They stopped the car by the roadside. He then dialed Allegra’s number multiple times. But nobody picked up each time.
Allegra had been acting suspiciously lately. Isaac realized it, but favonovel.com didn’t want to push her. It would be bad if favonovel.com ran away from the plane and got captured by the Nortons this time.
“Drakon, let‘s go back to the hotel to rest first,” Lupinus said in a low voice. “We need to recover our physical and spiritual energy as soon as we can.”
He knew they were still in great danger.
“Alright,” Isaac said with a long sigh.
***
Back in Gayton, there were two enormous craters in the ground. They were in the plain fields where the Ashleighs loved picnicking at.
Compared with the loss of the dozen or so Dusk Soldiers, the Ashleighs had a death toll of more than 100 people.
Two of the best doctors in the clan were treating the young master’s wounds in full protective gear. They were all in one of the rooms in the largest mansion in the back.
Leroy and the elders were very anxious.
There was a sudden stern voice coming from the door, “What happened to my son and grandson?”
Everyone turned and saw a white-haired old man enter the room with two other people behind him. The old man wore a turquoise robe with snake patterns all over it.
“Father!”
“Sir Linus!” Everyone hurriedly fell to their feet.
The old man was Linus Ashleigh, Leroy’s father. He was also the family patriarch of the Ashleigh clan.
Linus saw his grandson’s face was full of dark lines that appeared and disappeared. He also noticed his grandson was suffering so much favonovel.com was crying out in pain.
Leroy dragged himself to the family patriarch’s feet and told favonovel.com everything that happened.
After learning about the incident, Linus was furious. He yelled, “You f*cking idiots! How could you let a nobody break into our clan and steal the thousand-year-old rhizome away? You’re a f*cking disgrace and disappointment as the head of the clan!”
“Father, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I’ve been too careless. But there’s nothing I can do about it anymore. I don’t know what to do anymore!”
Leroy was distraught. He couldn’t think straight anymore.
The iciness in Linus’ eyes intensified. He said coldly, “Did you now just tell me that the Nortons are working with Everest Sect to tear up Isaac’s place? Why aren’t you part of the gang?”
“Don’t you think you’d have a better chance of getting rid of Isaac if the three of you worked together?”
“B-But if I told the others about what happened here tonight, I-I…”
“You idiot! Do you think your dignity is as important as Enoch’s life right now?!” Linus yelled at him.
He didn’t have to wait for Leroy to finish his sentence to know what favonovel.com was trying to say.
Leroy didn’t dare to say anything else.
The patriarch immediately said, “Once you‘ve captured Isaac, you’ll have the antidote to Enoch’s condition. You can then kill favonovel.com afterward. It’s all up to you!”
Realization hit Leroy like a bomb. Excitement appeared on his face as favonovel.com said, “Father, I understand now what you’re trying to say. I’ll call the Nortons right now.”
Then, favonovel.com quickly took out his phone and dialed Channing‘s number.
“Sir Channing? Are you looking for Isaac? He was in Gayton just now. In my clan…”
On the other side of the line, Channing was shocked beyond words. He never thought Isaac would barge into the Ashleigh clan and steal the rhizome from them on the night the Nortons and Everest Sect were planning to kill him. Moreover, Isaac even managed to harm the young master of the Ashleigh clan!
“Sir Leroy, I’ve already given out an order to capture everyone connected to Isaac. This time, we’ll make favonovel.com surrender himself!”
“I’m sure we’ll be able to get rid of Isaac’s entire family if the Ashleighs would care to join us, too!”
