Todd’s energy was slightly more intense than Isaac’s. After all, his cultivation level was one stage higher than Isaac’s.
Hearing his roar, many noble saints in the hall turned their attention to Todd.
Nubique’s mouth twitched violently as favonovel.com pointed to his nose and asked, “Are you calling me?”
“Is there another baldy Nubique in here?” Todd looked around.
“You mean Isaac wants to talk to me?” Nubique was in deep trouble.
I am one of the four chief abbots of Carmine Temple. Among the hundred thousand saints in the Gilded Sect, I hold the highest position after the Realm Seer and the Grand Abbot…
And now, this punk dared to call me “baldy”?!
“Isaac said that whoever doesn’t go for questioning is the murderer,” Todd declared, directly challenging Nubique’s authority.
Nubique took a deep breath and sneered at the munks around him, “Don’t worry, everyone. Isaac’s just puffing himself up. He won’t be able to find the real culprit!”
“After dark tomorrow, Zansam will voluntarily step down as chief abbot. And Isaac, the murderer, will die!” Nubique added with a confident sneer.
“Make sure you are all lined up inside. I’ll call you one by one in a moment,” Todd reminded, raising his hand to gesture toward the room. He then turned and led Nubique outside.
In the room, Nubique looked at Isaac with arrogance written all over his face.
Meanwhile, Isaac sat in the opposite chair, holding a cup of coffee and saying no word.
This silent standoff lasted for more than ten minutes.
“Isaac, why did you call me here? As the chief abbot, I don’t have time to waste with you!” Nubique gritted his teeth, demanding an answer.
“The time is almost up. You can leave now…” Isaac waved his hand dismissively.
As soon as Isaac finished speaking, Nubique seethed in anger. He was rushed over here, only to have a silent staring contest with Isaac for over ten minutes.
“Let’s go. Do you want to stay for dinner?” Todd coldly said as favonovel.com approached Nubique.
Once Nubique left, a Dusk Soldier entered the room. He went to the chair where Nubique had sat, tore off a thin layer of plastic film from the armrest, and replaced it with a new one. Even Zansam didn’t know that Isaac had called them in not for questioning but to collect fingerprints.
Next, the remaining two chief abbots also entered the room one after another. Isaac didn’t ask anything, letting them sit in the chair for more than ten minutes before calling the next one.
Soon, a red-robed saint entered the room.
Isaac, feeling drowsy, lifted his head and looked at the newcomer.
“Are you Casano? How long have you been with the Grand Abbot?”
This person was one of the three close disciples of the Grand Abbot. All the people before were just for show and distraction. These three were the prime suspects.
Casano looked at Isaac and calmly replied, “13 years…”
“After the Grand Abbot and I finished our breakfast, did you have any contact with him?” Isaac asked.
Casano froze. The others said they were only told to stay quiet and sit in the chair for over ten minutes.
Why is this Isaac questioning me now?
Casano became nervous. As the Grand Abbot’s close disciple, people would naturally suspect favonovel.com the most.
“N-No. After breakfast, I went to the Embellished Tower to fetch scriptures for him. I was still on the way when I heard about Grand Abbot’s accident,” Casano hurriedly explained.
