“Roger? What are you doing here? Do you know Mr. Garten?” Watson was surprised to see his son with Isaac. Could it be that Roger managed to be acquainted with Isaac before him?Isaac glanced at Watson’s astonished face and said with a chuckle, “Your son is after my girlfriend, and he said he’ll make me regret coming here.”“I should have brought you up better!” Something broke within Watson. His legs gave way, and he dropped to the floor.Beefy Bob held onto Watson swiftly. He lowered his voice and scolded, “What are you doing? You’ll give us away!”At this, Watson stabilized his shaky legs and tried to stand. However, he started sweating like crazy.“Dad, this little rat was after my woman. He injured my bodyguards too. I’m going to…”Watson lunged at Roger and slapped him in the face.“Why are you hitting me, Dad? It’s him— ”Watson gave him another slap and said through gritted teeth, “Shut the hell up.”Roger finally fell silent. He held onto his cheek, dumbfounded. His ch
Early morning, Allegra got dressed, brought her gift, and left for the hotel.Her gift for Alec was a complete set of supplements worth a month’s salary. It was a special occasion, and bringing a gift was substantial.When she passed through the living room, Isaac got up. She immediately said, “I’m attending my grandfather’s birthday celebration. You can just stay here.”“Do you not want me to accompany you?” Isaac frowned slightly.“I’m more worried about you causing a commotion if you go. Just wait here. There’s food in the fridge if you’re hungry,” Allegra voiced her concern and left.A short while later, Isaac dialed Beefy Bob’s number.“Allegra left. Follow her quietly. Call me if anything comes up.”Hibiscus Pavilion was the favorite hangout spot of the nobles in Cloud City because its owner was Big Anthony. Not only did it have an elegant ambiance and delectable food, but it was also free from any disturbances.The hotel was well-decorated to celebrate the occasion. Merr
Isaac was still very concerned after he ended the call with Beefy Bob, so he also went to the hotel. He never expected to see what he saw.Allegra eventually left the supplements as they were and started crying bitterly.“Regardless of all the cold shoulder you’ve been giving her, Ally spent whatever she had for this gift. Who, among all of you, will do the same?” Isaac placed his hands behind his back, and his cold gaze swept across everyone. “Andrew Booth, she’s your sister. Just because you are standing with the Gould family, do you really think you’re one of them?” Isaac looked at Andrew.Andrew averted his gaze and said nothing.Willow scowled and mocked Isaac, “Who do you think you are, Garten? Today’s a big day for the Gould family. Are you even invited to the party?” Willow continued, jeering as she looked at Allegra, “I don’t get you. You look decent enough, but your taste in women is just weird. What do you see in this hideous widow?”“Wearing a facial mask at a place li
Jesse’s eyes were spitting fire as he roared, “Help me, sir! I want two million dollars as compensation and to break both his legs. Or else, I will never be content!”Everyone inhaled sharply. For Jesse to come up with such harsh conditions, he indeed resembled Big Anthony’s savageness!Edward and the rest of the Gould family were delighted. Their plan went smoothly. Nobody could save Isaac now.Allegra was the only one who felt restless. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.“Seems like my man here is merciful toward you, Isaac. Two million dollars and your legs are all it takes to settle this grudge.” Big Anthony chuckled.He said it casually, but the pressure in the ballroom reached its limit. Big Anthony was getting his hands dirty, for sure.On the other hand, Isaac took out his cigarette and lit it. He took a puff and said, “What if I say no?”Allegra shuddered. She unconsiously bit so hard on her lip that it bled.Was he out of his mind? Who gave him the nerve to
Everyone was taken aback at the sight of Phillip holding out his hand to Isaac.Why was this man—who belittled Big Anthony—expressing his goodwill toward an ex-convict?“Same goes for you.” Isaac nodded.Phillip sensed that Isaac wanted to end the conversation. Thus, he said nothing more. He came to the event today as Old Taylor’s representative. It was unforeseen for him to meet Isaac under such circumstances.Phillip grasped the situation instantly and proceeded to help Isaac. In the ballroom, only he was aware of Isaac’s true identity.Big Anthony was enraged at losing face in his own domain. Nevertheless, he dared not show his temper when Phillip was here.He was Big Anthony, the strongest mafia in the underground world. But Old Taylor was powerful enough to eradicate him and his men for good. Nobody would go against Old Taylor—a symbol of ferocity.The mood in the ballroom lightened up. It was at this moment Old Alec made his appearance, accompanied by his daughter, Margare
“Be it the Gould or the Booth family, since you’ve made your position very clear, I’ll make my stand too. You insulted Ally and treated her like an outsider, but you’ll regret your actions soon!”“You still spout nonsense, Garten. She’s just a cleaner who cleans the toilets. We won’t even blink an eye even if she dies.” Edward had veins popping up all over his forehead. He was on the verge of going berserk.Isaac decided to save his words. He held the heartbroken Allegra in his arms and said, “Ally, let’s go.”Allegra wiped her tears and looked at the table where a few beggars had already taken their seats. Her distress slowly turned into determination.“No. I will finish my last meal with the Gould family and engrave today’s humiliation in my heart!” Allegra was shaking all over, her lips pale.Seeing her determination, Isaac sighed and accompanied her to the back.Accusations and criticism flooded in on both sides as they walked by.Edward was delighted at getting his revenge.
