Isaac’s brows twitched. He thought, “Someone is backing him up, indeed.”However, Isaac couldn’t understand why someone would boost an unworthy family and turn it into a well-known one in Cloud City. Besides, everything Gould Corporation had done so far was to make life difficult for Garth Properties.“Tell me who’s the one backing you up.” Isaac closed in on Edward.Edward paled. He realized he had let it slip.His boss told him if he ever let anyone know about him, he would kill him.“Why should I? Isaac, kill me if you want, but I’ll never agree to your conditions.” Edward gritted his teeth.Allegra and the others felt the tension rising in the air.Suddenly, Isaac grabbed Edward’s neck and heaved Edward up while striding toward the large window behind him.“Since you said so, I’d be glad to fulfill your wishes.” Isaac smirked.Edward hadn’t gotten a grip on what was happening when he felt pain in his back. There was a crash as his body broke through the glass window.The
Edward couldn’t help feeling upset whenever he thought of it.“Uncle Edward, Isaac is ridiculous. We’ll lose a ton at this rate,” said Andrew grudgingly.Edward’s eyes glinted dangerously. “Even though we had an agreement, I’ll never let this slide easily. Just wait and see.”Allegra transferred the agreed amount to Gould Corporation once she returned to her office. Just before dark, she received word that the first batch of building materials had arrived at the construction site. Allegra heaved a sigh of relief.She had finally removed this thorn from her side. She returned to Cloud Nine Villas and took a hot bath. Then, she went to bed with ease.At 10 pm, heavy clouds covered the sky above Cloud City. Isaac was enjoying a cup of tea on the sofa when thunder roared. Soon, it started raining cats and dogs.His phone vibrated. He saw it was from Black Phoenix and immediately answered the call.“Drakon, the Eastwell army has arrived. They have five thousand soldiers in total and
Isaac drove out of Cloud Nine Villas at high speed. At the same time, his phone vibrated.He took it out and saw it was a call from Evie. He frowned and answered it.“Isaac, where are you now? Are you on your way to Mt. Equest?” Evie sounded anxious; her voice was shaking. She might have gotten wind of what was happening. “Yes, I’ve just left home. Alexis helped me previously. I won’t stand by and watch someone like her die.” Isaac knew what Evie was about to say. He responded before she could speak, determined and steady.Evie took a deep breath. Her voice trembled when she said, “Isaac, please promise me you’ll never reveal your true identity. The Neal family has four guardian warriors, and two of them are here tonight. In addition to Cyrus, they’ll be a deadly threat to you. It might be better if you stay put; I’ll go to Alexis.”Isaac clutched the steering wheel single-handedly. His eyes were icy. He said coldly, “No, you shouldn’t do that—it’s too dangerous. Alright, I promi
When he heard Cyrus was gathering the Eastwell army to make a move on Isaac, Xayden immediately called Cyrus and begged him to let him tag along. Even if he couldn’t avenge Raven with his own hands, he wanted to witness Isaac’s final moments.Cyrus knew it was risky, but Cedric and Lewis were there to protect them. Plus, Xayden was begging him fervently. So, he agreed.Xayden looked menacing as he stared at the main hall. He used his spiritual energy and bellowed, “Alexis, I’m only sending five hundred soldiers in! I’ll spare your life if you can hold out until Isaac comes. Haha!”His voice transversed through every tower of Holy Division and, of course, reached Alexis’ ears. She was cornered somewhere between the second and third floors.“That jerk. I’m going to kick Xayden’s ass now. Don’t stop me!” Alexis’ eyes were red as she growled furiously.The elders protected her from all directions, and the elite students resisted attacks from the Eastwell soldiers. Although the stairwa
Alexis could do nothing to overturn the situation. She watched as the two elders fought the soldiers with their lives. All she could do was hold her sword and release her spiritual energy in preparation to fight for her life.Corpses sprawled across the stairway up to the fourth floor. Many of the Eastwell soldiers had fallen too. But considering the few thousand soldiers that remained, their loss was negligible.The two strong elders of Holy Division undeniably put up a good fight; they stopped the soldiers from ascending the fourth floor.With every strike of the sword, two to three soldiers would fall.“Worthless trash,” someone scolded from beneath. The whole hall started shaking.A black silhouette used the soldiers in the stairway as leverage to dart upward. The elders sensed incredible spiritual energy coming toward them and exchanged a glance. Then, they roared and used all the spiritual energy in their power core.Lewis, a tall, slender man in a dark purple cloak, arrive
Alexis shut her eyes and spread her arms. Perhaps it was worth it to die right in front of her sect.Her sword dropped to the ground with a clang. Alexis promptly leaned backward and fell off the balcony. Lewis frowned. She was determined to end her own life!“Alexis, I don’t recall asking you to end your life,” a voice suddenly came from the entrance. Without delay, a silhouette shot upward toward the night sky.“It’s Isaac! That jerk is here,” Xayden gritted his teeth and bellowed at Lewis. His heart raced when he heard Isaac’s voice.Lewis’ face changed, and he looked up.Isaac leaped from the entrance and swooped toward Alexis, who was already falling.Alexis heard Isaac’s voice on her way down and felt immeasurable delight. But, she convinced herself she was delusional. She couldn’t understand why she heard Isaac’s voice just before her death.However, she immediately felt strong arms catching her and slowing her descent. She opened her eyes and saw a familiar face amidst t
Xayden, Lewis, and Cedric were stunned after hearing Isaac’s words.“Mr. Garten…” Alexis couldn’t believe her ears too. How could he be so arrogant?Then, Xayden laughed. He pointed at Isaac and roared, “Remember what you said, jerk.”“Attention, Eastwell army! Assume Dragon Trap Formation, kill!”There was a thunderous roar as the soldiers formed some sort of web and closed in on Isaac and Alexis rapidly.“Spears, aim!” Xayden shouted again.Hundreds of the frontmost soldiers raised their spears and directed them at Isaac and Alexis.Alexis scanned the situation. Almost a thousand soldiers were wielding spears, and their spearheads glistened in the rain. She swallowed nervously.“Isaac, did you take me for a fool? Haha! No matter how strong you are, even if you are at the Renascence Phase, five thousand soldiers are more than enough to wear you out!” Xayden stood outside the formation, laughing in glee.Isaac smiled, and his gaze turned cold as he looked at Xayden.Indeed, h
Not only were Xayden and his guardian warriors terrified, but so were the soldiers at the front. Their paces slowed down; some even came to a stop.Isaac was standing on the chair. He was like a god of war to them; the sword he held, surrounded in waves of red spiritual energy, was like the Reaper’s scythe.“Why did y’all stop moving?” With a flick of his wrist, Isaac held the sword before him. He looked mockingly at the soldiers and Xayden.Cedric and Lewis exchanged a glance and immediately requested in an angry tone, “My Lord, please allow us to fight that brat.”At that moment, someone shouted from behind, “Xayden Neal, stop what you’re doing.” Evie, wearing a white dress and a veil on her face, appeared at the entrance. Ten men in cloaks followed her while two women in mini dresses held umbrellas for her.Xayden menacingly smiled when he heard this voice.“Can’t hold it in any longer, can you?” Xayden turned and waved, shouting, “Make way for Ms. Lopez.”The soldiers moved
