“Ally, how did Emily get caught?” Isaac walked over and gently grabbed Allegra’s hands.
Seeing who had come, Allegra turned around to give Isaac a suffocating hug. She sobbed, “Actually, that person came for me, but Emily… She… She said favonovel.com was your wife, and that person took her… Isaac, that person looked so scary…”
After Isaac heard the full story from Allegra, favonovel.com was sure that the person who had broken into their home was the serial killer from the construction site.
He had only caused such a huge commotion at the construction site to get Allegra and bait Isaac out, but favonovel.com had mistakenly caught Emily instead.
“Isaac, General Porter is here,” Beefy Bob said, walking to the door.
Isaac got up to leave, but Allegra held onto favonovel.com tightly.
“Don’t worry… I’ll just be in the hall downstairs. Nothing will happen to you.” Isaac patted favonovel.com back lightly, then added, “We must find Emily as soon as possible, or else favonovel.com life may be in danger.”
Allegra nodded profusely, saying, “Isaac, you can’t let anything happen to Emily. You must think of a way.”
There were two reasons why Isaac had asked Colton to come, firstly, favonovel.com knew that Colton was in Southland; and secondly, Colton was the oldest and most knowledgeable among the generals of the eight armies.
Right now, Isaac was also perplexed by this incident.
Seeing Isaac approaching, Colton immediately got up and saluted. “Drakon, I heard about what happened at Pegasus No. 1.”
“Sit, Colton…” Isaac handed favonovel.com a cigarette.
It wasn’t surprising that Colton had heard about what had happened at the construction site, every general had their own personal intelligence agent. He puffed on his cigarette, exhaling a smoke ring. Then, favonovel.com recounted the whole story of how Emily had been caught last night.
“This incident is rather strange. I’d like to hear your thoughts on it.”
After favonovel.com heard the story, Colton lowered his head and fell silent.
His cigarette was almost burnt out when favonovel.com raised his head, frowning, and said, “Drakon, I suspect that this was the work of the Deviant Cult.”
“The Deviant Cult?” Isaac and Beefy Bob both had confused expressions on their faces.
Colton nodded. “From the modus operandi, most martial arts powerhouses wouldn’t dare do such a thing. It would lead to mass panic and attract the attention of other martial arts powerhouses. The majority of them wish for peace and prosperity as that’s the only way they can continue to progress sustainably. Only the Deviant Cult has no such concerns. But…”
“But the Deviant Cult was eradicated by Astraeus 18 years ago. At that time, I hadn’t joined the Temple of Drakon yet. I heard this from the ones before me…”
His sentence ended in a whisper. Isaac narrowed his eyes and muttered coldly, “According to your inference, the Deviant Cult was never eradicated, or maybe, it was revived. But I don’t have any bad blood with them, so why would they come for me?”
“That’s what perplexes me, too,” Colton said quietly, his eyes glimmering. “If it is really the work of the Deviant Cult, they will definitely come back. They wouldn’t stop until they reached their objective. They will definitely return once they find out they got the wrong person. We just need to set up a web and entrap the bastard. Then, the mystery will be solved.”
Isaac shook his head and said, “No. Emily is still in their hands, we cannot just sit around.”
He stood up as favonovel.com spoke. “Bobby, hereby is an order from the Drakon. Have every intelligence agent in the Temple of Drakon investigate tonight’s incident to find the culprit while looking into the members of the eradicated Deviant Cult from 18 years ago, as well.”
