The moment she reached the scene, Diana realized it wasn't a typical construction accident. She immediately reported it to the higher-ups."Can I have a closer look?" Isaac pointed at the corpse.Diana knew Isaac was skilled. She nodded and said, "I'm the officer in charge here. Go, and be quick."Then, she signaled to several officers close by. Isaac crossed the yellow tape and headed toward the pit that was pooling with water.The corpse was stiff, which meant he had died for quite some time. Isaac squatted and scrutinized the bloody hole in the corpse's chest.The edge of the wound was ragged. Isaac compared his hand with the hole, and his brows furrowed further."How was it? Did you notice anything?" Diana eagerly asked when Isaac returned.Isaac shook his head and asked, "Did you find his heart nearby?""No.""That's weird!" muttered Isaac, walking outward with his hands behind his back.After gathering evidence from the crime scene, the forensics carried the corpse away
Emily was about to get into her car when Isaac called her to Cloud Nine Villas.Dawn was breaking when Isaac finally arrived at the construction site again. Diana and her team were faster. This time, eight law enforcement vehicles and dozens of officers came.The officers barricaded the workers' hostel with yellow tape. The people in charge of the project followed Diana, talking to her with frightened faces.When they saw Isaac, they approached him, shivering."Mr. Garten. T—This incident is truly unheard of. We can only halt all progress now," said a bespectacled middle-aged man. His voice was trembling.He was a professional in large-scale construction projects, renowned nationwide. He had ventured into this field for over 20 years and had been in charge of various projects. But it was his first time facing such incidents."Let's pause for now. We'll proceed when the authorities arrest the murderer and solve the case." Isaac added, "This is Ms. Booth's instructions."Allegra t
As the worker shiveringly told Isaac what he remembered, a black silhouette appeared at Cloud Nine Villa's doorway.Emily and Allegra sat close to each other, discussing ways to reduce the negative impact the crimes tonight would afflict.The door opened with a bang, and a tall man with fiery red hair appeared at the entrance.The two women shuddered and looked in his direction. They emitted piercing shrieks upon setting eyes on his face and squeezed against each other.His face was ghostly white, his mouth was glaring red, and his eyes were almost white. At first look, he looked as frightening as the evil creatures they saw on television."Hehe! There are two! Which of you is Isaac Garten's wife?" He cackled and even burped as he spoke.Allegra hadn't grasped the situation; Emily spoke before she could, "I am. I am Isaac's wife. W—What do you want?""So, it's you? Hehe! Well, excuse me then." Suddenly, he pounced at them.They shrieked. Then, Allegra stared wide-eyed at the sp
"Ally, how did Emily get caught?" Isaac walked over and gently grabbed Allega's hands.Seeing who had come, Allegra turned around to give Isaac a suffocating hug. She sobbed, "Actually, that person came for me, but Emily…She—She said she was your wife, and that person took her. Isaac, that person looked so scary."After Isaac heard the full story from Allegra, he was sure that the person who had broken into their home was the serial killer from the construction site.He had only caused such a huge commotion at the construction site to get Allegra and bait Isaac out, but he had mistakenly caught Emily instead."Isaac, General Porter is here," Beefy Bob said, walking to the door.Isaac got up to leave, but Allegra held onto him tightly."Don't worry. I'll just be in the hall downstairs. Nothing will happen to you." Isaac patted her back lightly, then added, "We must find Emily as soon as possible, or else her life may be in danger."Allegra nodded profusely, saying, "Isaac, you ca
According to Colton, the Deviant Cult was a hidden and malicious martial arts powerhouse. Back then, Astraeus had gone to Mt. Fentar to eliminate them and had suffered significant losses themselves. But at this point, everything was simply speculation.As Isaac waited for updates, news of what happened during the first phase of the Pegasus No. 1 project spread like wildfire. This only happened because a few cowardly workers had run away.They went around saying that the construction site was haunted and that a handful of people had died.With that, the media began to swarm the place, and the project managers were sent into a frenzy with how busy they became.After resting the entire morning, Allegra wanted to head to the office, saying that over a thousand workers were still terrified and uneasy, so she had to go and handle it.Isaac could only ask Beefy Bob to stay by her side as her bodyguard.In the car, the project manager called. Once Allegra put the phone to ear, she heard
The man in red walked in front of Emily, glancing down at her. Then, he suddenly raised his head to stare at the man in black and spat harshly, "Joseph, you moron, you took the wrong person. She isn't Isaac's woman.""What? The wrong person? But she said…That stupid bitch!" The man in the black cloak snarled, stepping forward to finish off Emily."That's fine. Just dump her here. She probably won't live much longer anyway. Let's not waste more time. The lord said that you must kill Isaac's woman." With that, the man in red turned around and disappeared among the trees.Joseph Hockey raised his head to howl at the sky angrily, his mouth making all sorts of creepy, strange cries. After going through all that trouble, he had taken the wrong person.He leaped onto a tree branch and disappeared into the trees.Night quickly fell. Isaac's phone finally began to vibrate."Black Phoenix, have you found her?""I've found Emily. She's in the mountains at East Park. As for the culprit, I'm
Isaac asked Black Phoenix to track Colton’s location and send it to his phone. Then, he started his car and sped off.At that moment, in one of the law enforcement command centers, a uniformed man with a headset stood up and shouted, “Officer Taylor, keep an eye on that moving car. It’s southeast bound and headed toward Cloud Boulevard.”When Diana, who was sitting at the back, heard that, her expression turned gleeful. Her eyes glimmered.She knew that she was right to keep an eye on Isaac. She couldn’t trace Isaac, so she secretly asked someone to leverage technology to track his car.This time, the culprit had killed so many people in one go. It shocked the higher-ups of Southland and even the national authorities. As the person in charge of the case, she wanted to crack it as quickly as possible.One reason was so that Pegasus No. 1 could instantly resume its progress, and the other reason was so that she would get commendation from the relevant parties.Due to these personal
At the same time, Colton’s silhouette flickered. He spun around and followed closely behind the shadow fist.Joseph was rather surprised. He hadn’t expected one of the generals from the Temple of Drakon. They had found him so soon? Feeling the sheer force of Colton’s punch, he frowned. But he also wanted to see how strong this bastard was.Seeing the purple shadow fist approaching, Joseph let out a loud cry, spreading the fingers on his right hand. Suddenly, a form of gas that looked like blood mist burst forth from his palm. He clenched his fingers and swung at the purple shadow fist.Just as the purple shadow fist was about to hit Joseph’s fist, it suddenly morphed slightly, forming the shape of a tiger’s head. Then, there was a loud roar.“Bloody Fist!” Joseph roared nastily, eyes narrowed into slits. His fist collided with Colton’s Tiger Strike Punch.At first, Joseph’s face was still brimming with confidence, but in the next second, his eyes widened.“Ah…” he shouted in ag
