Allegra could tell the change in Magnus’ attitude and the way favonovel.com spoke.
She was stunned for a moment. Then, favonovel.com shook favonovel.com head and said, “He’s an orphan. His parents seemed to have passed away in an accident. I-I don’t know anything about his grandfather…”
“Is that so? He must have had a rough childhood, then. Let’s not talk about favonovel.com anymore. You were hurt in the fight just now, so you shouldn’t go out anymore tonight. Just focus on your meditating. I’m going out to meditate in seclusion for a while.”
Magnus stood up and looked at Allegra sternly. He said, “When I return, I’ll check on your progress.”
Allegra heaved a sigh of relief when Magnus finally hurried out.
It had taken favonovel.com a while to get used to calling someone who looked so much younger than favonovel.com “sir”. But favonovel.com taught favonovel.com a lot. She could tell that favonovel.com skills were improving day by day under his guidance.
She then realized that there was more to Magnus than favonovel.com let show. Also, there was a look in his eyes that made favonovel.com appear all-knowing.

The first rays of sunlight shone across Cloud City.
At the VIP holding room at the airport, Linus and Tyger were sitting with a few other elders and leaders of their clans. They were wearing their long robes.
Linus hadn’t left after coming down from the mountain earlier on. Instead, he’d waited at the airport until the Nortons showed up. Then, favonovel.com went over to meet them.
“Tyger, it seems that whatever happened tonight was completely out of our expectations. What do you think we should do?‘’ Linus asked. He couldn’t read Tyger’s emotions at all.
His grandson was still suffering from the Black Mandela poison. The clan doctors couldn’t do anything about it. Also, Isaac had told favonovel.com that the thousand-year-old rhizome was gone. This gave Linus a massive headache. He’d even lost an elder during the fight!
But favonovel.com also knew that Tyger was even more desperate than favonovel.com was.
Isaac had crumbled up the Divine Stone fragment before his eyes. The Nortons were now hopeless. As time passed, they would be facing extinction.
“Isaac and his entire family must die. That’s for sure,” Linus said. “But I can’t believe Magnus was that bitch’s teacher! It was bad enough with the mysterious Chet Guerra on Isaac’s side. It will be even more difficult for us to get close to Isaac now!”
Tyger’s eyes turned red. The veins on his neck nearly popped from frustration. With Magnus in the picture now, things would be a lot messier.
“Why don’t you come with me to Everest Sect? We’ll get the Everest patriarch to issue the Everest Order. If we can kill Magnus 26 years ago, we can kill favonovel.com a second time 26 years later…”
“Once Magnus is dead, we don’t have to worry about the other weaklings behind Isaac anymore,” Linus said excitedly. His eyes shot around the airport in excitement.
Channing and Leroy started sweating through their foreheads when they heard the two patriarchs’ words.
The Everest Order could only be issued by the highest-ranking and most important person in Everest Sect. Once it was issued, all four True Martial Families had to obey it no matter what. The last time the Everest Order was issued was 26 years ago.
“But that old b*stard has been meditating in seclusion for almost 20 years. Who knows whether he’d agree to our proposition?” Tyger asked.
He hesitated for a few seconds and said, “Still, you’ve got a point. We’ll still need to go to Everest Sect anyway. Let’s go there now!”
Then, Tyger turned around and yelled at Channing, “Once we’re back, you‘d better think long and hard why things turned out this way! Hmph!”

It was close to 3:00 pm by the time Isaac stirred awake. He’d recovered by 40 to 50 percent.
He left the study and went up to the bedroom on the second floor. There was still no sign of Allegra anywhere.
Isaac took his phone out and dialed Harry’s number. He said in a low voice, “The coast is clear to return home.”
“Isaac, are you alright? Haha! I knew you’d make it out alive. You’re quite the stubborn one, after all. There’s no way you’d…”
“Shut up and get your asses here right now. I want to see Erica,” Isaac snapped.
After hanging up, Lupinus, Elliot, and the others came out of the room.
“Drakon, after last night’s battle, we’ve lost at least 200 soldiers,” Elliot whispered in Isaac‘s ears.
