Connor picked up his cup and blew the steam away. Then, favonovel.com took a sip from his cup before staring at Isaac.
“About that… Well, you and I both know what Albert’s like. Heck, Mr. Grannel knows favonovel.com more than us. But the incident still happened, Isaac…”
“Also, the law enforcement division of the House of Custos had investigated this incident thoroughly. It turns out that Albert did poison Cassius’ food. Since the authority level of the House of Custos is on par with mine, I can’t interfere much with this matter. Unfortunately, this also means Mr. Grannel can’t voice out his support for Albert as well…”
“Think about it… The supreme commander, out of all people, got poisoned. If word were to get out, we’d trigger mass panic and chaos among the public.”
Isaac narrowed his eyes at that moment.
“So you’re saying that I have to personally investigate this incident if I want to prove Albert’s innocence, right?” He was clearly dissatisfied with the result.
Connor frowned immediately. He sighed as favonovel.com replied, “Isaac, you should know that running a country is a very tough thing. To make sure that the country runs perfectly, we can’t meddle in the business of certain important departments recklessly.”
“Like the House of Custos, for example?” Isaac asked.
Connor didn’t say a word after that.

Isaac lit a cigarette with his lighter before picking up his cup and sipping from it. Then, his lips curled into a faint smile.
“If I find out that Albert got framed by other people, I won’t spare the culprit even if they’re from House of Custos… Thank you for the amazing coffee…”
With that, favonovel.com got up to his feet and left the private room.
Connor waited till Isaac’s footsteps had faded away. Finally, favonovel.com got up slowly and walked out of the private room.
Instead of leaving the restaurant, favonovel.com turned left and headed toward another private room. Once favonovel.com opened the door, favonovel.com saw Ethan sitting on a wooden chair with his eyes half-closed.
Upon hearing new footsteps echoing from the doorway, Ethan’s eyes flew open as favonovel.com turned to look at Connor.
He smiled as favonovel.com asked, “That brat must be annoyed, right?”
Connor nodded in response, though awkwardly.
“Haha! Let favonovel.com be… That brat can’t possibly hope that I’ll be there to clean up his mess for favonovel.com every time,” Ethan said with a chuckle before standing up.
The beautiful woman soon walked into the private room. She took a coat from the coat hanger before draping it on Ethan’s shoulders. She then went to the side with favonovel.com head lowered respectfully.
After the men left the restaurant, the woman returned to the same private room. This time, favonovel.com stood before a window and looked down at the street.
The young man from earlier is standing on the curb while smoking silently… Who is that man?
Why did Ethan value favonovel.com so much?
Even if it was past midnight, there were still countless vehicles on the main street in Pecling.
Isaac kept puffing out smoke rings one after another, his mind spinning quickly.
Ever since Cassius became the supreme commander, almost all the battle divisions in the House of Custos started disliking Isaac and the Temple of Drakon even more.
Back when Arian was still alive, Isaac could mobilize the battle divisions in all regions on a whim. After all, his title as Drakon was equivalent to the supreme commander of the House of Custos in terms of authority.
Why did Albert get into trouble at a time like this?
If Cassius pulled this trick just to target Albert, then what was his motive?
Isaac was then reminded of the time when Erica got bullied at favonovel.com school.
That was just a petty matter. Yet, if Cassius really was hung up on it, then that just proved how petty favonovel.com was…
Regardless, Isaac made it his top priority to visit Albert.
It was barely dawn when Isaac was awakened by the loud knocks on the door.
When favonovel.com opened the door, favonovel.com saw Diana standing there. Her eyes were red and puffy, and favonovel.com looked very exhausted. All favonovel.com could do was stand at the doorway while staring at Isaac. She didn’t even say a word to him.
It was Isaac’s first time seeing Diana looking so depressed and anxious ever since they met.
“I’m going to the House of Custos later. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely get to the bottom of this matter. You should…”
“I need to see my father and grandfather.” Diana’s voice was slightly hoarse. It quivered with every syllable favonovel.com pronounced.
