Although obedience to superiors was ingrained in the guardians’ hearts, Barrett, regardless of his strength or experience, was among the first group to follow Gael. He had initially looked down on Isaac. He thought Isaac was too young and not strong.
Not long ago, the guardians were filled with confusion and anxiety after Donovan and Rose’s deaths. Those emotions still lingered in their hearts.
However, after Barrett learned about Isaac’s plan on the plane, favonovel.com realized that Isaac’s thinking was far beyond his expectations.
At 4:30 am, Barrett and his companions stood in the training ground of the base. Isaac stood in front of them. The cold wind blew constantly on their faces.
“You may not have understood me well. But I won’t bet your lives,” Isaac said seriously.
“Remember my words, Barrett. No matter what happens, the priority is to stay alive. Secondly, find out where those missing people are being held. If you guys find them, you’ll be rewarded!”
“Yes, Mr. Garten!” The five shouted in unison.
Isaac waved as Barrett led the way. After turning around, they disappeared into the training ground.
The House of Custos had coordinated the handover of the base’s main command room to Isaac and the others.
Pipeline No. 3 was less than 20 kilometers away, making it the closest site. Additionally, there were some military monitoring devices here that might detect enemy movements.
Moreover, Morgan’s men were not fools. They wouldn’t recklessly intrude into a military base. So, it became Isaac’s best choice of location.
After the death squad set off, Isaac had no intention of resting, but Lucifer was more anxious than him.
Just as favonovel.com returned to his room, there was a knock on the door.
Lucifer quickly entered and said seriously, “Those are only a hundred ordinary people. Why have you sent out five guardians? If Morgan finds out, your drilling plan will be ruined in no time. More importantly, my members may face extinction.”
“Then what else can we do?” Isaac sat down in a chair and looked coldly at Lucifer.
“What do you mean?” Lucifer frowned.
Isaac stood up and lit a cigarette. “Do you know why those over a hundred people are risking their lives to come to this deep mountain forest?”
“They’re for your clan members… Don’t only think of them as ordinary people. There are more than a hundred families behind them. More importantly, those few who know how to operate drilling equipment have all been captured. We don’t know if they’re alive.”
Isaac scowled as favonovel.com noticed Lucifer’s silence. “Nothing is absolute. It’s the most dangerous situation if we don’t find those missing people. That includes your members.”
Lucifer’s expression darkened, but favonovel.com knew favonovel.com couldn’t change Isaac’s mind.
“Since you insist on acting in this way, I’ll find another way.” Lucifer snorted coldly and quickly walked out.
Isaac frowned even more as favonovel.com watched Lucifer leave so swiftly. He wondered what that big guy would do.

On the other side, Barrett and his companions quickly approached Mt. Celeste’s entrance under the cover of night.
Barrett, however, abruptly halted as they approached the entrance.
“Barrett, why did you stop?” a guardian behind favonovel.com whispered.
Barrett shook his head. “Something is wrong. There isn’t much food in the secret realm. Morgan’s people would find it difficult to manage over a hundred people eating and drinking.
“Gabino, come with me into the secret realm. The rest of you spread out and look for caves.”
