That night, Jeremiah and Phineas stayed the night in Cloud City. After leaving Cloud Nine Villa, they immediately contacted their most trusted subordinates and told them to come to Cloud City at once.They had to make sure they knew just how many ancient martial arts practitioners and sects there were in all nine continents. There were plenty of rules and regulations to draw up too, and this elephantine task was much more than the two of them could handle alone.After Holly left, Isaac went to the pavilion in his backyard and sat down with his legs crossed. He closed his eyes and slipped into a state of meditation, concentrating on the spiritual energy inside his body.Around 11 pm that night, Margaret and Eugene returned from their dinner.Isaac had just taken a bath when he saw that Allegra wasn't there. He looked at Eugene, who was obviously drunk, and asked, "Where's Ally? She didn't come back with you?""Oh, Ally said that she was aching all over, so she wanted to go to some beaut
"My job scope only includes doing the laundry, cooking, and keeping the house in an orderly manner. I'm not supposed to do anything else," Holly said in a very soft voice. She was actually still very afraid of Margaret.Margaret gritted her teeth in anger and yelled, "I'm his fucking mother-in-law, and I'm telling you this instant to give me a fucking foot massage! Is that too much to ask for from a fucking lowly person like you? It's not like you're going to die if you do it. Stupid bitch, if I tell you to kiss my feet, you'd better fucking get on your knees and worship them, or else you can get the fuck out of the house!"When she felt the anger coming from Margaret, Holly felt even more terrified. She'd accidentally offended Allegra last time, and she didn't want to offend her mother this time. So she gritted her teeth and got down on her knees."If you want to stay in this house, you'd better be an obedient little bitch, understand? I'm Isaac's mother-in-law. You need to remember t
Emily knew that there was no use fighting Andrew in such a small area, especially with that snarl on his face. She would be on the losing end anyway, so she bit her lips and held back the tears in her eyes as she said, "O—okay, I'll do whatever you want.""That's more like it." Seeing the look of defeat on Emily's face made Andrew puff up and feel victorious. He reached out to pinch Emily's cheek before sitting up straight."After we're done at the site, you're coming with me to have dinner with one of our potential business partners," Andrew suddenly said, looking at Emily.Emily could only nod in agreement.After reaching the site, the managers at the site heard that the new vice president would be coming in to monitor them today and that this vice president was also Ms. Booth's own younger brother. They all fell over their feet trying to curry favor with their new boss.Andrew kept his hands behind his back, laughing and making conversation everywhere he went, showing all the making
"Mr. Booth, kindly watch where you're touching," Emily said. She couldn't stand it any longer and pushed Andrew aside before bolting."The fuck! Get that fucking bitch back here!" Andrew roared loudly.The two men stopped Emily just as she reached the corridor outside."M—Ms. Danson, can you please just do as Mr. Booth says? Don't make things difficult for us," one of the men said to her with a pleading face."Is this a mutiny? Let me go!" Emily had no idea that these two men would be so scared of Andrew. She tried forcing her way out, but the two men refused to let up.Seeing the determined look on their faces, Emily inhaled deeply and turned around just in time to catch the wretched smile on Andrew's face as he came closer."Let me text my mom first. I need to let her know I'll be back late," Emily said, immediately taking out her phone to look up Isaac's number."Emily, baby, come here and help me up! Otherwise, I'm never going to let you go! Haha!" Andrew kept beckoning at Emily as
Seeing that Andrew was hanging his head low and staying silent, Isaac walked over toward him with his eyes still dangerously narrowed."N—no, don't hit me! B—bro, I was drunk; I didn't mean to do anything! I'm sorry!" Fear was written all over Andrew's face as he took a few steps backward until his back was pressed against the wall behind him.Isaac laughed coldly, "You were drunk? But you look quite sober right now."Slap!As soon as he said that, Isaac lifted his hand and slapped Andrew hard on the cheek.Andrew held his smarting cheek and stared at Isaac with bulging eyes. The pain on his face immediately woke him up."I'm not your "bro". And I don't give a shit about the vice president position at the company. Since your sister gave you that position, you'd better fucking do your job instead of harassing Emily like this. If I catch you again, I'm throwing you back out onto the streets!"Slap!Then Isaac slapped Andrew on the cheek again, harder this time.The second slap sent Andre
Isaac asked, "Ally, did you really think Emily would seduce a man like Andrew?"Isaac's face was black as thunder. He'd never expected Andrew to shamelessly make such accusations.Andrew was antsy. He knew that if Allegra didn't side with him, then he would be done for. Luckily, his mother was also around.Unexpectedly, Allegra spared a glance at Emily's torn clothes and scoffed, saying, "Why not? Andrew's the company's vice president now. Women do all sorts of things when they've had a bit of alcohol in their system. Nothing's impossible."What the actual fuck?Emily felt the world crash down on her. Was this what Ms. Booth thought of her? How was this possible?"I didn't do it! Ms. Booth, I was forced into the room by your brother! T—they were here; they can bear witness to it!" Emily cried, pointing at the two men still standing outside the door.Allegra turned to look at the men, who looked back at her hesitatingly."Tell me, what the fuck happened?" Allegra asked, staring back at
Allegra and Margaret were shocked when they saw Isaac pulling Emily out of the room."Oh my, oh no, what are we to do? What should we do?" Margaret asked, suddenly bursting into tears as she fell to the ground on her butt."Isaac you fucking bastard! Emily, you fucking cunt! I'm going to get you both!"Emily couldn't help but shiver in fear as she heard Allegra's screams in the background.She wanted to tell Isaac to head back but held back from saying anything when she saw the angry look on his face.They went downstairs and got into the car. Isaac didn't start the engine right away. Instead, he lit up a cigarette and took a few long drags. He looked extremely displeased."I—Isaac, do you want to go back up there? I can call a cab—""Are you sure you want to call a cab in your condition?" Isaac asked, turning to look at Emily. He caught sight of her bra through her torn blouse and hurriedly turned back to face the front.Emily blushed deeply and covered herself by shifting to face the
Snap!The room was suddenly flooded with light. Denvor shielded his eyes as he glanced at the door."Harry Stewart, what the fuck are you doing? Why did you turn on the lights? The atmosphere's all ruined now!" Denvor remarked in his shrill, high-pitched voice.Harry waved at the scantily-clad girl, and she hurriedly scuttled out of the room."Ahem, Master Loch, let me introduce you to someone. This is Isaac Garten, the head of the Temple of Drakon. Isaac, this is the great master Denvor Loch; he belongs to the 97th generation of descendants of the Schoenus Sect," Harry said, getting between the two others as he introduced them to one another.Denver sized Isaac up, his eyes narrowing into slits."Master Loch, my wife has been poisoned by a venomous curse. It would be my honor to have you take a closer look at her," Isaac said in a low voice.Allegra was behaving more and more unruly, and it was getting out of hand. Isaac was anxious about her."Mr. Garten, do you not know how long I'v
