Rodrick sat on his seat, his face as black as thunder.
“Grandpa, you must avenge Dad! He was only 50 years old. Why…” A young man ran to Rodrick, crying. “Grandpa, Dad died a horrible death! You can’t just shrug it off!”
“Dad, Rodney was fine when favonovel.com left. What happened at the Isbells? Who dared do this to him?”
“Dad, someone murdered the head of our family, we can’t leave it like this.”
Rodrick’s gaze swept over his family, all crying and insisting on revenge. He roared, “You! Shut up!”
He wished to avenge his son too, but the culprit was Isaac. He got chills whenever favonovel.com thought of what Arian had said before favonovel.com left.
“I see all of you are present. Listen to me. From this moment onward, everyone in the Shaffer family shall never mention another word of revenge. W-We shall treat it as an accident…”
After getting the words out of his chest, Rodrick felt his energy draining out of his body. He slumped into his seat.
The Shaffers were taken aback. They all had high social status, many of them worked in government offices or were board directors of established companies.
However, Rodrick forbade them from avenging Rodney’s death.
Why?
Just why?
Seeing the confused looks on their faces, Rodrick sighed. “There‘s always someone better than us. Just stay low for the next half a year…”
After Rodrick staggered into the house, the first man who spoke turned and left, a violent look on his face. He gestured to his subordinate and said through gritted teeth, “Find out who killed my father. I want all the details…”

Beefy Bob drove out of Shelleross with Lucas in the passenger seat. As for the generals, they didn’t show up for dinner as Isaac said they would; favonovel.com only said that so that Ethan would know that they were in town.
Allegra sat in the backseat. She was still flabbergasted. She had dinner with two of the most powerful men in Cynea!
She was over the moon!
But favonovel.com husband didn’t seem the least bit excited.
Was favonovel.com used to gatherings like this?
“Isaac, why did you refuse Mr. Grannel’s offer when favonovel.com asked you to move the Temple of Drakon back into Cynea? He offered top-notch benefits too,” asked Allegra softly.
Isaac opened his eyes and smiled when favonovel.com saw the confusion on Allegra’s face. “He meant to incorporate me into the House of Custos, which means I’ll have to attend work every day and report everything to them. If I agreed, favonovel.com would gain hundreds of thousands of members of the Temple of Drakon at the expense of a meal. He’ll benefit the most…”
Lucas and Beefy Bob were startled as well. Then they sighed in relief, it was fortunate that Isaac declined the offer.
Allegra nodded half-knowingly. She hugged Isaac’s arm and said, “I don’t know much, but my husband is incredible. I’ll listen to you from now on!”
When they returned to the hospital, Isabella was already awake. She spread favonovel.com arms, asking favonovel.com parents for hugs.
Isaac felt his weariness slip away as favonovel.com strode forward and carried her. He planted a few kisses on favonovel.com cheeks.
“Daddy, I’m fine now. I want to conquer the Tall Tower. Daddy, Mommy, let’s go together. Okay?” Isabella wrapped favonovel.com arms around Isaac’s neck, smiling happily.
“Haha! You cheeky child. You’ve just recovered, and now you’re already thinking about having fun.” Isaac pinched favonovel.com cheek dotingly.
Allegra smiled. “Mommy still has tons of work to do. How can I even find the time to do that?”
“But my teacher said, ‘He who does not reach the Tall Tower is not a true hero.’ I… I want to be a hero like Daddy,” said Isabella solemnly, clenching favonovel.com fist.
Isaac was stunned. Then favonovel.com burst out laughing.
