“Something is indeed not right, but his wife is in our hands. We have made the necessary preparations for battle. Why should we fear him?” favonovel.com pondered.
A flash of cold light crossed his eyes. “Notify the eight gatekeepers to prepare to welcome Isaac.”
Bryan rushed in then. He said through gritted teeth, “Father, I have a request. Please allow me to avenge my brother’s death with my own hands today. Allow me to chop off Isaac’s head!”
Seeing his son’s ferocious expression, Channing nodded. “Alright…”

Meanwhile, as the taxi approached the Norton family’s Villa, Todd’s breathing quickened. He turned to see Isaac with his eyes closed, his hands still gripping the suitcase. He seemed to be asleep.
“You must stay by my side tonight. Or your life would be in danger,” Isaac said, his eyes still closed.
“You’re saying that my life would be in danger?” Todd pointed at himself, chuckling.
The taxi driver peeped at his two passengers in the backseat. He looked terrified. In fact, favonovel.com was wary of bringing these people, because recently, two taxi drivers had been killed by thugs in the middle of the night in Shadowfort.
Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in front of a vintage villa on the outskirts of Shadowfort.
Isaac and Todd both got down.
Suddenly, the taxi’s engine rumbled, and the car sped away.
“Did that bastard see a ghost?!” Todd shouted over his shoulder.
At the gate, four cloaked men were standing on each side. Their bodies were surging with spiritual energy. Based on their aura, they had to be at least in the Divinity Phase.
Divinity Phase fighters as guards?
As expected, their pockets were deep.
“What are you looking at? Get out of the way!” Todd roared at the men, power exploding from his body.
The latter all staggered backward. One of them even spat up a mouthful of blood.
Isaac picked up his suitcase and headed inside.
The path was quiet and winding. Several old-fashioned standalone villas stood all around them. However, Isaac couldn’t help but feel numerous pairs of eyes on him.
He knew that Allegra was being locked in the room on the third floor of the centermost villa. It was also Channing’s quarters.
In front of favonovel.com was a ninety-degree bend.
After making a right turn, his field of vision suddenly brightened. A seven-story tall villa stood before him. Its front lawn was the size of two football fields.
Blinding lights shone from the building. It looked like a skyscraper from a movie. But at least 50 martial artists in cloaks were standing in a line on the front lawn. They all wielded swords. Their bodies were already exuding intense spiritual energy.
Meanwhile, Channing stood on a five-foot tall platform at the back. Beside favonovel.com were four elders, as well as Bryan.
“Isaac, I underestimated you. I never thought you would come earlier and even manage to find this place. Did you think I would be unprepared?” Channing said coldly.
Isaac stepped forward step by step.
Almost 60 men in cloaks glared fiercely at Isaac and Todd.
When favonovel.com was about 150 feet from Channing, Isaac raised the suitcase and uttered icily, “All the Awakening Pills in my possession are in here… Where’s my wife? I only brought one man with me. Channing, this should be enough to prove my sincerity…”
“‘Sincerity’? Haha, how will I know the pills are real?” Channing smiled sinisterly.
Isaac opened the suitcase. Inside were ten exquisite white bottles. Each bottle contained three Awakening Pills.
“Then test the goods yourself.” Isaac simply picked up a bottle and tossed it onto the platform.
Charming caught it effortlessly.
“Sir Charming, let me check them first. Beware of his schemes,” the First Elder said urgently.
