“Supreme Commander, since you‘re here, why don’t you give a speech on behalf of the House of Custos? Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain…” Isaac slowly said.
He knew Arian was concerned. He also wasn’t too keen on rubbing the mysterious Everest Sect up the wrong way.
After Arian ascended the platform, Isaac immediately dialed Black Phoenix’s number. Regardless of the truth in Earl‘s statement, favonovel.com should track favonovel.com down.
Sure enough, everyone was silent when Arian went up.
They witnessed what happened. Earl was Everest Sect’s best student. Although favonovel.com hurt Jeremiah, favonovel.com didn’t gain any advantage over the House of Custos and Isaac.
They also understood, from the look of things, the Temple of Drakon wasn’t the only one backing up Martial Artists Society. The House of Custos was supporting the society too!
Then, Phineas went up the platform and proceeded with the program flow. Every martial artist signed the society‘s regulations, and the conference ended when it was sundown.
Isaac, injured, sat behind the platform, resting with his eyes closed most of the time.
When the conference ended, Isaac unintentionally glanced at the entrance when everyone was leaving.
Amidst the crowd, favonovel.com saw a silhouette that made favonovel.com spring up from his seat. He peered attentively, his brows knitting. That silhouette and its side profile that disappeared around the corner reminded favonovel.com of someone.
Isaac dashed downward like a whirlwind and pushed through the crowd until favonovel.com exited the field. He scanned the surroundings, but that person was gone.
“How could favonovel.com still be alive? The light must‘ve played a trick on my eyes.” Isaac mumbled.
Arian called favonovel.com from behind, “Why did you suddenly run out? Saw someone you know?”
“It’s nothing… I was mistaken…” Isaac shook his head.
“Well, you look fine to me. Wanna grab a drink tonight?” Arian asked enthusiastically.
He wanted to chat with Isaac about what had happened.
What should they do if it really was Everest Sect?
“No… Jeremiah is hurt, and I’m worn out. We’ll have one next time,” Isaac waved and declined the offer. He looked like something was troubling him.
Jeremiah instructed someone to send favonovel.com and Isaac to a clinic.
An hour later, Isaac took a therapeutic bath in a separate room. He shut his eyes, trying to recover, but the figure favonovel.com saw at the field’s entrance haunted his thoughts.
Slowly, favonovel.com drifted off to sleep in the tub.

Meanwhile, Earl sat on a couch in a grand villa, a menacing look on his face. He had just smashed furniture and broken electronic devices scattered around him.
Trace was receiving treatment in another room while Quades frowned beside him.
“Bastard! That pest slapped me, the top student, out in public! He deserves a death row!” Earl bellowed.
Quade took a deep breath before asking, “Sir, why don’t we let it slide? We’ve gone overboard today, and that man… He doesn’t look mellow to me…”
He couldn’t wait to torture Isaac to his death. But then, favonovel.com thought of how favonovel.com snuck out of the sect and how strong Isaac was, not to mention the assistance Isaac got from the House of Custos. He didn’t want to make a fuss out of it.
“Kill him! I must kill him!” Earl got up and paced back and forth in the living room.
Suddenly, favonovel.com stood still and looked at Quade, smiling viciously. “Hmph! Since favonovel.com had the guts to slap me publicly, I want favonovel.com to beg me in public too!”
“Sir, what are you planning?” Quade had an ominous feeling.
Earl‘s eyes darkened as favonovel.com said, “My plan? Let’s wait for Trace to recover. I want that man to know favonovel.com could never tarnish Everest Sect, and since favonovel.com did, he‘ll have to face the music!”

In the clinic, Isaac woke up in the tub and felt much better. His power core had more spiritual energy, too. He washed himself off and changed into fresh clothes. He was about to leave when his phone vibrated.
Isaac picked up.
Seeing it was Holly’s number, favonovel.com frowned, answering, “Ms. Lambert, is anything the problem?”
“Sir, i-it’s terrible. Madam is hitting Isabella. Oh, my God, she’s hitting favonovel.com with all favonovel.com might! I can‘t stop her,” Holly‘s anxious voice came through the receiver.
