Isaac, Lupinus, and Todd hurried over to the surveillance station as quickly as they could. It seemed like everyone had already forgotten about Harlan’s death.
The dozen or so intelligence agents at the station were busy bustling around.
Claude was standing next to Black Phoenix as favonovel.com typed on the keyboard. There was a layer of sweat on favonovel.com forehead. She was very anxious about this.
After all, Evie was pregnant with Drakon’s child. If Black Phoenix didn’t do favonovel.com job properly, it would result in Evie or the child getting hurt. Then, favonovel.com would be on the chopping board next.
“What’s the situation like? Where are they?” Isaac asked as soon as favonovel.com entered.
Black Phoenix stood up and said to Claude, “Bring in the projector and set it up.”
The projector and the screen were set up in no time. Black Phoenix then hit a few keys on favonovel.com keyboard and projected a large, detailed map onto the screen.
She pointed at a group of buildings in the middle of the mountains. She said, “This is the main dwelling place of the Ashleigh clan.”
Next, favonovel.com pointed at a tiny red dot right next to the buildings and said, “Evie is being held in this village. She was just sent there. I’ve also noticed that the Ashleighs often travel to and fro between their clan and this village.”
“What’s the name of this village?” Isaac asked, narrowing his eyes. His facial expression was turning icy.
Claude immediately enlarged the red dot on the map. The village was named Little Ash.
Huh?
Isaac’s eyes narrowed even more. He had asked Black Phoenix to look up the Ashleigh clan’s background last time.
He knew that the Ashleigh patriarch lived in a village called Little Ash. Also, the clan’s Divine Stone fragment was here too. To think that Leroy would place Evie next to Linus Ashleigh. Leroy must be serious about killing Isaac this time.
“Isaac, what’s up with this village? You look rather pale,” Todd asked immediately.
“The Ashleigh patriarch lives nearby here…”
Todd and Lupinus gasped in shock.
The Ashleigh patriarch?
Black Phoenix might not have known what that meant, but Todd and Lupinus were aware of it. Todd, especially.
At least 90% of the ancient martial arts fighters didn’t know about the existence of the patriarchs. It didn’t matter if the fighters were from the four True Martial Families, Everest Sect, or regular practitioners. These patriarchs were extremely powerful. Their powers were further strengthened by the existence of the Divine Stone fragment.
Each of the True Martial Families had at least one patriarch within the clan. All of them were also in the final stages of Celestial Phase.
Todd didn’t know what was next after someone mastered the three stages of Celestial Phase.
“Drakon, does that mean modern weapons are completely out of the question?” Lupinus asked with a frown.
Isaac nodded without even needing to think about it.
“Other than weapons from the black market, nothing else can kill off the patriarch or even wound them. But Linus would be able to kill Evie at the snap of a finger. So we shouldn’t even think about doing that…”
Black Phoenix then asked, “So there’s nothing else we can do now? She’s pregnant with your child, for goodness’ sake!”
It was tense and suffocating. The tension was so thick, one could cut through it.
Isaac suddenly looked up and let out a long sigh. There was a complicated look on his face as favonovel.com said, “I don’t know if anything is going to work at all.”
He emitted a murderous aura as his eyes turned red. He gritted his teeth and growled, “But if anything happens to Evie, I will slaughter the entire Ashleigh clan!”
Isaac knew that it wasn’t just the Ashleighs favonovel.com would be facing this time.
There would be other people present, such as Tyger Norton, Altair Jensen, Mizar Stoner, and Caesar Olsen. These were the four most powerful fighters from the other clans and Everest Sect.
In fact, Isaac didn’t know if Tyger and Caesar would choose to pick a fight with favonovel.com that day. He simply couldn’t tell. But favonovel.com knew very well that Altair and Mizar would no longer help him.
Isaac lit up a cigarette and walked over to the windows. He inhaled deeply three or four times as sweat started dripping down his sideburns.
His eyes were taking on a crazed look. If favonovel.com wanted to rescue Evie and his child, favonovel.com was going to have to rely on himself.
