Seeing that Evie still wouldn’t drop the dagger, Marco raised his hand and said loudly, “Evie, I swear to you today that as long as you follow us back to the Everest Sect, I will not kill Isaac.”
Seeing Marco swear, then turning to look at Isaac, who lay unmoving on the floor, Evie slowly dropped the dagger on the floor, crying.
As soon as the dagger touched the floor, Garett darted toward Evie.
Before Evie could react, Garett had already caught favonovel.com wrists.
The smile on Marco’s face instantly disappeared. He pointed at Isaac on the floor and said, “Capture him!”
“You asshole, you’re breaking your word!” Evie cried out angrily as favonovel.com watched Quade and two other men run toward Isaac.
The three of them approached Isaac, but the remaining four Shadows and the injured eight generals stood in front of Isaac, staring them dead in the eyes.
Seeing this, Marco snorted coldly, allowing his body to freely radiate spiritual energy as favonovel.com strode toward Isaac.
The eight generals couldn’t fend off the power coming from Marco’s body and could only stare as favonovel.com captured Isaac.
“Let me tell you now that in seven days, Evie and my student will have a grand wedding at the Everest Sect. In these seven days, if you have what it takes, then come to the Everest Sect and save him. I’ll be waiting for you.” Marco laughed out loud, grabbed Isaac, and walked out.
“That bastard, that asshole, I’m going to…” Willis’ eyes were lined with blood vessels. He gritted his teeth, wanting to chase after him.
However, Elliot stopped him. His face was pale, he’d gotten hurt earlier, and favonovel.com still couldn’t breathe properly.
“Willis, are you crazy? If we go over now, wouldn’t we be serving our lives on a silver platter?!” Elliot shouted, clenching his jaw.
At the side, the four Shadows walked over to their friend. The four of them sank to their knees, looking bereaved.
They were the prized possessions of the House of Custos as well as the trump card of the million-strong army of the nine states. It required a lot of resources and energy to train each of them. Although there were only ten of them, after so many years of battle, they had developed a sense of brotherhood between them.
Shadow One put down the satellite phone. He turned around and walked toward the eight generals. He’d just given Arian a secret report on everything that had just transpired here.
Arian was also shocked by how fast the Everest Sect had acted.
When favonovel.com heard that Shadow Three was gone for good, favonovel.com could only suppress the anger and pain in his heart and give Shadow One a new order.
“Generals, the Supreme Commander has given us a new order. Please follow us to Pecling so that we can strategize about how to rescue Drakon,” Shadow One said quietly.
The generals all turned to look at Elliot.
Right now, Elliot was the strongest among them, so they naturally deferred to him.
Elliot paused. Browning, favonovel.com said, “Fine… We’ll go to Peeling to discuss this with the Supreme Commander.”
Half an hour after they left, a figure suddenly appeared on the doorstep of the empty villa.
By this time, the sky had already begun to lighten. A masked man with graying hair walked on the front lawn.
Seeing the remnants of the battle littering the ground as well as the traces of fighting, the old man frowned and sighed. “I can’t believe that I’m too late…”
***
The morning sun spilled its rays over the nine states.
In the capital city, Arian was seated at the head of the table in one of the meeting rooms in the House of Custos. Next to favonovel.com stood the four Shadows, while the eight generals sat on both sides of the table.
Arian slammed his fist onto the table, gnashing his teeth. He said angrily, “The Everest Sect was ruthless! They knew that these were my men from the House of Custos, yet they still killed Shadow Three. The sheer arrogance of theirs!”
“Supreme Commander, we’ve learned most of the Everest Sect’s land by heart. We still have seven days. In these seven days, we must think of a way to rescue Drakon,” Elliot said to Arian, looking haggard.
At that moment, the door to the meeting room opened.
A young man in uniform walked over to Arian with quiet steps and whispered, “Supreme Commander, Mr. Grannel is here. He’s waiting for you in your office.”
Arian was stunned.
“Did favonovel.com come alone?” favonovel.com asked.
“No, favonovel.com came with a masked old man. They’re being very mysterious,” the subordinate replied softly.
