"Hello, who is this?" A low voice came from the phone."Glenn, it seems like my words went out your other ear. Why hasn't Evie returned to Cloud City?" Isaac smiled lightly.The other person on the phone paused for a moment. He was really shocked that Isaac had managed to get his number."So it's Drakon. Haha, what are you saying? Evie isn't in Cloud City? Well, I don't know about that. Evie's the eldest princess; only the Supreme Leader can control her," Glenn said in a neutral tone.A flash of mockery glinted in Isaac's eyes. "Where's your Supreme Leader? I want to pay him a visit.""Isaac, don't cross the line. The Astraeus has been very lenient with your behavior. The Supreme Leader isn't someone you can see at your whim and fancy," Glenn answered, his tone freezing over."In that case, I can only go ask Evie herself." Isaac felt something was off.Glenn immediately laughed coldly and said, "You're going to look for Evie? Isaac, let me remind you that even if you're the lord
"Glenn, are you trying to start a rebellion?"Glenn's smile remained unaffected by Evie's roar, but his eyes flashed menacingly.He turned to look at the two elders behind him, smiled, and said, "Evie, those are big accusations you're making. The Supreme Leader didn't order whatever happened between you and Xayden, but it is his decree that you marry Jason. If you don't believe me, the Third Elder and Fifth Elder can vouch for me."Behind him, the Third Elder and Fifth Elder chimed in immediately, "That's right, this is indeed the Supreme Leader's instruction. Even if we were the bravest people to ever live, we would never dare fabricate the will of the Supreme Leader."The door suddenly opened with a creak, and a furious Evie appeared before the three men."Glenn, I will never believe another word you say ever again. If this is really my father's wish, then bring me evidence. Let me talk to him or see him. I would never disobey my father's wishes! But if it isn't true, I would ra
Old Taylor said that Diana might not make it and that she was currently being resuscitated at the Aurum County Hospital.Before leaving the house, Isaac dragged Harry, who hadn't slept a wink the entire night, along. He couldn't understand how Diana had gone from being fine to being on the brink of death.When the two arrived at the emergency room, Jane was already sobbing her eyes out, and Albert was holding her, looking pale.Old Taylor sat in a chair to the side, gripping his cane. They rushed to Isaac immediately when they noticed him there. "Mr. Garten, you're here. I don't know what's wrong with Ana. She suddenly had a bacterial infection, and now her heart is failing," Jane wailed, gripping Isaac's hand.Albert fell to his knees. "Mr. Garten, I'm begging you to save my daughter."After what happened with the Owens, Albert got a blessing out of a curse and got promoted a few months ago. With that, he had more authority and was now very busy at work.But he knew that this
The electrifying sensation at her ears made Allegra shiver. She said weakly, "Don't mess around, or the food may end up burned. Why don't you give Dad a call and ask him when he's coming back?" Then, she reminded him with a blush, "Stop calling him "Eugene"." Isaac walked to the living room. Hearing Isaac call him "Dad" for the first time in seven years had scared the old man. Eugene said he'd come home right away and have a drink with Isaac.Later that night, it began to rain cats and dogs outside. After a long day, Allegra was already sound asleep. Isaac went to the study, lit a cigarette, and opened his laptop.At that moment, in the underground warehouse of the Beacon Clinic, Harry asked Sean for two thugs to keep watch over Joseph.Late in the night, Joseph—who'd been tortured to the point of exhaustion—raised his head to see the two thugs smoking and chatting outside the warehouse door.He raised his head slowly to look at the window behind him. Outside, lightning flashed i
The plane touched down at Zonja International Airport. After exiting the airport, Isaac said, "Let's find a hotel to rest for the night.""Er, aren't we supposed to go look for Joseph?""He already left Colorino over an hour ago," Isaac said, narrowing his eyes as he lit a cigarette.He didn't have to give it any thought; it must've been Glenn's idea."Let's go find Evie tomorrow." Isaac's gaze swept over his surroundings, and he walked toward a black Audi.Later that night, the Yves family manor in Zonja was still brightly lit with candles. In the living room, Glenn sat at the head seat, and next to him were Jeremiah, his two sons, and his grandson, Jason."First Elder, wouldn't it be too much of a rush to hold the wedding tomorrow? Even if Isaac really came, Westerton isn't under the Temple of Drakon's control," Jeremiah said, frowning.Glenn snorted coldly and replied, "Jermiah, do you want to join the Council of Elders or not?"Jeremiah paused. He then nodded and smiled. "F
The man in black paused momentarily before smiling. He said flatteringly, "You will definitely impress your grandfather and the First Elder, and afterward, Ms. Evie will definitely fall for you.""Hmm, you're right. But if my grandfather thinks so highly of Isaac, then he definitely isn't someone ordinary. He even annihilated the Neal family, so we can't underestimate him. Ask Uncle Joshua and Wayne to gather 100 Crimson Guards in 20 minutes. Make sure that my family doesn't find out."Jason stood, his face prideful.The "Uncle Joshua" Jason mentioned was one of the Yves family's eight best experts. He was already in the advanced stage of the Amalgamation Phase. Not to mention, the commander of the Crimson Guards, Wayne Holler, was also about to step into the advanced stage of the Amalgamation Phase.With a hundred Crimson Guards behind him, Jason was full of confidence that he could sneakily attack Isaac in his sleep.The Jasmine Hotel was rather secluded. A dozen or so Jeeps sur
The pungent smell of blood filled the air. Isaac sat arrogantly in a chair in front of the innermost window of the room, and standing next to him was Beefy Bob, wielding daggers in both hands.The path from the doorway to Isaac and Beefy Bob was littered with the Crimson Guards' corpses. Their blood had dyed the entire carpet red.The 35 or so people who had entered just now were all lying dead there."I'm a little surprised that you would serve yourselves up to me on a platter without me even going looking for you." Isaac grinned, holding a cigarette pinched between his fingers.Jason turned his head to look at Joshua and Wayne, then pointed at Isaac and said angrily, "Kill them!"When they saw that a few dozen Crimson Guards were dead, Joshua and Wayne exchanged looks, their bodies radiating murderous intent. They roared furiously and ran inside, waving their fists."You have a death wish!" Beefy Bob laughed coldly, calling upon the spiritual energy within him and charging at t
After Isaac sent Black Phoenix a text, he gave Beefy Bob a glance. "Beefy Bob, have a chat with this punk and ask him why he brought these people here to kill me."Soon after, Beefy Bob went to Isaac's other room. He said with amusement, "Isaac, the Yves family is the most powerful martial family in Eastwell. The guy we captured is the eldest grandson of the Yves family, and he's supposed to m—marry Evie. He said that this was all arranged by Glenn.""That punk wants to marry Evie?" Isaac narrowed his eyes, his eyes freezing over.No wonder… At that moment, realization hit him, and everything fell into place.Glenn was most likely scheming all this time. No wonder Evie hadn't returned after she left Cloud City.The Yves family was the biggest martial family in Eastwell, but they weren't as powerful as the Neal family because they didn't have an elder.With the Neal family eliminated, the Yves had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, wanting to marry Evie into their family. They had
