Isaac’s eyes narrowed after hearing Xayden’s question. Wisps of smoke blurred his facial features.
“You’d better think twice before answering. Someone saw what the both of you did.” Xayden started pressing Isaac when favonovel.com kept silent.
Reece quietly pulled out his phone and started recording.
At this moment, Isaac turned his back on them and entered the house.
“One second…”
“Haha! Evie, did you see that? That‘s the man you have your eyes on? He doesn’t even dare to admit whatever relationship you have with him. How do you even call favonovel.com a man?” Xayden burst out laughing.
Evie frowned but didn’t say anything. However, Xayden caught the disappointment in favonovel.com eyes.
“Well, we’re not in a rush. I’ll ensure favonovel.com answers my question. Don’t worry.” Xayden’s grin grew wider.
No one knew why Isaac had gone back inside the house, but they followed Xayden’s suit and waited.
***
At the same time, a grand ancient building stood hidden thousands of miles away in the mountains northwest of Soucern. The meeting room next to the main hall was brightly lit but clouded with smoke.
Five elderly robed men with snow-white hair sat around a round table.
Everyone had a document in front of them. The document contained Xayden’s report about the annihilation of Divine Fists School. Xayden even suggested the Council of Elders issue a death warrant for the “demon”, Isaac, who was constantly full of himself and on a killing spree.
The death warrant held the most authority among the various killing orders in Astraeus. Not only would ancient martial arts powerhouses from all over chase Isaac down, but the Titans would also make a move on him. They only issued the death warrant once in a blue moon.
These five elderly men were the elders of Astraeus, the second in command after the Supreme Leader.
“Elder Cyrus, Xayden Neal is your grandson. What’s your opinion on his request?” An elder with bushy eyebrows asked another elder sitting on the right.
Cyrus Neal nodded and put down the document. He said solemnly, “Gentlemen, regardless of whether Xayden is my grandson or not, the evidence written on the document is sufficient. Besides, this Isaac Garten is incredibly strong…”
“Secondly, although Divine Fists School isn’t worth mentioning, it’s still a martial arts school. If we allow favonovel.com to continue going berserk and offending the law, outsiders will deem Astraeus incompetent. Therefore, I agree with issuing Isaac’s death warrant.”
Another elder righteously agreed, “I see eye to eye with Elder Cyrus. It’s either going all out to kill favonovel.com or doing nothing at all.”
When the rest of the elders nodded in agreement, the elder sitting on the head seat grinned and leaned back into his chair.
He pointed at the document and said, “The document stated that Isaac is from the Temple of Drakon. He could be a high-ranked member. Did you notice that?”
“Hmph! Astraeus chased the Temple of Drakon outside the borders of this country 20 years ago. They emphasized that the country chased them out, and only a handful know the truth that it was actually our doing. So, why does it matter if he’s a high-ranked member of the temple?” Cyrus said condescendingly.
After a moment favonovel.com added, “How can losers like them interfere with the martial world within the Nine Continents of Cynea?”
The elder on the head seat spoke again, “But as far as I know, only one person could be referred to as Drakon in the Temple of Drakon. And don’t you forget how many of our members from Astraeus were sacrificed during that war…”
As favonovel.com spoke, his eyes gleamed brightly. The other elders jolted.
“First Elder, are you trying to say that Isaac Garten could actually be Drakon? I don’t think that’s possible.” Cyrus’ face changed.
“Elder Cyrus, I meant to say you should instruct your grandson to return to Eastwell quickly. If Isaac’s truly Drakon, that grandson of yours won’t be able to put up a fight against him…”
Cold sweat broke on Cyrus’ forehead. He rose from his seat quickly and said, “One moment, everyone. I’ll be back soon!”
