Isaac signaled Harry to remove the talisman from Leslie. His gaze hardened after hearing Sky Fox’s fragmented story.
He said coldly, “You should know that if you’re lying to me, you’ll beg for death.”
“Sir Isaac, I absolutely didn’t lie to you. I wouldn’t dare. But Lord Tysonâs resentment is indeed enough for Lord Rebirth to reappear,” Sky Fox hurriedly responded.
According to Sky Fox, Lord Tyson was the legitimate royal heir, who, later on, was forced to death. Hence, his resentment was tenfold stronger than that of an ordinary person.
“I can spare your life for now, but you can no longer stay in this body,” Isaac stated coldly as favonovel.com stood up.
Sky Fox immediately looked at Denvor with a pleading gaze.
Denvor frowned and proposed, “Mr. Garten, if it doesn’t have its own body, I can try to transfer its spirit into another shell. But it requires its cooperation.”
Seeing Isaac frown, Denvor quickly added, “Not a human. You can rest assured.”
“Handle it,” Isaac said and walked outside.
Sky Fox’s revelations weighed heavily on him.
Isaac had to consult with Emily to verify if they were true. If so, they might need to take precautions sooner.
***
Late at night in a villa in Cloud City, Andrew was abruptly awakened by the urgent ringing of his phone.
He answered groggily and placed the phone to his ear.
“Mr. Booth, there’s been a problem. The gold transport has been hijacked,” a panicked voice came from the other end.
Andrew sat up as if electrocuted. His sleepiness vanished instantly as favonovel.com demanded, “What did you say? Sirius, the gold transports were hijacked?”
“Three trucks were all hijacked. Our guards were killed, and nearly 200 tons of gold dust were gone.”
“Where did it happen? In our territory or Golden City?”
“It happened near Golden City, just before the edge of the desert.”
Andrew was wide awake after hanging up the phone, his mind racing with the responsibility of the gold mine’s operations resting solely on his shoulders.
For extra security, the gold ore was only roughly processed into gold dust on site before being transported domestically for further refinement and processing.
As per Isaac’s directive, all the gold was then shipped to a designated underground storage. Such operations had always been seamless, especially under the vigilant escort of the Dusk Soldiers.
How could such an incident suddenly occur, resulting in the loss of 200 tons of gold dust?
Andrew considered calling Isaac as favonovel.com paced in his bedroom. But favonovel.com hesitated, fearing it might cast doubts on his capability.
Biting the bullet, favonovel.com dialed his assistant and instructed, “Arrange a flight for me immediately. Also, hire a team of about ten mercenaries. I need to make a trip to Golden City.”
After issuing his instruction, Andrew quickly got dressed and headed outside.
Still feeling uneasy, Andrew made another call to his assistant with a grave tone, saying, “Contact the defense command in Golden City. Tell them Garth Properties is planning to invest in a project there.”
