Everyone gasped and turned to look at Isaac. There was a smug look on his face as he stared back at Cyrus.Evie immediately said, in a low voice, “Isaac, these are matters of Astraeus, and they have nothing to do with you. It’s up to me and Elder Cyrus to determine whether or not we allow another sect to be set up!”What was going through Isaac’s mind anyway? Was he going to challenge someone from the Council of Elders here openly?However she thought of it, Isaac wouldn’t have the upper hand in this situation despite his power. Based on her knowledge, the most powerful General of the Seven Armies from the Temple of Drakon was still overseas.Alexis shot Isaac a grateful look but said nothing otherwise.She had absolutely no say in a situation like this since she was nothing more than a mere sect leader. Anyone would be able to step over her back.A cold look flashed in Cyrus’ eyes. His grandson had already informed him beforehand about Raven’s arrival. He could already guess what else
However, seeing Isaac’s attitude today, Cyrus knew that the feud between them both was inevitable.“Evie, it seems as if Cloud City isn’t as peaceful as we thought after all. I will inform the First Leader about it. Or, we can wait for the Supreme Leader and ask him if we ought to send more backup to this area.”Evie was shocked and hurriedly waved him off, saying, “It’s nothing I can’t handle, but thank you for your concern, Grandpa Cyrus.”Cyrus nodded and looked at Raven before saying, “Evie, just a while longer, the Neal family will announce the engagement between our family and the Supreme Leader himself. I hope that you can protect yourself well while you’re in Southland and not do anything that may bring shame to the Supreme Leader.”Evie’s face darkened immediately. Of course, she knew exactly what he meant.“Haha, alright you don’t have to feel pressured or anything. After all, you’re going to be my granddaughter-in-law soon. It’s good to see you like this!” Cyrus laughed and
Cyrus was the third-highest-ranking Elder in the Council of Elders. That meant his power was the average of all five Elders—however, it also meant that his spiritual energy was relatively powerful, reaching the Renascence Phase.Even if it was the early stage of the Renascence Phase, it was still considered a remarkable feat amongst the nine states of the ancient martial world.His shadow fist had much more concentrated energy than Xayden Neal’s and thus felt more like an actual, physical punch. The power in the shadow fist of an early-stage Renascence Phase practitioner could quickly and easily kill a hundred masters in the Amalgamation Phase.The more advanced in their phase a practitioner was, the more exponential their powers became.In fact, once a practitioner reached the Divinity Phase, his spiritual energy could even take a physical form in itself.When Cyrus fought Isaac, he didn’t use his full power against him. He only used about 80 percent of all his strength in his fist.H
“Whether or not Evie marries into your family, that is completely her choice to make. I suggest you stop listening to your dumb grandson and doing stupid things.”Slap!“The next time you see me, you better fucking keep a low profile.”The three slaps were loud and powerful. Cyrus’ face was swollen, and his nose and mouth were bleeding profusely.Isaac then threw Cyrus to the ground and hurriedly left.“Isaac, even if you’re the general of the seven armies, I’ll never forgive you for this! I’m going to kill you!” Cyrus screamed from the ground.Just then, a troop of people hurried over on their horses. Evie and a few other sect leaders and Cherubs rushed to the scene.When they saw the three people lying on the ground, Evie felt her heart leaping into her mouth. Especially when she saw how swollen Cyrus’ face was. She couldn’t breathe properly anymore.Who would do such a thing?She suddenly thought of Isaac. The only person who could attack Cyrus like this was him.Raven cried when he
By the time Isaac reached Aurum County Hospital, it was already past 3 pm. Harry was waiting for him at the entrance.“Isaac, Connor, and his wife are already here. I just found out about it because the hospital management informed me. They were beyond shocked when they found out about Cameron’s true identity.”Isaac nodded and said, “Sure, let’s go up first. With you around, it wouldn’t matter even if he’d truly gone crazy.”Harry chuckled as the both of them entered the hospital.The neurology department was on the sixth floor. Connor, dressed in a black jacket, and his secretary were standing outside the door to a hospital ward. There was another lady in her mid-fifties standing next to them.They all had rather pale looks on their faces. They didn’t even realize when Isaac and Harry arrived.There were a few squeals and sudden crying sounds coming from inside the ward. The lady outside the door kept wiping her tears away.The door to the ward then opened. A few doctors in white gow
“Responsible? He’s a crazy person now! Even the doctor said he’s incurable! How the fuck are you going to be ‘responsible’ for him now?” Mrs. Hart continued screaming at him.She had only managed to conceive and give birth to one child. Now that her son was finally all grown up, he was suddenly declared clinically insane. She was already in her mid-fifties. Her son meant everything to her.Connor also looked at Isaac with pleading eyes. He felt awful about everything, but he still trusted Isaac. After all, it was his own decision to send Cameron to Isaac. Now that something had happened to his son, he couldn’t push the blame all onto Isaac either.“I will cure Cameron,” Isaac said softly.Just then, Dr. Spade suddenly laughed. “Excuse me, sir, but with my 30 years of experience in the field, I can tell you that Mr. Hart Jr.’s insanity can’t be cured that easily.”“Apothecary, let’s go in and take a look,” Isaac said, ignoring Ian altogether. He waved his hand, and Harry followed him in
“Mr. Garten, how certain are you that your method will work?” Connor asked, glancing at Isaac with a pained expression on his face.If he didn’t let Cameron go, at least their son would still be alive. If he let Cameron go, what if he died, just as Silvia feared?“Fifty percent. This is the fastest method I can think of and the only way to reverse this,” Isaac said in a low voice.“A—Alright then, I’ll trust you. Dr. Spade, please bring them to the morgue!” Connor said, gritting his teeth and making his decision.“Mr. Hart, please reconsider! It’s just too risky! And there aren’t any other previous cases of insanity that have been cured this way before. These two bastards may not even know what they’re talking about!” Ian anxiously said.What he said was mostly true. However, it was also because he wanted to use the opportunity of being Cameron’s doctor to get closer to Connor.Mrs. Hart, on the other hand, fell to the ground and started throwing a huge tantrum on the floor, crying and
Connor walked up to Silvia and looked at her coldly, saying, “If Mr. Garten can’t cure our son, then no one else in the world can do so. If you don’t know anything, then keep your mouth shut and wait here! If our son ends up dying, then there’s nothing I can say because that’s my fate. No one else is to blame.”Connor had always been the calm and steady one, but even now, he was seething with anger. Mrs. Hart was terrified and dared not move a muscle. Even Ian dared not make a fuss anymore.A janitor came along and set up an umbrella and a few chairs. Connor, his wife, and his secretary waited under the shade.There was nothing Ian could do but leave, no matter how much he didn’t want to.It got dark. The building was still silent without a single peep. Occasionally, the trio would get spooked by a wild cat hissing and meowing in the bushes.Sometime past midnight, just as Connor and the others were on the verge of falling asleep, they all suddenly heard a chilling scream from inside.