A few seconds later, everyone’s eyes turned green with envy!Ten billion dollars was only an estimate! How many jackpots did one have to win to earn that amount?No one was as shocked as the Goulds. A minute ago, Allegra was an unfilial granddaughter. But now, she had become Watson’s foster daughter. Allegra’s eyes widened. Her eyes sparkled as she looked up at Watson, who was smiling at her. Then she turned toward Isaac and realized everyone had their eyes on her. She was still letting the announcement sink in.However, the guests had already come to their senses. They started walking toward Allegra, grinning, each holding a glass of wine.“Miss Booth, I never believed that you were someone unkind. I’m the general manager of Hondes Mechatronics. Here’s to you!”“Miss Booth, we used to study at the same university. It’s a pleasant surprise to meet you here. Cheers!”“Miss Booth, please accept my apology. The Gould family was clearly misleading us moments ago. Damn, Old Alec!
When the feast started, many people crowded around the table Watson was sitting at; they were unceasingly toasting and buttering up to Watson. In contrast, fewer people went up to the Gould family.When the feast was about to end, there was a sudden bang as the door slammed open. Sean, in his dark green robe, and Allen walked in simultaneously. Trailing behind them were Simon and a handful of bodyguards.“Isaac Garten, you have the nerve to enjoy yourself thoroughly at the front row. It never crossed your mind that someone would come after you, did it?” roared Allen.The guests shuddered and looked toward Allen.“I—Isn’t that the head of the Merck family? He doesn’t look like he’s here for the celebration!”“Goodness! Isn’t that Mr. Nox?”“Looks like something big is about to happen!”There was an uproar in the ballroom. Mr. Nox was more well-known to most compared to Allen.Edward was agitated when he saw the newcomers. He whispered to Alec, “Father, this won’t end well for Is
After taking action, they realized that although they could harness certain natural laws, in terms of spirit strength, the opponent was unbeatable.They simply couldn't hurt the civilians at all.Isaac kept blinking behind his opponent trying to launch a sneak attack, only to find that the opponent's spirit shield was incredibly resilient.It was impossible to break open."It's strange, does the realm really protect ordinary civilians? We can't do anything to them at all." Isaac was surprised.They were both shocked and found it unbelievable."We can't do anything to them, and they can't do anything to us either," Mixandrei spoke in a cold tone.It was clear that she was in a bad mood and upset right now.They were offended by a group of ordinary people, yet unable to do anything about them."Please, the two of you should leave. We don't welcome outsiders here. If you are truly kind-hearted, go into the city, there are places there that will welcome you!" At that point, a youn
"Just standing here and watching isn't really helpful. Let's go over and talk to them," Isaac proposed.Mixandrei, although a bit concerned, did not refuse.They walked over.Upon seeing Isaac and Mixandrei, the villagers slightly paused and did not appear overly surprised.That left Isaac and Mixandrei surprised.Wouldn't ordinary villagers be wary when they suddenly see two strangers coming to their village?"Hello, everyone," Isaac greeted.Two fishermen continued chatting casually as they worked, laughing as if nothing unusual was happening."It looks like more outsiders from other realms have arrived. Our place has been bustling lately."......Upon hearing those words, Isaac and Mixandrei were both taken aback.There were many people from other realms?What did that mean?"Hello everyone. As you can see, this is our first time in this realm, and we're not very familiar with it. We would like to learn more from you," Isaac began speaking.He maintained a calm and com
Isaac introduced."I've never heard of such a realm before, and I'm eager to go in and see it!" Mixandrei widened her beautiful eyes in surprise and exclaimed excitedly.After speaking, she reached out and touched the boundaries of that realm.But, she was pushed back as her spirit was unable to get close."Only a portion of our spirit can enter the soul artifact, and even after being enhanced by it, we're not strong enough to go inside. We might need to put all our spirits into the soul artifact, but if we do that, our bodies in the real realm would be motionless, like corpses." Isaac speculated."So what? We can lie in the sarcophagus, and with the protection of the sarcophagus and the secret chamber, our true form will definitely be safe. Then our spirit enters the artifact," Mixandrei proposed."Great idea, let's do it this way!" Isaac nodded in agreement.At that moment, he felt that the coffin yard was remarkable because its defensive power was off the charts.Dreamlerq's
"If you really feel so uneasy, how about I keep you company tonight?" Isaac smiled."Ah? You naughty!" Mixandrei's face turned red as she playfully scolded.Isaac then spent a few relaxing months more with his family.During that period, even someone like Mixandrei, who used to be completely immersed in cultivation, experienced a change in mindset.She realized that those were the truly carefree days.What was the purpose of the effort put into cultivation?Wasn't it all for the freedom they craved?Another six months passed.Skylar's body had finally fully recovered to her peak.Allegra, Evie, and the children were sent back to the lower realm by Isaac.Isaac and Mixandrei could finally begin their journey to explore that mysterious realm."Isaac, I want to... have a child with you." That night, Skylar lay in Isaac's embrace and spoke softly with a hint of shyness."Huh? Why do you think of that?" Isaac asked with interest."Because... I want to keep up with you, at least
