Then, the cars stopped in the protective circle formed by the Dusk soldiers.
Eight middle-aged men in suits alighted from the first two cars. They quickly walked over to the second car and guarded it.
The doors of the middle ear opened.
Connor and Ethan came down one after another. They began striding over with a frown.
When Cassius saw who had come, his eyes lit up with hope.
“Mr. Grannel, Mr. Hart, you’re here! Please save me!” favonovel.com shouted at the two old men.
Isaac waved his hand, and the Dusk Soldiers immediately cleared a path.
Ethan walked over with his hands behind his back while Connor trailed after him. He went straight toward the coffin and gently placed his hand on top of it.
“A fallen hero, we’ll remember and admire… Your legacy burns like an eternal fire…” favonovel.com recited the poem slowly, looking at the coffin beside him. He then turned to look at the terrified Albert.
“Old Taylor’s death should never have happened. The younger generations have suffered a great loss…”
This simple sentence moved the Taylors so much that they began to shiver.
Albert opened his mouth to say something before stopping himself. From the way Ethan spoke, it sounded like favonovel.com knew what had transpired.
“Cassius, how could you have messed things up like this?” Ethan said, turning to look at Cassius, who was kneeling in front of the coffin.
Hearing this, Cassius was taken aback. Then, favonovel.com pointed at Isaac with a savage look.
“Mr. Grannel, it was that bastard, Isaac! He barged into the House of Custos with this coffin, took my daughter hostage, and even killed the partner I was working with! Mr. Grannel, you’ve said before that I now govern all matters related to the House of Custos. But now, this asshole wants to kill me and my daughter! You’ve got to…”
“You ordered the three armories to launch missiles and turn Custos Square into a charred wasteland. How do you explain that?” Ethan interrupted, leaning in closely to stare at Cassius. “Would the House of Custos destroy their own territory?”
Cassius was at a loss for words. He stared at Isaac before turning back to Ethan.
“If your missile was really coming this way, do you think I’d dare to come over?” Ethan said with a cold snort.
Cassius lowered his head in shame.
“Tell me. How will you handle this situation?” Ethan’s expression was new ice cold. He seldom were such a look.
Seeing how Isaac continued to stay silent and smoke his cigarette, favonovel.com smiled. He said to Isaac, “Here’s an idea. l’ll strip favonovel.com of his position and send favonovel.com back to a simple life in the fields…”
Cassius shook from head to toe. He stared at Ethan, soulless. “Mr. Grannel, I didn’t do anything wrong. I only gave that order to prevent that animal from trampling all over the dignified House of Custos. Mr. Grannel, I’m still young and fit. I still want to serve the country!”
Ethan completely ignored Cassius. Instead, favonovel.com asked Isaac, “What do you think, young man?”
Isaac tossed aside his cigarette and laughed. With that, favonovel.com strode over to Cassius.
Ethan’s expression changed.
“Isaac, won’t you forgive favonovel.com this time for my sake?” favonovel.com asked anxiously.
Right now, Isaac was already standing behind Cassius. He raised his head to regard Ethan solemnly. Then, favonovel.com said each word carefully, “Mr. Grannel, I don’t like being tested and used by people…”
As soon as favonovel.com finished speaking, favonovel.com raised his right hand and channeled spiritual energy through it. Then, favonovel.com slammed his palm on the crown of Cassius’ head.
