At that time, Magnus and the others happened to be in the living room, waiting for Isaac.
When Isaac heard that the blood-soaked person was from the Yves family, favonovel.com frowned. He waved his hand and said, “Invite favonovel.com in…”
Jeremiah walked in wearing a green cloak, but blood had dyed the green fabric into a dark black. The bloodstains were beginning to turn crusty, and a heavy metallic smell waited from his body.
He staggered toward Isaac. His eyes were red, and favonovel.com was quivering uncontrollably.
He fell to his knees.
“The Yves family begs for your help to get revenge, Mr. Garten!”
“Jeremiah, what in the world happened? Stand up and speak…” Isaac could sense the bone-deep grief coming from Jeremiah. He immediately helped favonovel.com up and took favonovel.com to the study.
At the same time, favonovel.com asked Holly to fetch favonovel.com a suit of clean clothes and to bring some food and coffee to the study.
Isaac still hadn’t forgotten the time when favonovel.com was still in the Divinity Phase and was being hunted down by the Snyder family. At the most critical moment, Jeremiah and his family had backed favonovel.com up.
Once Jeremiah had changed into a clean sweater and had a sip of hot coffee, favonovel.com slowly began to stop shivering.
Under the gazes of Magnus and the others, Jeremiah slowly opened his mouth. “Phineas has defected. Earlier tonight, favonovel.com brought five strange men to my house… He advised me to appoint a new leader and asked me to hand over the other half of the Martial Arts Society name list…”
“When I saw the men that Phineas had brought with him, I could sense that they were powerful. But I couldn’t bring myself to betray you, Mr. Garten.”
The silver-haired Jeremiah began to choke up. He clenched his fist tightly and began to tremble again.
“To my horror, one of them turned around and killed my young grandchild… Then, they slaughtered the family housekeepers, butlers, my son, his wife, and another hundred or so guards… I still have the other half of the name list with me. I lied about going to get the name list and escaped through the secret tunnel.”
He fell to the floor again and wailed, “Mr. Garten, I lost over 20 people in my family just like that. I can’t live with this!”
Isaac couldn’t help but suck in a gasp. He never thought that Phineas would bring people with favonovel.com to kill the Yves family members.
Ever since the Martial Arts Society was founded, favonovel.com pretty much entrusted Jeremiah and Phineas to manage all the martial arts powerhouses. After all, Isaac never put much stock in those martial arts powerhouses in the ordinary world.
“Who did Phineas bring with him?” Isaac asked Jeremiah, radiating a murderous air.
Jeremiah’s eyes reddened as favonovel.com replied, “One of them said that they were from the True Martial Families. They told me to be wise and yield to them, and they’d let me live.”
“That’s impossible! Mizar and I weren’t there. The sect members would never…” Altair sprang to his feet indignantly.
He stopped halfway before continuing in an angry shout, “Could it be the Ashleigh clan and the Norton family?”
“Isaac, what is this Martial Arts Society?” Magnus also sensed the graveness of the situation and turned to Isaac.
“There are many martial sects and powers in the ordinary world. Before this, they were governed by Astraeus… After Astraeus was annihilated, they founded the Martial Arts Society. Its function is to moderate the relationship between the martial arts powerhouses and prevent the deaths of more civilians in the hands of martial artists…”
“If I’m not wrong, they want to start with the martial arts powerhouses of the ordinary world,” Isaac explained, lighting a cigarette.
To be honest, at this point, Isaac, Magnus, and the others didn’t even have to take some of these martial arts powerhouses seriously at all.
