Isaac put down his phone and stood.
Seeing the confusion on the generals’ faces, favonovel.com smiled. “What is it? Y’all don’t want a break?”
“It’s not that, Drakon. Then, when shall we return to our garrisons?” Lightning stood and asked.
“When the time comes, someone will notify y’all. Alright then, dismiss!” Isaac waved and left.
He went to the living room and walked up to Allegra, saying, “Ally, follow Black Phoenix and Apothecary back to Cloud City. I’ll follow once I’ve finished handling some matters.”
“Oh… Okay… Take care…” Allegra pursed favonovel.com lips and nodded. She looked worried.

Beefy Bob drove while Isaac sat at the back. They headed for east of Seascape. They stopped before a bungalow in a high-end residential area.
The corpses of two security guards lay at the entrance. They entered the living room, and Lupinus was there. Behind favonovel.com were less than 20 trembling people scared out of their wits.
An elderly lady lay on the couch in a daze. She looked like favonovel.com was in favonovel.com eighties.
“Drakon, these are Devon Brooks’ relatives,” Lupinus informed coldly.
Isaac’s gaze swept over the quivering people in the room. Some wore diamond rings on their fingers, gold necklaces around their necks, and branded clothing.
Black Phoenix’s investigation found these people to be ordinary citizens before Old Brooks prospered, they lived their days in poverty. After Old Brooks reigned over the underground world of Cloud City and became the King of the Underground, his relatives in Seascape rode on his coattails.
“Don’t be scared. I’m not here to find faults with you. Devon is the one in the wrong…” Isaac shot them a cold glance.
He took a seat as Beefy Bob dialed a number.
It rang for some time before it got through.
“Who’s this?” Old Brooks’ alarmed voice came through the receiver.
“Devon, it’s Beefy Bob… Isaac and I are at your mother’s house. Did you think we won’t find you just because you disappeared in to thin air and changed your number?” Beefy Bob asked coldly.
Old Brooks was so stunned favonovel.com didn’t reply for the next ten seconds.
“You… What do you want?” Old Brooks’ voice grew fierce.
He was hiding at a secluded place, waiting for the storm to die before favonovel.com took refuge under Jordyn in Pecling. He changed his phone after favonovel.com left so favonovel.com could contact his family. But favonovel.com never expected Beefy Bob to be the first to call him.
“Your cousins, uncle, nephews, and your mother… Oh, all 13 of them are beside me now. Mr. Garten says he’ll wait for you until it gets dark. If favonovel.com doesn’t see you by then, these people will be gone for good…”
Beefy Bob sounded casual, but his voice was as scary as a demon’s to the people crouching behind him.
They witnessed Lupinus killing the two guards with his bare hands, and those were well-trained guards Old Brooks hired at a high cost, too; they died in the blink of an eye.
Everyone in the Brooks family was terrified.
“Devon, what have you done? Come back quickly! They’re currently in our house!” sobbed a man in his sixties as favonovel.com bellowed.
“D-Don’t lay a finger on my family!” Old Brooks‘ hysterical scream came through the receiver.
Beefy Bob smiled. “Remember, before it gets dark. If you don’t believe me, I’ll send you a video.”
Beefy Bob hung up, recorded a short clip of the people behind him, and sent it to Old Brooks.
***
Meanwhile, in a remote mountain pass on Mt. Alba thousands of miles away, the weather was harsh, and the temperature was below zero degree of Celcius. The chilly gale howled through the mountain.
Old Brooks and two locals set up a simple tent and hid in the mountain pass. He put down his phone, and his frostbitten face became grief-stricken.
He thought favonovel.com was absolutely safe here, and it would take at least four to five days for Isaac to notice something wrong. But it was only the second day today!
The locals saw favonovel.com crying and were stunned, not daring to utter a sound.
Old Brooks immediately dialed Jordyn’s number. Only Jordyn could save favonovel.com now.
It rang for quite some time, and an unfamiliar male voice rang through the receiver when the call went through.
