The two families had put in a lot of time to prepare for today's engagement ceremony. It had taken them a long time to get to this point, so they didn't want to call things off like that.Seeing both families begging as well as Aiden kneeling before him, Isaac nodded and said, "I'll do my best, but whether it works out or not, you can't blame me.""Thank you so much, Mr. Garten," Terence said.Terence had no idea what Isaac and Connor discussed. Even at his rank, he was still far from Connor's position, much less Isaac's.Since Isaac was willing to help, then he just counted his blessings.They went to Diana's room. Everyone else stood outside the door; only Isaac went in alone.Diana had already changed into her favorite athletic wear, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. When she heard footsteps, she said coldly, "I already said you don't have to give me advice. Even if I had to remain single for the rest of my life, I still wouldn't marry him.""With your pretty
"Old Taylor, you don't need to say anything more. It seems like I shouldn't have come in the first place. Next time, don't ask me to come to such things anymore." With a smile, Isaac turned around and left.When he got home, Allegra wasn't back yet. Meanwhile, Eugene and Margaret were cuddled up on the couch watching television. When Margaret saw Isaac, she lowered her head and put some distance between them.It looked like their relationship was getting sweeter and sweeter.After Isaac shared a few lines of conversation with Eugene, Margaret pulled the latter into the bedroom.Not long after, Allegra came home looking exhausted. Seeing Isaac sitting on the sofa, she dashed over and jumped straight into Isaac's arms. While wrapping her arms around his neck, she asked, "How was it? I bet Diana's engagement ceremony was a blast. You should've sent me some photos.""Er…well, you could say that." Isaac didn't know how to describe what happened today."Really? Then I definitely must g
After receiving Isaac's instructions, Mitchell didn't hesitate for even a moment. He went straight to his room on the fifth floor, changed into athletic wear, and cleaned up a little. After exiting the room, he went straight to the elevator.Just as Mitchell left the headquarters, one of the guards standing by the entrance slowly raised his head and watched his retreating back.He took out a satellite phone from his pocket and quickly sent out a text.From here to the northwest region was about a hundred-mile drive. The northwest was different from the northern region in the sense that most of its land was mountains. Nonetheless, the weather was just as bad. Mitchell decided to take an international flight out of Tarzistan to Southland.This way was more convenient since Tarzistan was less than 60 miles from the northwest headquarters. The other seven armies were the same; besides the Temple of Drakon, which was based on an island abroad, the other seven armies were located on the
Hal replied in a helpless tone, "The past few days, we detected a few people with suspicious identities. Thus, we increased our investigative forces. I am in charge of this."People of suspicious identities? Mitchell smiled. "Your efforts are highly appreciated. I'm in a hurry, so please be quick."After he passed through the security check at customs with his credentials, he drove straight to the little town in front. Even though he was hungry, he didn't intend to stop.Tarzistan was a small country outside the northwestern region. They had close ties with Cynea, so Mitchell had the easiest time in the northwestern army. There hadn't been any conflict here in over ten years.Mitchell even had a great relationship with the general-in-chief of the Tarzistan border guards.He slowly inched his Jeep into the gas station by the side of the road. After getting down from the car, he gave the staff a few Cynean Dollar bills. The staff paused before his lips split into a smile.The Cynea
"Palm of the Universe!" Mitchell roared, launching two shadow fists. All the spiritual energy in his power core was concentrated in his two hands.Black spiritual energy flowed from his shoulders to his palms, which were like whirlpools, sucking in every bit of energy.At that moment, the other four elders—all burning with spiritual energy—had already reached him. Mitchell set his sights on the elder in a green cloak that had tried to flatter Ralph earlier. Once all his spiritual energy was in his palms, he thrust his fists at him.Two swirling blasts of black spiritual energy burst forth from Mitchell's palms, instantly forming a dense, inky black shadow fist that whirled toward the elder's chest.With this move, Mitchell had revealed his one-of-a-kind trump card—Palm of the Universe. When the elder saw the two spinning black shadow fists coming straight for him, he let out a furious roar. Swinging his sword, he cast two shadow swords to counter it.However, in the next second,
As soon as he said that, the man took out a satellite phone and quickly called the general-in-chief of the border guards, Jemeni. He knew that General Jemeni and Lord Mitchell were on good terms, and he also had close ties with that man from the Temple of Drakon.When Isaac received Jemeni's satellite phone call, it was 9 pm, as there was an hour's time difference.It was pouring in Cloud City. Isaac gave Allegra a quick heads-up before leaving home. As he got into his car, he called Harry; Beefy Bob was to stay in Cloud City. Amid the storm, his private jet took off from the tarmac. Nevertheless, Isaac's emotions were just like the weather—stormy clouds rolling, thunder clapping.Jemeni said that Mitchell was still in treatment. The medical facilities available there were quite limited. The first thing he did was notify Isaac, and after that, he began to give it his all to save Mitchell.However, what irritated Isaac the most was that Jemeni didn't get the attacker's identity. He
At dawn two days later, Mitchell, whose entire body was submerged in a herbal bath, awoke. A while later, Harry brought Isaac in.Only Mitchell's head was above the water. When he saw Isaac enter, his expression changed dramatically. He gripped both edges of the tub, trying to stand."Don't move. You're severely injured." Isaac immediately waved a hand to stop him.When Mitchell woke up and saw himself in a herbal bath, he knew that Apothecary had come, but he didn't know Drakon was here either."Mitchell, Black Phoenix managed to identify one of the culprits, Flynn Snyder. Who were the others?" Isaac asked quietly, taking a seat on the chair beside the tub.Mitchell's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said, "People from Astraeus, and the new Supreme Leader, Ralph.""Those bastards knew they couldn't beat you, so they pulled a sneak attack. Shameless fucks," Harry said icily, clenching his fists.However, Isaac smiled lightly. "Logically, that makes sense. Mitchell, I'm only
Willis and Janessa soon arrived. The few of them had dinner in a private room on the first floor of the cafeteria. Afterward, Isaac stopped Black Phoenix from leaving. "Black Phoenix, come to Drakonia at 9 pm later to sit in on our meeting."At the Temple of Drakon, the Meeting of Generals was of the highest standard. Even though Black Phoenix and Beefy Bob were Isaac's men, they couldn't join whenever they wanted.At 8.50 pm, Isaac walked into Drakonia. The room wasn't huge; in the middle were a square table and nine chairs.It was the closest meeting room to his office.After the seven generals were all present, Isaac sat at the head of the table while Black Phoenix sat next to him. It was also her first time joining such a meeting; she was a little nervous in the face of these generals.Ten feet away from the head seat, a large, pure dragon head, three feet in diameter, was mounted on the wall. Its mouth was wide open as if it wanted to swallow the world whole."Hey, how come
