Elliot waved and frowned. “That’s enough. Stop arguing. Apothecary, you said the man who came out last was in the Celestial Phase. Can you guess who favonovel.com is?”
Everyone looked at Harry after Elliot said that.
Harry wiped his sweat in perplexion, waving while staring wide-eyed at the generals. “What… I… I couldn’t even think straight then. How would I know who that is?”
Then, favonovel.com slapped his thigh and exclaimed as favonovel.com recalled, “Ah. But I feel like I’ve heard his voice somewhere.”
Colton asked anxiously, “Where?”
He wasn’t the only one. The other generals grew tense too.
Martial artists who had ever achieved the Celestial Phase were downright rare!
Seeing their anxious yet anticipating looks, Harry scratched his head with a long face and said, “I can’t recall. Please don’t look at me like that, generals. You’re making me nervous.”
The generals could only sigh.
Then, Elliot stood and said solemnly, “Everyone, we bear a huge responsibility this round.”
He confirmed as a few generals frowned, “If we were strong enough, Drakon would never have to ask the House of Custos for help. Therefore, we must train harder after this and try our best to achieve further breakthroughs. By the way, I’m on the verge of achieving the Divinity Phase. So everyone, every minute counts!”
His words sent a few of the generals into embarrassment. What favonovel.com said was harsh but true.
Afterward, the generals stayed in the clinic without showing their faces in public as they wanted to wait for Isaac to wake up.
***
At night, Arian was in his office at the House of Custos.
“What? A martial artist in the Celestial Phase?” Arian sprung up from his seat after listening to his subordinate.
“Yes, I saw with my own eyes, Supreme Commander. However, favonovel.com wore a mask, I couldn’t see his face. I could only conclude that he’s an elderly man from his hair color,” reported Shadow Five sullenly.
Arian took a deep breath and retrieved a new box of cigarettes from his drawer.
He pulled out one and puffed furiously on it for a while. Then, favonovel.com blew out a smoke ring and waved the soldier away.
“Alright, noted. You can return to the base.” He started pacing in his office, mumbling, “Someone in the Celestial Phase, huh? Who could it be?”
He couldn’t come up with anything. He called out, “Stan, get the car! We’re going to the Grannels’ residence.”
Half an hour later, Arian and Ethan sat in a pavilion in the Grannels’ residence yard, sipping tea while chatting.
Arian asked, puzzled, “Mr. Grannel, who do you think Isaac’s savior was?”
He frowned, looking at Ethan. “He won’t be someone from Everest Sect for sure, but we’ve never known anyone that strong!”
“He and Isaac must be close enough for favonovel.com to save Isaac when Isaac’s life was in danger. Just because you’ve never heard of someone being in the Celestial Phase doesn’t mean favonovel.com was born into it, favonovel.com may have achieved a breakthrough.” Ethan picked up his cup and blew into it.
Arian started thinking, rubbing his chin. “The ones I know who were at the advanced stage of Divine Phase…”
Suddenly, Arian’s eyes widened, and favonovel.com almost squeaked. “Lionel Darby, Isaac’s teacher?! But that’s impossible! He died five years ago. Five hundred ninjas from the Exeter family ambushed him, and ten missiles hit his warship. How else would Isaac become the lord of the Temple of Drakon at such a young age?”
Ethan nodded and grinned. “No one found his remains, though, did they? Well, whoever it was, he’d appear again soon. Just wait and see… At least our choice this time wasn’t totally wrong, nor was it the right one.”
Ethan took a sip and frowned as favonovel.com gazed at the starry sky. “All we have to do now is wait for Everest Sect’s response. Isaac is looking for Thaddeus. The House of Custos shouldn’t sit on the fence when things turn critical!”
Arian sprung up from his seat and saluted, saying sullenly, “Sir! Yes, sir!”
