The leather belt was sturdy and long. Isaac whipped Charles without hesitating.The onlooking parents inhaled sharply, but most of them beamed with delight.“According to you, this is not abuse, but this is just me disciplining you, am I right? Have a taste of your own medicine!”Isaac whipped Charles for a second time, and Charles’ uniform ripped open. A red mark appeared on Charles’ exposed skin.“Argh! I—It’s painful, you bastard! I swear—”Isaac whipped Charles again.“Remember this feeling. The pain is how it feels when you whip children as young as six or seven years old. I’m sorry if I hurt you, as I can’t control my strength,” said Isaac as another whip landed on Charles’ body.Charles howled in pain with every whip.Mia’s face was as white as chalk. Her hands trembled as she called her superior. She was scared Charles would lose his life if this incident went unreported.Carmine Elementary School had never seen someone this violent for decades!At the sixth whip, Cha
“Nonsense! You scoundrel, who dares to accuse me of abusing their children?” yelled Charles. He was leaning on someone else’s shoulder for support.The onlooking parents muttered among themselves, but eventually, no one spoke up.Isaac snorted and said to the parents, “Listen up. We are all parents to our children. Your family backgrounds are decent enough to send your children to this school. Have you ever thought about the trauma your children will have after getting beaten up for no apparent reason at a very young age? They will grow up with the trauma of being powerless to retaliate whenever they get bullied. Because of your cowardice, they will suffer from psychological trauma and perhaps grow up dysfunctional. Who else is the culprit but you? Think hard about it.”Isaac made his point clear. The parents lowered their heads. Some of them sighed, while some of them wept.Suddenly, one of them looked up at Charles with reddened eyes and said, furious, “I have a complaint to make
“You’d better beg for my forgiveness right now, or I can get a team of honor guards to my aid anytime,” chipped in Charles as soon as Micah finished speaking.Isaac chuckled. “Good for you. There, go ahead and try.”Charles took out his phone and made the call.Micah stood and scolded, “Mr. Garten, you can still change your mind now. The school can apologize to Isabella, but there is no way we will fire Charles. Absolutely impossible!”“I want him gone by today,” said Isaac indignantly. He sat on a chair beside him.Outside the office, Allegra was very nervous. Isabella asked, “Mom, will they bully Mister?”“He’s more than capable of fending for himself. He will be fine.” Allegra faked a smile, even though she was panicking too.At this moment, there was a marching sound. A team of men in combat uniforms appeared in the stairway. They were intimidating as they marched toward the office.There were a few dozen of them. Half of them marched directly into the office, while the oth
“Charlie, there’s nothing for us to discuss. Go home and get your family to find you another job.” Micah waved his hand. He picked up the phone on his table. “Inform the administration office to draft a penalty notice of the dismissal of Mr. Charles Owens…”A wave of despair swept over Charles. Grandpa Micah fired him because of a jerk.“Grandpa Micah, since you’re so heartless, don’t blame me for taking revenge! I’ll show you the influence of the Owens family!” Charles flung the door open and stomped out.After hanging up, Micah slumped into his chair, as if his energy drained dry. He looked at the doorway in a daze and muttered, “The peace in Southland won’t last long!”He could only hope for Charles to stay away from that man. There were only three eagle-shaped Commander’s Seals in the whole world. It gave its wielder the power to command an army of millions anywhere on the nine continents.He would never have expected to meet the legendary Drakon in a small place like this!I
Allegra and Roger were both surprised. Why did Watson have to ask Isaac’s opinions on matters like this?“It’s your personal matter. You should decide for yourself.” Isaac sensed their doubts. He frowned slightly.Watson thought it was a tricky matter. He could promptly decline the request if Allen came alone. However, Allen was coming together with his brother-in-law, Wyatt Owens.Although the Owens family had not been standing out much in Southland, the aristocrats knew better than to mess with them.“Al—Alright, I’ll ask them over.” Watson nodded and picked up his phone again.“Father, what has gotten into you lately? You beat me up the other day because of these two, and today, you’re being so meek before that guy. Who is he, for God’s sake?” Roger mumbled, dissatisfied.He walked closer, pointed at Isaac, and said at the top of his voice, “This fellow just said that Miss Booth is my sister and that she is inheriting millions of dollars from the Kane family. They are boasting
“Old Kane, you and I have known each other for years. I’m here today for a reason. My wife is Mr. Merck’s younger sister. I’m sure you’re aware of this?”Watson frowned the moment Wyatt started speaking.Watson said nothing. Allen fell to his knees with a loud thump right next to Watson, weeping as he said, “Mr. Kane, I know it was you. Please, I beg you, show mercy to the Merck family. That day during Old Alec’s birthday celebration, I was only against Garten and Allegra, that shameless couple. The Merck family has never wronged you and the Kane family.”Allen looked up, tears streaming down his face as he grasped Watson’s arm. “Mr. Kane, let us off the hook, and the Merck family will be your loyal supporters. We saved some gold overseas. If only you would let us go, you’d have the Merck family’s heirloom.” Allen showed his last card. The Merck family was bending under enormous pressure from all parties.Watson still said nothing. Wyatt frowned. “Mr. Kane, Mr. Merck is my brother-
