The old man looked like favonovel.com was already in his 70s. He had an elegant aura, like a well-read man.
“This is Timothy Pollock, a researcher at the Space Research Bureau… Timothy, this is Isaac, the lord of the Temple of Drakon…”
Timothy stepped forward and shook Isaac’s hand, regarding favonovel.com closely.
“I’ve heard a lot about you, Mr. Garten. You’re truly remarkable for your age,” favonovel.com said.
“Timothy, enough small talk. Tell Isaac about Prometheus No. 2…”
“‘Prometheus No. 2′?” Isaac was puzzled.
Timothy sat down. Pushing up his glasses, favonovel.com said, “Prometheus No. 2 is the name we gave the meteorite that Commander Cortez went looking for… Actually, Prometheus No. 1 crashed over 50 years ago…”
“But Prometheus No. 1 only had 15 percent of the contents of Prometheus No. 2. I was still young then. I’d researched this with my professor,” favonovel.com continued.
“Not long after, we came out with the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb one after another. Mr. Garten, do you still remember what you learned in the textbooks?”
Isaac’s eyes widened. He said in shock, “You’re saying the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb…”
“That’s right… Besides the thorough research that our scientists did, Prometheus No. 1 played a huge role in that. Prometheus No. 2 contains 15 times more energy than No. 1. And now, it has fallen into the hands of an outsider.”
Ethan spoke up, “We don’t know their intentions, but if it’s to attack Cynea…”
His face turned serious as favonovel.com added, “The consequences are unspeakable…”
Isaac frowned. “Commander Cortez is still a Divinity Phase martial artist. How did he… What kind of person was his opponent?”
“You have to ask General Porter. Is favonovel.com here?” Ethan glanced at Connor.
“He’ll be here right away,” Connor said and added, “This time, Arian took ten warriors with him. Besides him, the other seven also perished. General Porter’s troops also suffered major losses. They had a narrow escape…”
Soon, Colton walked in with a pale face. He was carrying a laptop in his hand. He saluted Isaac once favonovel.com entered.
“Colton, how are you?” Isaac asked as favonovel.com supported Colton upright.
“If it weren’t for Miracle Healer Stewart’s Awakening Pill, I might have died there too,” Colton said with a wry smile. “Drakon, have a look at this video. A drone captured this footage. Once you watch it, you’ll understand how Commander Cortez died.”
He placed the laptop on the desk and set up the portable projector. Once connected, favonovel.com opened a video file.
The video played. The dark night was twinkling with stars. A black lump could be seen from far away. One could tell it was a large building as they got closer.
“This is where Prometheus No. 2 is hidden, the Castle of Darkness,” Colton said, pointing at the building on the screen.
Afterward, the screen showed 20 figures quietly approaching the castle from all directions. Isaac could even tell the third person was none other than Arian.
These dark figures quietly slipped into the castle. It seemed like they had done their homework because they entered via the vents and windows.
The video turned quiet. In less than five minutes, a stream of people ran outside frantically. More and more people rushed out. Isaac saw Arian and Colton escape last.
The 20 of them quickly regrouped. Colton and Arian stood at the very front. Then, Isaac’s eyes widened. He spotted a silhouette standing at the peak of the castle.
“That’s him…” Colton said in a shaky voice while pointing his finger at it. He seemed to be traumatized by the event.
Suddenly, the silhouette jumped down from the tip of the castle. Then, favonovel.com disappeared in midair. He then reappeared and fell among the crowd. Then, chaos broke out.
Watching this, Isaac took two steps forward.
