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
“Don’t touch me.” Allegra shrank away.The truth was that she’d been vexed and sad ever since she left the hospital. It had been hard to see her mother in that state.In her current situation, she could easily fork out a million or even ten million dollars, much less a hundred thousand dollars in medical bills. She was simply angry about what her mother had done to her and Isabella in the past.Not to mention, Andrew and his wife had crossed the line by asking her to bear all the costs.How could they?Was it because she was easy to pick on? This time, she wouldn’t let that happen.“Is it because of your mother?” Isaac asked hesitantly.Allegra replied coldly, “Isaac, it’s none of your business. Go to sleep!”She didn’t want Isaac to get involved in this matter; it was between her, her mother, and Andrew. In truth, she despised Edward even more for “playing dead” at this time.“I can’t sleep either. I’ll go sit downstairs. You get some rest; you have work tomorrow,” Isaac said
“Can she be saved?” Isaac asked without thinking.“She still has a pulse, but I can’t save her here. I’ll keep her pulse going first, but we have to take her somewhere else.” Harry’s expression was solemn.Then, he carried Margaret, whose face had turned purple, out of the hospital room while Isaac led the way.They arrived at a hotel and booked a room. At first, the manager looked at them with suspicion, but they quickly got a room after Isaac slammed ten thousand dollars onto the counter.After reaching the room, Isaac stayed outside for the time being. He trusted Harry’s healing abilities.As dawn broke, an exhausted Harry finally came out of the room.He found Isaac leaning on the wall with his eyes closed. He immediately raised his spirits and said, “Sir, I managed to bring her back, but I’ll need two days to treat her completely.”“Alright. Don’t let her know that I’m the one helping her. Do as you see fit,” Isaac said after a moment of thought.It was still early when he
Something suddenly popped into Edward’s head. “I heard that the Neal family is a real martial family. If we work together, we can definitely kill that bastard once and for all this time!” he said, joy written on his face.“I hope that’s the case.” His boss nodded, harrumphing. Then he closed his eyes to get some rest.At 10 a.m., Allegra was in a meeting with her company’s higher management when a phone call came in.Seeing that it was Andrew, she frowned and declined the call, but he quickly called again.The moment Allegra put the phone to her ear, Andrew’s roar reached her ears. “Allegra, where did you take Mom? Why is she missing from the hospital?”“Andrew, are you crazy? Your Mom is missing; how would I know where she is? Fuck off!” Allegra hung up straightaway.What was his problem? Why was he even calling her for this?However, Andrew had a different perspective. When he got a call from the hospital this morning asking whether the patient had been taken home, he was asto