“How dare you hit me, you parasite!” Wyatt hollered, holding his cheek.Isaac gave him another slap. Wyatt could not dodge in time.His face swelled up immediately. The burning pain triggered him off.“Go to hell!” Wyatt swung his fist toward Isaac.However, Isaac’s kick reached him first. Wyatt’s eyes bulged as he flew backward and dropped to the floor with a loud thud. Watson sighed and shook his head while Allen and Simon got excited.Allen was not close to his sister, who married into the Owens family. They hardly ever saw each other. He had to beg his sister so hard to ask for Wyatt’s help.He did not expect that dumbass Isaac to start a fight. That was a delightful turn of events, turning Isaac and Wyatt against each other.That dumbass Isaac, did he think he could get away with it after wronging the Owens family?Wyatt scrambled up from the floor. He spat out a mouthful of blood and took several deep breaths.“Haha, awesome. Just awesome. You’ve got some good moves th
Things were about to get messy. It was safer to keep out of the center of the storm.“Mr. Garten, the Owens family has been in the military for generations. Perhaps you want to—” Watson tried to make peace. He had no idea what would happen if this went on. “Did I ask you for advice?” Isaac snorted as he looked at Watson.Watson’s heart throbbed furiously, and he shook his head immediately. “No, I wouldn’t dare.”Isaac walked toward Wyatt and Charles slowly. Charles raised his dagger as he backed up, shouting, “Stay where you are. Take one more step, and I’ll show you.”Isaac darted forward and slapped Charles. Charles swiveled from the force of the slap, and his dagger dropped to the floor with a thud.“Show me what, exactly?”He turned and slapped Wyatt too. “Remember this. There are no widows in the Booth family. There is only Allegra Booth. Get it?”Wyatt held his burning cheek, his eyes spitting fire, but he averted his gaze.It was the first time he felt such humiliation
After taking action, they realized that although they could harness certain natural laws, in terms of spirit strength, the opponent was unbeatable.They simply couldn't hurt the civilians at all.Isaac kept blinking behind his opponent trying to launch a sneak attack, only to find that the opponent's spirit shield was incredibly resilient.It was impossible to break open."It's strange, does the realm really protect ordinary civilians? We can't do anything to them at all." Isaac was surprised.They were both shocked and found it unbelievable."We can't do anything to them, and they can't do anything to us either," Mixandrei spoke in a cold tone.It was clear that she was in a bad mood and upset right now.They were offended by a group of ordinary people, yet unable to do anything about them."Please, the two of you should leave. We don't welcome outsiders here. If you are truly kind-hearted, go into the city, there are places there that will welcome you!" At that point, a youn
"Just standing here and watching isn't really helpful. Let's go over and talk to them," Isaac proposed.Mixandrei, although a bit concerned, did not refuse.They walked over.Upon seeing Isaac and Mixandrei, the villagers slightly paused and did not appear overly surprised.That left Isaac and Mixandrei surprised.Wouldn't ordinary villagers be wary when they suddenly see two strangers coming to their village?"Hello, everyone," Isaac greeted.Two fishermen continued chatting casually as they worked, laughing as if nothing unusual was happening."It looks like more outsiders from other realms have arrived. Our place has been bustling lately."......Upon hearing those words, Isaac and Mixandrei were both taken aback.There were many people from other realms?What did that mean?"Hello everyone. As you can see, this is our first time in this realm, and we're not very familiar with it. We would like to learn more from you," Isaac began speaking.He maintained a calm and com
Isaac introduced."I've never heard of such a realm before, and I'm eager to go in and see it!" Mixandrei widened her beautiful eyes in surprise and exclaimed excitedly.After speaking, she reached out and touched the boundaries of that realm.But, she was pushed back as her spirit was unable to get close."Only a portion of our spirit can enter the soul artifact, and even after being enhanced by it, we're not strong enough to go inside. We might need to put all our spirits into the soul artifact, but if we do that, our bodies in the real realm would be motionless, like corpses." Isaac speculated."So what? We can lie in the sarcophagus, and with the protection of the sarcophagus and the secret chamber, our true form will definitely be safe. Then our spirit enters the artifact," Mixandrei proposed."Great idea, let's do it this way!" Isaac nodded in agreement.At that moment, he felt that the coffin yard was remarkable because its defensive power was off the charts.Dreamlerq's
