Wesley bellowed as he clenched his fists, gathering his spiritual energy on them and swinging them at Isaac’s attack.However, his counterattack lasted only for a second after his fists collided with Isaac’s move before the crimson fist exploded—he heard a loud crack in his wrists.The force was immense. Both his arms broke, and he was in excruciating pain. His body flew backward.Reece’s heart almost stopped beating.Jonas saw Wesley losing and also he
Jonas didn’t hear any shrieks or movements—his attack elicited no response.What was going on?“Blade Slash!” Jonas shouted again and struck another three times, sending three shadow swords into the white mist at high speed.As before, the shadow swords literally disappeared into the white mist. Nothing happened.“Stop looking at me, will ya? Just end that white-haired geezer’s life already,” Isaac’s low voice rang out from within the white mist.Alexis jolted. Was he alright?Beefy Bob’s and Harry’s mouths twitched. They immediately looked at Wesley, lying on the right side of the platform.“Reece, stop those bastards, quick!” Wesley clutched his chest and shouted at Reece when he saw Beefy Bob and Harry walking toward him.At this moment, the white mist enshrouding Isaac swirled and dispersed as if a gust of wind blew it away. Isaac emerged.When Reece saw this, his mouth gaped wide open. He shook his head fearfully and muttered under his breath, “No, this is impossible. How
Reece was fast but not as fast as Beefy Bob and Harry.He almost reached the entrance when he felt a murderous intent coming at him from behind.He growled and turned to attack. A light green shadow fist collided with Beefy Bob’s attack. By countering the attack, Reece slowed down further.“Bastards!” Reece knew he would definitely die a horrible death if he couldn’t escape.He roared and reached inside his clothes. He judged the distance between him and his pursuers before flinging his hand outward, and a white mist spread like a web over Beefy Bob and Harry.Shit, it was the dissiparotoxin!Harry frowned and retrieved a small wooden box from his sleeves.Swoosh!Silver needles flew from the wooden box and into the white mist.“Argh!” someone groaned. Harry tugged Beefy Bob and stopped just before the white mist.“You don’t have the antidote, so you can’t go near this stuff.” As he spoke, Harry and Beefy Bob backed up quickly.The last time Astraeus managed to take Isaac aw
“Congratulations, you made the right decision,” said Isaac as he laughed.Alexis and the rest calmed down.“Apothecary, treat their wounds. Beefy Bob, help the Holy Division in cleaning up. From this day onward, there will only be the Holy Division on Mt. Equest.”Isaac’s tone was calm, but Alexis and her people felt shaken up at what he said.He annihilated Divine Fists School. Was he going to wipe out Azure Sect and Ingot sect now?“Miss Russo, what do you think?”Alexis’ face flushed with excitement. She pushed her student aside and kneeled before Isaac.Everyone from the Holy Division did the same.“I, Alexis Russo, appreciate your kindness, Mr. Garten. The Holy Division will follow your lead with our lives from now onward.”Everyone cheered.Isaac grinned as he looked at the woman kneeling before him. She was attaching herself to him.Alexis saw Isaac’s expression, and her heart throbbed. Did he guess her intentions?The Holy Division welcomed Isaac to their territory.
Allegra was reluctant to attend the banquet at first. She was also shocked to know Willow was the new boss of Murray Industries.But Emily informed her that many owners of building suppliers would be attending. Furthermore, Margaret invited her politely through the phone, and her father gave his consent since it was Edward's 50th birthday. So, she came with Isabella.Allegra wore a light blue maxi dress. After parking her car, she held Isabella’s hand as they exited it.Allegra and Isabella looked nothing like before. Isabella wore a denim dress and a pair of white shoes. Her eyes shone brightly on her tender face. She looked adorable.Allegra was slightly nervous when she saw security guards with sunglasses standing guard everywhere. Old Brooks and Shawn kept close to her.The other guests didn’t understand why Old Brooks was being so respectful and polite toward Allegra.They related his behavior with Pegasus No. 1 and thought he wanted to take part in the project too.Allegra
Eugene’s seat was in the second row, but he was delighted to see his daughter sitting at the first table.He saw Alec looking miffed, sitting at the first table. Still, Eugene went forward to greet him before taking his seat. Since Margaret’s incident, Eugene had labeled the Gould family as untrustworthy people.The banquet started with a merry dance as the opening performance. Then, the emcee announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, let’s welcome the president of the leading conglomerate in Cloud City, Mr. Edward Gould from Gould Corporation, for a speech.”The guests gave a round of applause as Edward went up the stage. He gave a long speech on how he planned to improve Cloud City’s economy and give back to society because many officers from the related departments were there.The emcee immediately continued, “We have also prepared a cake exclusive for Mr. Gould's 50th birthday. Before we start, let’s invite Mr. Gould to blow off the candles. Best wishes to you on your birthday, Mr. Gou
