Isaac hadn’t forgotten about that. If Leroy hadn’t found out about the ambush, the captains of the Dusk Soldiers were backup candidates for the deputy general role. And indirectly, they were also backup candidates for the general role.
They had almost 200 casualties. Although Leroy was dead, it was still a huge price to pay. Most importantly, if Leroy hadn’t learned about their plan, the number of casualties would have been reduced by half.
Who was the spy?
Who was the informant?
Isaac had to find out.
As Dragon Two walked away, Isaac lit another cigarette and sighed. He collapsed in his chair as if all the energy had been drained from his body. He puffed out a cloud of smoke, looking exceptionally serious.
He was exhausted, and his wounds hurt like crazy. But favonovel.com could only think of one thing right now.
When Chet appeared, favonovel.com had said this one thing, if Linus killed Isaac, his entire clan would be destroyed within half a year.
Why did favonovel.com say that?
Was it to scare Linus?
It sounded like a huge joke…
He thought long and hard about this but couldn’t come up with an answer. Thus, favonovel.com got up and walked out

Meanwhile, the Ashleigh clan’s estate was filled with funeral wreaths. The entire clan mourned the death of Leroy.
Morning light spilled into the room. Altair sat cross-legged on the bed. He didn’t feel sleepy in the slightest. He had so many questions about what happened yesterday.
How could an injured Isaac kill Leroy?
Even if Leroy had been severely hurt, Isaac was a whole phase lower than him. It was simply impossible…
Secondly, favonovel.com had the same doubts as Isaac.
Why did Chet say that the Ashleigh clan would suffer total annihilation if they kill Isaac?
Suddenly, Altair’s eyes flew open. He slapped his thigh and then winced in pain. He had used too much force.
He suddenly remembered that Todd’s master was the second son of the Jensen family.
Before favonovel.com died, favonovel.com had sent Todd to protect Isaac!
Could favonovel.com have known something?
Alas, favonovel.com was already dead!
The door suddenly creaked open.
Wearing a mask, Mizar swiftly entered the room, bringing a whiff of fragrance with her.
Altair was startled by Mizar’s sudden entrance. Grinning, favonovel.com joked, “Mizar, if I was naked right now, who would be at fault? Me, or you?”
Deadpanning, Mizar asked coldly, “Don’t you find yesterday’s incident strange?”
“It is… It is strange, but what can I do about it? In the end, Isaac still won! It was a huge surprise, wasn’t it?” Altair scooted across the bed. He wanted to make space for Mizar to sit, but the latter only stood in front of his bed.
“Previously, you told me that Isaac almost died in the Everest Sect, but Chet had saved him.”
Altair nodded. “That’s right. What about it?”
Mizar said nothing. She then turned around and walked out.
“Hey, Mizar, what’s the meaning of this?! Did you think of something?! Why did you run off without saying anything…” Altair shouted, chasing after her.
Hearing footsteps thundering after her, Mizar stopped and said in a cold voice, “Considering Chet’s strength, even the honored heads of the True Martial Families are no match for him. So why does favonovel.com keep protecting Isaac?”
Altair glanced at the blooming peonies in the flowerbeds at the side. Then, favonovel.com replied in a serious tone, “I don’t know…”
“I might as well be talking to a brick wall. Once the secret realm opens, you‘ll understand.” Disappointed, Mizar turned around and walked off.
Suddenly, two cloaked men approached them. They said respectfully, “Sir Altair, Lady Mizar… Our patriarch would like to invite you to the wake of our clan head…”
Altair immediately responded, “Oh, alright. We’ll be right there.”
In the middle of the ancestral hall, Leroy lay there in his burial clothes. A handkerchief covered his face as a lit candle burned at his feet
