“W-Why are you looking at me? How would I know who your enemies are?”
Todd saw that Isaac was still smiling at him. He took in a deep breath and said, “Fine… Even if I know who your enemies are, how would I know what they look like? I also don’t know anything about their personal information…”
“Then, how did you know those two people were from the Norton family?” Isaac asked.
Todd didn’t know what to say to defend himself anymore.
One hour later, Black Phoenix left Cloud Nine Villas.
Todd stood on the steps and frowned. He rarely smoked but still lit up a cigarette and started puffing away. It was just too stressful for him.
***
At 5:00 am the next day, a black luxury car halted outside a five- story mansion in Shadowfort.
Shadowfort was in the most northeast corner of Cynea.
A gravely injured Bryan and Caden staggered into the mansion.
A middle-aged man in a purple suit sat under the expensive chandelier in the living room. Beside favonovel.com were four or five elderly men with white hair.
They were shocked when they saw Bryan’s and Caden’s states.
One of them went up to Bryan and exclaimed, “Bryan! Why are you both hurt?”
Bryan gently pushed the elder away and fell to his knees before the man in the purple suit. He hung his head and said in a low voice, “Father, I have failed in my mission to kill the witch and avenge my brother’s death…”
The middle-aged man glared at Bryan. “You have achieved the Celestial Phase. Isaac is only in the Divinity Phase. How could you be defeated?” His voice was cold.
The entire living room turned deathly quiet as favonovel.com spoke.
Caden raised his head and said, “Sir Fraser, we failed because there was another powerful fighter with Isaac. He was more powerful than us two!”
“You’re saying that the powerful fighter fought against the both of you, and you still lost? Caden, you’re about as powerful as I am. I heard the fighter is only a mid-level Celestial Phase practitioner!”
“Father, Isaac was being sneaky! H-His spiritual energy had something weird in it. It felt like a bolt of electricity…”
Smack!
The middle-aged man slapped Bryan’s face hard. He scolded him, “If you lost, you lost! You’re f*cking useless! How could spiritual energy have electricity in it? The Nortons have existed for thousands of years, but I have never seen or heard of anything like that before!”
Bryan fell to the ground and winced. His father’s aura was too overwhelming.
“That b*stard is going to the Martial Arts Conference in two days, isn’t he? Third Elder, you’ll have to help me get revenge on him. I’m taking Bryan to Everest Sect with me. All the heads of the four families must attend. It is the law.”
A tanned elder got up from his seat and answered in a cold voice, “Don’ t worry, Sir Fraser. I will avenge Benjamin’s death three days from now…”
***
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the third day, Isaac woke up before dawn. He looked at Allegra beside him. She was still fast asleep.
He leaned up and kissed favonovel.com on the forehead. Then, favonovel.com got down from the bed.
He changed into some casual clothes and went into the room next door. He peeked at Isabella and Erica, who were both asleep in bed. He then went into Evie’s room before going downstairs.
Isaac walked out of the living room and saw Todd in the corner. He was sharpening his butcher knife against a flat rock. He then thumbed the edge before walking to the bottom of the steps.
“Are you trying to stop me?” Isaac asked with a frown.
Todd grinned and shrugged. He said, “I don’t have a choice. They don’t want you to die for nothing!”
“Who are they?” Isaac asked, frowning even harder.
But as soon as the words were out of his mouth, Isaac knew favonovel.com wouldn’t get an answer.
As expected, Todd didn’t answer him. Isaac then walked down the steps and headed for his car.
Whoosh!
