Everyone heard the crisp sound of Cassius’ skull cracking. They all gaped at Cassius with wide eyes.
Isaac’s right palm was still on Cassius’ head. Meanwhile, Cassius’ eyes, nose, and mouth were bleeding rapidly. He gurgled from the back of his throat before his body collapsed.
“Dad!” Melody screamed among the crowd. She broke free of Dragon One’s hold and sprinted toward him.
Ethan was stunned. His expression changed as favonovel.com turned to stare at Isaac.
Did this punk actually kill Cassius?
The other commanders standing on the steps had turned to stone and the Imperial Iron Guards surrounding the square had forgotten to pull the trigger on their rifles.
There were over 10,000 people in this vast space, but right now, it was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
“This proves that you were right back then. This person certainly couldn’t become a supreme commander. Thus, let me be the bad guy here…” Isaac clapped his hands together, glancing at Ethan and Connor.
Having said that, favonovel.com slowly approached Ethan.
“We’ll be heading back to Cloud City now. Old Taylor must be buried at Lamington National Cemetery. As for Albert’s issue, I’m sure you both will be able to come up with a fair answer.”
Without waiting for a response, Isaac waved at the Taylor family and the Dusk Soldiers. “Let’s head back to Cloud City.”
With Isaac leading the way, the large group of people headed toward the parked motorcade. Then, they got into the cars and went back to where they came from.
Connor stared at the dead body on the floor.
Seeing Ethan’s infuriated expression, favonovel.com frowned. He waved at the commanders standing on the steps, who didn‘t seem to have recovered from the shock yet.
The commanders immediately jogged over.
“There are two things I need. Firstly, whatever happened tonight cannot be leaked! Secondly, handle the arrangements for the Taylor family now. I don’t care which one of you does it, but Old Taylor’s burial and Albert’s reinstatement must be done by sunrise!”
The commanders gawked at Cassius’ corpse on the floor. Then, they gazed at Ethan, who pursed his lips and said nothing. They nodded profusely.
Isaac had killed the supreme commander and then walked away from Ethan casually. They weren’t even at the level of the supreme commander yet, so they didn’t dare to do anything rash.

Meanwhile, a cloaked man stumbled past the gates of the Everest Sect.
“Take me to the head at once! Something big has happened!” the man screamed at the top of his lungs.
The guards peered at him.
Isn’t this the hall leader of the Stormwind Hall, Douglas Campway?
They rushed over and supported him. One of the guards made a path for favonovel.com to walk.
Right now, it was already past midnight.
Caesar was still fast asleep when an urgent, terrified scream came outside his door, “Sir, Mr. Campway needs to see you urgently!”
Caesar’s eyes flew open.
Douglas?
Didn’t favonovel.com follow Nigel to Pecling?
Why did favonovel.com return alone?
Caesar immediately jumped out of bed. He changed into a cloak and sat on the edge of his bed.
“Come in…”
The door opened. Douglas walked in with sweat pouring down his face.
Seeing Caesar perched on his bed, Douglas fell to his knees. He sobbed, “Sir, Mr. Ender is dead… The three other hall leaders are also dead…”
Caesar had had a feeling that there wouldn’t be good news. Still, never in a million years would favonovel.com expect to hear such a thing.
“What did you say? Nigel is dead? Who would actually be capable of killing him?” Caesar stalked toward Douglas furiously.
