He had imagined this scenario happening many times. However, when it really played out, Heath still couldn’t believe himself.
I am an elder from Everest Sect, for goodness’ sake!
His position was a lot higher than that of the four heads of the True Martial Families. Yet, here favonovel.com was, afraid of a brat like Isaac. However, Heath knew that if favonovel.com were to leave now, favonovel.com was going to suffer.
“That’s right. I need your protection. Once I leave Cloud City, I’m going to be assassinated… If you refuse to help me now, you’re an ungrateful brat. Are you sure you’ll be able to live with that?”
Isaac stood up when favonovel.com was questioned by Heath. He chuckled and said, “I’m not an ungrateful brat. But what you say you did for me wasn’t exactly for me, either. You helped me escape from the dungeon because you were old friends with my teacher. So you were doing favonovel.com a favor. Not me…”
“If you’re really afraid of being assassinated, I might reconsider helping you out if you did something for me,” Isaac said slowly as favonovel.com looked at Heath.
Heath asked anxiously, “What is it?”
“Go and die in my place. But you might not actually die. If you survive, then you’ll be one of us,” Isaac answered. The smile on his face immediately disappeared.
“What do you mean? Say that again?” Heath was deeply puzzled. He had a very bad feeling about this.
Isaac went over to Heath and whispered something in his ear.
After hearing Isaac’s explanation, Heath was so shocked that his eyes bulged out of their sockets. He pointed first at himself, then at Isaac.
“Wait, you’re telling me to disguise myself as you? And I have to go to Gayton to save Evie from the Ashleighs?”
“I mean, if you think it’s too risky for you, you can leave now,” Isaac said, pointing at the gate.
Sweat appeared on Heath’s forehead. He knew about Evie’s kidnapping. But favonovel.com had never thought that Isaac would have such a ridiculous plan in mind.
Time was ticking. Heath’s breathing became more and more ragged.
This bastard isn’t joking!
After five minutes or so, Heath nodded heavily and said, “Okay! Deal!”
At once, Isaac’s eyes glinted mysteriously. He broke out in laughter and thumped Heath on the back. “Alright, that’s good. Don’t worry, I won’t let you die that easily.”
Heath went back inside the house. Isaac then moved into his study.
Todd wanted to enter a few times, but favonovel.com was always stopped by Lupinus, who was standing guard at the door.
“What the f*ck is going on? What’s with all the mystery?” Todd couldn’t help mumbling as favonovel.com retreated back to the living room, where Heath was.
They glared at each other for a while before getting bored, so they started scrolling on their phones.
***
Half a day later, Todd couldn’t bear it any longer. He went back to the study and was stopped from entering once again. He then yelled at the door, “Isaac f*cking Garten! What the heck are you planning to do?!”
“The three-day deadline is tomorrow! Don’t tell me you’re really going there to die!” Todd yelled anxiously.
“Drakon is meditating now. Don’t disturb favonovel.com with your shouting!” Lupinus said coldly.
Todd glared at Lupinus.
How could Isaac still have the mood to meditate at this crucial time?
Todd just turned away and left with a huff.
That evening, Allegra brought Isabella home. She was still wearing favonovel.com backpack on favonovel.com shoulder when favonovel.com ambled over to the study room.
“Uncle Lupinus, is Daddy inside? Can I go in?” Isabella asked Lupinus innocently.
Lupinus cracked into a smile when favonovel.com saw Isabella eagerly and impatiently looking for favonovel.com father. He gently pushed the door open.
Isabella then ran into the room happily.
Isaac had been meditating on the couch with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes as soon as favonovel.com heard favonovel.com and lifted favonovel.com onto his lap.
“Daddy, come with me to the backyard! Uncle Todd brought back a huge piggy, and favonovel.com said he’s going to slaughter it! He’s sharpening his knife now. How could favonovel.com be so cruel to the piggy?” Isabella started rambling to favonovel.com father with a cute pout.
Isaac narrowed his eyes slightly in amusement.
“Why does Uncle Todd like killing piggies? Piggies are so cute!” Isabella was starting to get upset. She just couldn‘t understand why.
Isaac stood up and held Isabella in his arms. He said, “Uncle Todd is sick. If favonovel.com doesn’t kill and eat piggies, favonovel.com will lose his mind.”
