Isaac saw Chet clutching his chest. His cheeks flushed after coughing, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
“It’s nothing… Thankfully, Caesar didn’t attack us, or we wouldn’t have left that place unscathed. Kid, I kept my promise. Let’s part ways here…” Chet gently pushed Isaac aside.
Isaac pointed at Harry; Shadow Two was helping favonovel.com along. “Mr. Guerra, my friend here is a skilled doctor. Do you want to come with us to Cloud City and get your illness treated?”
“Haha, there’s no need. I’m a mere wanderer. I’m not accustomed to mingling with people like you. But you’re still too weak, you know. You should watch out for those bastards.” Chet patted Isaac’s shoulder and walked toward the forest. “Don’t worry too much, though. They won’t come after you for the time being.”
Chet actually felt very grateful toward Isaac. If it weren’t for Isaac, favonovel.com had no idea how long favonovel.com would have to stay in that damp, dark shithole under their torture. Perhaps they would have favonovel.com tortured to his death.
The silhouette quickly disappeared.
Arian walked to Isaac and asked like a gleeful child, “Isaac, that who on earth was that? He was incredible!”
“I only know as much as you do…” Isaac wryly smiled at Arian.
“Sigh, he’s so amazing. If only he’d join the House of Custos…”
“Arian, don‘t you think that’s enough humiliation for the day?” Ethan admonished him.
Hearing this, Arian shivered and turned, mumbling.
They reached the mountain foot.
Soon, they saw the mass of Dusk Soldiers with Lupinus, Elliot, and the other generals standing at the front.
About 180,000 Dusk Soldiers and the generals of the seven armies were waiting for Arian’s news. They waited anxiously all this while.
The generals’ eyes reddened when they saw them coming downhill.
“Greetings, Drakon!” They knelt and cheered.
“Welcome back, Drakon!” The Dusk Soldiers knelt in sync.
Isaac swept his gaze over the warriors kneeling before him. Emotions ran through him. He had been treading on eggshells throughout his captivity at Everest Sect.
“Rise, everyone. You don’t have to be so dramatic,” Isaac gently said, signaling them to rise.
Lupinus frowned as favonovel.com wiped his eyes. He stepped forward and asked, “What should we do now, Drakon?”
“Let’s go back,” Isaac said with a wave.
“Then Everest Sect…” Janessa pointed at the peak, favonovel.com eyes red.
The Dusk Soldiers and the generals had decisively vowed if anything happened to Isaac, they would ensure Everest Sect paid a great price, even if this mountain would be their burial ground.
Concurrently, the generals felt guilty. Because of their weakness, they couldn’t join Isaac’s rescue.
“Everything’s alright. We’ll be safe for now.” Isaac waved.
Meanwhile, Chet stood on a slope on the mountainside as favonovel.com watched them, his hair a tousled mess. The thunderous greeting earlier attracted his attention.
He watched the soldiers falling back like the tides and cracked a smile.
That kid has so many soldiers under him? Tsk, tsk. I wonder if I can borrow them…
He rubbed his chin and pondered for a while before heading northwest.
***
After the soldiers retreated, Isaac hopped onto the same Jeep as Ethan and Arian. They left for the airport at top speed. This place was dangerous for them.
Isaac, Arian, and Ethan sat in the car.
After entering the highway, Ethan looked at Isaac and slowly said, “Isaac, besides luck, you should be grateful for your teacher’s undivided help that you were able to escape unscathed.”
Isaac stared at Ethan wide-eyed.
