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
Margaret's decision proved Isaac right; someone like her shouldn't be anywhere near Allegra.Soon, everyone saw them off with two Dusk Soldiers lifting Andrew.Harry scratched his head. He didn't understand Isaac's intentions."Everyone, it's been a long day, and I'm sure you're all exhausted. Get some rest at the villa hotel I had arranged." Then, Isaac turned to Allegra. She still had tear streaks on her face. "Ally, let's get some rest."Allegra gazed at the man before her. Suddenly, he felt like a stranger to her, but she didn't dare to refuse as she had previously done.The villa hotel wasn't far from the Neal family's residence. The cars left one after another, leaving behind a dozen Dusk Soldiers to clean up after them.Allegra looked out of the window of the executive car they were in. The incidents of the night seemed to be like a dream to her.She didn't know much about the Neal family, but judging from the size of their mansion, they were indeed on a different level f
Elliot left after a short while. He knew Drakon had made up his mind, and there was no changing it; all he had to do was execute it.However, that meant Elliot couldn't sleep a wink tonight. 100,000 Eastwell soldiers were running around without a leader. He must accomplish the task Isaac assigned him before Astraeus entrusted the army to someone else.Isaac went upstairs to find Allegra deep in sleep. She must have been exhausted.He took a shower and lay on the bed.At that moment, news of the Neal family's obliteration spread like wildfire among the aristocrats in Seascape. Presidents of various corporations and leading figures from different departments received the shocking news.Finley Montoya, president of Seascape Chamber of Commerce, was in his robe, smoking away in his study when his phone vibrated. He immediately answered it."So? Who did it?""Mr. Montoya, we know who did it. The Neal family irked the Temple of Drakon. Last night, the lord and generals of the Temple o
However, a middle-aged man behind them frowned and snorted, "Finley, who's the big shot? The nerves he has to keep us waiting out here!"The man speaking was Rowen Hines, the patriarch of the Hines family and Fortune Jewelry Corporation's president. Fortune Jewelry Corporation was ranked second in Seascape.Beefy Bob frowned. He snorted, "No one invited you. Get going if you're unwilling to wait."It was already dawn when Isaac and Allegra fell asleep. Why would he wake them up for the likes of these people?"Holy shit, you fatso! Do you have any idea who we—""Mr. Hines, that's enough. Be quiet," Finley scolded. Then, he smiled at Beefy Bob and said, "Forgive us, Mr. Bob. We'll wait right here. Mr. and Mrs. Garten should rest well."Allegra had already come downstairs by then. She saw Beefy Bob entering and also a bunch of people waiting outside. She asked, "Bob, are they here for Isaac?""You're awake, Allegra. Seascape's official in charge, the Chamber of Commerce's president
