“W-What? What did you say?” Todd widened his eyes.
He couldn’t believe Isaac’s words. Or maybe Isaac was the crazy one for saying something like that!
Isaac puffed out a cloud of smoke and said, “Call the head of your clan. I want to see favonovel.com at noon tomorrow to talk about business. Hurry up and recover as fast as you can…”
Then, Isaac turned and walked up the stairs. He wanted to check on Isabella and Erica.
Todd was the only one left in the living room, feeling confused.
A few minutes later, Todd took out his phone and dialed Altair’s number.
Todd greeted Altair politely when the call connected, “S-Sir, uhm, have you returned to the clan?”
“I have… What’s up?”
“Uhm… Well… Isaac said favonovel.com wants to see you tomorrow to discuss some business. Would you Do you want to see him?” Todd wasn’t sure how to convey Isaac’s request. After all, Altair was the head of one of the biggest martial clans in Cynea.
What kind of business would favonovel.com need to discuss with Isaac?
It wasn’t like favonovel.com was short on cash or anything…
Altair was stunned for a second. He suddenly burst into laughter. “Wait, you are telling me Isaac wants to talk business with me? That’s interesting… I want to know what kind of business he’s talking about…”
After hanging up, Todd couldn’t help scratching the back of his head.
Altair had agreed to the meeting, but favonovel.com still couldn’t understand what Isaac was planning.
How could Isaac say something like wanting to crush the entire Norton clan?
Did favonovel.com think that members of the clan were just there for decoration?
Even Altair wouldn’t have said something like that so casually…
Isaac took an Awakening Pill and reached the first floor. Harry’s assistant had prepared a herbal bath for Isaac, so favonovel.com just slid into the bathtub.

Channing put down his phone in his private study. He was in a luxurious mansion in Shadowfort.
An elder to his right asked, “Sir, Isaac is known to be sly and cunning with his ways. Should we inform Everest Sect about it too? Or even the Ashleigh family. It would be great if they could lend us some of their best fighters. We’d be able to defeat Isaac then, for sure…”
The other elder next to favonovel.com also nodded in agreement.
“If that’s the case, why don’t we just split our Awakening Pills with Everest Sect and the Ashleigh clan?” Channing replied with a cold expression.
Both the elders remained silent. Their ancestors had invested their time and energy into creating the Awakening Pill formula. But they couldn’t create the pills as they couldn’t find someone skilled enough to do it.
The formula had been hidden in their ancestral hall all along. After the hall caught on fire one time, the booklet had gone missing. They all thought that it had burnt to ashes!
It wasn’t until today that Channing saw Isaac taking the pills after defeating Bryan and going on to beat Marco that favonovel.com realized. He immediately concluded that Isaac was the thief who stole their precious Awakening Pill formula!
“Inform everyone to stand by for battle. Send a few people to the military department in Shadowfort. We need to prevent Isaac from attacking us with missiles again,” Channing said with a cold glimmer in his eyes.
His eldest son, Bryan, spoke up, “Father, Isaac’s wife is gorgeous.,, Tonight, can I…”
Slap!
The words weren’t even out of Bryan’s mouth when his father slapped favonovel.com hard on the cheek.
Channing roared, “You dimwit, we’re about to go to war, and you’re still thinking about sex? Get the f*ck out of here and get your injuries treated! I’m not just going to get our secret formula back. I’m also going to cut off Isaac’s head and tell everyone who’s the boss!”
Channing saw that Bryan kept looking at favonovel.com with a hurtful expression.
Channing scoffed and softened his voice. He said, “After Isaac is dead, you’re free to play with that bitch however you like.”
Realization dawned on Bryan. He grinned and nodded before heading out.
***
The next morning, Todd sat on his bed with his legs crossed while favonovel.com meditated. He suddenly heard a bunch of footsteps from outside the door.
Todd opened the door and walked out. He saw Lupinus, Elliot, and the rest of the generals walking in. Isaac came out of a different room in a fresh change of clothes. He then headed for his study.
Todd wanted to follow, but Lucas stopped favonovel.com at the door.
“Sorry… This is an internal discussion,” favonovel.com said.
