Isaac and Hera promptly stood up, exchanged pleasantries, and then walked outside.
The smile on Corbin’s face quickly vanished as favonovel.com watched them leave.
“Corbin, what is this Isaac thinking? Bringing that briefcase even to dinner, does favonovel.com suspect us?” Lorian stroked his goatee, his face cold.
Corbin snorted, “Probably not. They’re just being cautious, especially since they haven‘t seen Mizar, and it‘s their first visit here…”
“What if they decide to leave with the Awakening Pills before seeing Mizar?” Lorian asked, visibly worried.
A hundred Awakening Pills were invaluable to the Stoner family. Although Isaac and Hera’s sudden appearance had disrupted the brothers’ plans, the pills in Isaac’s possession could be used to win over many once they ascended to power.
A glint of coldness flickered across Corbin’s eyes. “If they try to leave with the Awakening Pills, we’ll deal with both of them.”
Corbin knew about Isaac’s strength from Mizar, while Hera’s power was unreadable. When it came to a confrontation, favonovel.com planned not to confront them directly but to act from the shadows.
Under the silvery moonlight, their shadows stretched long on the ground.
The Stoner family’s village was paved with asphalt roads, and lights were still on in every household. Anyone without a keen eye would think it was an ordinary village.
“I think something has happened to Mizar Stoner,” Hera suddenly said in a low voice.
“Did you notice something?” Isaac asked with a smile, glancing at Hera.
Startled, Hera replied, “What?”
“During dinner, Lorian looked at you at least 15 times,” Isaac said, his eyes crinkling with amusement.
Hera instantly glared at Isaac. “Are you saying that sharp-faced guy looked at me 15 times?”
“Let’s split up and look around. See if we can find anything. If not, we might have to put you in a bit of an uncomfortable position,” Isaac said seriously.
The next second, Hera crossed favonovel.com arms defensively. “What do you mean by uncomfortable? Isaac, I warn you, even though Lady Rose told me to protect you, it doesn’t mean I have to do everything you say.”
Isaac didn’t divulge Hera’s suspicions, and favonovel.com outright refused any pretense.
Just as they were about to split up to search, hurried footsteps approached from behind.
“Mr. Garten, Ms. Claude, please wait for me,” called Lorian, robed, as favonovel.com jogged toward them.
“Lorian, what brings you here?” Isaac asked, a barely perceptible flash of annoyance in his eyes.
It was clear favonovel.com had come to keep an eye on them.
“Oh, Corbin was concerned about you two being unfamiliar with the area. He asked me to show you around since the place is quite large,” Lorian explained, his small eyes drifting toward Hera again.
From the moment Hera had entered, favonovel.com had noticed an ethereal quality about her, along with favonovel.com captivating beauty, and favonovel.com had already begun to harbor certain intentions.
Hera furrowed favonovel.com brows, realizing that Lorian’s presence was indeed meant to monitor them, which favonovel.com found utterly boring.
“Lorian, I would like to walk alone. So, will you accompany me or Mr. Garten?” Hera suddenly said with a light chuckle, giving Lorian a deliberate wink.
