Holden’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly pulled out his phone and called his wife.Moments later, the call got through, but a man was speaking on the other end. He laughed flirtatiously. “Mr. Neal, you’re filthy rich. Look at the valuables in your possession!”Holden could hear women's and children’s sniffs and sobs in the background.“Wh—who the hell are you?” bellowed Holden through gritted teeth.“I? My boss is standing right before you. You have his wife, remember?”Holden jerked his head toward Isaac. Isaac was chuckling.Damn you! Damn you, freaking bastard!Who could’ve thought someone would be so bold as to invade the Neal family mansion? Milo had thought several steps ahead and arranged 100 elite soldiers lying in ambush around their house, but still…“Holden, i—is everything okay?” Milo and Yvette looked worried.Isaac said, “As far as I know, there are 19 people in the Neal family. Besides the three of you and the already-dead Xayden Neal, 15 fragile people remain.
Allegra was stunned. From the moment she’d landed to see Black Phoenix dangling from the cliff with her limbs tied and then witnessing Black Phoenix’s adept escaping techniques, she was processing it all.She finally understood what Isaac meant when he said someone would be after her. If she were the one dangling from the cliff, could she escape like Black Phoenix did when the rope broke? Impossible!When Allegra’s gaze fell on the Gould siblings and Andrew, tears streamed down her cheeks.She pointed at Margaret, sobbing as she asked Isaac, “She—Did they just stand by and w—watch as I hung in the air, off the c—cliff? They did nothing at all?”Isaac wiped her tears and softly said, “Don’t cry. I allowed you to come because there are some things that you have to see for yourself. I don’t know what else I can say regarding your mother and brother.”Edward threatened Allegra when he saw her bursting into tears, “Allegra Booth, now that you’re here, you and Isaac will never leave thi
The Eastwell soldiers were dumbfounded and dared not take another step.Upon seeing their reaction, the remaining generals leaped back to Isaac’s side.When Isaac’s gaze fell on Jordyn, the latter’s face changed drastically. He swiftly went behind Margaret and pointed a dagger at her throat.The sexy woman behind him grabbed Andrew’s neck.“E—Edward, w—what’s your boss trying to do?” Margaret felt the iciness of the dagger pressing on her neck. She didn’t expect Edward’s boss to target her and Andrew so abruptly.Edward’s feelings were in turmoil when he saw his sister’s terrified eyes, but he understood that Jordyn was doing that for the sake of their lives.“Isaac, Allegra, do something stupid, and I’ll send your mother and brother to hell!” Jordyn glared at Isaac menacingly.Isaac overlooked that. He was wondering why Margaret and Andrew had come along.He thought their hatred toward him intensified, but who could’ve guessed that it was part of Jordyn’s trap?Allegra’s eyes
Allegra was trying to catch up on the turn of events. She’d never imagined her uncle could be so merciless.“Darling, what should we do with Edward? It’s up to you,” asked Isaac gently.“He…he deserves to die a miserable death.” Allegra stared at Edward with reddened eyes. Edward was in a crazed state.Isaac nodded and looked at Edward as he coldly said, “Luck is on your side. My wife says to let you die a miserable death. Edward Gould, I told you. One day you’ll beg me to end your life.” As Isaac spoke, his finger flicked.Elliot and Lucas were beside him; they waved their hands together and formed a dagger-shaped shadow in the air with their spiritual energies. The daggers flew directly at Jordyn’s and the woman’s foreheads.Immediately after, they bolted forward like cannons.Isaac had been putting on an act to distract Jordyn and his assistant. He wanted them to think he was going after Edward.Nevertheless, the other generals paid attention to Isaac. Once he gave the signal
“At least your son is still breathing. Another word from you, and I’ll throw both of you down,” said Isaac ferociously. Margaret was stunned and shut up.She knew Isaac was in control now. These extraordinary people were under him.He was the lord of the Temple of Drakon!Allegra jolted. She finally understood why Elliot and Lucas attacked her mother and brother—they did it to rescue them.“Drakon, what’s next?” Elliot asked respectfully.Isaac looked up at Holden and his siblings and said coldly, “Take them to the Neal family mansion. I’ll show everyone from Astraeus the consequences of opposing me!”Beefy Bob caught Edward. He couldn’t move, so he could only grit his teeth and glare at Isaac.Tens of thousands of Eastwell soldiers surrounded Mt. Tonare, but not one dared step in their way as Isaac and the rest descended the mountain, given they had Holden in their hands. Besides, the generals were on the lookout too.By 4 am, a few black Jeeps had slid into the Neal family ma
Isaac waved at Harry on the newcomers’ arrival, and Harry immediately called out to the Dusk Soldiers in the house to stop.Glenn, the First Elder, was standing in the lead, wearing a maroon cloak. Behind him were three elders in light red cloaks. They emitted subtle ripples of formidable spiritual energy and looked cold.“First Elder! Save us! Save my family!” Cyrus screamed desperately for help, knowing what was happening.Glenn frowned and scanned his surroundings.The generals had closed in almost immediately and emanated their spiritual energies. They made their stand clear and seemed like they were goading Glenn.Glenn’s brows furrowed harder.He smiled all of a sudden. “Drakon, it was all a misunderstanding on our part. Who could’ve guessed that it would snowball to this extent?”“You mean, you mistook me for a general from the Temple of Drakon and thought I wouldn’t be a threat no matter how strong I was. Did I guess correctly?” Isaac smiled. “However, now that you know
Glenn took a quick step backward. His tone was cooler when he smiled and replied, “If you disagree, I’m afraid you will never see Evie again.”“Take down every single one of them!” Without hesitation, Isaac raised his hand and shouted.“Take down every single one of them!” Harry immediately repeated the instructions to the soldiers in the house.“Isaac, you…” Glenn and the other elders stared at him wide-eyed.The next moment, shrieks pierced through the air and continued for several minutes before everything turned silent.The doors creaked open, and the Dusk Soldiers filed out. Those on the lawn needed only to turn to see the bodies sprawled over the floor. A thick stench of blood drifted in the air.Edward’s legs started shaking when he saw this. Warm fluid streamed down his legs.He’d never known Isaac to be such a gruesome character. There were almost 20 people in there. The Neal family from Eastwell, a martial family well-known even in Astraeus, was gone like the wind.Al
Jordyn looked back when he sensed the killing intent. Under the faint light, he saw a silhouette speeding toward them.His eyes widened, and he shouted at his subordinate, “Watch out! Behind you—”He hadn’t finished speaking when the silhouette increased his speed and caught up with Jordyn’s subordinate. There was a glint as he stabbed a dagger into her back.“Keep running, sir!” She yelled in agony as she slowly dropped to the ground.She wasn’t like any other bodyguard. After Jordyn had arrived in the capital, his grandfather had personally chosen her to keep Jordyn safe. They’d been together for as long as they knew.Their relationship grew even more intimate when they reached adulthood.“You won’t get away.” Colton withdrew his dagger and went after Jordyn without delay.Jordyn could never resist the might of an expert likened to a god of war. When Colton locked onto him, he felt like his legs were made of lead.His eyes widened, and he saw Colton getting closer, his featu
