“Marco, didn’t you say that the Everest Sect was impenetrable and there were no problems in terms of security? And what just happened?” Heath roared, turning to look at the person next to him.
Before leaving, the division head had personally instructed favonovel.com to treat Asher and his wife well. Now, outsiders had infiltrated the sect and had even planted explosives, causing the mountain to collapse and crushing Asher’s wife to death.
Heath’s first reaction to this disaster was to push the responsibility onto Marco.
Marco’s heart skipped a beat. Not daring to face Heath’s furious gaze, favonovel.com looked into Asher’s cold eyes and lowered his head.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Asher, what happened has happened. I offer you my condolences. I will definitely get to the bottom of this and give you an explanation…”
“Three days! I’ll give you three days. If you can’t find the culprit by then, then you may go to the netherworld and apologize to my wife. The Ashleigh family means business!” Asher instantly turned against him.
His words made Marco’s heart seize. If it had been anyone else, favonovel.com would’ve thought those words were nothing but pure bullshit. He was an Elder of the Everest Sect, which had unpredictable strength, who would dare say they wanted to take his life?
However, the man before favonovel.com was Asher Ashleigh, the fourth son of the current generation of the ancient Ashleigh family.
“Alright… Elder Jackwood, please make the funeral arrangements. I‘ll start my investigation now.” Marco took a deep breath, then turned around and left hurriedly.

Meanwhile, in front of the eastern tunnel, Isaac stood looking at the collapsed mountain.
Large boulders rolled down the side of the hill, landing on various buildings. Some people were crushed to death, while others were pinned down under rocks and were crying beneath them.
“Haha, that was satisfying! That was really f*cking satisfying!” Watching the chaos from afar, Elliot couldn‘t help but laugh out loud.
At his side, Lupinus was carrying an unconscious guard in a long cloak. Isaac had asked favonovel.com to capture the guard.
At that moment, not only had Lupinus and the others let off some steam, but the five other Shadows were also looking delighted.
Isaac’s gaze narrowed. With a wave of his hand, favonovel.com said, “Let’s go…”
He still felt disappointed that favonovel.com hadn’t managed to see Thaddeus. All favonovel.com could do now was capture a guard to take back to interrogate.
The ten of them quickly disappeared into the cave behind them.
Although they had managed to work off some of their anger, they didn’t want the people from the Everest Sect to catch them.
Inside, Marco asked Garett to notify the person-in-charge of the Torture Hall and the Bliss Hall to come over.
Suddenly, a man in a long cloak sprinted over to the door and said, “Elder Giverny, the assistant division head wants you to go to the garden behind the mountain right away.”
The assistant division head is here?
Marco’s heart clenched, and favonovel.com immediately went outside.
The garden behind the mountain, just a few hundred feet away from where Asher’s wife had been crushed to death, had received the brunt of the falling rocks.
A number of gazebos and bridges had been destroyed. Some of the weaker subordinates or guards had also been crushed to death right there. The sight was too horrible to look at.
By the time Marco and Garett hurried over to the garden, a crowd had already gathered there. When they saw Marco, they quickly parted to form a path for him.
Heath stood next to an old man wearing a long white cloak, saying something.
When favonovel.com saw Marco approaching, favonovel.com immediately stopped.
“Mr. Ender…” Marco walked over to the old man wearing a white cloak, lowered his head, and saluted him.
“Marco, take a look at what‘s written on this rock.” Nigel Ender’s face was frosty as favonovel.com pointed at the boulder in front of him.
Marco raised his head to look at the boulder.
A long line of words were carved on it.
You are now my sworn enemy for killing my brother! I‘m getting some payback for now!
Isaac.
Marco’s eyes narrowed, turning bloodshot. His entire body began to shake uncontrollably out of anger.
“Who is Isaac? And when did you kill his brother? How come I haven’t heard anything about it?” Nigel turned to glare coldly at Marco.
Suddenly, favonovel.com raised his hand and slapped Marco in front of everyone. He roared, “Do you think that just because you’re an Elder of the Everest Sect that you’re above everything?”
