The moment the elevator rang, Harry was already on full alert. He and Beefy Bob looked toward the elevator door one after another and exclaimed simultaneously, "Eminente?"Without any hesitation, Beefy Bob let out a burst of spiritual energy and swung his fist at Mayflower."Take Allegra and leave! I'll hold her down," Beefy Bob roared, charging toward Mayflower.Harry opened the door and frantically dashed toward the bedroom.Allegra's arms and legs were tied up. She woke up with a start when Harry came in."Miracle Healer Stewart, wh—what are you doing?" Allegra was sane now."She's here. Eminente is here. Hang on, Allegra. I'll bring you out of here." Harry didn't even have time to untie her. He grabbed her and heaved her onto his shoulder. Then, he turned to flee.He had just left the bedroom when he saw Mayflower entering the office. Black energy enshrouded her, and her long, dark hair twisted and turned in the air. Mayflower's face was as pale as a sheet, and her expressio
"These beasts are truly despicable. They sacrificed human lives to enhance their abilities."Isaac nodded and looked at the ocean. "That's what I thought. How are the soldiers affected by the venomous curse doing?"Lightning immediately replied, "Master Loch works wonders, peculiar though he is. The soldiers have all recovered."Although most people from the Temple of Drakon were martial artists, they were unlike conventional martial artists. They trusted science and technology, such as Black Phoenix's intelligence and the ships they were currently using.Denvor's supernatural abilities were bizarre in the eyes of Lightning.A black figure appeared on the ocean's surface and approached them at high speed.A sentry stood on the watchtower with a custom telescope. He shouted in Isaac's direction, "She's here!"Upon hearing that, joy appeared on the detained cultists' faces. Huddled together, they turned to the north.Soon, Mayflower staggered toward them, disheveled.The crowd m
Beefy Bob replied that besides him having a headache, everything else was as usual. Allegra was still resting in her office.Isaac was finally relieved after hearing this.The ships and speedboats left the island. When they were hundreds of feet from the shore, explosions came from behind.Boom!Flames licked the sky; who knew how many explosives Lightning instructed his men to use? The fire devoured all the cultists on the island.Isaac was on his way back. Harry was outside the president's office at Garth Properties, rubbing his aching neck as he told Beefy Bob, "Keep a lookout. I'll get breakfast."He didn't know how, but he and Beefy Bob were on the floor when they woke up.They remembered nothing. Worried that Allegra might be in danger, he immediately popped into the office and only went out after seeing Allegra curled up on the sofa, sleeping.Allegra had been awake for a long time. She was pretending to be asleep when Harry came in.She sensed a surge of energy within
"Are you awake, Mr. Garten? Do a quick wash-up and get ready for dinner. Mrs. Garten is coming back soon." Holly changed how she addressed them."Is Ally coming home?" asked Isaac.Holly smiled. "That's right. She called me this afternoon and specifically said she was joining you for dinner. Oh, Mr. Booth said he has a business dinner tonight and won't be coming back."She was referring to Eugene. Eugene's business was flourishing day by day.Allegra arrived home in a cream suit. She changed her shoes and quickly walked in, smiling when she saw Isaac sipping his coffee on the couch."Isaac, I heard you were outstation last night. Is everything okay?" Allegra sat on the sofa and leaned on Isaac's shoulder, gazing at him with a concerned look.Allegra's face had recovered its radiance, and her eyes were sparkling. Isaac smiled and pecked her cheek, saying, "What could happen? I'm fine and dandy, aren't I?""Ms. Lambert is here. Don't be cheeky." Allegra sprung up as though the cou
Bang! Bang! Bang!Margaret was enraged. She slammed her fist against the bedroom door.Silence ensued."Wh—Who is it?" Daisy's voice came from the other side of the door."I'm your mother-in-law. Open the door now!" Margaret roared.The door clicked open. Daisy was in a nightgown, her cheeks flushed as she nervously looked at Margaret. She was relieved to see Margaret was alone. Then, she rolled her eyes and reentered the room.A naked man was lying on the bed, smoking a cigarette and grinning at Margaret. He wasn't showing the slightest hint of panic."Marvelous! What a couple of shameless assholes! How dare you do this sort of thing in your house! Daisy, where's your virtue?" Margaret reprimanded, pointing at both of them.The man, Bert Latham, burst out laughing. "'Shameless assholes!' Babe, is that true?"Daisy frowned and sneered at Margaret, "Don't be nasty. What virtue? I learned all these from you!""From me? Are you listening to yourself, Daisy?" Margaret hadn't full
"Damn it! That bitch should just go to hell!" Andrew grabbed his crutches and got off the bed.He never thought his wife would cheat on him, and his mother caught her in action too.Andrew had the desire to kill."Andy, Andy, don't act rashly. Hold yourself together even if divorce is inevitable. Andy—""Get away from me. I swear to god—I'll kill that bitch and her fucking lover today!" Andrew growled as he shoved Margaret aside. He left the ward at top speed.Margaret was worried something terrible might happen, so she went after him.Another taxi stopped before the residential area. Andrew stomped out of the car in his hospital gown and went toward his house, completely ignoring Margaret's advice.He even bought a fruit knife at the convenience store before charging into the elevator.After unlocking the door, they entered to see Daisy and Bert cuddling each other on the couch. Five thugs with dyed hair and cigarettes dangling from their mouths stood behind them.They seemed
Isaac and Allegra were snugly asleep in each other's arms. They had a passionate night that lasted very long before they finally fell asleep.Isaac never knew Allegra's assertiveness would cause him to lose all reason.They woke up when Holly knocked on the door. They heard her saying Margaret and Andrew were here and were both stunned.The temperature at night was only approximately 45°F. Allegra pulled on a coat and went downstairs with Isaac. They were halfway down when they saw Andrew kneeling in the living room and Margaret sobbing on the couch."Mom, what happened? Why are you kneeling, Andrew?" Allegra's eyes widened. She briskly walked forward.She saw the traces of blood on their faces and their unkempt state, looking totally disheveled. They must've suffered a beating.Isaac stood aside, smoking, and said nothing.After Margaret told them what happened in between sobs, Allegra couldn't help but inhale sharply."Daisy is outrageous! How could she have done that?" Alleg
An hour later, a group of men in black clothes brought Bert and Daisy into the living room. They both looked scared. Shawn walked in after them in a trench coat and went to Isaac.Those two were undeniably passionate; they were still at it when Shawn and his men barged into the room.Bert shouted at them arrogantly but soon peed himself when he realized the man capturing him was the underground lord, Shawn Xeno.He only realized the reason behind his capture when he entered the living room and saw the people inside."Mr. Garten, I ran a background check on him. His family runs a business on building materials and owns several shops in the industry. Their net assets are worth seven to eight million dollars. However, his father earned those bucks—this guy had nothing to do with the businesses. Should I take down his family?"Bert dropped to his knees when he heard Shawn. He sobbed and begged, "Mr. Xeno, please forgive me. I'm sorry! It's all my fault. Please let me go.""Shut your
