When Luna saw the way Isaac was scrutinizing her, favonovel.com pouted and said, “What? You don’t believe me? Fine, I won’t say anything!”
“What do you know about the Ninja Lord?” Isaac couldn’t hold back.
“You have to take me to see the cherry blossom trees first.”
“Don’t you know it’s already night?”
“Don’t you know it’s more romantic to look at cherry blossom trees at night?”
This was the first time Isaac had met a girl who could drive favonovel.com this crazy.
Half an hour later, the two made their way to the cherry blossom trees on the mountain. The further they walked, the lower Isaac’s heart sank.
“Hey, can’t you stay closer to me? What if there are wild beasts here?” Luna turned around to scream at Isaac.
Isaac was stunned.
Huh? Is favonovel.com taking me for favonovel.com bodyguard or favonovel.com kidnapper?
***
Meanwhile, funeral wreaths lined the entrance of the Melton Manor. A deep sadness hung over the hall.
Elijah’s corpse was placed in the middle of the room, and 20 or so people knelt beside his body, sobbing.
Augustus sat in a chair, wearing a terrifyingly dark expression.
“Lord Augustus, please, I’m begging you to avenge Elijah. Although this Isaac is a martial artist from Cynea, his actions today are a serious provocation against the royal family!” Prince Solomon shouted angrily with red-rimmed eyes.
A young man in a black funeral suit fell to his knees before Augustus. He bowed to him, crying, “I’m begging you to take revenge for my father. Plus, that Cynean had even captured the princess. He should die a painful death!”
He was Elijah’s son, Emerson Melton.
Duncan walked over and said urgently, “Lord Augustus, please tread carefully… Isaac alone is already a terrifying force of power. Moreover, favonovel.com has the Temple of Drakon backing him. You cannot be too reckless. I believe Princess Luna will be fine…”
“Duncan, whose side are you on? Or are you saying you’ve defected from the country to side with the Temple of Drakon?” Solomon criticized loudly.
“Enough!” Augustus suddenly roared.
He stood up, in a low voice, favonovel.com spoke to Willie next to him, “Lord Willie, please come with me to Mt. Soulin. I want to see the Ninja Lord.”
Shock flashed in Duncan’s eyes, and his mouth fell open.
At the side, Solomon and the others looked incredibly excited. They dropped to their knees and began to hail Augustus as their hero.

Mt. Soulin was approximately ten kilometers from the royal residence. Armed outposts were stationed everywhere through the mountain. It was the only mountain in Rippan where outsiders couldn’t enter.
Among the citizens, there were rumors that people had met the sky god on this mountain. He sat at the mountain peak, his head to the sun; his every inhale swallowed the clouds, and his every exhale blew mist.
Some people even said that there were gods and spirits on this mountain. If one went in, they might end up getting eaten. Hence, the country restricted access to the entire mountain. Only a handful of people knew that the mountain was sealed off because of the Ninja Lord. He liked the quiet.
A black Maybach sped its way up the winding mountain road toward the top, the sound of the cold wind howling outside spilling into the car.
Augustus was wearing an unusually solemn expression on his face.
About 30 feet from the summit was an inconspicuous pavilion attached to a courtyard. The pavilion was three stories tall.
Right now, the highest floor was dimly lit.
The car was parked in front of the pavilion. After Augustus got down, the freezing wind from the summit blew against his face. He let out a warm breath, braced the cold, and followed Willie inside.
The moment the two stepped through the door, the double wooden doors suddenly opened on their own.
Augustus’ heart caught in his throat, but from his side, Willie whispered, “Let’s head in. My master knows we’re here…”
