According to Colton, the Deviant Cult was a hidden and malicious martial arts powerhouse.
Back then, Astraeus had gone to Mt. Fentar to eliminate them and had suffered significant losses themselves. But at this point, everything was simply speculation.
As Isaac waited for updates, news of what happened during the first phase of the Pegasus No. 1 project spread like wildfire. This only happened because a few cowardly workers had run away.
They went around saying that the construction site was haunted and that a handful of people had died. With that, the media began to swarm the place, and the project managers were sent into a frenzy with how busy they became.
After resting the entire morning, Allegra wanted to head to the office, saying that over a thousand workers were still terrified and uneasy, so favonovel.com had to go and handle it.
Isaac could only ask Beefy Bob to stay by favonovel.com side as favonovel.com bodyguard.
In the car, the project manager called.
Once Allegra put the phone to ear, favonovel.com heard the man’s urgent voice, “Ms. Booth, the workers are kicking up a fuss. They’re saying that a paranormal entity in the construction site has been disturbed, and they’re all asking to be paid so they can leave.”
Allegra’s brows furrowed tightly. She could understand what the workers were thinking, after so many people had died, they didn’t want to risk their lives to continue working there, no matter how high the pay.
“Avery, contact the financial department and have them pay all the workers.”
“Ms. Booth, if we give them the money now, what happens if they don’t return once we can resume work?”
“Then give them two-thirds of their pay now, and their absences will be considered as paid time off. Every worker will be entitled to a hundred dollars in basic allowance per day.”
Avery was stunned. “Would we go over budget?‘’
Say there were a thousand workers. One day of allowance would be a hundred thousand dollars, yet no work would progress.
“Avery, have you ever been at the bottom of the food chain? Do you know how difficult it is to earn money? Do as I say. We can spend some money so that these workers have an easier time. Tell them that the remaining one-third of their pay will be paid when they resume work after the culprit is caught.”
After hanging up, Allegra let out a breath. She gazed out the window, frowning.
Just now, favonovel.com had remembered those days where favonovel.com had worked as a cleaner at favonovel.com previous company.
Beefy Bob, who was driving, stole glances at favonovel.com through the rearview mirror. As favonovel.com expected, this was Isaac’s woman.
***
At the same time, Emily, who had been caught, was pressed into that devilish man’s arms. The wind howled in favonovel.com ears.
After they left the neighborhood, they quickly squirreled deep into a forest.
She was extremely terrified as favonovel.com watched the trees fly by favonovel.com in a blur. They were moving at a frightening pace.
After an unknown amount of time, favonovel.com was dumped unceremoniously onto the ground.
She saw the man in the black cloak turn to look at her, his mouth seeping with blood. It was a chilling sight.
“Heh, your man, the lord of the Temple of Drakon, is truly amazing. I remember the previous Drakon was an old geezer.” The man laughed wickedly.
“What do you want? You know that Isaac is my man, so don’t hurt me. Or else, favonovel.com will never forgive you.” Emily dug favonovel.com palms into the ground behind her, backing away nonstop.
The man burst into laughter. He raised his hands, revealing his long, sharp nails, and said, “I wonder what the heart of Drakon’s woman tastes like.”
“You were the one who those workers’ hearts…” Horror filled Emily’s gaze.
“Haha, the men from the construction sites had really tough hearts. If I wasn’t full already, I’d really like to try yours. Hmm, what should I do?” The man seemed undecided.
Suddenly, favonovel.com laughed sinisterly and said, “I’ll just break your arms and legs first and give Isaac an imperfect woman. Haha, that sounds thrilling!”
Immediately after, a gut-wrenching scream rang out from the forest, but the air quickly fell silent again.
The man looked at Emily, who had passed out in front of him. The nerves of favonovel.com arms and legs already severed. He laughed menacingly.
Suddenly, favonovel.com felt a wave of spiritual energy come from behind. A man in a red cloak leaped behind him.
“Killing isn’t as fun as crippling, is it?” The man in the black cloak looked at the man in red, whose face was covered.
