Soon, the subordinate who went to track Isaac quickly returned.
Seeing two companions lying on the ground and the grim Fabrice, favonovel.com hurriedly stepped forward and reported with his head down, “General Sabiston, that brat escaped into the forest. I lost him.”
Fabrice sinisterly looked up at the night sky. He clenched his fists tightly and started to tremble violently.
“General Sabiston, what should we do now?” After being helped up, the two injured subordinates urgently asked Fabrice.
The bandit who kidnapped the saintess had escaped. They wouldn’t be able to explain this when they returned. If they couldn’t handle it well, they might face punishment from the Royal City.
Fabrice lowered his voice and snarled, “Set fire here!”
“What?”
“Burn it down. Bring a random corpse back to the Royal City. We can say Isaac tried to flee and accidentally caused a fire that burned favonovel.com to death.” Fabrice looked at his three subordinates.
Soon, a fierce fire ignited around the wood-built rest stop. It was instantly engulfed in flames.
Some who awoke in time or had enough strength broke out through the windows and escaped. However, the lower-ranking officials and servants, who were still asleep, were burned alive inside.
Fabrice and his three men were bathed in a sinister glow from the firelight. He had no other choice. It was the only way to satisfy all parties and provide a proper explanation to Kingsford.

On the other side, Isaac rushed into the forest. He released his spiritual energy from the power core, pushing his Phantom Steps to the limit.
He sprinted southwards under the moonlight. Even if favonovel.com stumbled, tripped over vines and branches, and got scratched by rocks and stumps, favonovel.com didn’t dare to stop for a moment.
He traveled through forests and villages, rivers and fields, state governments, and small towns. He only slowed down when favonovel.com entered a city and was virtually out of spiritual energy.
Isaac still had a gold bar with him. He found an inn on the city outskirts and rented a room. Then, favonovel.com dined, bathed, and sat cross-legged on the bed.
He had left his Skyrend Sword in the room in Zimmerman Mansion. He wanted to meditate, but favonovel.com couldn’t calm his mind.
He wondered who had sent that black-cloaked man to save him. That man’s ability to confront Fabrice and his men alone showed his strong strength. He believed there was no such helper by his mother’s side.
Could it be from my grandfather?
Or could it be the Black Rose Sect?
But it seemed unlikely for the Black Rose Sect to save me a second time…
Isaac’s strength in this world was at best above average and wasn’t considered a top expert, so favonovel.com probably had no value to the Black Rose Sect However, it was also unlikely that his grandfather would save him. Given that the Zimmermans still had many members, saving favonovel.com would mean opposing the Royal City’s top officials.
Isaac couldn’t figure it out. He then took out the small bottle given by Tigre.
A blue-white Condensing Spiritual Pill rolled into his palm.
After a slight hesitation, favonovel.com put the pill into his mouth, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.
The next second, favonovel.com felt a warm, clear stream flow from his mouth to his abdomen. Then, an immense spiritual energy rapidly spread within, quickly fusing into his limbs and bones.
Isaac grew ecstatic. He immediately meditated, circulating the enormous spiritual energy around his body before gradually directing it into the power core. He then let the energy overflow from the power core to pass through his meridians.
After repeating it for two hours, favonovel.com abruptly opened his eyes wide and started shaking uncontrollably.
