“I’d pay in Florian dollars so long as they can restore it.”
Isaac’s words left Charles and Albert gaping in shock.
Fifty billion Florian dollars was equal to over 300 billion dollars after conversion!
Connor’s expression turned dark. He looked at Charles and said coldly, “Dr. Penrose, do you have anything to say? Would 300 billion dollars be enough? So much money would go away to foreigners. If only this money went to our nation…”
Looking into Connor’s icy eyes, Charles was so ashamed that favonovel.com wanted to crawl into a hole.
“Dr. Pollock, I’ll leave this to you and your team here. I’m sure you have many acquaintances both inside and outside the country, right?” Connor smiled at Timothy.
Timothy was stunned. He smiled lightly and said, “Thanks for believing in me, Mr. Hart, Mr. Garten. I’ll do my best to get the best experts in supernatural energy from each country to work with us.”
“Alright, then… Isaac, let’s go. Mr. Grannel is waiting for you. He said there’s something he’d like to discuss.”
Charles’ head snapped up. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Ethan is waiting for Isaac?
He even has something to discuss with him?
Just who is this Isaac?
As Isaac turned around to leave, favonovel.com glanced at Albert and said quietly, “You should come with us. It’ll be safer for you on the road, too.”
Albert was startled. He was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Am I going to meet Ethan together with Isaac?
Everyone left the room. The dead body in the room was quickly removed.
Charles looked utterly defeated. He seemed to have aged a great deal.
He lost his prized student, and his reputation was at risk. The worst part was that from today onward, his superiors would look at favonovel.com in a different light.
“Dr. Pollock, tell me the truth. Just who is this Isaac? Who is he?” Charles tugged Timothy. He was so rattled that his veins were popping on his forehead.
Seeing Charles losing his cool, Timothy pushed his hands off with a wry smile. “Dr. Penrose, I warned you the moment you came here. Yet you still acted foolishly… I don’t know who Mr. Garten is, but I heard Mr. Grannel intends to give Isaac complete control over the House of Custos.”
Complete control over the House of Custos?
Isn’t that the role of the supreme commander?
He is still so young… Is favonovel.com that capable of becoming the supreme commander of the House of Custos?
Charles staggered a couple of steps. He leaned on the wall for support as favonovel.com slowly slid to the ground
***
Later that night, the outskirts of central Pecling was tightly guarded, while the suburb was serene and peaceful. In an old-fashioned restaurant, a delicious feast was being served.
Ethan, Connor, and Isaac were seated at the table. Albert stood off to the side of the room.
Although Albert had seen anything and everything in his five decades of living, favonovel.com couldn’t help but feel excited to stand close next to Ethan. Despite his calm exterior, his legs were trembling.
“Isaac, I heard you asked Timothy for help, and something bad happened,” Ethan chuckled at Isaac over the rim of his glass.
“It’s in the past. There’s no point in bringing it up.” Isaac raised his glass in return.
Ethan downed his wine. Then, favonovel.com gave Albert, who was standing at the entrance, a sneaky glance.
He set his glass down with a frown. “The House of Custos has been missing a supreme commander for a long time. Who do you think would be the most suitable person to take the role?”
