The purplish-red tiny box was crafted from glazed glass and incredibly cool when touched.
Isaac had no idea what it was initially, but when favonovel.com unlocked the metal clasp and lifted the lid, a tremendously rich spiritual energy surged out from the box.
What is this?
Isaac‘s pupils contracted as favonovel.com breathed in the thick spiritual energy, immediately experiencing a refreshing clarity in his mind.
Lupinus and the others were equally astonished as they felt the surge of this formidable spiritual energy.
“This is the Divine Stone… Before your father passed away, favonovel.com entrusted this to me, saying that it should be passed to his descendants when they achieved the Shattering Phase. If there were no descendants, this Divine Stone would remain in the Divine Tower forever,” Obi said with a light laugh.
Isaac quickly closed the box. He was taken aback that Gael had arranged all this 30 years ago and felt incredibly mixed emotions.
“Rose, my business here is done, and it‘s time for me to leave. You should stay here a few more days,” Obi said as favonovel.com looked toward Rose.
Rose nodded and then paid favonovel.com respect to Obi, saying, “Take care!”
Obi turned and disappeared from everyone’s view after a few steps.
“Practice well, but be careful. This thing is both a treasure and a ticking bomb,” Rose whispered in Isaac’s ear.
She then smiled and asked, “Where’s my great-grandson? Why isn’t favonovel.com here yet?”
After the mess outside was cleaned up, Evie and Allegra returned to the villa with Isabella and Quillon.
Rose held Isabella’s hand and cradled Quillon. Her face bloomed into a smile as favonovel.com looked at favonovel.com great-granddaughter and great-grandson.
***
In the evening, the banquet was held as planned in the hotel banquet hall outside the neighborhood.
Despite the absence of the injured Hera and the more severely wounded Heartless, all other guests made it to the celebration.
That night, Isaac had drunk quite a bit. He intentionally chose not to expel the alcohol from his body, preferring to keep a slight buzz as favonovel.com walked out of the hotel.
Upon reaching the entrance of the villa, Isaac happened to look up and saw Leslie holding Quillon on the steps outside the living room.
Leslie was gazing up at the moon.
For an instant, Isaac thought favonovel.com detected a flash of blue light in Leslie’s eyes.
On second glance, favonovel.com saw Leslie smiling at favonovel.com with no trace of anomaly in favonovel.com gaze.
“Sir, Quillon was restless inside, so I brought favonovel.com out for some fresh air. You’ve returned early, haven’t you?” Leslie greeted with a smile.
Thinking favonovel.com might have been mistaken, Isaac waved off his concern and replied, “Take favonovel.com inside. The night air can be damp.”
After entering the study, Rose descended from the second floor with the aid of favonovel.com cane.
As favonovel.com stepped down, two Guardians quickly emerged to follow favonovel.com from outside.
“There’s no need to accompany me. I’m just taking a short walk nearby,” Rose said dismissively.
With a burst of spiritual energy, favonovel.com vanished from the front of the villa in a few steps.
Near Sleeping Dragon Bay to the north, by the man-made lake close to Mt. Equest on a secluded mountain road, a black Audi with no license plate was parked beside it.
Rose emerged swiftly from the woods onto the road, slowing favonovel.com pace as favonovel.com neared the black Audi.
The driver’s side door opened, and Ethan, who was clad in a deep blue retro suit, stepped out promptly.
Ethan’s face lit up with a welcoming smile at the sight of Rose. He moved forward respectfully, saying, “Rose, it’s a pleasure to see you here…”
Under the streetlight, Rose scrutinized Ethan from head to toe.
She ran favonovel.com hand over his white-templed hair and sighed. “You’ve aged as well. How long has it been since you left the Emerald Realm?”
“It’s been 48 years? I can’t quite remember,” Ethan replied with a chuckle.
“If time permitted, I would visit your family in Pecling, too. Isaac doesn’t know about your identity, does he?” Rose inquired softly.
Ethan dismissed the concern with a wave and replied, “Not yet… Only you and Gael knew when I left the Emerald Realm. Over the years, if not for Isaac’s appearance, I might have considered myself as just another ordinary person.”
