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
Before Rowen could respond, Finley reprimanded him, "Rowen Hines, what do you think you are doing? Have you forgotten what we talked about before we came?"Jefferson frowned too. Something wasn't right—Rowen was acting strange."Mr. Hines, we can go through your concerns once we leave. For now, please be humble in Mr. Garten's presence!" Jefferson looked at Rowen coldly."Haha! Humble? Finley, Mr. Wilkin, you both are the pride of Seascape in your respective fields. But you cower before this guy named Isaac—why?" Rowen burst out laughing.His face abruptly turned gloomy. He pointed at Isaac as he bellowed at Jefferson and Finley, "You don't remember, don't you? My niece had just married Milo Neal's son last month, and she died at the Neal family's residence last night. This brute did it. Today, I'll avenge my niece no matter the consequences!" Rowen was glowering.Finley's and Jefferson's faces changed. Everything happened so suddenly that they forgot about the wedding last month.
Lucas, Lightning, Colton, Janessa, Willis, and Mitchell walked in.After they entered, the atmosphere in the living room grew more intense. Jefferson and Finley started sweating, more so those who came with them—their legs were shaking so much they almost lost their balance.Isaac waved at Harry, saying, "Cripple Rowen, and toss him out." Then, he smiled as he ordered the others to leave. "Jefferson, Finley, I'll bear in mind your hospitality. I believe we'll meet each other again soon. I have matters to attend to, so I won't keep you any longer."Rowen's piercing shriek reached them from outside. Finley and Jefferson shuddered. They nodded and immediately turned to leave.They couldn't wait to be out of there; they couldn't hold up any longer.Isaac, Allegra, and the generals remained in the living room."Everyone, you've all heard about my family. Let me introduce you guys before we have our meal. My wife, Allegra. Allegra, these are my comrades; we've been fighting alongside e
Isaac put down his phone and stood. Seeing the confusion on the generals' faces, he smiled. "What is it? Y'all don't want a break?""It's not that, Drakon. Then, when shall we return to our garrisons?" Lightning stood and asked."When the time comes, someone will notify y'all. Alright then, dismiss!" Isaac waved and left.He went to the living room and walked up to Allegra, saying, "Ally, follow Black Phoenix and Apothecary back to Cloud City. I'll follow once I've finished handling some matters.""Oh…Take care." Allegra pursed her lips and nodded. She looked worried.Beefy Bob drove while Isaac sat at the back. They headed for east of Seascape.They stopped before a bungalow in a high-end residential area.The corpses of two security guards lay at the entrance. They entered the living room, and Lupinus was there. Behind him were less than 20 trembling people scared out of their wits.An elderly lady lay on the couch in a daze. She looked like she was in her eighties."Drakon,
"I—Is this Mr. Jordyn Isbell?" Old Brooks' voice trembled as he asked."This is Seascape Law Enforcement Unit. What business do you have with Jordyn Isbell?"Law Enforcement Unit?"Wh—Where is Mr. Isbell? It's urgent.""Don't you know Jordyn Isbell is dead?" Beep…Beep…Old Brooks froze. Jordyn, dead? How could he be dead?He didn't want to give up, so he called the number again."Who exactly are you? We're busy at the moment," said the officer impatiently."M—May I know what happened to the Neal family? Wasn't Jordyn with them?" Old Brooks' tone grew agitated.As someone born and raised in Seascape, Old Brooks chose Jordyn for another reason—he knew Jordyn was allying with the Neal family to take Isaac down."The Neals are gone. None survived," the other side answered and hung up.Old Brooks tumbled back onto the floor with a thud.One of the locals asked carefully, "Sir? Did something happen?"They were from a local village. All they knew about Old Brooks was he had a g
