Isaac understood the reason for Altair’s visit.
After Lorcan’s fatal incident at Emerald Gate and his subsequent funeral back at the Stoner family’s mansion, Mizar’s two uncles had started to stir up things. They spread rumors, suggesting Lorcan’s granddaughter, Mizar, could’ve plotted his death.
Coupled with Mizar’s lack of skills in winning people over, the family’s internal conflicts erupted within days.
Now, Mizar was unreachable, and there were whispers within the Stoner family about electing a new head. Mizar’s life would be in danger if a new head were indeed appointed.
Isaac’s expression turned grim, feeling responsible for Lorcan’s death.
“Isaac, what are you still pondering? Aren’t we comrades? Aren’t we pals?” Altair said anxiously.
“Go back for now. I’ll make a trip to the Stoner family myself,” Isaac told Altair, thinking about the best way to approach the situation.
Going directly to find Mizar wouldn’t be wise. If favonovel.com was indeed being controlled, it could put favonovel.com in even more danger.
After Altair left, Isaac entered his study.
The cigarette burned slowly, and a sudden inspiration struck him.
He had promised to deliver 200 Awakening Pills annually to the Stoner family but had only sent a hundred so far, owing them another hundred.
Isaac quickly picked up his phone and dialed Harry’s number.
“Prepare a hundred Awakening Pills. Pack them, and I’ll pick them up first thing in the morning… Actually, make it an hour from now.”
Isaac had planned to spend the evening with Evie, especially since favonovel.com had been traumatized recently, but favonovel.com was unsure about Mizar’s current situation.
Isaac knew favonovel.com wouldn‘t be at peace if Mizar was indeed in danger due to Lorcan’s death.
Hera hadn’t returned for dinner, and Isaac, not knowing where favonovel.com had gone, called her. Then, favonovel.com summoned Todd to the study.
“You’re going to the Stoner family? What for? Taking Hera with you and leaving me here?” Todd complained, his face showing dissatisfaction.
He prided himself as a wanderer of the northwest, always seeking adventures and thrilling experiences.
Isaac briefly relayed what Altair had told him, and Todd wilted. Although favonovel.com was with Isaac, favonovel.com was still part of the Jensen family. It could cause unnecessary complications if favonovel.com were to accompany Isaac to visit the Stoner family.
Isaac had a quick discussion of the situation with Evie and Allegra.
As soon as Hera returned, favonovel.com and Isaac immediately left the house.
“Weren’t you supposed to be home tonight? Why do I have to go out with you again?” Hera complained, sitting in the passenger seat.
She reeked of cigarettes and alcohol, and Isaac didn’t need to ask to know favonovel.com had been to a bar. But favonovel.com wasn’t worried about Hera encountering trouble in a bar. If anything, favonovel.com was more concerned for those who might cross favonovel.com path.
“There’s been a change of plans. A friend of mine might be in danger, and I need to assess the situation,” Isaac explained, then detailed the issues within the Stoner family.
After hearing this, Hera scoffed, “So, someone from the lower ranks wanted to usurp the position? How boring…”
The position of a family head seemed trivial to someone of Hera’s strength, hence favonovel.com remark about it being boring.
Taking a silver briefcase from Harry, Isaac and Hera headed straight for the airport.
They landed at Eastscape International Airport around midnight. Since they were in a rush, they didn’t stay near the airport but rented a car and sped toward the Stoner family’s residence.
***
Although the Stoners and Jensens were from the northern region, their lifestyles differed slightly.
The Jensens leaned more toward a nomadic way of life, sometimes living without a fixed abode and migrating with the changes of the seasons.
