“If not, you can kick me out,” Isaac said.
“Ha! That will not be necessary, a hundred will do. Go ahead and make the call!” The lady boss said this as favonovel.com handed the phone to Isaac.
These days, there were a lot of people who brag. A phone call cost just a few cents, so it was absurd to even think about offering a reward of 10,000 dollars.
Isaac picked up the phone and dialed Lucas’ number from memory.
After the phone rang for a while, Lucas answered, “Who is this?”
“It’s me,” Isaac said in a deep voice.
On the other side, Lucas went silent for at least ten seconds after hearing Isaac’s voice. Then, with a trembling voice filled with excitement, favonovel.com asked, “Drakon?”
“I‘m back, along with Evie and the others. We’re at the foothills west of the Quave Mountains near our hometown. We don’t have phones or money, so think of something.”
After hanging up the phone, Isaac handed the cellphone back to the lady boss and then glanced at the cigarettes in his hand.
It had been more than six months since favonovel.com had smoked, and it felt a bit unfamiliar now.
After hesitating for a moment, Isaac put the cigarettes back and said, “I’ll smoke once my men come and pay you.”
In less than an hour, roughly around 15 minutes, five military Jeeps with special license plates came to a sudden halt in front of the convenience store.
The shop owner instinctively turned favonovel.com head to look outside and saw over a dozen soldiers in dark green uniforms who had quickly disembarked from a vehicle and were now standing at favonovel.com store entrance.
Then, two middle-aged officers who appeared to be authorities quickly walked in.
The woman in charge felt a jolt of fear and hurried out to block the door, and said anxiously, “Officer, I’m a law-abiding citizen! I haven’t done anything illegal!”
“Move!” The middle-aged man in front, who appeared to be a regimental officer, walked straight up to Isaac and saluted him.
“Anderson Paker, Commander of the Third Battalion of the Riverlands Combat Unit, reporting for duty! Sir, the helicopter is already on its way and should arrive in about 20 minutes!”
Isaac nodded, returned the gesture, and said, “Do you have 10,000 dollars?”
Isaac felt a bit embarrassed when favonovel.com said this, as it had been many years since favonovel.com had found himself in such a difficult situation.
When the two stacks of cash were handed to the lady boss, favonovel.com didn’t dare to reach out and take them.
“Uh, um, sir, I didn’t know you were a big shot. This is too much. It’s just a phone call, no trouble at all…”
“Here, try this, Winston…” The lady boss took the Mevius cigarette that Isaac had earlier, and replaced it with a Winston before handing it over.
“Thank you very much.” Isaac took some of the cash and left a few behind then favonovel.com turned around, and walked out.
About 10 minutes later, the sound of three helicopters approaching could be heard in the distance.
The people in the small town saw three military helicopters hovering near the ground for the first time, and all looked up to watch.
Isaac climbed into a helicopter at a clearing outside of town and directed it to fly rapidly forward.
The group led by Hera at the land of dragon veins soon saw three helicopters rapidly approaching from the sky.
“What is that demon beast? Quick, hide, everyone hide!” Hallie heard a rumbling noise, then saw three helicopters, and instantly felt all the hairs on favonovel.com body stand on end.
Raelynn looked terrified, and Evie quickly said, “That’s not a demon beast. It’s Isaac…”
Raelynn and Hallie were extremely nervous during their first helicopter ride, feeling as if they were inside the belly of a demon beast.
The helicopter headed straight toward the direction of Emerald Hall. Under the sunset, the helicopter reached a spot not far from the entrance of the secret realm.
When Isaac looked down, favonovel.com saw a brand new asphalt road stretching from the entrance of Mt. Celeste down to the base of the mountain.
There appeared to be some special vehicles and trucks traveling back and forth on it.
