Isaac was stunned, and Nubique and the other two chief abbots were left speechless.
“Since Mr. Zansam believes in me, I will certainly prove my innocence,” Isaac said, taking a deep breath and nodding toward Zansam.
Nubique sneered, “The Tenth Realm Seer assessment is tomorrow night, and there’s less than a day and a half left. Let’s see if you can prove your innocence by then, Isaac! Zansam, just a day and a half. If Isaac doesn’t catch the murderer, you’ll have to leave Carmine Temple. Agreed?”
“Yes, Zansam, a munk shouldn’t go back on their word,” another chief abbot added, staring at Zansam.
Zansam nodded, saying, “Alright, a day and a half it is.”
He then looked at Isaac with a smile on his face and said, “Mr. Garten, I entrust everything to you.”
“Isaac, are you out of your mind? By doing this, you’ll only cause a rift within Carmine Temple itself. Do you realize that?” Mizar angrily rebuked.
The stability of Carmine Temple was crucial for the Stoner family’s preparations for the opening of the Emerald Realm. If Carmine Temple fell into chaos, the other ancient families in the Eastscape would undoubtedly intervene.
“Shut up,” Isaac said, picking up his phone and dialing Lucas’s number.
“Bring two thousand Dusk Soldiers to Carmine Temple immediately. Bring Apothecary, too, and lead the team yourself,” Isaac said before putting down the phone and looking at the people in front of him.
“Since you’ve given me a day and a half, no one in this hall is allowed to step out through that door until my people arrive,” Isaac declared, pointing at the entrance.
“Mr. Zansam, please guard the door,” Isaac added, turning to Zansam.
Without hesitation, Zansam turned and walked toward the hall door.
Meanwhile, Isaac swiftly moved to stand on the offering platform in front of the deity statue.
From high above, favonovel.com surveyed everyone below with cold eyes and declared, “Now, if anyone takes out their phone to make a call, they will be the murderer.”
Nubique gritted his teeth, his lips trembling, but favonovel.com restrained himself from shouting.
Under Isaac’s scrutinizing gaze, not a single person in the hall dared to make any big move.
About an hour later, the roar of helicopters approached from outside. Ten helicopters swiftly arrived from the west, hovering above Carmine Temple.
Dusk Soldiers descended from the helicopters nimbly. After landing, they quickly positioned themselves outside Carmine Temple’s walls.
Each helicopter carried about 150 people. In just over ten minutes, the 15 hundred Dusk Soldiers had surrounded the entire Carmine Temple.
Inside the hall, people were unaware of what was happening outside. They could only hear the continuous roar that quickly faded away.
Outside, urgent footsteps approached. Then, the hall door was heavily knocked.
Zansam opened the door, and Lucas and Harry walked in one after the other.
“Isaac, what’s the rush in calling us over?” Harry asked, carrying a wooden box as favonovel.com approached Isaac.
Isaac pointed at the Grand Abbot’s body on the ground and said coldly, “Examine the body.”
“Isaac, what are you doing? The Grand Abbot is already dead. Are you going to desecrate his remains? You’d better not!” Nubique immediately reached out to block Harry.
“Baldy, why are you so afraid of me finding the real murderer? If you keep holding things up like this, could it be that you’re the killer?” Isaac sneered at Nubique.
