After Isaac and his men left, there was dead silence in the Isbell family's residence. The only sound present was the rapid breathing of everyone there."Mr. Shaffer, how could this be?" Garrett turned and crawled up to Rodrick, howling.Rodrick looked at Garrett coldly. Suddenly, he kicked Garrett's shoulder and said menacingly, "You old bastard. You caused the deaths of your sons and dragged the Shaffer family down with you. Get lost!"Ned and Ted shuddered. They immediately bowed and said, "Condolences, Mr. Shaffer. Let's take Rodney's body back first."Their clothes were already soaking wet from sweat. Although they had lost several expert martial arts practitioners, at least they had survived, unlike the Shaffer family. They hadn't expected that Isaac would alarm Arian, more so Ethan.The Dorrian and Gilfoyle families wouldn't dare complain about people who were in that position.Ethan needed only to say a word, and they would be doomed forever."Sorry for the trouble." Rod
"Haha! I knew you would ask." Ethan laughed and put down his utensils, glancing at Arian.Arian was dumbfounded. He didn't know what Ethan was up to."Miss Booth, you're remarkable, and so is your husband. The transformation from a prisoner on death row to Cynea's guardian against foreign forces was no easy feat. It's nothing much; I just wanted to ask if you're willing to move the Temple of Drakon back into the country."Arian jolted. The Temple of Drakon, entering the borders?"Move it back into the country? I've thought about it before—after all, it's where our roots are. But, where should I station it?" Isaac lit a cigarette and crossed his legs."What are you doing? Put your legs down." Allegra immediately tugged at Isaac. Why was he assuming such a posture so suddenly?Ethan waved and said, "It's okay. That's how he is." As he spoke, he stood and glanced at Arian again. He continued, "Move it back, and you can choose wherever you want your base to be. You're free to decide
Rodrick sat on his seat, his face as black as thunder."Grandpa, you must avenge Dad! He was only 50 years old. Why…" A young man ran to Rodrick, crying. "Grandpa, Dad died a horrible death. You can't just shrug it off.""Dad, Rodney was fine when he left. What happened at the Isbells? Who dared do this to him?" "Dad, someone murdered the head of our family—we can't leave it like this."Rodrick's gaze swept over his family, all crying and insisting on revenge. He roared, "Shut up!"He wished to avenge his son too, but the culprit was Isaac. He got chills whenever he thought of what Arian had said before he left."I see all of you are present. Listen to me. From this moment onward, everyone in the Shaffer family shall never mention another word of revenge. W—we shall treat it as an accident."After getting the words out of his chest, Rodrick felt his energy draining out of his body. He slumped into his seat.The Shaffers were taken aback. They all had high social status; many o
At the doorway, Lucas and Beefy Bob exchanged a look and exclaimed, "The only time Drakon smiles like this is when he's with Bella.""Ally, why don't you call Emily? We'll have to bother her for a few days. Tomorrow, you and I will take Bella to the Tall Tower. Our sweetie pie will be a true hero for once." Isaac laughed.Allegra rolled her eyes and said coquettishly, "Alright, alright. I'll call Emily. Keep this up, and you'll spoil her."Despite her words, Allegra felt warm from within.Harry was in his tub beside them. He opened his mouth but swallowed his words when he saw Isaac's smile.He spoke when Allegra took Isabella downstairs for a stroll: "Boss, someone rescued that monstrous Sam last night.""Hm?" Isaac looked at Harry."I appointed 20 Dusk Soldiers to keep watch over him before I left. I received news this afternoon that all the soldiers died grisly and Sam disappeared," said Harry furiously.Isaac smiled. "Finally, the Deviant Cult gave themselves away. It's alr
Ralph had imagined Eminente's appearance in many ways, but absolutely not this."Are you Astraeus' new Supreme Leader?" The gorgeous woman grinned at Ralph. Her voice was silky smooth.The moment their eyes met, Ralph felt himself slipping into a trance. He immediately channeled his spiritual energy into his mind and regained clarity.He tensed up. One look from Eminente was all it took to sway him—she was remarkable. "Yes, I am. I've heard a lot about you, Eminente." Ralph bowed neither haughtily nor too humbly—he couldn't humiliate Astraeus now.Deep down, Ralph held no favor for the Deviant Cult.Flynn said through gritted teeth, "Eminente, we're here today to discuss our collaboration to get rid of Isaac. That jerk killed my brother. The Snyder family and Astraeus will go all out to deal with him.""You'll go all out to deal with the lord of the Temple of Drakon, you said? It sounds more like you came to me because he's too strong for you!" Eminente's eyes coldly glinted.
Allegra was excited too. She'd been to Pecling before, but it was her first time going on a trip with her family.Isaac drove with his shades on. Eugene was in the passenger seat, talking about his younger days when he used to visit Pecling on business trips. Allegra sat in the backseat with Isabella, eating snacks and enjoying the fall scenery through the window. It was harmonious.It was a weekday, but there were many tourists. The four of them queued for more than half an hour for the tickets before they could start climbing the Tall Tower.The weather was splendid. Isabella was exhausted before long, so Isaac carried her and conquered the tower in a few breaths.Allegra was undeniably enchanting and graceful, turning heads as she went by.But nobody attempted to woo her, as they saw a man and a child next to her.It wouldn't be a vacation if they didn't enjoy it and take photos. Because of Isabella, Isaac found himself snapping away at the camera like never before.Soon, Isa
"Dad, what's wrong? Your face…" Allegra came to Eugene's side and asked worriedly.The security guards were stunned when they heard these young men knew Raoul. Their faces changed, and they immediately averted their gazes and kept quiet."Wow, what a beauty! Is he your father? Oh my, my bad." Dominic removed his shades when he saw Allegra, his eyes gleaming with lust.He started eyeing Allegra.Eugene told Allegra what had happened. Allegra looked at them angrily and said, "You blocked our car and hit my father! You owe him an apology!""Apology?" The men exchanged glances and burst out laughing."Hey, gorgeous. We've lived in Pecling for our whole lives, and "apology" has never been a part of our vocabulary. How awkward is that?" Dominic abruptly stepped forward and caressed Allegra's cheek, chuckling. "So smooth. Hey, gorgeous. How about this? I'll compensate your old man for 20 thousand dollars. Then, we'll befriend each other and go out for a drink tonight. Does that sound ok
Dominic walked up to the officer, clutching his abdomen. He pointed at his face and threatened, "Look closely at who I am before you bark. I'm Dominic White. Raoul Shaffer is my cousin, the heir to the Shaffer family." Then he bellowed, "That punk started it first, yet you're taking us away? Tell me now, who should you be arresting?"The officer shuddered and paled."I—it's you, Mr. White. I—I'm sorry for not recognizing you." The officer then looked at Allegra and her family with a stern look. "You should come with me to the law enforcement unit. Take them away. Into the car, now."Allegra was stunned. She shouted in a panic, "That's utter nonsense! They're obviously in the wrong, so why are you arresting us? You—"Isaac held Allegra back and said softly, "Don't argue. I'll handle this." Isaac waved and stopped the officers, taking out an entry pass from the car's glove compartment. "Wait. Before you take me away, call Pecling's Police Department and ask them to bring some men ove
