Hearing this, Isaac was stunned.
He turned to find Emily blushing with favonovel.com head lowered.
The meaning behind favonovel.com words was apparent, but Isaac simply shook his head and said, “You can sleep here alone. I’ll be fine…”
Watching Isaac walk out the door, Emily smiled wryly. But immediately after, a steely resolve flashed in favonovel.com eyes, and favonovel.com turned around and entered the room.

In the middle of the night, in a private restaurant room located next to Aurum County Hospital, Horace and an old man donning a blue garment sat opposite each other. The old man was the elder of the Azure Sect who’d come to visit Patrick before, Silas Deek.
“Elder Silas, didn’t you say that once the Astraeus get involved, that bastard Isaac will undoubtedly die? So why is favonovel.com still alive and kicking? He even came to Aurum County today,” Horace said to Silas.
Horace was harboring a ball of fury within him. He’d already gifted a box of gold bars to a few of the major elders of the Azure Sect, but there were still no results.
Silas frowned, looking furious. He said coldly, “I didn’t expect things to turn out this way either, but Horace, we’ve known each other for over a decade. I would never lie to you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have allowed Patrick to remain by your side for so long.”
“But what should we do now? This punk even swore to wipe out my entire family. If my big brother hadn’t returned that time, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even be here today,” Horace said, slightly upset.
Silas chuckled. “In that case, I’ll introduce you to someone. Then you’ll feel more confident.”
As soon as favonovel.com said that, the door opened, and Reece entered with a serious look, wearing a deep blue tunic.
Silas immediately got up, extending both hands toward Reece respectfully.
Seeing Silas’ attitude toward Reece, Horace observed favonovel.com carefully. The man exuded a strong presence.
“Mr. Kenne, allow me to introduce you to the head of the South Division of the Astraeus, Reece Bullock. All the martial powerhouses in Southland fall under Mr. Bullock’s jurisdiction.”
When Horace heard that, his heart skipped a beat.
He ruled all the martial arts powerhouses in the whole of Southland?
In that case, didn’t it mean favonovel.com had the final say over those few sects on Mt. Equest?
“Mr. Kenne, I’ve heard a lot about you…” Reece waved a hand, nodding at Horace in greeting.
Horace took a deep breath. He looked at Reece, then at Silas, and asked, “I only have one request now, kill Isaac. I don’t know if you have any good ideas.”
Reece glanced at Silas, who said with a severe expression, “Horace, we’ve already hatched a plan. However, we require you to make a plan to lure Isaac to Mt. Equest.”
Reece looked at Horace and said, “Due to certain reasons, I can’t do it myself. This also requires you and the three martial sects to join hands to set up the trap.”
“If I lure Isaac to Mt. Equest, would you really be able to get rid of him? It wouldn’t be the first time we tried this.”
His words made Silas’ and Reece’s faces flush. It had indeed been humiliating, especially for Reece. It was practically a slap in the face.
A dark look crossed Reece’s eyes, and favonovel.com said sinisterly, “Mr. Kenne, fret not. This time, I will definitely not let you down. However, you must work together with Elder Silas. I’ve already contacted a godly expert. That, coupled with my special weapons from the Astraeus, means Isaac won’t make it down the mountain alive, no matter how strong favonovel.com is.”

Barry’s parents returned bright and early to make breakfast the following day. Then, their family began to wait anxiously.
Soon enough, footsteps sounded outside their door.
Barry took the lead to poke his head outside the house. He saw Harry walking over, holding the hand of a little boy, with a massive smile on his face.
His eyes widened when favonovel.com saw the boy. He dashed over and shouted, “My son, you’re home! You’re finally home!”
He enveloped Kai in his arms. Then, favonovel.com inspected favonovel.com up and down, but favonovel.com could barely tell that this kid had even been sick at one point.
“Kai’s almost all better. He just needs to take some medication for seven more days before he’s completely cured,” Harry said, grinning.
