Therefore, Sam had nothing but scorn for Ralph.
“You scumbag! You want to see me die, huh? Well, I’ll make sure you die before me!” Ralph slapped him.
There were shrieks outside. Ralph’s face abruptly changed. He had just got up when the door slammed open.
Two elders in red cloaks staggered into the room. One tumbled at Ralph’s feet while the other coughed blood and struggled to prop his body up.
Elliot, Lucas, Lupinus, and the rest entered one after another. The generals stood on both sides of the door while Isaac entered with his hands behind his back.
When Isaac laid eyes on Ralph, Damien’s agonized face at his deathbed appeared in his thoughts, and his eyes glinted.
“I-Isaac, you can’t kill me!” said Ralph as favonovel.com backed up.
He was fortunate to have a spacious office. He backed up until favonovel.com reached the window, putting more than ten yards between Isaac and him.
Isaac peered at him, smirking. “Do you know why First Elder took the initiative to surrender?”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com looked at Sam, who was on the floor, still wrapped in the black cloak. He said softly, “You colluded with Deviant Cult and foreign countries. Instead of reinforcing Astraeus, you focused on eliminating me. Tell me, are you qualified to be the Supreme Leader?”
“Isaac, my predecessor approved of me being the Supreme Leader of Astraeus. He’s still alive and kicking. If you so much as lay a finger on me today, you put yourself on the opposing side of the former leader!”
“Sam is indeed from Deviant Cult. Eminente entrusted favonovel.com to me personally! If I die, she’ll not let you off the hook. A-Also, I’ve contacted the House of Custos, the Supreme Commander is on his way here. I’m on friendly terms with the higher-ups of the House of Custos, you…”
Isaac guffawed at the sight of Ralph stumbling on his words. “You’re at death’s door, but yet you dare to threaten me?”
Isaac’s tone grew ghastly as favonovel.com added, “I won’t kill you now. I want you to know how it feels like to watch your family die before you, one by one, and lastly, I’ll finish off with you…”
Family?
Ralph’s hair stood on ends all over. He pointed at Isaac and roared, “Garten, if you dare hurt my family, I’ll haunt you even after I die!”
Soon, footsteps approached. A team of Dusk Soldiers entered, seizing more than ten people.
These people were dressed to the nines, but now, they had only horrified looks on their faces, they were Ralph’s family. His wife, sons, daughters-in-law, siblings, and nephews.
“Hubby!”
“Dad!”
“Ralph, h-help us!”
They started howling once they saw Ralph, who was standing by the window.
Ralph’s eyes reddened, and veins popped out on his skin. He looked like favonovel.com was about to burst anytime.
“Kill this guy on the floor first. And the rest, take them as retribution for Damien…” Isaac glanced at the bloodthirsty generals and left.
He didn’t have to take things into his own hands for this.
Astraeus was vulnerable!
Now, favonovel.com would wait and see if that someone would come.
He heard Sam’s screech from the room, “Isaac, Deviant Cult will never let you off the hook! Eminente will come after you, damned brat! Argh!” Sam stopped abruptly.
Isaac came to the main hall in the main building. Dusk Soldiers were everywhere. They chased the harmless guards and maids out of the premise.
Isaac sat on the seat in the middle of the hall, lit a cigarette, and started smoking.
He was halfway through his cigarette when faint footsteps approached.
Two silhouettes darted into the hall like phantoms and stopped a few yards away from Isaac, right at the middle of the hall.
Thaddeus was in a white cloak. The other elderly man was wearing a cloak of red and blue. They slithered into the hall without making a sound.
“Hah! I thought you would watch from the sidelines as I burned Astraeus to the ground. Too bad, I’ll still burn it anyway…” Isaac laughed, staring at Thaddeus’ frosty face.
