No matter how loudly the Mortodors cried or screamed for help, Elijah left without looking back."Tell Oscar Exeter to wait for me like a good little boy," Isaac said with an evil sneer as he suddenly hammered his fist into a wooden chair next to him, which immediately blew into smithereens. Elijah was already out of the door when he suddenly felt a deep shiver from within. He quickly hurried out of the place after that."Drakon, why did you let him go?" Lucas asked anxiously.Isaac just shook his head silently. If he didn't let Elijah go, then it would imply Isaac was declaring war against all of Rippan. And this was not the right time to do so.Isaac then approached the body wrapped in white cloth and picked it up before heading out. "Burn down the hall and make sure nobody gets out alive."By the time he said it, he was already out of the door. More loud cries and screams were heard from behind.Moments later, Lupinus and everyone else had come out. The ancestral hall was then engu
Lupinus and the others watched as Isaac kneeled down next to the biggest cherry blossom tree and dug a grave with his hands. Then, he gently placed Emily into the grave and buried her there, covering her with dirt until it was a flat surface again. He didn't set up a tombstone for her because he didn't want her body to be disturbed.The place where he buried her was a very scenic area that overlooked the whole city under the mountains, just in front of the first line of cherry blossom trees.Isaac lit up a cigarette and took a long drag as he looked at the silver crescent pendant in his hand. He had retrieved it from Emily before burying her in the ground. This was all he had left to mourn her with."Elliot, call Black Phoenix. I want the exact locations of all the Exeter family members," Isaac said coldly, pocketing the pendant in his chest pocket and puffing out a cloud of smoke. Elliot immediately took his phone out and made the call.A while later, Elliot hung up and said, "Oscar's
"What are you screaming for? Are you out of your mind?" Oscar yelled, immediately jumping to his feet.Whoosh!A dagger shot out from the door and went straight through the air stewardess' stomach before falling to the ground. Then, Isaac walked out slowly from the cockpit and smirked at Oscar. "Sorry, but the flight today's been canceled."Isaac was brimming with spiritual energy, and it filled the entire aircraft. Isaac then grabbed another dagger and pounced on Oscar.By the time Isaac returned to the hotel, it was already dawn. He sat in the lobby and started smoking. Within the next half hour, Lupinus, Elliot, and the rest of his team gradually trickled in from outside.As of now, all 29 members of the Exeter family had been killed.Isaac and his men were still asleep when the Jolkyo Law Enforcement Unit released a statement that caused the whole elite group in the country to erupt into chaos.Last night at midnight, the Mortodors and the Exeters had been destroyed. Not a single f
The Royal Pavilion was located on the northmost side of Jolkyo. It was a temple with the most beautiful view in the city, and it was not open to the public because the four princes often gathered there to discuss issues about the country.Duncan quickly got ready and left for the Royal Pavilion in his private car. He'd never even seen the student of the Nimja Lord before, so he was curious as to how Elijah managed to invite him over.He followed the designated staff into the temple and went upstairs to the meeting room on the third floor. Walking into the room, he saw three people sitting around a table. The first one was Elijah, and there was an elder with gray hair sitting next to him.To the opposite of them sat a middle-aged man with a scar on his face. When he saw their gloomy expressions, Duncan chuckled and sat down next to the guy with the scarred face, saying, "I see that Prince Desmond and Prince Solomon are already here. Didn't you say that Nimja Lord's apprentice was here a
James Skeet?Issac hurriedly went to open the door for him. James nodded in gratitude at him before entering the room."Mr. James, what are you doing here so early in the morning? Is there something I can help you with?" Isaac shut the door behind them and looked at the newcomer in surprise. How did he manage to find him so quickly?James looked around the room and walked over to Isaac before telling him about everything in a hushed tone."The Nimja Lord's apprentice? Willie Smalls?" Isaac stared at James in disbelief. That guy had to have some balls to live with that name. "Yes, Lord Willie. He's been the top-ranked nimja in the country for three years in a row. Prince Duncan told me to inform you all to leave."Isaac frowned slightly. If the princes joined forces with a supposed apprentice of the Nimja Lord, things would indeed look grim for them."Thanks for telling us, Mr. James. Please convey our gratitude to Prince Duncan. But I'm not done mourning Emily yet, so I can't leave,"
The hotel room wasn't spacious. However, there were three or four men surrounding a young woman in the middle, and the men all looked sinister.The young woman was holding a pair of sharp scissors in her hands as she looked at them in fear. There was some blood in the corner of her lips, and her face and thighs were littered with bruises. It looked like she was injured.Two guys at the farthest end had blood on their arms and thighs. They both looked extremely menacing as they were most probably hurt by the pair of scissors the girl was holding.When the door opened with a bang, everyone immediately turned to look at him, their expressions darkening. One of the men was a blond guy who yelled at Isaac, "The Black Hawks are here on business, fuck off if you know what's good for you!"Suddenly, the young woman in the middle screamed, "Sir, please save me! Sir, don't leave me here!"Hearing the young lady's screams and cries for help, Isaac took a few more steps into the room and said cold
The young lady held on to Isaac tightly as they maneuvered the dark, eerie streets at night. Their shadows cast on the ground by the dim streetlights were long and stretched out.They turned into a small lane and reached a tiny brick hut. The young lady then hurriedly knocked on the door several times, crying out, "Grandma, it's me! Grandma, open the door, please!"Creak!The door opened, revealing an old woman with a severe hunchback. When she saw the young lady's torn and tattered clothing and the bruises on her neck, the old woman immediately approached her and exclaimed, "Erica! What happened? How did your bruises all come about?"The young lady immediately burst into tears. She sobbed and hiccuped as she told her grandmother everything that had happened. She had been on her way to her friend's house for a group study when she got abducted by some bad guys on the streets. She also described how Isaac had saved her.The old woman looked at Isaac and gratefully held his hand, saying,
Madame Fleur then told Isaac that there were many mythical and legendary creatures in Rippan, such as Lady Os, Wine Ghost, Son of the River, Feline Spirit, Mountain Fairy, Eight-Headed Serpent, and more. Some were indeed mythical, but others were real spirits and creatures. It was just that regular commoners like them couldn't see these spirits. And most unfortunately, Lady Os, whom the Mortodors worshiped, did exist.In other words, those who were sacrificed to Lady Os could never be brought back to life and would only continue to die a second death in hell forever.Under the dim light in the hut, Isaac felt as if he was in a nightmare just listening to Madame Fleur describing all these things in detail. He couldn't believe his ears. What were those spirits, second deaths, and mythical creatures she was talking about again?"How can I see Emily again?" Isaac asked rather impatiently."Do you have any of her belongings with you? A handkerchief or scarf would work well."Isaac immediat
