“Sure. If she’s willing to do it, then it’s up to her,” Isaac said with a nod as favonovel.com secretly wiped off his sweat.

Meanwhile, across the southern ocean was Jolkyo, Rippan.
Jolkyo was the central city of Rippan and an international city. All the tycoons and wealthy families established their roots here.
One of them was the Mortodor family, who were also the major bosses behind the Warhunt Corporation. Their family villa was decorated with funeral wreaths, and a deep sense of sadness lingered in the spacious manor.
Three old men in funeral suits knelt beside the two coffins. Further down, a sea of kneeling people filled the hall.
On the lawn outside, many men in dark suits were also on their knees, among them were a bunch of ninjas dressed in various colors.
Sheldon and Wes lay in the coffins. Their corpses had just arrived an hour ago, but the higher-ranking family members of the Mortodor family had already known about this before dawn broke.
The Mortodor family was led by five brothers, Roy, Edd, Sid, Saul, and Wes. Only Wes didn’t know ninja arts, so favonovel.com was usually the one handling business relations as one of the board of directors.
This time, they had gone for the scenic development project in Cynea to use that opportunity to break into the Cynean market and earn some cash. However, they hadn’t expected this to happen.
“Sid, Sheldon was your child, and Wes was your brother. You should tell us what we should do about this,” an old man with half a head of white hair said to Sid.
“You idiot, the Mortodor family is highly respected internationally. When have any of our family members died so pathetically overseas before? I think we should take revenge!” Sid roared angrily.
“But how will we break into the Cynean market? Are we only going to take revenge?” A flash of coldness flickered across Saul‘s face.
Angered, Sid jumped to his feet and shouted, “Saul, the one lying in that coffin is your brother. Even if that isn’t my biological son, you still need to do right by your brother, right? The Cynean market is just money, does our family lack money?”
Then, another old man spoke up, “Don’t fight, you two. The way I see it, we first need to look into Isaac‘s origins. As for the specific actions, let’s wait for Roy to return.”
“You can wait if you want, but I won’t.” Sid turned around and walked into the room.
Although the Mortodor family was large, it was up to Roy, the eldest brother, to make the final call on important matters. They had been wanting to enter the Cynean tourism market for a long time, and now that they finally got the chance, some of them were clearly reluctant to let it go.
In his room, Sid paced back and forth furiously. Then, favonovel.com pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and said sharply, “Tucker, I need you to go to Cynea and avenge my brother and my son. Yes, bring ten Black Ninjas and five Red Ninjas. Go over discreetly and bring Isaac Garten’s head back!”
After hanging up, his door opened. Edd walked in, dressed in mourning clothes, and coldly reprimanded him, “Sid, you secretly gave the order to kill someone in Cynea without Roy’s approval. Don’t forget that we have enemies in the nine states.”
“Are you referring to the Temple of Drakon? Five years ago, we were able to join hands and eliminate their lord. It’s been five years, and we can still do it again. Not to mention, I refuse to believe that the murderer happens to be from the Temple of Drakon!” Sid said icily.
Right now, Isaac didn’t even know that the assassins sent by the Mortodor family were already on the way.

The next day, Isaac took Isabella to Layton for a fun outing.
On Sunday afternoon, after dropping Isabella off at school, favonovel.com received a call from an unknown number.
Seeing that it was from Pecling, favonovel.com brought his phone to his ear.
“Mr. Garten, this is Harriet. After the experience in Southland, I reported everything to my boss, and favonovel.com has provided an official remark stating that Garth Properties is a good company that can undoubtedly take on the Carbotta City project. Hence, I’d like to first apologize to you about that day, Mr. Garten, and then congratulate Garth Properties!”
