Chapter 660: Chapter 660: Isabella

Some say that a demon from hell resides in that castle, one that revels in devouring human life.

At first, no one believed this claim, some even scoffed at it, but as expedition teams venturing into the desert began disappearing one after another, with hundreds going silent without a trace, people eventually developed a fear of that castle. They began to keep their distance, daring not to venture further within.

Hence, the castle earned the nickname "Desert Ghost Castle."

However, it was intriguing that every government of America made no comment on the incident. They simply continued to urge people not to venture into the heart of the desert and especially not to approach the castle, in order to avoid self-harm.

The castle, much like Huaxia’s "Dragon Guard," was shrouded in mystery. Only a very small number of people in the entire world knew who lived inside and what it represented.

At this moment, in the vast hall at the very center of the castle, a man and a woman were in conversation.

The man was around forty years old, with fiery red hair and a tall and burly physique. He was dressed in a camo tank top and camo pants, with brown leather boots on his feet, and a tattoo of a phoenix reborn from the flames on his left arm.

As the red-haired man spoke, he kneeled on one knee, his face wearing a look of reverent worship, and his gaze was fixed on the ground beneath him, never daring to look at the woman seated upon the high stone chair in front of the great hall, as if glancing at her would be a sacrilege.

In front of the red-haired man stood ninety-nine steps leading to a great stone chair where a woman was now seated.

To be precise, it was a young girl.

She appeared to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years of age, dressed in a purple gossamer dress, her silver hair cascading down like a waterfall to her waist. Her large, clear eyes shimmered like a pair of sapphires, radiating a profound and sagacious light.

The girl’s eyebrows were delicately arched, her nose was straight and exquisite, and her lips were as tender as flower petals. She possessed an aura of sanctity and nobility, akin to an angel gracing the mortal realm.

Sitting on the elevated stone chair at the front of the great hall, the girl looked down upon the red-haired man kneeling on one knee. Though she remained silent, her entire being exuded an air of disdain for the world below, resembling a queen who believed herself second to none.

If the owner of the "Caesar" casino, Robertson, and the owner of "King’s Boxing Ring," David, were present, they would surely recognize this young girl.

This young girl was Isabella, the leader of one of the seven largest Meta-Human organizations in the world, America’s most mysterious and powerful "Statue of Liberty."

Indeed, Isabella was just fourteen or fifteen. Despite her young age, she was born with great intelligence, meticulous and calm in thought, smarter than the vast majority of adults in the world.

Isabella joined the "Statue of Liberty" at the age of ten and, due to her innate ability to unleash electrical power, was discovered and specially groomed by the previous leader.

When Isabella was thirteen, the former leader unfortunately died during the cultivation of an ancient secret technique handed down from the era of Western mythology. Consequently, Isabella took over as the leader of the "Statue of Liberty" according to the last will.

Because Isabella was so young, many of the "Statue of Liberty" veterans initially refused to submit to her leadership. Later, Isabella, in her anger, took action and subdued those veterans one by one, thereby officially establishing her own authority.

The elders of the "Statue of Liberty" believed that Isabella was the youngest and most powerful leader in the organization’s hundred-year history and were confident that under her leadership, the "Statue of Liberty" would move towards an even more glorious future.

The "World Meta-Human Organization Elite Competition" was to be hosted by the "Statue of Liberty", and leader Isabella would be personally entering the battle. She was prepared to declare to the world’s major Meta-Human organizations that the era of Isabella had arrived and that all the powerful from countries around the world would bow at her feet.

This castle in the desert was the headquarters of the "Statue of Liberty".

A red-haired man kneeling on one knee was one of the elders of the "Statue of Liberty", named Huo Niao, a natural Meta-Human with the ability to unleash fire energy and formidable offensive power.

Huo Niao served as the intelligence officer of the "Statue of Liberty", responsible for collecting important events happening around the globe and, after analyzing them, reporting to Isabella.

At the moment, Huo Niao was reporting on the activities of Fang Bai and other "Dragon Guard" members in Las Vegas.

"...Miss Isabella, those people from Huaxia’s ’Dragon Guard’ have earned several billions of US Dollars in Las Vegas over the past couple of days through various means. The biggest losers were ’Caesar’ casino owner Robertson and ’King’s Boxing Ring’ owner David.

The competition team sent by Huaxia’s ’Dragon Guard’ this time has greatly improved in strength compared to five years ago, and the team leader is no longer the ’Dragon Guard’ leader Long Jingtian, but a young man about twenty years old named Fang Bai. This young man is famous for his dual expertise in martial arts and medicine in Huaxia.

’Dragon Guard’ did not have a character like Fang Bai before, so we speculate that Fang Bai must have joined the ’Dragon Guard’ not long ago. Fang Bai’s strength, we still can’t figure out at the moment. However, since he is the leader of the ’Dragon Guard’, his strength won’t be weak. We guess that he is at least at the Earth Level Realm, as defined by the Ancient Martial World of Huaxia..."

The red-haired man reported respectfully to leader Isabella, finished speaking, and then silently waited for Isabella’s reply.

"Alright, I’ve got it. Huo Niao, you’ve worked hard, you may leave now. The ’World Meta-Human Organization Elite Competition’ will commence tomorrow. You must diligently gather intelligence from all sides to ensure our ’Statue of Liberty’ competitors can know themselves and their rivals well; that way, we have a better chance of winning."

Isabella said so with an indifferent gaze at the kneeling Huo Niao below her.

She knew she was young and desperately tried to appear mature and stable, but she was ultimately only a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old girl, her voice sweet and crisp like a jingling wind chime, revealing her immaturity.

"Yes."

Huo Niao withdrew respectfully and slowly backed away to the entrance of the hall before turning around and striding out.

"’Dragon Guard’ sent a young man of about twenty to lead their team. What are they thinking? Do they not wish to compete for the championship? Or do they know their chances are slim and just sent someone to make up the numbers? No matter what, this championship will belong to the ’Statue of Liberty’; whoever stands in my way, I will knock them down!"

Watching Huo Niao’s departing figure, Isabella murmured to herself.

By the end of her words, a hint of purple flashed in her sapphire-like pupils, and as she slowly raised her hands, a soft "crackling" noise came from her fingertips. Faint purple lightning snakes could be seen coiling and darting between her fingers.
