They reached the entrance, where the four Crimson Guards were standing guard. Jason waved his hand at them impatiently and said, “What are you still doing here? Fuck off. I want to talk to Ms. Lopez alone.”The four guards left, and Jason entered the room.Evie was sitting at the edge of the bed. When she saw Jason coming in, she hurriedly wiped off the tears from her face and looked away.Jason chuckled. He walked slowly toward her with his hands behind his back.He bent down and crouched to look at Evie, saying softly, “Seems like you lost some weight. It must've been hard for you.”“Get away from me, Jason Yves! You won’t get anything from me even if you force me to marry you!” Evie yelled at him.When he saw her in a rage, Jason just laughed loudly.“Oh, I’m sorry, are you still thinking about that loser Isaac? I mean, you’re about to be married off, and yet he still hasn’t appeared. I don’t think he’s going to save you today.”Evie glared at him and said through gritted teeth, “It
Everyone in the audience stood up. Many of the people at the back stood on their tiptoes to get a better look at the new couple. They knew that the bride of the eldest son of the Yves family wasn’t just a random girl from the streets.It was such a rushed marriage that the guests knew there had to be something else going on behind the curtains. Everyone was so curious and eager to see who the bride was and where she came from.Jason stood on top of the stage with the corsage on his chest as he looked toward the end of the hall, where the doors were.Evie was slowly making her way down the path in a white veil and with the help of a few bridesmaids.The audience wasn’t able to catch sight of Evie’s face. However, they erupted in loud claps and cheers when they saw her beautiful figure.Evie reached the stage and stood next to Jason. The emcee handed the mic to him and asked, “I would like to ask the groom how he’s feeling right now. Is there anything you’d like to say?”“I never thought
He then tore off the skintight mask on his face and revealed himself to be Isaac.Gasp!Evie’s eyes nearly popped out of her sockets. She covered her mouth in shock and took a step backward.Jacob’s jaw dropped open. He was completely frozen in shock. Next to him, his wife let out a scream and nearly fainted.Glenn, on the other hand, stood up immediately and emitted a strong current of spiritual energy.The thousands of guests below were stunned. How could the groom end up being someone else? Was this just an optical illusion?“Jeremiah, send the guests back home. This wedding is canceled!” Glenn said coldly.“What do you mean, canceled? I’ve already recited my vows to Evie, and she’s said hers to me. How can you just cancel it like that?” Isaac asked with a chuckle. He also emitted a strong wave of spiritual energy that rushed straight for Glenn as he grabbed Evie’s ice-cold hands.“Silly little girl, how could you agree to marry someone else without my permission?”Evie wanted to sa
As Isaac spoke his final word, the entire Yves family, Glenn, and the other two elders were suppressed by a great invisible force.Isaac put his hands behind his back and walked down the stage, heading toward Glenn. His stare never left Glenn’s face.He didn’t even spare a glance at the two elders cowering behind Glenn.“Y—you’re in the final Renascence Phase?” Glenn was sweating buckets as he resisted the invisible force that was making it hard to breathe, even for him.Wait, that couldn’t be it.He was also a final Renascence Phase practitioner. How could it be that Isaac’s power was so much stronger than his own?Could it be that Isaac had reached the Divinity Phase?“Glad you figured that out,” Isaac said with a curt scoff. His eyes shot out a deadly beam at Glenn.Strike!Glenn suddenly shuddered all over and spat out a mouthful of blood.That glare from Isaac felt like a heavy punch to his chest.When she saw this, Evie was even more shocked than before. She mumbled to herself, “
“Do you hear me?”Glenn’s face was so swollen from the slaps that he could barely breathe. Anger and hatred rose in his heart, but he couldn’t show them on his face.“Y—yes, I hear you,” Glenn said quietly, his head hanging.Just then, Jeremiah roared from the back and said, “Elder Snyder! I still have ten or 20 thousand Cadaver Guards at my disposal; why are you still agreeing to what that fucker says? We can fight until our last breath!”Jeremiah and Glenn were old buddies, and he'd always been proud to be Glenn’s close friend.Now, he no longer knew whether Jason was still alive or not, and he was seeing his most respected friend and Elder kowtowing to an enemy. Jeremiah just couldn’t wrap his head around it.He had plenty of Cadaver Guards who were willing to fight. Even if Isaac managed to fight off all of them, he would be completely exhausted by the time he was done!Isaac lifted his eyes to look at Jeremiah and scoffed coldly. “Ten, 20 Cadaver Guards? You don’t know who you’re
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Isaac held Evie’s hand and left the backyard. The helicopter landed in the middle of the field. Beefy Bob jumped out of the helicopter and followed Isaac.As soon as Isaac was gone, the entire backyard erupted in chaos.“Elder Snyder, Elder Snyder! What are we going to do now? What should we do?” Jeremiah asked in a flurry as he helped Glenn up from the ground.Third Elder walked up from behind and said coldly, “Elder Snyder, Isaac has gone overboard now! How could he hit you like this and summon so many Dusk Soldiers? He’s just too much! I can't stand the likes of Isaac walking all over us! I think that we should—”“Oh my god, will you just shut the fuck up? Why didn’t you do anything just now since you’re not the least bit afraid of him?” Glenn yelled at Third Elder.The elder turned red in the face. He was mad, but he didn’t dare to say anything else.“Even if we all joined forces to go against him, there’s nothing we can do against the Drakon, who ha
Isaac had slapped Glenn many times without any resistance or retaliation from him. Isaac’s aura was not to be joked with. Old Yves was terrified whenever he recalled what had happened earlier.If Glenn was leaving, wouldn’t that leave him and his family vulnerable to Isaac's wrath?“Don’t worry. I’m the only one leaving. Third Elder and Fifth Elder will stay and protect you and your family.”The two elders were stunned. They were about to retort, but First Elder glared at them quickly, and they shut up.Jeremiah was relieved when he heard that the two other elders would stay behind. The weight just lifted from his shoulders. He gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t worry, First Elder; we'll do whatever we can to stall him.”“Alright. Go and tell your guards to get ready to fight. Make sure to get your hands on Evie when Isaac makes his move. She’s his weakest spot.” Glenn nodded his head in satisfaction.As soon as Jeremiah left, the two elders started showing their anxiety.Elder Ziegler
“Old man, do you know the consequences of your actions?” Isaac asked Jeremiah with a cold sneer.Aside from Jeremiah, his son Jacob, and seven powerful fighters, they also had around ten other martial arts fighters who were all in the beginning stage of the Amalgamation Phase. Jeremiah pointed at Isaac and roared, “Isaac Garten, I’m not going to let you go, even if it costs me my life!”Just before Glenn had made a run for it, he’d told Jeremiah that both Third Elder and Fifth Elder would arrive and help him hold off Isaac as soon as the fighting started. This was the reason for Jeremiah’s confidence.Isaac frowned and said, “Alright then, we’ll see what you’ve got.”He then leaped at Jeremiah and his troop at the speed of lightning.He knew that these people were just stalling him to buy Glenn more time. Although the Dusk Soldiers were brilliant fighters, they wouldn’t be able to resist Glenn for long.Isaac’s spiritual energy exploded from his body. His speed shocked Jeremiah. The o
