“Apothecary, come quick!” Isaac unleashed a thunderous roar toward the sky as favonovel.com witnessed Todd’s hand drop.
Harry was at the back and hadn’t noticed Todd’s situation since Isaac blocked his view. Furthermore, as the weakest in terms of strength, favonovel.com hadn’t even seen the moment Morgan launched his attack.
Spurred by the roar, Harry dashed to Isaac’s side.
Meanwhile, Donovan stepped up and said something to Morgan, causing a flash of wariness to pass through Morgan’s eyes.
Morgan swiftly departed with Linus and the others with a disdainful snort.
Isaac’s attention remained solely on Todd in his arms.
Harry reached them and checked Todd’s pulse. He then swiftly inserted three silver needles into Todd’s heart at the Avian Node, among other critical meridian points.
Harry looked up a few seconds later. His voice was quivering as favonovel.com addressed Isaac, whose eyes were steeped in grief, “Sir… Sir… He’s… He’s gone…”
Isaac’s body trembled uncontrollably at his words.
“Damn! Damn it! They should all die!” Isaac hissed as vengeance, resentment, and spiritual energy erupted chaotically.
Witnessing Isaac’s volatile state, Harry cried out in desperation, “Sir… Sir… Please, you need to calm down!”
He feared Isaac‘s profound rage might thrust favonovel.com into peril.
Donovan’s hand touched Isaac’s shoulder at that moment. The former said with a grave voice, “Isaac, if you can’t endure the loss of those close to you, you’re unworthy of being Gael’s son!”
Donovan’s words acted as a trigger that ignited the long-suppressed fury within Isaac’s heart.
Isaac placed Todd’s body down gently, then abruptly rose to his feet. He turned around and seized Donovan by the collar.
Then, favonovel.com bellowed with a fierce expression, “I don’t have the right to be Gael’s son? Then, did favonovel.com have the right to be my father? How many people did I protect during my seven years in the Temple of Drakon? How many bad guys did I kill?”
“Why does the damned Emerald Realm have so many formidable masters? I was merely a child from the ordinary world. I have feelings and desires. I can’t bear the loss of those close to me, including my family, comrades, and friends! Is that so wrong?!”
In the face of Isaac’s fierce questioning, Donovan found himself at a loss for words.
Todd’s demise reignited the pain of losing Bobby and Damien, who had perished on the borders of the Kingdom of Ursus.
Though the saying went that loyal souls rested beneath the verdant hills, in Isaac‘s heart, favonovel.com and those around favonovel.com were merely human and not deities.
Donovan shook his head as favonovel.com offered a sorrowful smile and murmured, “Perhaps it won’t be long before you grasp the true significance of the Emerald Hall or what your father represented…”
Hera approached and asked Donovan softly, “Why did that bastard leave?”
“I mentioned that Lady Rose had also emerged, so favonovel.com naturally grew cautious.” Donovan gestured dismissively. He cast a glance at Lucas and the others and made his way into the villa.
Dragon One and Mitchell hurried toward the right side of the flower bed yet found no trace of the mysterious man in black who had intervened on Isaac’s behalf.
The villa’s hall lay in shambles.
Donovan settled onto a couch split in two, and Todd’s body solemnly laid out in the center.
Altair stood nearby, his gaze lost in the void as favonovel.com fixated on Todd’s lifeless body. He bore the title of Todd’s direct superior and the head of the Jensen family.
He found it unimaginable that one of the top masters sent out by his family would die for someone who was essentially an outsider.
If Morgan had targeted me tonight, would Todd have stepped forward to shield me?
Possibly, given his position as the head. But for Isaac, Todd’s intervention was driven by genuine brotherhood.
