"Wow!" Isabel looked mesmerized by the large, bright yellow fruits inside.

Without hesitation, she took one of them and started eating it.

The dense aroma made the men stare at Isabel, and they probably suddenly became hungry.

"It's so good, better than anything I've ever eaten." Isabel was quick to praise the fruit.

Arthur also started eating it. Even in the Sky World, this was also considered the king of all fruits because of its flavor that could indeed compete with centenary grapes.

In fact, it can also make one drunk just by consuming the fruit.

"By the way, where did you get the ring?" Isabel then asked.

"From the Patriarch of the Werewolves," Arthur replied without hiding it.

After saying that, he explained how he met the Werewolves in Paris.

Hearing that, Isabel couldn't help but laugh, finding it strange that a group with spiritual power was apparently short of money, and when they did business, their businesses always went bankrupt.

Only, Arthur did not tell Isabel the amount he gave to Bruce.

He was worried that Isabel would actually try to find out.

Although there was nothing he could do if she found out, it was still uncomfortable for Arthur if Isabel knew that he was in a relationship with Rebecca.

Isabel must have suspected that their relationship was more than just boss and subordinate.

From Isabel's point of view, it might not matter if he was fooling around with a young woman around his age or ten years older than him like Amanda or even Suzune, or even Ayumi.

However, women of Isabel's own age like Rebecca or Anna could be awkward for Isabel.

Isabel continued to eat the durian, seemingly enjoying it more and more.

She would occasionally stare in a certain direction, which was her form of vigilance against enemies.

"Mm!!!" She was suddenly drawn to a private jet flying high in the sky.

Surprisingly, it was flying right above their heads.

As Isabel continued to stare at the jet, she suddenly saw something black falling from it.

It fell at a normal speed at first, but over time it became faster so it didn't take long before Arthur and Isabel could clearly see what it was.

It turned out to be a black cloak covering an old figure with long golden hair.

He already looked very old, but his skin was still clear and healthy, reddish-white in color.

His hand held an iron staff that seemed transparent, something that did not exist on modern earth.

The old man's eyes looked down, and when he saw the crater where Joshua was lying, his eyes suddenly glowed red.

"Insolent!" He shouted, his voice echoing so loudly that it shook the ground.

Arthur frowned, thinking that he was very strong even among the First Stage Official Magus.

Basically, he had a very deep accumulation.

BANG!

He landed in front of Arthur and Isabel who were sitting down, knocking down several trees due to the vibrations generated by his landing.

However, he didn't care about the surroundings as he was focused on Arthur and Isabel.

A huge flame appeared behind him before transforming into a very imposing fire tiger figure.

"Who are you two? Did you hurt my grandson?" he asked in a very majestic voice.

He looked extremely arrogant, which was obvious because he was a rare creature on this planet where he had the right to look down on even a country. That attitude did not disappear even though he met the other two Official Magus.

"Yes!" Isabel replied as she stood up. "And now it's your turn, old man," she said.

She took a step forward while several lightning bolts appeared around her, surrounding her body while vibrating the air.

Since she had just broken through, she obviously wanted to do battle with the other Official Magus.

Arthur looked at her back and chose to remain seated.

Although Isabel had just broken through, Arthur didn't think she would lose to the Old Magus.

Even if the latter had a very deep accumulation, but Isabel was a Magus with very powerful spells.

In the Sky World, she would be considered a genius.

When Isabel showed her strength, the old man finally narrowed his eyes, showing a more serious demeanor.

"Hmph!" He snorted coldly and pointed his staff at Isabel.

Whoosh!

The fire tiger behind him lunged towards Isabel.

The latter did not retreat, but pointed her hand forward in response.

ROAR!

The head of the previous lightning dragon appeared again, meeting the fire tiger.

They quickly collided, creating chaos everywhere. It even produced many roaring sounds.

When the two Official Magus fought, the three magus watching were so shocked that they wanted to run away, but were unfortunately unable to do so because their bodies were tied up.

Some of the remaining attacks eventually landed on them, leaving them injured.

Arthur, on the other hand, just observed the fight for a while.

He thought it would last for quite a while.

Over time, the damage or their fight really reached an astonishing point. Even the lake was completely destroyed, the water dried up due to the heat of the fire and lightning.

And many of the fish that were thrown into the air were already cooked so they could be eaten right away.

The few animals that happened to be around ran off into the distance. They were too scared to get close.

Of course, Isabel and the old man, Santiago, also looked exhausted after unleashing so much power.

After some time, Isabel also started to show her superiority.

This was her advantage as a Magus who possessed the Great Spell. She can fight longer.

Even her wounds recovered faster.

That condition does not apply to Santiago.

Even his steps seemed unsteady.

Now, he could only stare at Isabel in shock, clearly surprised that a woman who to him was only a little girl could be stronger than him.

He also began to look worried, clearly worried about losing and being captured or even tortured.

His expression showed that he was starting to think about running away.

If he chose to escape, he would probably still succeed. That was if he didn't consider Arthur's existence.

The truth was that he was still unsure how strong Arthur was, but he assumed he was no stronger than Isabel.

"Little girl, you won today, but don't be happy yet, I'll get my revenge in the future!" He finally said that.

After that, he turned around and jumped into the air.

There was no other choice. His extreme old age made him have no shame to choose a rational way to survive.

He seemed to be sparing no energy to escape as his speed actually instantly reached an unimaginable level.

Unfortunately, when he had only been flying for a short while, the previously seated Arthur suddenly appeared in front of him as if he had teleported. Even he looked like he had just stood up.

"You?" The old man spontaneously stopped, opening his mouth in amazement.

"When you want to escape, you should apologize, not talk about revenge," Arthur told him.

It was the most polite way to admit defeat, but even if one wanted revenge, it should not be said.

After saying that, Arthur took a step forward, a step that was several times faster than the old man's flying speed.

He appeared in front of him and then hit his face very hard.

BANG!

Whoosh!

He was thrown straight down, landing right in front of Isabel, spending a huge spiderweb-shaped crack.

His chest heaved and he vomited blood, instantly turning deathly pale.

Isabel looked at him and perhaps because she still had a grudge against him, the sole of her foot moved towards his face.

BANG!

His head was instantly buried into the ground as it was stepped on by Isabel.

When it comes to hurting an opponent, a woman is always more ruthless.

Arthur who appeared beside Isabel didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Arthur, what did you do to them?" Isabel asked Arthur, looking at the others as well.

Arthur didn't answer, he looked at the three magus he had bound.

As he untied them, he said, "come here!"

Even though they were injured and Arthur was their enemy, but perhaps because they were too scared, they immediately rushed to Arthur when they heard his call.

Once they arrived in front of him, Arthur said, "take this old man back to the mansion before!"

After saying that, he said to Isabel, "let's go!"

He then flew into the air, leaving the three magus confused.

They were unsure of what was happening, but at the same time were too terrified to disobey Arthur's orders.

Isabel immediately followed Arthur, and she asked again, "what did you tell them to come back for?"

"Perhaps I will force them to work for me, however, there is also no advantage to killing them. In this world where magus are rare creatures, recruiting those who were originally enemies is not necessarily bad," Arthur replied.

Perhaps he will order them to become teachers for the talented young Parisians.

Arthur didn't want their existence to be wasted.

Plus, he thought they could help lighten the burden when he had to deal with the Global Elites later.

Of course, he doesn't care for Joshua, which is why he chose to leave him. He didn't care whether he died or lived in that forest. Maybe he'd be eaten by the beast field if he couldn't leave there.
