Chapter 405 Simple
Chapter 405 Simple
?
Isabel is Isabel in the end. She will always be the dreams of elite men.
Now, the man who will most likely become the next Head of the Armstrong Family is also professing love for her, even to the point of him offering half the family for her.
In reality, he is younger than Isabel, unlike Owen who is the same age as her, but he doesn't seem to care about the age difference either.
He wanted Isabel because he didn't find anyone as great as her.
She was like a diamond that shone brightly, able to blind the hearts of everyone who saw it.
Fortunately, things like this were very common for Isabel. Her expression only froze for a moment. After that, she laughed softly.
"Is there something funny Mrs. Isabel?" asked Benjamin hesitantly.
"Your words are very funny," Isabel replied, not trying to hide it.
"Why?" Surprisingly enough, Benjamin asked again.
Actually, it was strange that Isabel found it funny because there was nothing to laugh at from a man declaring love, especially when the man seemed very sincere.
Perhaps what was funny to Isabel was the fact that she would soon destroy this man.
"What will you do if I refuse?" she asked, getting straight to the point.
"Yeah, since it is like that, I will knock you down first, and probably make you regret it," Benjamin replied, finally starting to show his true face.
"Owen also had such intentions, now that he is dead," Isabel replied.
"Owen?" When he heard that name, Benjamin showed an expression that looked dismissive.
"He was just a useless man. Of course, since we are family, I still have to grieve for his death and help clear his grudge." After saying that, his gaze turned towards Arthur.
He added, "If only you accept me Mrs. Isabel, I can even ask my family to forgive your nephew."
"And who needs your family's forgiveness," Arthur replied, unable to keep quiet anymore as this man seemed to live with a very arrogant outlook.
He might be smart and brilliant, but he also ridiculously believed that the world revolved around his family.
From the looks of it, he even thought his own strength was stronger than Arthur's. Plus that he had a lot of help, victory seemed to be an absolute must for him.
"Hehehehe, young man, you're a magus, right? Can you show me? I want to see if your magic is stronger or my fists?" Suddenly someone approached, a middle-aged man with a very strong-looking body.
He gave off an impression similar to that of a mercenary. His eyes had red streaks, which added to his frightening appearance.
Saying that he can make a baby stop crying with just a look is no exaggeration at all.
Arthur was not sure where the Armstrong Family found the man, but even he admitted that he was very strong, no less than Benjamin himself although overall it was only strong among the Evolvers. In front of him, he was still insignificant.
He calmly replied, "I am afraid your fists will turn to ash if they come into contact with my magic."
"Ha-ha-ha, is that so, then let's see." The man laughed even harder at Arthur's answer.
Whoosh!
He instantly moved, lunging towards Arthur. He really was the kind that didn't mince words for too long.
Benjamin looked at him before looking at Arthur, seemingly observing him.
Perhaps he wanted to see Arthur's strength clearly first.
However, much to his surprise, Isabel who was sitting down suddenly pointed her finger at the man.
"Eat this," she said.
A bolt of lightning slid from her finger, quickly moving towards the man.
The latter only realized when the lightning bolt arrived in front of him.
BANG!
It slammed into his body and what happened next exceeded Arthur's expectations.
Without any particular process and effect, the man's body suddenly became ashes, falling to the floor to form a pile.
Instantly, every mouth opened and every hand rubbed its eyes, staring at the pile of ashes in disbelief.
"You?" Even Benjamin staggered until his foot nudged something, which then caused him to fall.
He was surprised that Isabel was also a Magus, and more surprised that her attack instantly turned his strongest subordinate into ashes.
Even he rubbed his eyes several times. He couldn't believe what he was seeing either.
Arthur, on the other hand, looked at Isabel with a wry smile.
The reason the man was instantly reduced to ashes was of course because Isabel actually released a lot of power into the lightning that was thrown at the man.
Not to mention an Evolver, even the strongest Apprentice Magus would have a hard time surviving if he failed to dodge that lightning.
Isabel also looked very calm despite having turned another person into ashes.
Arthur wondered if she no longer felt uncomfortable after killing others or because the man's death process was too simple that Isabel didn't realize that she had just killed someone.
Regardless, the important thing now was to kill them all as their lives would only make things troublesome.
And by doing so, the Armstrong Family would lose most of its power. Arthur couldn't believe they had more Evolvers elsewhere.
Perhaps if there was one problem it was that their Family Head could use nuclear weapons.
Arthur then made his move, attacking the Evolvers who were still in a state of shock.
He was able to move without making any sound at all, and once he arrived in front of one of them, he released a flame that covered the Evolver in front of him.
The fire was extremely hot and green in color, a combination of the fire he got from the bird feathers that helped him become an Official Magus.
Even when he only used a little power, he managed to reduce the Evolver to ashes.
And he did not give a second glance before moving in another direction.
His boundless power as an Official Magus made the battle go by very quickly.
Over time, Benjamin's skin began to turn deathly pale.
"Stop it!" He even said that because he was too disbelieving of what was happening in front of his eyes.
Everything he planned, the easy victory he expected, it turned out to be just nonsense because there was too much difference in strength.
After a few minutes, all the Evolvers were finally reduced to ashes.
There was nothing left but Benjamin.
Arthur looked at him and smiled faintly, a smile that was terrifying in Benjamin's eyes.
"H-how can you be that strong?" Apparently, he managed to calm down and even asked.
Although he had always been confident so far, he had never thought of Arthur as very weak just because he was young while he knew practicing magic took time.
However, Arthur was not only strong, but too strong.
"Hmm, do you regret it now?" Isabel stood up and responded, looking him straight in the eye.
Her gaze gave the impression that she was a tiger ready to pounce on its prey.
Benjamin's breathing seemed to become difficult when he heard her words.
After that he glanced left and right, looking like he was looking for a way to leave.
Unfortunately, it was laughed at by Isabel.
"Arthur is stronger than me, but we're actually on the same level. Have you heard of it, the Official Magus Stage, it's the next stage after being an Apprentice Magus?" she said.
Actually, Benjamin's knowledge of magic was not that deep. He knew the division of power a little, but did not really understand the next stage.
He also never thought about it too much. Like Suzune at that time, he thought Evolver was a path that could equally achieve infinite power, perhaps even better since all it took was science.
All in all, he could not say anything in response to Isabel's words.
His mind was completely stuck, he had no solution at all. Perhaps he could find a solution if his subordinates were still alive, but now they were all dead to ashes.
"Aunt, what are we going to do about him?" Arthur asked Isabel in a casual tone.
It was Benjamin who was surprised.
He felt like eating dirt as his fate was being talked about, something he thought was impossible as he was always the one talking about other people's fates.
No, he often even talked about the fate of a nation.
"Never give mercy to the Armstrong Family, not for nothing, but of all the Global Elite families, they are the most dangerous. You know, they even dare to live in Europe," Isabel replied without thinking at all. It seemed that she also had special thoughts towards them.
"Alright!" Arthur immediately agreed with her suggestion.
After that, he moved, appearing beside Benjamin.
"Wait!" The man seemed to want to stop him, but he really did not stop.
His green flames enveloped his body, turning him into ashes in just a split second.
Phew!
Arthur exhaled a breath that produced a strong gust of wind, blowing all the ash out the window, flying into the airport.
This was a result that didn't need to be expected. Even if he wasn't here, Isabel could achieve the same result.