"When you were unconscious, I managed to conquer the other two kingdoms. Currently, the Boltzyn Dynasty is still under the rule of several generals from our kingdom. I haven't yet decided who will serve as the emperor there. Elon's eldest son, Ergon, is in charge of the Seraphym Dynasty with Connor and Zaid assisting as Regents. "Once Ergon is ready to take full control, the authority of the Regents will be withdrawn." Isaac pushed Skylar along while explaining and giving an overview of the events that had taken place in the Upper Martial Realm over the past few years.Skylar was quite shocked after hearing that Isaac took down the Seraphym Dynasty and Boltzyn Dynasty.Wasn't it said that it was a turbulent time with powerful figures emerging everywhere, making it unwise to do something so flashy?She had many overwhelming feelings and a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but because of her physical condition, she couldn’t speak up.That made her feel a bit puzzled.Spending ti
"She's recovering, although it might take a while for her to wake up. The important thing is that she survived. I was the one who killed her, and I've always felt guilty about it. Now that she can live again, that's the best outcome." Drea looked at Isaac holding Skylar in his arms. His dry, wrinkled face showed a hint of joy, and he spoke."Haha, it's actually not your fault because, at that time, your body was controlled by an evil corpse spirit. You were essentially another being." Isaac, who was in high spirits, laughed heartily.In a sense, Drea could be considered a corpse spirit too, but he was aligned with him and obeyed his commands, essentially a "righteous" or "good" corpse spirit.It was no longer the purely malevolent corpse spirit it once was.While they both inhabited the same body, their souls were fundamentally different."I'm really curious about that mysterious realm Dreamlerq mentioned. What exactly is it?" Mixandrei asked curiously.That was a secret known
How strong was Dreamlerq?No wonder that Freddie and Esther called him the top prodigy ever since!"Skylar!" Isaac lifted Skylar from the coffin yard and channeled divine energy into her body.Divine energy had miraculous power and of course, the key was that Skylar’s soul was intact and the physical damage to the body wasn’t too severe.The effects of divine energy began to show.Isaac felt a slight movement of Skylar's heart.Then, with thumping sounds, it began to pulsate."It works! It really works!" Isaac was overjoyed.He finally managed to revive Skylar. He truly didn't know what he could do next if it didn't work."She needs a long time to recover, so let her stay here and continue absorbing divine energy. It looks like this Immortal Realm portal will take a few minutes to close," Mixandrei said.Although Skylar had her heart beating, it took some time for a full recovery.Isaac waited patiently.Additionally, he took out the Soul Purifying Flask and coffin, intendi
As someone at the advanced stage of the Divine Sovereign Phase, she could only control a small portion of the principle.However, this powerful being seemed capable of commanding all of it!"Is this…an immortal?" She murmured to herself in awe. The surrounding space shifted, and without anyone realizing it, they had arrived at the immortal tomb. This place was normally inaccessible unless actively opened. However, it had been breached effortlessly under Dreamlerq's influence.The sheer capability was astonishing. "It's such a pity…Sir Freddie passed away too soon. If he were still alive now, just a breath of divine energy or entering the immortal realm would have granted him eternal life…"Isaac's thought left him feeling a sense of regret."Freddie's lifespan had already reached its limits. Even if he inhaled divine energy, he couldn't have been able to live much longer.""As for helping him enter the immortal realm, that's beyond my ability. It would have involved treme
"You're clearly far away in the Immortal realm," Isaac expressed his amazement through his consciousness. "To my knowledge, you're in great need of divine energy right now. With the soul artifact, you'll be able to obtain it," Dreamlerq responded. A spark of joy lit up in Isaac's heart. The soul artifact could help him to acquire divine energy. But how? As the artifact's owner, Isaac had a general understanding of its functions. However, there wasn't an option to open the Immoral Realm. He wasn't at the peak of the Sacrificial Phase, so how could he pierce the Immoral Realm's barrier and create a small opening?"I know what you're wondering. Now that you have my soul artifact, you can easily communicate with me. From my end in the Immortal Realm, I can create a small opening for you to draw in divine energy. Just remember to use the soul artifact to contain the energy, it can hold as much as you're able to capture." Dreamlerq seemed to have guessed Issac's confusion and explai
