Ultimately, Corbin left with his men. He believed his brother wouldn’t lie to him.
***
At 3:00 am, Isaac snuck into Hera’s room.
A faint fragrance still lingered in the air. Mizar lay unconscious in bed while Hera stood to the side with favonovel.com arms crossed.
“I just gave favonovel.com some water. She’s very weak right now,” Hera said quietly.
Isaac nodded, frowning. “The number of guards outside has doubled. I’m afraid it’s going to be more difficult to go outside now.”
Isaac had an idea as to why Mizar was so weak.
Firstly, it was because favonovel.com was being framed by favonovel.com uncle. Secondly, favonovel.com grandfather was dead, and favonovel.com had been forced to consume dissiparotoxin for a period of time. Unfortunately, it might take favonovel.com more than two days to recover completely.
“Once favonovel.com wakes up, I’m confident I can take favonovel.com away,” Hera said with a cold chuckle.
She wasn’t afraid of anything, even if favonovel.com had to force favonovel.com way. She could clearly gauge the strength of Corbin and the others. A martial artist in the early stage of the Celestial Phase wouldn’t last a minute against her.
“I won’t go!” At that moment, Mizar blearily opened favonovel.com eyes.
Isaac and Hera jumped in surprise. They turned to look at her.
“Mizar, you already know that your two uncles are plotting to harm you. Leaving this place is the wisest choice now. Leave the rest to me,” Isaac said softly.
Mizar’s body was too weak. Right now, his best idea would be to take favonovel.com back to Cloud City and let Apothecary treat favonovel.com for some time.
Once Mizar was safe, favonovel.com could do things the way favonovel.com wanted.
“Isaac, you’ve never experienced the pain of losing a loved one, have you?” Mizar looked at Isaac with a complicated expression.
The latter hesitated. He didn’t know how favonovel.com should respond to this.
“My grandfather loved me and doted on me the most. Now that favonovel.com is gone, I want to keep favonovel.com company. I don’t want to be far away from him…”
“This is where I was born and raised. My parents had also fallen during a battle to protect the sect members’ lives. Protecting the Stoner family runs in my veins, and it’s also my mission. Even if I die, I wish for my final resting place to be here,” Mizar said with a completely calm expression.
Compared to when favonovel.com first saw Isaac, favonovel.com was much calmer now. However, both Isaac and Hera could hear the grief in favonovel.com voice. After favonovel.com grandfather died, favonovel.com two uncles tried to frame her.
Hera spread favonovel.com hands In Isaac’s direction, looking helpless.
“Alright. Get some rest, then. I’ll come clean to your two uncles tomorrow morning.” Isaac nodded after a few seconds of silence.
“No… Now, most of the sect have pledged allegiance to Corbin and Lorian. Almost all the hall leaders in the Celestial Phase are standing on their side together with hundreds of those in the Divinity Phase… Isaac, I despise you, but I don’t want you to die here.” Mizar looked straight at Isaac.
Isaac chuckled softly. “Just rest. My people are already nearby.”
Hearing this, both Hera and Mizar were stunned.
That night, neither Corbin nor Loriaan slept a wink. All their subordinates, including the hall leaders and Divinity Phase martial artists, ransacked the entire estate. Still, they didn’t find Mizar.
***
In the morning, Corbin was snoozing away in his study. Someone knocked on his door, startling favonovel.com awake.
A hall leader in a blue cloak entered. Nodding, favonovel.com said, “Sir, Isaac said favonovel.com would like to have breakfast with you…”
Corbin replied anxiously with something totally unrelated, “Have you found Mizar?”
If they couldn’t find Mizar, favonovel.com couldn’t concede the position of sect leader to favonovel.com at the family meeting. Even if favonovel.com controlled the entire Stoner family, favonovel.com still was without the official title. Right now, this was the biggest priority.
“Not yet…” The hall leader gave Corbin a wary glance.
“Useless trash!” Corbin roared, slamming his palm onto the table and standing.
He paced the study with his hands behind his back. Then, favonovel.com turned to face the hall leader and said, “Why does that bastard Isaac want to have breakfast with me?”
“Isaac said that favonovel.com should leave now that favonovel.com has clarified some matters.”