"If you really feel so uneasy, how about I keep you company tonight?" Isaac smiled."Ah? You naughty!" Mixandrei's face turned red as she playfully scolded.Isaac then spent a few relaxing months more with his family.During that period, even someone like Mixandrei, who used to be completely immersed in cultivation, experienced a change in mindset.She realized that those were the truly carefree days.What was the purpose of the effort put into cultivation?Wasn't it all for the freedom they craved?Another six months passed.Skylar's body had finally fully recovered to her peak.Allegra, Evie, and the children were sent back to the lower realm by Isaac.Isaac and Mixandrei could finally begin their journey to explore that mysterious realm."Isaac, I want to... have a child with you." That night, Skylar lay in Isaac's embrace and spoke softly with a hint of shyness."Huh? Why do you think of that?" Isaac asked with interest."Because... I want to keep up with you, at least
"When you were unconscious, I managed to conquer the other two kingdoms. Currently, the Boltzyn Dynasty is still under the rule of several generals from our kingdom. I haven't yet decided who will serve as the emperor there. Elon's eldest son, Ergon, is in charge of the Seraphym Dynasty with Connor and Zaid assisting as Regents. "Once Ergon is ready to take full control, the authority of the Regents will be withdrawn." Isaac pushed Skylar along while explaining and giving an overview of the events that had taken place in the Upper Martial Realm over the past few years.Skylar was quite shocked after hearing that Isaac took down the Seraphym Dynasty and Boltzyn Dynasty.Wasn't it said that it was a turbulent time with powerful figures emerging everywhere, making it unwise to do something so flashy?She had many overwhelming feelings and a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but because of her physical condition, she couldn’t speak up.That made her feel a bit puzzled.Spending ti
"She's recovering, although it might take a while for her to wake up. The important thing is that she survived. I was the one who killed her, and I've always felt guilty about it. Now that she can live again, that's the best outcome." Drea looked at Isaac holding Skylar in his arms. His dry, wrinkled face showed a hint of joy, and he spoke."Haha, it's actually not your fault because, at that time, your body was controlled by an evil corpse spirit. You were essentially another being." Isaac, who was in high spirits, laughed heartily.In a sense, Drea could be considered a corpse spirit too, but he was aligned with him and obeyed his commands, essentially a "righteous" or "good" corpse spirit.It was no longer the purely malevolent corpse spirit it once was.While they both inhabited the same body, their souls were fundamentally different."I'm really curious about that mysterious realm Dreamlerq mentioned. What exactly is it?" Mixandrei asked curiously.That was a secret known
How strong was Dreamlerq?No wonder that Freddie and Esther called him the top prodigy ever since!"Skylar!" Isaac lifted Skylar from the coffin yard and channeled divine energy into her body.Divine energy had miraculous power and of course, the key was that Skylar’s soul was intact and the physical damage to the body wasn’t too severe.The effects of divine energy began to show.Isaac felt a slight movement of Skylar's heart.Then, with thumping sounds, it began to pulsate."It works! It really works!" Isaac was overjoyed.He finally managed to revive Skylar. He truly didn't know what he could do next if it didn't work."She needs a long time to recover, so let her stay here and continue absorbing divine energy. It looks like this Immortal Realm portal will take a few minutes to close," Mixandrei said.Although Skylar had her heart beating, it took some time for a full recovery.Isaac waited patiently.Additionally, he took out the Soul Purifying Flask and coffin, intendi
As someone at the advanced stage of the Divine Sovereign Phase, she could only control a small portion of the principle.However, this powerful being seemed capable of commanding all of it!"Is this…an immortal?" She murmured to herself in awe. The surrounding space shifted, and without anyone realizing it, they had arrived at the immortal tomb. This place was normally inaccessible unless actively opened. However, it had been breached effortlessly under Dreamlerq's influence.The sheer capability was astonishing. "It's such a pity…Sir Freddie passed away too soon. If he were still alive now, just a breath of divine energy or entering the immortal realm would have granted him eternal life…"Isaac's thought left him feeling a sense of regret."Freddie's lifespan had already reached its limits. Even if he inhaled divine energy, he couldn't have been able to live much longer.""As for helping him enter the immortal realm, that's beyond my ability. It would have involved treme
"You're clearly far away in the Immortal realm," Isaac expressed his amazement through his consciousness. "To my knowledge, you're in great need of divine energy right now. With the soul artifact, you'll be able to obtain it," Dreamlerq responded. A spark of joy lit up in Isaac's heart. The soul artifact could help him to acquire divine energy. But how? As the artifact's owner, Isaac had a general understanding of its functions. However, there wasn't an option to open the Immoral Realm. He wasn't at the peak of the Sacrificial Phase, so how could he pierce the Immoral Realm's barrier and create a small opening?"I know what you're wondering. Now that you have my soul artifact, you can easily communicate with me. From my end in the Immortal Realm, I can create a small opening for you to draw in divine energy. Just remember to use the soul artifact to contain the energy, it can hold as much as you're able to capture." Dreamlerq seemed to have guessed Issac's confusion and explai
