Allegra was alarmed to see Elio there. She asked warily, "Why are you here?""Haha! Did you forget I'm from Sunton? My family contributed half the amount needed to organize this forum," Elio said with a smile.Margaret looked at Elio's gaze and whispered to Allegra, "This guy isn't a decent man."Elio was stunned. He burst out laughing. "I'm not a decent man? There, there. I believe you're wrong, Mrs. Booth. I'm one of the youngest philanthropists in Sunton. My annual donations amount to more than tens of millions of dollars." Elio laughed as he walked to the front. "I'll come back to you for a drink, Allegra."Allegra gritted her teeth and tugged Margaret up. "Mom, let's take a stroll outside."The hotel was close to the tourist attraction at Westlake. As guests at the forum, they could access the tourist spot via virtual tickets. Allegra intended to take her mother to enjoy the night view.Elio reached the front of the ballroom and noticed Allegra and her mother had left. He co
"Ugh! Please, I beg you. I won't do it again. I won't. Please…"Seeing Elio's terrified expression, Beefy Bob hurled him onto the ground and glared at the two subordinates. They were so scared that they fell to their knees.Beefy Bob bent down and grabbed the throat of the man who'd spoken earlier. He said coldly, "You sent those men after Allegra, didn't you?"Crack!Beefy Bob broke his neck before he could answer.Elio's legs gave way, and he crashed onto the floor. The surviving subordinate lost control of his bowels, wetting his pants as he covered his mouth, horrified."This is a warning for you. Do anything stupid, and you'll end up like that guy." Beefy Bob shot Elio a glance and left.Nearly five minutes passed before Elio regained his senses, glowering. He mumbled, "Bastard. You should've killed me. Now, it's my turn."He pulled out his phone, hands shaking, and called a number. "Uncle Witt, I want to hire the best fighters from Canaan Sect. Yes, someone attempted to m
As the elevator doors closed, Allegra's room door opened. Allegra and Margaret, in their pajamas, looked out anxiously.The commotion had woken them up.Allegra looked at the men on the floor and asked in surprise, "Bob, wh—who are they?""Ally, stay in your room until I return. Report the incident to the authorities, and don't open your door." Beefy Bob instructed in a low voice. Then he turned and went after the fleeing men.He reached the car park and saw the two men dashing toward a luxury car.The three elders closed in on him from the sides.Elio got out of the car and pointed at Beefy Bob with a menacing look. "Kill him!"Beefy Bob looked at the elders and then at Elio. He said coldly, "Elio Reinhart, Isaac gave you a second chance, but you still dared to ruffle his feathers?" Then he looked at the three elders. "Are you from Astraeus or some other organizations? Heed my advice and leave at once."Francis got out of the car and shouted at the elders, "Didn't you hear Mr.
"A—Ally has been kidnapped! You were still asleep then!" Margaret cried.The fuck?Eugene was wide awake at once. "Quick, call the police! I'll call Isaac!"Then, Eugene rushed inside and hurriedly dialed Isaac's number.Isaac answered the call at once. Eugene said shakily, "Isaac, A—Ally…""I know. I'm already on the way to the airport. Please take care of yourselves; I'll handle the rest." Isaac hung up afterward."Fuck, we'd just arrived, and now this happened. We should've just listened to Isaac," Eugene said angrily as he slapped the table in frustration.In a mansion close to Westlake, Beefy Bob was all tied up like a hog as three elders transported him into the living hall. There was still blood trickling from his lips.Elio was sitting on the couch with his legs propped up. He laughed at Beefy Bob and pointed upstairs, saying, "Your boss' little wifey is in my room right now. I'm not going to kill you. I'm just putting you in the room next to mine. There's a one-way mirror in t
When she saw the soldiers pouring into the room, Allegra felt a weight lifted from her shoulders. Tears of regret fell from her eyes. She was sorry that she hadn't listened to Isaac.The man in uniform then turned around to speak to the fuming Elio. "Elio Reinhart, I'm Chase Warner, from the Sunton Defense Department. We're here on orders to protect Ms. Booth and take her to safety. It's not too late if you surrender now.""From the Defense Department? Haha! I thought you'd at least be from somewhere more powerful. Do you know who my uncle is? He's Keith Reinhart, a four-star general. If you don't want to die, then get the fuck out of this place and leave me the hell alone!"Chase raised an eyebrow before turning to tell his men. "Take Ms. Booth out to safety."Two men immediately stepped forward to assist Allegra. Elio stopped them and screamed, "I'll see who the fuck dares to get in my way! Mr. Jared, are you still watching next door?"Francis and another elder came out of the room.
Whoosh!Isaac rushed at Elio like a bolt of lightning. A suppressive aura immediately filled the air.Francis only started feeling the pressure against his chest when Isaac rushed past him.Elio felt the gun being kicked out of his hand.Crack!Crack!Crack!Crack!Isaac's fingers curled into a fist as he aimed it straight at all of Elio's four limbs. Four gut-wrenching cracks were heard, and Elio ended up with two broken arms and two broken legs."Ahh!" Elio's eyes turned bloodshot red as he screamed and fell to the floor in pain."W—who the fuck are you?" Francis asked as he looked at Isaac with cold eyes, feeling his heart jump right into his mouth.Just then, Beefy Bob and two Dusk Soldiers walked into the room."Take Ally out of here," Isaac ordered curtly.The two Dusk Soldiers hurried over and led the terrified Allegra out of the room. She still had her eyes closed throughout and was shivering.Not a single person dared to stop them anymore."You son of a bitch, how dare you bre
Seascape wasn't very far from Sunton. Isaac had already given Elliot and Lupinus a call before leaving Cloud City.Francis and the three elders were waiting anxiously outside the emergency unit of Sunray Hospital. They heard footsteps behind them and quickly turned around to see a burly middle-aged man hurrying over with four bodyguards in tow."Mr. Jared, where is my son? What happened to him?" Harvey Reinhart asked in a low voice."Sir, he's still in there. I'm afraid his injuries are quite severe," Francis answered with a frown.Francis was extremely anxious. After all, Elio had gotten hurt on his watch, and he knew that his life was now on the line.A while later, the doors to the emergency room opened. Two sweaty doctors walked out of the room. They were both taken aback when they saw Harvey waiting outside. The color drained from their faces."M—Mr. Harvey, uhh, y—your son—""Spit it out! What is it?" Harvey said with a roar.Both doctors shuddered. One of them mustered the coura
Previously, when they'd sensed Isaac's aura, they'd already realized that they were no match for him. They were now even more terrified when they discovered that both Elliot and Lupinus also possessed such powerful energy.In less than five minutes, all 30 bodyguards were slain, and their bodies littered the entire floor.Harvey's face turned blacker than thunder. He roared at Francis, "Francis, what the fuck are you still waiting for? Am I supposed to defend myself or what?"Francis wanted to roll his eyes so badly. He was the most powerful out of the four of them, but he'd only reached the end of the Amalgamation Phase. The three elders behind him were only in the mid-Amalgamation Phase. However, Isaac, or even either of his two men, was easily in the Renascence Phase and above.How was he supposed to fight against them?Just as Francis forced himself to get up to fight, a luxurious car with military plates sped into the compound, followed by two other armored vans. 70 or 80 soldiers
