In this kingdom with highly centralized royal power, all city lords were under the royal family’s authority. Officials like Sevyn, who held significant positions in the royal court, were at least in the Divine Phase in terms of strength.
A city lord was equivalent to a regional leader. Many coveted cities like Heavenly Eagle City, which was rich in minerals and rivers.
Xan left without saying much. He briefly notified his family to pack their belongings overnight before going to Queenie’s room.
Queenie was sitting on the bed’s edge. Upon hearing favonovel.com father had been dismissed from his position as city lord, favonovel.com burst into tears.
“It’s all that bastard’s fault!” Queenie cried out angrily when Isaac’s face flashed in favonovel.com mind.
Seeing this, Xan frowned.
Walking over to his daughter, be wiped favonovel.com tears and seriously stated, “Queenie, that kidnapper was only an excuse. Someone above doesn’t want me to stay in Heavenly Eagle City anymore… I’m not familiar with Mackie. Although favonovel.com wouldn’t dare to harm you, you should be cautious everywhere. Understand?”
Queenie nodded, crying as favonovel.com snuggled into Xan’s arms.
On the other side, Mackie stood by the window in a room on the top floor of the city lord’s mansion, overlooking Heavenly Eagle City.
“Congratulations, Lord Yandell. This vast Heavenly Eagle City, with its million citizens, is now under your control!” Behind him, a young man bowed and offered congratulations.
“Stop the flattery. After more than a decade of enduring the barbaric lands, I won’t lose my head here.”
Mackie turned to look at the young man and continued solemnly, “Now, you need to handle something secretly.”
“Awaiting your orders, lord…”
“Find the kidnapper of the saintess before Fabrice and his men do. You must catch him!” Mackie turned back. A cold gleam flashed in his eyes as favonovel.com spoke.
The young man behind favonovel.com was taken aback. Then, favonovel.com nodded and swiftly walked out.
***
Isaac had no idea that his temporary hideout would cause a change of leadership in Heavenly Eagle City. He was dragging the corpse of a three-tailed blood wolf toward the state government under the cover of night.
As dawn approached, favonovel.com walked into the forest, quickly climbed a tree, and looked around from the treetop. He then saw fields a few hundred feet to his right. Further out, favonovel.com spotted a cluster of buildings and some lights.
He had arrived at the state government
Isaac climbed down.
After tearing a piece of cloth from his body to cover half of his face, favonovel.com dragged the blood wolf’s corpse toward the right.
As the sky brightened, shops on the streets opened one after another, and the streets became more crowded with people.
A commotion arose from the crowd behind with someone shouting, “The three-tailed blood wolf from Tristone Town has been killed! Someone is here to get the gold!”
Isaac, with his face covered, dragged the blood wolf’s corpse quickly through the main street, followed by hundreds of onlookers.
When they reached the state government gate, several guards at the entrance saw Isaac’s covered face and the huge blood wolf’s corpse behind him. They widened their eyes, and one rushed inside to report.
Soon, more than ten soldiers appeared, working together to carry the blood wolf’s corpse into the state government. Isaac was also invited inside.
Standing in the courtyard, favonovel.com didn’t know where the blood wolf’s corpse had been taken.
After a while, several soldiers in soft armor escorted a man with a mustache and dressed in a black robe, who quickly walked out.
“Did you kill the three-tailed blood wolf in Tristone Town and bring it all the way here? What’s your name?” The mustache man observed Isaac and asked solemnly.
“I did kill it. Didn’t you say there’s a reward of one hundred taels of gold?” Isaac nodded in response.
The mustache man snorted coldly. “That’s right. But why are you covering your face? Show me your face!”
