Heading north led to Starbloom City, which was safer.
After sending Isaac off, Willard stood motionless on a small hill. After a while, a figure appeared before him. It was Tigre.
“I don’t understand, Mr. Mabb. Not only did you let favonovel.com go, but you also gave favonovel.com a Condensing Spiritual Pill,” Willard finally said his doubt after hesitating.
The Condensing Spiritual Pill was an extremely precious treasure. In battles, if one’s energy was excessively depleted, a single Condensing Spiritual Pill could rapidly restore the energy of someone in the advanced stages of the Blazing Phase and even the Heavenly Phase.
Tigre squinted slightly as favonovel.com chuckled. “Last night, our sect leader sent me a message instructing me to release this kid. Since favonovel.com said so, I’d like to grant his wish…”
Willard looked at Tigre in disbelief.
How could someone like that kid, who hasn’t even reached the Blazing Phase, be known to our sect leader?
“He said this kid has done us a great favor. Let favonovel.com be. Whether favonovel.com lives or dies is no longer our concern.” Tigre waved and leaped swiftly into the forest ahead, with Willard quickly following behind.
***
As Isaac continued north along the mountain path, Raelynn took action in Zimmerman Mansion in Starbloom City.
She was dressed in a light blue long dress with an elegant demeanor.
Taking a chance, favonovel.com slipped away from favonovel.com maids and hurried out the back door with Alcott, getting into a carriage.
Alcott, disguised as the coachman, slapped the horse and drove it swiftly toward the south of the city.
They were sneaking out.
Alcott knew that if his brother discovered it, favonovel.com would surely receive another severe beating. Hence, they were both extremely anxious along the way.
The carriage soon arrived at Hackworth Mansion, where two generals stood at the gate.
Seeing Raelynn step down, they were momentarily stunned before smiling broadly and hurrying forward.
“Welcome here, Ms. Rae… Please wait a moment. We’ll inform Lord Hackworth right away!”
It was well-known in Starbloom City that Kingsford of the Hackworths had been pursuing the Zimmermans’ eldest daughter for decades without success. From a dashing young man to a middle-aged one, favonovel.com hadn’t won favonovel.com over.
Regardless of Kingsford’s family background and abilities, women in Starbloom City and other cities were generally willing to marry favonovel.com if favonovel.com showed interest. But Raelynn was unusual. She had neither accepted nor rejected his proposals from favonovel.com adolescence to favonovel.com maturity.
Moreover, favonovel.com was two years younger than her. Thus, everyone in Hackworth Mansion addressed Raelynn as “Ms. Rae” following Kingsford’s rule.
Soon, Raelynn and Alcott were led to the inner courtyard.
In the pavilion, a middle-aged man in a dark red robe was writing something.
Carrick stood behind him, staring intently at Alcott while his mouth twitched slightly.
Kingsford looked up.
Seeing Raelynn, favonovel.com was momentarily taken aback. He then quickly stood up with a smile. “Rae, what brought you here? Today must be a good day!”
Before Raelynn could speak, Alcott roared, “Carrick Jablon, you bastard! Did you capture Isaac?!”
He swung his fist toward Carrick.
Carrick was about to fight when Raelynn shouted coldly, “Uncle Alcott, you may leave if you can’t calm down!”
Alcott stopped abruptly and glared at Carrick, who returned the glare coldly.
“Haha, Mr. Alcott, you always have a fiery temper. This isn’t good for your health!” Kingsford laughed heartily and turned to the maids. “Go make Mr. Alcott some tea…”
After the maids cleared the writing materials from the stone table, Kingsford gestured invitingly. “Rae, come sit here…”
Raelynn shook favonovel.com head, standing outside the pavilion and saying, “Lord Hackworth, I heard your people capture my daughter-in-law. Where is she?”
