Hearing the city lord’s name, Zaid didn’t look up. With a bitter smile, favonovel.com said, “Is it my time already?”
Zaid slowly lifted his head. First, favonovel.com saw Cairo, who had an awkward smile on his face. Then, favonovel.com looked up further and saw Isaac standing outside the cell door.
Zaid looked at Isaac, and the two of them locked eyes.
Isaac noticed that Zaid, now with half of his hair turned gray and his face covered in stubble, no longer had the charisma favonovel.com once did. This made Isaac frown tightly.
A flash of anger quickly passed through Zaid‘s eyes, but his face soon showed a helpless, bitter smile.
“Isaac, how do you still dare to return to Starbloom City?”
“Uncle, Mother asked me to come. She said the Zimmerman family line should not stop,” Isaac said softly.
Zaid’s heart skipped a beat. He then shakily stood up and looked toward Cairo.
The latter quickly bowed and said, “General Zimmerman, I’ve always said that Lord Garten would definitely come back. There’s no way favonovel.com could forget about his own uncle… Someone, quickly unlock General Zimmerman!”
Soon, Zaid, along with Max and Noel, who were being held in another cell, were also released.
When the filthy and disheveled Max saw Isaac, his eyes instantly flashed with murderous intent. He roared, “You bastard! It’s your fault my grandfather is dead. I’m going to kill you!”
Max, with bloodshot eyes, charged at Isaac with a swinging fist.
Isaac waved his hand, releasing a surge of spiritual energy that sent Max flying away.
“He is your grandpa and also mine. You say I caused his death, but why don’t you put in the effort to become stronger? If I hadn’t come, the three of you would all have died miserably here,” Isaac said coldly to Max.
Max got up from the ground and stared intently at Isaac, his eyes filled with anger.
Zaid sensed a subtle, ominous aura coming from Isaac.
Observing Cairo’ s attitude, favonovel.com realized that Isaac had changed significantly from before.
“Max, apologize to Isaac,” Zaid demanded coldly.
“Alright, go on out now. Clean yourself up and get something to eat. We’ll talk on the way,” Isaac said, waving his hand as favonovel.com turned and walked outside.
It wasn’t until Zaid walked out of the dungeon that favonovel.com noticed the four commanding generals of the current dynasty following Isaac. He was completely shocked by the sight.
In the city lord’s mansion, Zaid was given a bath, fresh clothes, a shave, and a haircut, and then they all enjoyed a sumptuous dinner together.
The three men, who had been imprisoned in the dungeon for two months, ate ravenously.
After dinner, Cairo nervously walked to the yard and saw Isaac and his group off.
After watching Isaac and his group disappear into the night, Cairo plopped down onto the ground. He rubbed his neck vigorously with his hand and then shook his head with a bitter smile.
Zaid wasn’t sure where Isaac was taking him, but now that they had nowhere else to go, favonovel.com was relieved to know that Raelynn and Alcott were safe and sound.
***
In the middle of the large army camp at the foot of the mountain, a torch was burning, casting a red glow on the surrounding trees.
Zaid was quite startled when favonovel.com looked down from above and saw such a massive crowd below.
The four commanding generals, who were even more anxious, looked straight at Isaac as soon as they landed in front of the camp.
Isaac raised his hand and pointed to the right. The four commanding generals turned to look in that direction and saw about ten carriages parked.
Talbot stepped out from the front carriage and waved his hand, signaling dozens of men and boys of various ages to come out from the carriages behind him.
A large group of people, upon seeing the four commanding generals in front of the camp, began crying and quickly ran toward them.
