A domineering red shadow fist plunged deep into Cyrus’ body. In the next instant, Isaac decimated Cyrus’ power core with one punch.“Ah…” Cyrus cradled his stomach, letting out a gut-wrenching scream before falling to the floor.Glenn had been fighting with Damien at that moment. When he saw what had happened, he was both surprised and enraged.Even more shockingly, this elegant-looking man had already taken over thirty of his attacks but still hadn’t shown any hint of being unable to keep up.Glenn turned around and took a huge leap, roaring, “Stop right now!” Both parties quickly separated. Neither was injured; both were only breathing slightly heavily, especially Damien. One could see the sweat beaded on his forehead at a closer look.Only he knew how terrifying that First Elder was. He even suspected that Glenn was still hiding some of his abilities.The hundreds of Eastwell soldiers and the men that Glenn had brought were all staring at Cyrus, who was rolling on the floor,
“Isaac, you were too impulsive today. Do you know what kind of consequences your actions will bring?” Evie looked at Isaac with a bitter expression after they returned to the division building.Isaac shrugged and said nonchalantly, “Even if I'd let the Neals go, there would only be more trouble. Now that Xayden’s dead, at least he can’t keep thinking of ways to make you marry him.”Evie was taken aback by his words. Warmth bloomed in her chest. Had he done that so that she could avoid marrying Xayden?“I’ll be away for a while tomorrow. Isaac, you need to take care of yourself.” Evie’s cheeks were a little hot. As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly turned around and went inside.A beautiful woman strode over. Stopping in front of Isaac, she said, “Mr. Garten, Ms. Lopez has prepared the guest room for you. Please follow me.”“No need. I’ll be going down the mountain tonight.” Isaac waved his hand, declining.Suddenly, he leaned close to the woman and whispered, “If anythin
Wearing a cold expression, Lucas crossed his arms and said, “Last month, enemy troops from the Kingdom of Ursus appeared at the desolate glaciers in the deepest part of Cyberia. There were only a handful of people. We managed to capture a few of them but couldn’t get any information out of them. All of them poisoned themselves.”“The Kingdom of Ursus has been watching the grassland south of the ice fields. Lucas, you cannot let your guard down. As for Heleron, Damien, you can take it easy for now. Just keep monitoring their movements.”Damien and Lucas nodded.“All right, then. A great burden is on your shoulders, so I won’t keep you here for much longer. You can all return to your respective posts tomorrow.” Isaac stood up, smiling at the others.“Drakon, we will be taking our leave now. Will you be alright? The First Elder seemed to be holding back his anger today. Those old bastards from the Astraeus haven’t even left the mountain!” Elliot said, frowning.Isaac waved his hand a
It was the most pain that Alexis had ever experienced in her life. Initially, she felt so hot, as if she was being roasted over a fire pit. Even her skin was prickling with scorching heat.Then, she felt so cold, as though she'd been plunged into an icy cave. She shivered violently from head to toe. Finally, her limbs felt like they were being pricked by thousands of needles. It hurt so badly that she almost passed out a few times.Nonetheless, she didn’t let out a single sound throughout the entire process. She knew that if she could get through it, she'd become much stronger, and one day, she'd finally be able to avenge the hundreds of students of the Holy Division.At that moment, a pair of hands touched her lightly in the middle of her back. She then heard Isaac’s deep voice, “Almost there. It’ll be over soon.”A large burst of spiritual energy suddenly surged through her body, flowing to her limbs and seeping into her blood vessels.She could even feel her blood vessels expan
“Mr. Garten, I’m going back to the mountain. If you need any help, call me anytime. I'm eternally grateful to you. Respectfully, Alexis.”As he looked at the dainty handwriting on the note, Isaac knew that Alexis couldn’t let the Holy Division go. Oh, well. Since she wanted to keep going through that, then let her be!At the same time, a hearse drove into Eastwell before speeding down the highway toward Seascape.Seascape was the economic center of Eastwell and also one of the biggest port cities in the nine states.A luxurious old-fashioned villa to the east of Seascape was already packed with people. Martial artist guards paced back and forth in front of the entrance.The leader was a middle-aged man dressed in deep purple robes. His eyes were bloodshot, and he appeared frenzied.Next to him was a middle-aged woman in her 40s. Her eyes were brimming with tears, and her expression was one of pain.Beside her were two middle-aged men. They wore gloomy expressions, but rage dance
In a blink of an eye, a few days passed. The new township project was already in full swing. Hundreds of heavy machines were already running around the clock.Garth Properties was becoming more and more well-known. In the eyes of the public, Garth Properties’ “close collaboration” with Gould Properties had somehow been twisted into a fairytale. After all, Edward was Allegra’s uncle.Whether it was the Goulds or the Booths, their names had become the talk of the town in Cloud City or even the whole Southland.Hence, Allegra had been exceptionally busy the past few days. As her reputation improved, she started getting invited to various business and government meetings. Sometimes, she didn’t even have the time to go home to eat dinner.Meanwhile, every weekend, Isaac would wait at the school gate to pick Isabella up. Then, the father and daughter would enjoy some quality bonding time.On Monday night, Isaac’s phone suddenly vibrated.When he saw that it was Emily’s number, he pause
Margaret also called her big brother, Edward. At first, Edward had said that it wouldn’t be a problem, but when he later heard that she was now quadriplegic, he changed his mind and said that his business was doing poorly and he didn’t have much cash on hand.These words kept Margaret up all night. Right now, Gould Properties had billions of dollars in investment capital, but he couldn’t even take out a hundred thousand dollars.Isaac heard footsteps behind him, accompanied by a familiar female voice.“Andrew, I’m telling you that I don’t have a single penny to treat your mother. Your sister has a project worth a hundred billion dollars; your mother should ask her.”Isaac recognized Andrew’s wife, Daisy’s voice. He stepped forward immediately.Andrew was very conflicted. Although Gould Properties was now successful and wealthy, the money was all in his uncle’s hands. He only received a monthly salary of 30 thousand dollars a month, which was barely sufficient to sustain his wife’s
Allegra arrived very quickly. Her cheeks were slightly flushed; evidently, she’d just come from a dinner engagement.As she entered the hospital room, Isaac exited the next room and walked to the corridor.When Margaret saw that Allegra had come, she didn’t dare raise her gaze to look at her.But Andrew went straight to the point and said, “Allegra, Mom is already in such a state. As her daughter, shouldn’t you take some responsibility?”Daisy also frowned and added, “Your home in the Cloud Nine Villas is huge; it wouldn’t matter if one more person moved in. You can hire a few nurses to look after her. Andrew and I would be very grateful.”Looking at Margaret in the hospital bed and then at Andrew and his wife, Allegra suddenly burst into loud laughter.She turned to Margaret, muttering in an icy tone, “I remember her saying a long time ago that I was no longer her daughter, and Bella isn’t her granddaughter. She called her a bastard child and a lowlife. Now you think of me only
