The underground bedroom was filled with the aroma of burning sandalwood candles. Emily sat down on the bed, coughing.
“Why did you come upstairs?” Isaac frowned, rubbing Emily’s back.
“There are two reasons. Firstly, Ezra is Tyson’s advisor. Although favonovel.com is no match for you, favonovel.com must have made many trusted followers over the years. You’ll enrage those followers if you kill him… There’s also Tyson. Even though I‘m not afraid of him, favonovel.com would still be difficult to handle…”
“Secondly, the medium patriarch in Mt. Seraph is closely connected to Ezra.”
Isaac said nothing in reply. He knew that Emily had done it for him.
“It’s getting late. Won’t you get some rest?” Emily raised favonovel.com head to look at Isaac. Out of nowhere, there was now a blush coloring favonovel.com pale face.
The two were very close, and their faces were nearly touching.
Isaac looked at Emily’s face, stunned. He asked, “Can your body…”
“I can take it…” Emily lowered favonovel.com head and carefully placed favonovel.com hand on Isaac’s.
The lights in the bedroom went out, and the bed began to squeak lightly In the corridor outside the bedroom,
Hera stood beneath the wall lamp quietly. Her face flushed as favonovel.com heard the faint noise coming from the right. She gnashed favonovel.com teeth.
She finally understood what Harry meant by “doinking”.

The next morning, Hera sat in the living room watching television. It was a news broadcast about the flood control at Ickshaw River.
Even though favonovel.com couldn’t understand the language, favonovel.com watched anyway.
In the face of natural disasters, humans seemed so small and weak.
Seeing how only rooftops remained of villages and towns after the flood and watching bodies float in the torrent, Hera frowned.
Suddenly, the screen cut to another scene. The announcer on television shrieked, “What is that?”
Hera looked closely. She saw they had cut the scene to show the aerial footage of Ickshaw River. Its dirty waters were surging toward the south rapidly.
In the middle of the murky waters was a dark figure nearly 30 feet long. It looked like a huge black snake slithering southward together with the river. It broke the surface of the water for a while before disappearing from the camera.
Stunned, Hera rubbed favonovel.com eyes.
Footsteps sounded behind her, and Isaac’s voice rang out, “You’re up early…”
Hera turned around.
Seeing Isaac in this state, favonovel.com felt a little uncomfortable. With a cold snort, favonovel.com whipped around and walked outside.
Isaac didn’t know what was up with her, so favonovel.com made his way to the dining hall.
As favonovel.com was having breakfast, his phone vibrated.
Seeing Duncan’s number, favonovel.com didn’t hesitate to answer.
“Mr. Garten, did you see the news this morning?” Duncan said in a low voice.
“I don’t watch your country’s news. What’s the matter?” Isaac asked.
“A huge snake was spotted in Ickshaw River about 15 minutes ago. It’s making its way south along the river right now. Could you please ask the Ninja Lord what that is?”
Isaac laughed at that. “Didn’t you say it was a snake? Why do you need the Ninja Lord’s confirmation?”
“No… From the footage captured, this snake is nearly 300 feet long. Rippan has already dispatched armed forces and biologists to follow up…”
“According to Mr. Melton, the bursting of the Ickshaw Banks might have something to do with this large snake. About 200 kilometers south of there is the foot of Mt. Seraph. We’re worried that this could be some kind of prehistoric creature or a monster.”
