They had also caused Astraeus to fall into chaos. At the very least, they wouldn't be causing trouble for them for quite some time.The only thing he couldn't let go of was Evie.As the plane took off, the morning sun was already piercing through the clouds and shining on the ground. Isaac looked out the window at the Neuport land, murmuring softly, "Evie, wait for me. I'll definitely go to the Everest Sect to find you."The Pegasus No. 1 project was back in full swing in Cloud City. After sending Sam to Beacon Clinic, he only asked Damien to stay as he was the only one of the eight who could practice medicine. The remaining seven generals left.As Isaac said, the 20 thousand Dusk Soldiers and 100 thousand Dawn Soldiers surrounding the Astraeus headquarters had successfully retreated from Neuport completely unharmed.As for Sam, Isaac had instructed Damien to cripple him but kept him alive once the poison in Harry's system was gone.There were more people from the Deviant Cult ou
Hearing her father's exclamation, Allegra also turned to look at the woman on the ground. When she saw the woman's face clearly, she covered her mouth, her face incredulous.She never thought that her lively mother would ever end up like this.Right now, Margaret looked disheveled. She wore ragged garments and was covered in grime. There was a cracked bowl in front of her.Margaret looked at the glowing Eugene, dressed in a dapper suit, then at the dolled-up Allegra. She was also dumbfounded.A security guard hurried over and scolded Margaret, "What are you doing here, beggar scum? Get lost, or I'll beat you."The security guard's ferocious face horrified Margaret. She lowered her head, wobbled to her feet, and was about to leave."Wait, I know this person," Eugene suddenly shouted.The security guard stared at Eugene, flabbergasted. He immediately smiled and said, "It's you, Mr. Booth. You must be here for your award. Do you know this beggar?"The security guard naturally didn
"Isaac? He was in your class back then, right? I remember him vaguely." Elio regarded Isaac from head to toe. Seeing his average sense of style, he asked, "Where do you work, Mr. Garten?"Isaac smiled and replied, "I'm currently unemployed."Hearing that, a look of disdain crossed Elio's eyes. He said in a mocking tone, "Then you're doing something wrong. You have a wife as beautiful as Allegra, but you, the man, are the one holed up at home. If you're not careful, your wife may run off with someone else."With that, Elio's eyes roved over Allegra's body.After a few years of not meeting each other, he noticed she now seemed much more mature and feminine."It's still early. Allegra, why don't we find somewhere to grab a coffee and talk?" Elio raised his right hand, intentionally revealing his Patek Phillippe, and beamed at Allegra.Allegra felt awkward. She had asked him for many favors back in university."My wife is tired. Let's go another time," Isaac said, declining directly
Inside the Jeep were five professional bodyguards dressed in black suits. They followed closely behind Isaac and Allegra's car."Drop me off at the junction in front. You send Ally home to rest." Isaac narrowed his eyes, smiling."Isaac, will you be alright?" Allegra asked, slightly worried."I'll be fine. You go home first, take a hot shower, and get some rest."At the junction, Isaac got down from the car. He lit a cigarette and looked at the Jeep, which had also stopped by the side of the road.Seeing the car stop, Isaac smiled and walked into an alleyway.Inside the Jeep, the man in the passenger seat asked a bald bodyguard in the backseat, "Sir, that bastard has got off the car. What should we do?""Our boss wants us to teach that punk a lesson. Come on, let's follow him." A fierce look crossed the bald man's eyes. He opened the car door and alighted.There was a café in the alley. Isaac went straight to the first floor, found a booth, and sat down.He took out his phone
The five bodyguards were shocked by this situation. Suddenly, there were so many people. It seemed that this person wasn't any ordinary person.Shaking, one of them took out their phone and dialed Elio's number."S—sir, this bastard said he wants to see you. W—will you come?""Haha, Trey, what's got you all shaken up? I bet that bastard was beaten so badly he's hunting for his teeth on the floor and begging for mercy. Give me your location, and I'll be right there. Ah, don't use so much force. It hurts!"Before the bald man could finish speaking, Elio hung up.Half an hour later, Elio strutted upstairs, his face swollen like a pig's."Where is he? Let me give him a few slaps too!" He didn't pay close attention to the thugs wearing black in the vicinity, causing a huge ruckus as soon as he entered.Those five bodyguards were exceptionally skilled. He thought that beating Isaac would just be like smacking a mosquito, and that he was wasting their abilities on a small fry like him.
In the presidential suite of the Lakeview International Hotel, Elio sat on the sofa, his face still swollen beyond recognition. The four bodyguards, who had been beaten to a pulp, stood nervously by the wall."They're all shitheads, all of them!" Elio said, venting his anger."Sir, that guy is clearly not good news. I asked around, and that punk next to him is the underground lord of Southland, Shawn Xeno.""Who's the motherfucking underground lord of Southland?""The one who kicked you to the sofa…"Elio was breathing heavily. He'd been slapped thrice, his subordinate had gotten his hand chopped off, and he'd even pissed himself. He'd never been this humiliated before, and this all happened in one day.He lit a cigar and took a few puffs. He said coldly, "Alright, since I'm the mighty foreigner who can't beat the local hoodlum, then I need to think of a way to bring that woman, Allegra, to Sunton. Fucking bastard!"A cold light flashed in Elio's eyes, and a wicked smile decorat
Isaac knocked. He pushed open the door to see Eugene sitting at his desk in a daze.Seeing Isaac enter, he was surprised because Isaac had never come to his room before."What's wrong? You don't look too well today," Isaac asked, handing him a cigarette.His guess was that it was about their encounter with Margaret yesterday.But Eugene lit the cigarette and replied furiously, "After the organizers gave me the award yesterday, they told me today that they had made a mistake and took it back. Tell me, aren't they just shameless?"Isaac paused. He suddenly thought of Elio and immediately understood."I thought something major had happened. This award is meaningless. Aren't you going to the provincial capital to compete? That's the award that counts!" Isaac replied comfortingly, breathing out a smoke ring."Yeah, I know. This time, I'm going to show everyone in the provincial capital what my retro menswear is made of." Eugene nodded solemnly.At that moment, the door suddenly slam
Emeria was a military elementary school, and although it wasn't the most prestigious, it was led by a member of the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs. Therefore, all of its students were descendants of influential military personnel.Furthermore, the teachers who taught there came from reputable backgrounds too.Since Isabella was an exchange student with no special remarks on her recommendation slip, the head teacher thought she was a student from an average background.Besides, she didn't like how Isaac had hollered at her over the phone. So, she closed the doors and went back home.Allegra and Eugene were anxious. After all, they were in the capital city, where the upper class gathered. From what they had learned from social media, anyone they passed on the street could easily be a high-ranking officer from a particular bureau.Half an hour later, a white BMW stopped before the administration wing. A bespectacled young woman in a trench coat and a man with a crew cut got out
