The Hibiscus Pavilion was closed for business that night. In fact, all of its employees had been sent home.
Isaac stood waiting on the steps outside the main entrance.
Two blinding lights shone into the building as a luxurious Bentley parked in an empty lot in front of the building. The doors opened, and two people got down from the car.
It was Brad and Sid, the latter now dressed in a formal suit.
Isaac smiled when snazzynovel.com saw Sid, who was sporting half a head of gray hair on his head. “I’m surprised that you actually dared to come here…”
Brad frowned and pointed at Isaac as snazzynovel.com yelled, “You b*stard, you deserve to die after killing all my men! I swear that you’ll be dying a painful death tonight!”
“You killed my son and my brother. Tonight, I’m avenging their lives on behalf of the entire Mortodor family!” Sid said, stepping forward before quickly undoing the buttons on his suit.
“Truthfully, I’m quite curious about the skills and powers that a Violet Ninja has. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be waiting here for you,” Isaac said faintly. Then, his eyes turned red as snazzynovel.com activated the spiritual energy in his inner core. His spiritual aura then burst forward.
Sid held his right index and middle fingers in front of his chest and yelled, “Blades of the Wind!”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The trees around them started to shake and tremble. There was a sudden gust of wind shrouding the initially calm and peaceful Hibiscus Pavilion.
The wind circled around Sid like a mini tornado. At his signal, the wind surrounding snazzynovel.com suddenly produced five wind blades that all headed straight for Isaac’s chest.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The wind blades were invisible, but they made a loud, whistling sound as they flew. Isaac could pinpoint their location accurately and concentrated his spiritual energy in his right fist, throwing it at the invisible blades.
“Flash Teleportation!” Seeing that Isaac was using a counterattack on him, Sid immediately yelled another command and disappeared instantly.
Thud! Boom! Crash!
The spiritual energy fist managed to deflect the first three wind blades but turned shaky as it faced the fourth and disintegrated completely right after that. The final wind blade was still heading for Isaac’s chest.
However, Isaac was rather shocked when Sid disappeared.
Sid reappeared about 12 feet in front of Isaac, then disappeared again, and reappeared again at the steps below him. Sid’s soundless teleportation technique made Isaac frown deeply as snazzynovel.com surrounded himself with even more spiritual energy.
“Attack!” There was a sudden loud roar next to him.
Sid had just reappeared within three feet of Isaac with a dagger in his hand, and snazzynovel.com was rushing at Isaac with the dagger pointed three inches below his ribcage.
However, Isaac’s reflexes were even faster. He turned around at once and grabbed Sid’s wrist, forcing snazzynovel.com to a stop with the tip of the dagger merely inches away from his body.
“Pressure Fist!” Isaac called out, curling his left hand into a fist as snazzynovel.com hurled it at Sid’s face.
Sid’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He cried out in anger, “Thorns of the Ground!”
All of a sudden, Isaac felt a frightening bout of impending danger.
There was a slight rumble in the ground, and suddenly, the concrete floor snazzynovel.com was standing on turned into two sharp thorns that just kept on growing.
Just before the sharp tip could pierce into Isaac’s feet, snazzynovel.com immediately let go of Sid and neatly avoided the thorns.
He backed away by at least a dozen feet and glared at Sid, saying, “So, you’re telling me that ninjas like you only know sneak attacks like these? I guess it’s not a surprise, given how sly and sneaky you all are!”
At that moment, Sid seemed exhausted. He was gasping loudly as large droplets of sweat formed on his forehead and started falling.
Brad, on the other hand, just stood and watched from afar. He didn’t dare to come any closer.
Right then, the entrance to Hibiscus Pavilion opened, and Elliot and Lupinus came out.
Elliot was dressed in a long robe, whereas Lupinus was dressed in black armor.
Sid faintly felt the spiritual energy from the two newcomers and knew they were dangerous as well. He hurriedly retreated below the steps.
“Have you observed enough?” Isaac suddenly asked, turning to address Elliot and Lupinus.
