Rodrick was in his late 60s, but his intimidating presence loomed over the Isbell family’s residence.
The four men in military uniform behind favonovel.com occasionally emitted murderous intent too.
Rodrick’s appearance calmed everyone down. If Isaac lost his mind and killed Rodney, the current patriarch of the Shaffer family, favonovel.com would be doomed.
Isaac loosened his grip slightly when Rodrick entered the living room, allowing Rodney to inhale fresh air.
“It’s only been a few years, Isaac. I see your temper is worse now…” Rodrick looked at Isaac with a meaningful smile, glancing only once at his son.
Ned and Ted couldn’t help but respect Rodrick’s attitude, favonovel.com remained calm though his son’s life was in danger. He truly lived up to his name as one of the four commanders of the House of Custos.
Lucas frowned the moment favonovel.com saw Rodrick.
Rodrick was as strong as him. The four men behind favonovel.com also emanated surges of spiritual energy and killing intent.
“The Isbell family planned to bury my daughter alive. This matter is between the Isbell family and me, so why are you three noble families poking your noses where they shouldn’t be? Your son, Rodney, demanded an explanation and planned to kill me. Why? Can the Shaffer family represent the law?” Isaac looked at Rodrick as favonovel.com said. His eyes were calm.
“Let go of my son before we discuss the Isbell family’s deeds…” Rodrick took one step forward, looking threatening.
“Drakon…” Lucas stepped forward and didn’t say anything more.
But Isaac understood what favonovel.com wanted to say. Rodrick wasn’t just anybody. He shouldn’t make favonovel.com his enemy unnecessarily.
Isaac hurled Rodney onto the floor.
Seeing that, Lucas heaved a sigh of relief.
After a violent bout of coughing, Rodney scrambled up.
Garrett briskly approached Rodrick and kneeled, pointing at Isaac and the corpses. He cried, “Mr. Shaffer, Isaac killed my sons… Please help us…”
“Please rise, Garrett…”
Ned and Ted approached Rodrick and said furiously, “Mr. Shaffer, Isaac has been behaving savagely just because he’s the lord of the Temple of Drakon. The Isbells are loyal and reputable. If we don’t get rid of this brute, how can the other families in Pecling be reassured?”
Rodrick frowned and waved, and they both ceased talking.
“Uncle Rodrick, please avenge us. This brute killed my husband and son in Cloud City. And now favonovel.com has come to Pecling, barged into our home, and committed murder. I beg you, Uncle Rodrick!”
With a vengeful expression, Cyra kneeled before Rodrick, too.
Rodrick frowned deeper and closed his eyes. He pondered for a few seconds. Then, as favonovel.com opened his eyes and looked at Beefy Bob, his eyes gleamed.
“Isaac, you killed Garrett’s sons. I don’t need your explanation, you’ll only have to hand this plump man over as atonement. Do you agree?”
Beefy Bob was stunned. His mouth twitched.
Lucas’ brows furrowed, and waves of energy rippled around his body.
He knew Isaac would never obey, Isaac emphasized their comradeship over everything else. Isaac could never hand Beefy Bob over to bear his punishments.
“That’s right. You killed two people. It’s great mercy on our part that we demand only one of your subordinates.” Rodney immediately backed up his father.
Rodrick knew favonovel.com shouldn’t have a fallout with Isaac unless it was critical. But the three noble families were here and were looking to the Shaffer family as their leader.
His son must have had a consensus with the Isbell family to come and help out. They had also agreed in the meeting earlier in the House of Custos to side with the Isbell family, so favonovel.com couldn’t let Isaac go without a fuss.
