“I’ve spotted a group of ten heading downstairs as well.” Dragon One’s voice also came through the earpiece.
Isaac responded with a firm tone, “Then, everyone, converge here. We can’t afford to be picked off individually. Apothecary, how long until your noxious fume begins to take effect?”
Harry replied as favonovel.com breathed heavily, “About 20 minutes should do it.”
Isaac felt a wave of urgency wash over him.
It had been merely ten minutes since the Noxious Fume Formation was initiated, leaving another ten minutes before the poisonous smoke would start to affect their enemies.
Those ten minutes were too long in Isaac’s mind!
The Noxious Fume Formation was compromised soon enough. Hugh, along with Linus and the rest, made their way back to Dragon Villa No. 1.
Gazing inside, Hugh found Isaac already positioned on the steps. Behind favonovel.com were Todd, Hera, Harry, Altair, and the generals, each emanating an intense, battle-ready presence.
“Hugh, you’re already branded as a criminal by the Emerald Hall. Should you dare to harm Mr. Garten today, you’ll live to regret it for the rest of your life!” Hera warned Hugh.
Being from the Emerald Hall herself, Hera was naturally familiar with his past.
Upon hearing that, Hugh laughed out loud. His demeanor quickly turned menacing as favonovel.com retorted, “‘Mr. Garten’? Is favonovel.com even worthy of that name? To me, he’s nothing but a mutt, the offspring of the Emerald Hall’s lord and some unknown woman.”
Hera’s body trembled with rage in response to Hugh’s bold and malicious remarks. However, Isaac stepped forward with his hands clasped behind his back.
He calmly faced Hugh as favonovel.com inquired, “Where is the mastermind behind you? If you intend to kill me, at least grant me an understanding of why… I visited the Emerald Hall only once in my entire life, and it now lay in ruins. Surely, I haven’t incited such a profound enmity or grievance with your boss, have I?”
Hera and Todd glanced at Isaac. They were puzzled by his sudden, unusual verbosity.
Only Harry understood that Isaac was attempting to buy time.
Hugh regarded Isaac with a cold sneer. “Do you think I can’t tell that you’re just trying to delay time by deploying some poisonous smoke and babbling so much nonsense now?”
“Isaac, regardless of any hatred, your fate was sealed the moment you were born as Gael’s son. Enough with the nonsense. Everyone, attack! Kill him!” Hugh raised his hand, signaling the attack on Isaac.
Linus, Tyger, and several others were fueled by a longstanding loathing for Isaac. They were impatient for retribution and could hardly wait to act
“Kill him!”
“Kill Isaac!”
The three patriarchs bellowed in unison. A chilling air of murderous intent swiftly enveloped the surroundings of Dragon Villa No. 1.
The 300 Celestial Phase warriors unleashed their formidable spiritual energy and surged toward Isaac and his group.
Phineas, who was positioned at the vanguard and most eager for Isaac’s demise, felt a sudden, excruciating pain in his abdomen as favonovel.com raised his fist. This intense discomfort immediately immobilized favonovel.com and caused favonovel.com to collapse.
Over 300 Celestial Phase warriors emitted cries of anguish a second later, toppling one by one.
Like Phineas, those on the front line also collapsed at the steps before Isaac.
Phineas’ veins popped on his face and forehead, and black blood seeped from his nose and mouth. Yet, favonovel.com extended his right hand in a futile attempt to grasp Isaac.
“In the pursuit of martial arts, there are no shortcuts like the one you’ve taken. Your destiny was decided the moment you turned against me…” Isaac declared to Phineas with an icy voice.
Hugh, Linus, and the other patriarchs watched this unfold and were completely taken aback by the sudden turn of events.
