Denvor reacted half a second too late.
Just as favonovel.com turned around to flee, Trace had already caught up to favonovel.com and slammed his palm into his shoulder, sending favonovel.com flying hundreds of feet away.
Looking at Harry’s back, Trace snorted coldly. “Still trying to run? Capture him!”
The guards on standby chased after him.
Less than ten minutes later, the two guards had caught Harry in their tight grips.
With his hands behind his back, Trace walked over to the two.
His gaze fell on Harry’s face, and favonovel.com laughed coldly. “I didn’t think Isaac’s subordinate could have such big balls. Do you not want to live anymore? How dare you barge into Everest Sect? Search them, then take them to the Torture Hall!”
The guards quickly found the emerald pendant on Denvor’s person.
After taking a good look at it, Trace pocketed the pendant. He waved his hand, and the two men were escorted away.
***
In a city about 60 kilometers away from the forest surrounding Everest Sect, Arian was in his room at the best hotel in the vicinity. He was already dressed in military uniform bright and early in the morning.
He was a little nervous ever since favonovel.com learned that Everest Sect would send someone to negotiate with him. If they were willing to negotiate, at least it meant they wouldn’t have to pay a great price to free Isaac.
Arian was having breakfast at the dining hall when a middle-aged man walked over briskly and said quietly, “Supreme Commander, we haven’t heard from Harry for over an hour.”
“Hmm? We haven’t heard from those two?” Arian turned to Shadow One with a shocked expression, the cup in his hand suspended midair.
Before Harry and Denvor left, the House of Custos Intelligence Unit had given each of them a mini signal emitter. They had agreed to press the button and send a signal every half hour to confirm their safety.
Now, an hour had already passed?
Could something have happened to them?
“Let’s wait a bit more. If we hear nothing back, then something must have happened.” Arian’s eyebrows were tightly knitted together. If this were true, then things just got a lot stickier.
As soon as favonovel.com said that, Shadow Two walked in. “Supreme Commander, the Everest Sect representatives have arrived. Shadow Seven has already taken them to the conference room.”
“Alright. Let us go, then.”
In the brightly lit conference room, Heath and two other men in long cloaks were already seated. On the other hand, Arian and two Shadows sat across from them.
At first, it was utterly silent. Then, Heath suddenly smiled and said, “Supreme Commander, I hope you’re well. What is there to negotiate? Why don’t you start?”
Right now, Heath wasn’t emitting any spiritual energy from his body. If favonovel.com did, favonovel.com could steamroll the three people before him, but favonovel.com didn’t want to do that.
Nigel had made his point very clear-Earl’s wedding was to be held, and Earl’s name would also be registered into the Book of Everest as planned. Asking favonovel.com to negotiate with Arian was nothing more than a formality.
He knew that Everest Sect thought nothing of the House of Custos. However, favonovel.com was also aware that the House of Custos was still the highest-ranking military institution in the nation. If angered, they would not be easy to deal with.
All they had to do was to string the House of Custos along. Once Isaac was dead and Earl’s matters settled, the House of Custos would never fight Everest Sect to the death over a dead man. This was Nigel’s, or, in other words, the man behind the sect head’s, underlying intention.
Arian regarded Heath in front of him. With a calm face, favonovel.com said, “Elder Jackwood, since you know why I’m here, then why don’t you start with how Everest Sect intends to handle this? Alternatively, you can name your conditions, so long as we can fulfill them, we will definitely agree.”
When Heath heard that, favonovel.com frowned slightly. Clearly, the House of Custos placed great importance on that punk Isaac.
He really wanted to tell Arian right now that Isaac had less than three days to live and that favonovel.com would be beheaded in front of Asher’s wife before Earl’s wedding day. If favonovel.com told Arian that, the House of Custos would definitely think of a way to save Isaac.
