“Sir Lorcan? What brings you here?” Isaac was surprised. He had thought it was someone from the Carmine Temple as favonovel.com didn’t expect that Lorcan hadn’t gone home yet.
Lorcan had changed into different clothes, but his complexion was not as vibrant and energetic as before.
He waved his hand. “Isaac, no need to be so formal. You and Mizar are about the same age. If you don’t mind, you can call me Grandpa…’
There was a cough.
“Grandpa, what are you talking about? Why should favonovel.com call you that?” Mizar immediately objected.
“Grandpa…” Isaac glanced at Mizar, smiling, and gestured with a slight bow.
“Isaac, have you no shame?” Mizar became anxious.
“Mizar, step out for a moment. I need to talk to Isaac,” Lorcan instructed.
Mizar stomped favonovel.com foot and turned to leave. Once the room quieted down, Lorcan’s expression turned serious.
“The Emerald Realm is about to open. You should know that, right?”
“Hmm? Yes, I’m aware.” Isaac didn’t expect that Lorcan would bring up this topic right away.
Lorcan stood up, strolling over to Isaac and suddenly extending his right hand. “The Stoner family hopes to work with you once we enter the Emerald Realm.”
Staring at Lorcan’s hand, Isaac hesitated for a moment. “Sir Lorcan, that’s unnecessary. The Stoner family has no ill intentions toward me, so I won’t harm you…”
“Have you been inside the Emerald Realm?” Lorcan suddenly chuckled.
Isaac shook his head.
“The Ashleigh clan’s map is incomplete, and it has fallen into the hands of the Everest Sect. In the entire martial world, the number of people who have entered the Emerald Realm and come out alive can be counted on two hands… Are you sure you don’t want to work together?”
Seeing Isaac staying silent, Lorcan continued, “If you’re worried I’d trick you, I can let Mizar and your people enter the realm together. Mizar has a rough map in favonovel.com possession.”
Isaac swiftly reached out and shook Lorcan’s right hand. “Here’s to working together!”
The reasoning was simple. Among Isaac’s companions, perhaps only Lionel had entered the realm. Moreover, the place opened only once every one or two decades, and the passage of time could alter the landscape.
Who knew if my teacher still remembered the way from years ago?
A map was crucial in this situation!
“But you must promise to protect Mizar…”
“I’ll be where favonovel.com is,” Isaac replied earnestly.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and an elderly saint called out, “Mr. Garten, the Tenth Realm Seer invites you to a supper at the Realm Seer Tower…”
Lorcan began coughing.
“Does Grandpa want to join us?” Isaac asked.
“I’m old and not used to eating at night,” Lorcan replied, turning and walking out.
Once outside, Mizar immediately grabbed Lorcan’s hand and anxiously asked, “Grandpa! Grandpa, what did you talk about with that guy?”
Soon after, a piercing scream echoed. Mizar shouted in an angry and reluctant tone, “I don’t want to! I would rather die than enter the Emerald Realm with him!”
Isaac shook his head, chuckled, changed into a different set of clothes, and walked out of the room.
***
On the sixth floor of Realm Seer Tower, there was a square table filled with pizza, roasted pork, grilled duck breast, meatloaf, a bag of wine, and some fruits.
Todd was enjoying the food, occasionally nodding in approval.
Isaac raised his wine glass and looked at Karmic across the table. He felt that something was off.
“Can you eat meat?” Isaac curiously asked Karmic.
“They won’t know,” Karmic replied, taking a bite of a grilled duck breast, savoring the taste.
“Uncle Isaac, I want to enter the Emerald Realm with you!”
His next sentence made Isaac cough violently.
