The three of them had devised this plan earlier. If the perpetrator ran away, Harry would be in charge of stopping them from leaving the premises.Mayflower managed to dodge the red fist again. When she saw the two burning talismans coming at her, she simply scoffed and summoned her black smokescreen once more, which completely obliterated the talismans. Only the ashes were left on the ground.At this point, Isaac, Harry, and Denvor had surrounded Mayflower."Wow, even the Schoenus Sect is here. You all really want me dead," Mayflower cackled, taking in Denvor's tattered clothes for the first time."Evil demon, go and reverse the spell you cast on the woman upstairs now, and I'll make your death a quick one," Denvor said, curling and uncurling his fingers at her.Isaac said nothing. Instead, he ran straight at her."The three of you aren't enough to stop me! Keep daydreaming, fuckers!" Seeing Isaac lunging at her, she cackled again before challenging him with a deep stare. However, her
This was Isaac's most powerful move ever. He was only using it for the first time today, after reaching the middle stage of the Divinity Phase. He had no choice but to summon it to kill the wicked woman before him.Mayflower had already run 200 feet ahead when she felt the eruption of spiritual energy from behind her. Before she knew it, she sensed the spiritual energy overtaking her. She hurriedly turned around. When she saw the long, blood-red blade behind her, she shuddered in fright.How could he be so powerful?Mayflower saw her life flash before her eyes. She suddenly released a thick cloud of black smoke as she raised her arms to catch the blade before it could slice her apart.She let out a blood-curdling scream as she braced herself. There was no way she'd die a sitting duck!Crash!The long blade hit the black smoke with a thunderous force. Despite her pained expression, Mayflower pushed herself to the limit to keep the blade away. Only she could tell just how powerful and fr
Rain continued to pour. After over an hour, the darkness had mostly disappeared from Harry's face, and he'd also regained consciousness.Denvor was sitting cross-legged on the floor with his eyes closed, mumbling to himself."Sir, did that woman get away?" Harry asked Isaac weakly.At that moment, Denvor opened his eyes and smiled wryly. "The Deviant Cult's escape spell is hard to catch up with. My hypothesis was wrong—I didn't expect that woman to be Eminente from the Deviant Cult!""Eminente from the Deviant Cult? She looked so young!" Harry looked at him in surprise.Isaac was rather surprised too."I can't be wrong. Before she injured us, she used the possession spell to catch Mr. Garten and send him into a trance. Only Eminente from the Deviant Cult can do that. Even though she looks to be in her 30s, in reality, she's no less than 80 years old. She's been using deviant spells to maintain her looks. That's unfortunate for me, an orthodox practitioner." Denvor looked upset.
Denvor's gaze grew misty. Frowning, he said, "To be honest, my master went to the Everest Sect a few years ago. However, after he left, he never returned. He said that the Everest Sect is located at the peak of Evereston, and it's a portal to another world. The Everest Sect is the protector of this world, and it's the sacred land for all martial artists. You can only reach the Everest Sect if someone from inside leads you there. Otherwise, you can't find the entrance." With that, he sighed.From the side, Harry snickered and said, "This is beginning to sound fishy. A portal to another world—does that refer to heaven or hell?""You don't know anything! I heard that only people in the Divinity Phase and above can enter. Not to mention, the Everest Sect must personally select you. That's why it's called a sacred land! It's not easy for just anyone to get in there." Denvor glared at Harry."This wasn't helpful at all." Isaac looked exasperated. He turned around and sat on the couch.So
Upstairs, Allegra, who hadn't had any food or water in two days, looked pallid. Yet her eyes were blazing with anger and hatred."Isaac, what are you two bastards trying to do?""Ally, you're sick. You need to take some medicine, so bear with it a little, okay?" Isaac said, approaching the bed.Allegra began to struggle violently, but she couldn't fight against Isaac's strength and was pressed to the bed.Denvor waved the talisman in front of Allegra's face a few times, mumbling under his breath. When the talisman between his fingers began to burn, Isaac saw a gust of air rush into Allegra's forehead."Hurry, make her drink the medicine." Denvor's eyes were bulging, and his forehead was beaded with sweat. He immediately brought the bowl over.After being forced to down the medicine in the bowl, Allegra quieted down. Her body would shiver from time to time.Denvor wiped the sweat off his forehead and softly said, "It's done. Let her rest. When she wakes up later, she'll be fine.
In the morning, Allegra went to work. Isaac wanted her to rest properly at home, but she reasoned that she'd been out of it for the past two days and didn't know how the company was doing. Thus, she insisted on going to take a look.On the other hand, Isaac went to the hospital to visit Harry and Denvor. He then realized that these "buddies" even shared a room when they took their herbal baths…Meanwhile, when Allegra arrived at the office, she realized the atmosphere was rather strange.As soon as she sat down, her assistant cautiously walked over, carrying a document in her hand."Ms. Booth, this is an expense account. P—please sign off on it."Allegra paused. She smiled at her assistant and said, "Shouldn't the expense account go straight to finance? Why do you need me to sign off?"When the assistant saw Allegra's smile, she felt more at ease. "These are the expenses for Mr. Booth's hospitalization and daily care. The amount is rather large, so finance asked you to take a loo
Allegra paused for a moment before continuing, "I'm planning to give my presidential seat to Isaac. In addition, there's a personal matter related to you that I wanted to talk to you about. You're also one of the board members; if you don't come, your vote won't count."Garth Properties was now a large corporation worth hundreds of billions. There were more than ten important board members; although they were not yet publicly listed, changing the president wasn't something that Allegra could decide by herself.If she had Emily's help, then it'd be much easier."Make Isaac the president? Ms. Booth, I hope I didn't mishear you." Emily was in disbelief.Allegra stifled a laugh. "Isaac was the one who helped me build this company. If he becomes the president, then he'd be the rightful one. Over the past few days, I've been…confused. Come over, and we'll talk face-to-face, okay?""Oh, okay. I'm coming over right now."Ever since Emily had sacrificed herself to be captured by the Devia
Because of the close relationship between Allegra, Margaret, and Andrew, the people in the meeting room merely watched, not daring to utter a single word.Emily glared at Andrew with hate in her eyes as her teeth dug into her lip. At the same time, she was very worried about how Allegra would react. After all, what happened last time had been very surprising. However, Allegra simply waved her hand and said, "You're no longer the executive vice president, so this has nothing to do with you. Mom, my head wasn't screwed on right two days ago. While I'm still myself, I want to do something right. It's already good enough that Andrew has a job right now."Upon hearing that, both mother's and son's expressions fell.Margaret opened her mouth to retort, but Allegra continued, "If you won't leave and insist on disturbing my meeting, I may consider taking back the house Andrew and his wife live in. If it comes down to that, then they'll have to return to the streets."Those words stunned
