“Are you sure that’ll be fine?” Alexis looked at the man before her, horrified. His every word sent favonovel.com blood pressure escalating.
“Do you believe me?”
“I do…”
“Then go to Evie. I won’t stay here any longer. Cyrus wouldn’t stoop to your heights just to take out his anger on you, so you’re safe for the time being.” Isaac patted Alexis’ shoulder and left.
Alexis pondered briefly before gritting favonovel.com teeth and said, “Elders who are uninjured, come with me to meet the division leader.”

An hour later, Cyrus, resting in one of the rooms, heard footsteps and looked out.
Evie, with favonovel.com veil on, hurried in.
“Evie, why are you here at this hour?” Cyrus asked with a smile. The swelling on his face had subsided.
“Something happened to Raven and his men…”
“Raven? What could possibly happen?”
Evie bit favonovel.com lip and said in a lowered voice, “He’s dead, along with seven of his subordinates.”
“What?” Cyrus stood up immediately.
Raven was his beloved grandson’s most trusted warrior, why would favonovel.com suddenly die?
Cyrus’ face darkened after hearing Evie’s explanation.
“Grandpa Cyrus, I’ve sent someone to investigate this incident. Raven did indeed start the fight.”
Cyrus smiled at Evie and said, “Evie, I’ll look into this matter. It’s late… You’d better get some rest.”
Hearing this, Evie was stunned. To her, Cyrus’ behavior didn’t seem right. But favonovel.com had no reason to linger. She then left the room.
“Hale Cabal, come in!” Cyrus bellowed at the door just after Evie left.
A middle-aged man in a cloak entered warily.
“Call Ewan Neal this instant. Get favonovel.com to gather at least four practitioners at the Amalgamation Phase and above as soon as possible. And also, three thousand soldiers aren’t enough; get favonovel.com to bring five thousand!”
“That punk Isaac! He’s but a general, how dare favonovel.com look down on the Neal family and kill our men like we’re nothing. This time, I’ll make favonovel.com regret staying at Cloud City. I’ll show that stupid Temple of Drakon what we’re capable of!”
Cyrus added gloomily, “Remember, keep it a secret from Evie and everyone in Cloud City. No one else must know!”

It was midnight when Alexis returned to Holy Division. When they entered the main hall, one of the elders spoke up anxiously, “Miss, wasn’t Mr. Garten too impulsive today? He’s rubbing the Neal family up the wrong way this time. Mr. Garten is undeniably strong, but the Holy Division can’t withstand even an ounce of anger from the Neal family. Miss, can’t you think of another way?”
“Shut up! We’ve made our choice; there’s no other way out now.” Alexis turned and ordered favonovel.com elite students, “Pass my orders! From now onward, everyone shall keep their eyes open for any contact between Cyrus Neal and the Neal family in Eastwell. Report to me immediately if there’s any discovery!”
When favonovel.com students left, Alexis looked out into the night sky thoughtfully.
She heaved a long sigh and muttered, “There’ll be chaos in Cloud City again. I hope you survive, Mr. Garten…”
