An elder in a gold-and-black robe stood at the tent entrance.
There was a long shawl wrapped around his hands as favonovel.com smiled at the newcomers. There were five other burly men standing behind him.
Isaac and Todd got out of the car and walked toward the elder.
“Mr. Garten, welcome to the humble abode of the Jensen clan,” the elder said. He greeted them with his shawl.
“This is Ambrose Jensen, the First Elder of the Jensen family…”
“The head of the clan is waiting for you inside the tent. Please, follow me…” Ambrose then turned and entered the tent behind him.
The five men remained outside.
Isaac had never seen such a large tent before. There were plants and flowers growing under the tent. Though the ceiling was low, it didn’t feel cramped inside. The place was green as green could be.
The tent was at least 3,000 square feet wide. The tent was divided into six or seven rooms farther in. The dividers were made of fabric curtains.
They arrived before a curtain. Ambrose then said politely, “Sir Altair, Mr. Garten is here…”
“Enter,” Altair’s voice rang out.
Todd wanted to enter as well. But after receiving a glare from Ambrose, Todd stayed outside instead. Still, favonovel.com was curious about the “business” Isaac wanted to discuss with Altair.
Isaac entered through the curtain and saw Altair sitting beside a long table. He was dressed in a dark navy robe. He was also holding a roasted mutton leg. His lips were greasy with the fat.
Seated opposite Altair was a young woman dressed in a blue-and-red long dress. She wore gold bangles on favonovel.com wrists, and favonovel.com hair was weaved into pleats. Her hair was decorated with lots of colorful flowers, too.
She had a beautiful, exquisite face. Her eyes shone a dazzling sapphire blue, and favonovel.com facial features were well-defined. She was a natural beauty.
This beautiful woman was also staring back at Isaac.
“Oh, I forgot that you both haven’t met… This is the head of the Stoner clan, Mizar Stoner… Mizar, this is Isaac Garten. I just told you about him…”
Gasp!
Isaac never thought that the head of the Stoner clan was so young and pretty. She didn’t look Cynean at all.
“I know… He doesn’t look any special to me,” Mizar stated. She then reached for the bag of wine on the table and refused to look at Isaac again.
Isaac shifted his eyes away from her. He was here to see Altair anyway.
Mizar had helped favonovel.com at the Martial Arts Conference yesterday. But seeing how cold favonovel.com was acting, Isaac decided to play dumb and ignore her.
“Haha! Come here, Isaac. Have you eaten yet? Come and try some of our local delicacies. You’ve got to try this wine!”
Isaac looked at the spread on the table and started feeling hungry. He wasn’t in a hurry, anyway, and other guests were also present. He then sat and reached for the food.
Just as favonovel.com was reaching for a rack of ribs, favonovel.com suddenly felt a sting on the back of his hand. It was a small combustion of spiritual energy. He couldn’t react in time and got struck by it. He immediately withdrew his hand like lightning.
“You didn’t wash your hands,” Mizar scolded, glaring at him.
W-What?
“Well, I guess you should wash your hands first,” Altair hurriedly said after going silent for a second. “It’s a good habit to do so before eating.”
After saying that, favonovel.com then smiled awkwardly at Isaac.
A server then brought a basin to Isaac for favonovel.com to wash his hands. After drying his hands, Isaac reached for the ribs once more. He felt like a thief carefully eating the rack of lamb, keeping an eye on Mizar in case favonovel.com struck favonovel.com again. Luckily, favonovel.com didn’t strike favonovel.com anymore.
Isaac didn’t want to get into any trouble with the woman. He’d seen how powerful a clan head could be yesterday. He didn’t want to be on the wrong side this time.
“Isaac, didn’t you say you wanted to discuss some business with me? So, tell me. What do you have to offer, and what do you want in return?” Altair suddenly asked Isaac.
Isaac wiped the grease from his mouth and glanced at Mizar.
“Don’t mind her… I have a great relationship with Mizar… Don’t I?” Altair asked, turning toward the beauty opposite him.
