After Isaac left, Cassius continued crying and sobbing in front of Ethan. He wailed that favonovel.com had never done anything wrong since becoming the supreme commander. He only had the country’s well-being at heart.
He also said favonovel.com never told Ethan about Albert because favonovel.com was trying to keep it within the department itself. He also complained that Isaac kept getting in his way of work and that the other party slapping favonovel.com in public was the last straw.
“Mr. Grannel, did you hear what favonovel.com said? He threatened me! He said that favonovel.com wanted to see Albert and Zachary before midnight tonight. I’m the supreme commander, why should I listen to favonovel.com and get threatened by him?”
“Mr. Grannel, what should I do about this?” Cassius asked, giving the frowning Ethan a twisted look.
Connor narrowed his eyes at Cassius.
Here favonovel.com goes again… Cassius should have pursued a career in acting…
Ethan just sighed heavily and waved it off. “I’m going to repeat the same thing. This has to do with the people from the House of Custos, not me, so I don’t want to get involved at all. However, you can’t kill anyone without evidence.”
Upon hearing this, Cassius’ eyebrow shot high into the air. His eyes glimmered sinisterly as favonovel.com watched Ethan and Connor head into the building.
Cassius gritted his teeth and said, “Isaac, even if I can’t kill Albert now, I can still torture favonovel.com until favonovel.com wishes for death!”
Then, Cassius hurried out. He needed to discuss this with Nigel. After all, Isaac had told favonovel.com he’d be returning at midnight.
Connor served Ethan a hot mug of coffee in the study. Then, favonovel.com poured another mug of coffee for himself and sat down in his seat.
Ethan leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed. But there was a smile on his lips.
Connor finally couldn’t keep his curiosity in check any longer. He asked, “Mr. Grannel, based on what I know about Isaac and his short temper, he’d never just leave or call it quits after slapping Cassius twice in the face. Why did you…”
“Why did I take Cassius’ side?” Ethan finished the sentence for Connor and chuckled.
He sat up and carefully took a sip of his coffee. Then, favonovel.com sighed and said, “Strictly speaking, Cassius is under my rule, correct?”
“That’s right,” Connor said and nodded.
“Just based on the fact that favonovel.com lied to me and tried harming his subordinate with such a low blow, favonovel.com should be fired from his position immediately,” Ethan said, his eyes turning hard and glowing with a cold, eerie light. “Especially since favonovel.com knows that Albert is someone I respect a lot…”
Connor gasped as realization dawned on him.
“Were you using Isaac to…”
“No way! How could you say that? I’m just using a different way to punish Cassius. That’s all,” Ethan said. “In fact, if that brat hadn’t looked at me that way just now, I’d never have known how to deal with this situation!”
What?!
Connor gasped once more. He widened his eyes in disbelief and asked, “Y-You mean to say that you and Isaac have been putting on a show all along?”
“Haha!” Ethan said nothing else after bursting into laughter.
***
Cassius returned to the House of Custos and immediately called for Nigel. He told favonovel.com about Isaac coming for favonovel.com at midnight tonight and wanting to see both Albert and Zachary waiting for him. He also told favonovel.com about the threat if favonovel.com failed to do so.
Hearing this, Nigel immediately called over the three heads hidden in the House of Custos. These three heads were Celestial Stage fighters.
With four powerful fighters by his side, Cassius was feeling confident once more.
As the sun set, all seven generals arrived at the Pecling International Airport. They were all in disguise, as per orders from Drakon.
The seven of them had now infiltrated a team of tourists who were on their way to visit the Evereston Mountains. They followed the tourists into the plane and found their seats.
Meanwhile, Isaac brought the Dragon Soldiers with favonovel.com as they left Pecling on a speedboat. They headed to Glenwood Airport, where they boarded Isaac’s private jet.
