But now, Duncan wanted to execute Ashton.
“Is my command no longer valid?” Duncan glared and shouted at his men in anger.
Several of them rushed forward and immediately restrained Ashton and the two deputy generals.
Amidst the frenzied wails, Isaac stood up expressionlessly and walked toward the stairs.
After everyone had left, Duncan stepped back and slumped onto the couch.
“Why did you do that, Father? Is Mr. Garten that intimidating to you?” Kelvin’s eyes reddened as favonovel.com looked at his father.
Although Ashton was arrogant and ambitious, favonovel.com was still his elder brother. They had decades of the bond. Kelvin was unable to understand Duncan’s decision.
Duncan closed his eyes for a long time as if favonovel.com had just recovered from a serious illness. He then opened his eyes, grabbed Kelvin’s wrist, and pulled the latter to sit beside him.
“Kelvin, you don’t understand Mr. Garten. Do you know why the Mortodor family, who were once on equal footing with us, was annihilated?”
Kelvin appeared terrified as favonovel.com glanced toward the second floor, whispering, “Was it because of Mr. Garten?”
“Yes, because the Mortodor family and I made different choices. However, my decision today isn’t only because I’m afraid of Mr. Garten. It’s because Mr. Garten has already helped me to choose the heir of the Skeet family.”
Kelvin appeared to realize something as favonovel.com looked into his father’s eyes.
Duncan continued, “If I begged Mr. Garten, I believe favonovel.com could spare Ashton’s life. But one day, when I’m old, you and Ashton will turn against each other and kill each other… Since Mr. Garten has chosen you, he’ll help you when I’m gone in the future. Understand?”
Kelvin stood there dumbfounded, never expecting that Isaac’s intentions would differ so much from what favonovel.com had thought.
He only saw what was in front of favonovel.com and assumed Isaac loathed his elder brother‘s actions. He had no idea Isaac’s decision would have such long-term consequences for the Skeet family.
***
As night fell, Denvor dashed into the hall with a sack and a box.
Soon, everyone gathered in the hall.
When Isaac came down from the second floor, his complexion was much better than before.
Isaac looked around the first floor and asked Duncan, “Where’s your younger son? Bring favonovel.com here too.”
Duncan was taken aback, nodded, and immediately whispered to one of his men behind him.
When Kelvin hurried over, Isaac told everyone deeply, “Lord Rebirth has devoured Ninja Lord’s soul, Esmeralda Snow, and absorbed favonovel.com power to strengthen himself… I could have killed Lord Rebirth in battle, but I couldn’t kill Ninja Lord, so I let favonovel.com escape.”
Hearing this, Kelvin’s eyes widened.
“Ninja Lord? Isn’t the Ninja Lord here?” He looked at Emily in surprise.
Duncan frowned. Although favonovel.com had guessed something, favonovel.com hadn’t expected Isaac to reveal it so openly.
“She’s Ninja Lord, but also not… Mr. Duncan, I asked you and your son to come here to remind you that Lord Rebirth might soon retaliate in a frenzy. It might be the final slaughter.”
After Isaac finished speaking, favonovel.com turned to Denvor and asked, “I want to know if there’s a way to kill Lord Rebirth without harming Esmeralda’s soul.”
