Linus walked over to Hugh’s room cautiously. He paced back and forth for a long time but didn’t have the courage to knock on the door.
“Now that you’re outside the door, just enter,” Hugh’s cold voice came from inside.
Linus took a deep breath and pushed the door open. He found Hugh sitting on the couch, staring at him.
“Have you not taken care of the ingredient shortage?” favonovel.com asked right off the bat.
Taken aback, Linus replied with a difficult expression, “Mr. Chambers, I don’t know where the problem is. I’ve already sent two hall leaders over, but there is a shortage of two herbs… The entire country doesn’t have it. It turned out that a company had bought all of it and shipped it to Cloud City. As you know, the Jensens and Stoners have moved to Cloud City.”
“Damn you, idiot! Are you expecting me to raid the warehouse in Cloud City myself? Are you saying that the Ashleigh clan can‘t handle Isaac’s lackeys?”
Despite getting yelled at, Linus could only listen.
It wasn’t that the Ashleigh clan lacked money. They lacked power. And they didn’t have connections in business or powerful resources.
But at this time, in Southland, this feat wasn’t difficult at all for Garth Properties, the Martin family, and the Kane Enterprise. They had a huge capital, a network, logistics arrangements, and warehouses.
As soon as those two herbs appeared in the market, they appointed specific people to purchase them and ship them back to Cloud City at the earliest.
By the time the Ashleigh clan made it there, nothing was left.
“Mr. Chambers, I also just received another piece of news. Isaac’s son is born, and Isaac himself even gave out millions of dollars in reward at the hospital…” Linus could only change the subject. He looked at Hugh nervously.
The latter’s eyes widened. Hugh immediately grabbed Linus by the collar and said, “What did you just say? Isaac has a son?”
“Yes, I am absolutely certain. As soon as I found out, I came here to let you know!”
Hugh lowered his head, frowning while deep in thought. This was bad news to him.
The room fell silent.
Half a minute later, Hugh raised his hand and said, “Form an intelligence squad right now. Pick people who have never left the family grounds. They will infiltrate Cloud City and find out whether the news is true…”
“Firstly, ascertain whether Isaac’s wife gave birth to a son. Secondly, find out whether that old woman from the Emerald Hall, Lady Rose, is at the Garten Residence. And thirdly, figure out where the herbs having the shortage are.”
“Once you’ve confirmed those three things, I’ll contact the general and have favonovel.com make a final decision. But from my perspective, the general would never allow Isaac and his son to live in this world. The flames of the Emerald Hall cannot continue burning for another generation!”
Linus took a deep breath and nodded. “Rest assured, Mr. Chambers. I’ll see to this myself.”

Meanwhile, the news of Quillon’s birth quickly reached the Jensens and the Stoners.
In the following days, Shawn, Watson, and Barry dropped by Sleeping Dragon Bay to see Isaac‘s child. Not just them, Altair, Mizarr, and even Connor and a House of Custos representative came.
When Connor arrived at Dragon No.1 with his assistant, seven days had passed since Quillon’s birth.
He was walking into the living room when favonovel.com saw Isaac in his pajamas, lulling Quillon to sleep.
When favonovel.com saw that, favonovel.com was stunned. When his gaze met Isaac’s, favonovel.com burst into laughter.
“The almighty lord of the Temple of Drakon has become a full-time dad now?” He grinned, walking inside.
Isaac yawned. The little guy had kicked up a fuss last night, and Evie wasn’t experienced in handling him.
At first, Holly and Allegra offered to help take care of Quillon, but Isaac rejected it. He wanted to do it himself.
At night, favonovel.com made baby formula, changed diapers, and sang lullabies. After several days, favonovel.com ended up in this state.
“Is there something going on?” Isaac asked when favonovel.com saw Connor’s briefcase.
When Connor said nothing, Isaac immediately handed Quillon over to Holly.
