Late at night, in Easteria Palace. Visorion, whose real name was Alexander Hemsworth, sat on the throne.
He was wearing a blue tunic adorned with white clouds and flying dragons.
Kneeling below were Dannie and Criston. They had just listened to Dannie’s proposal, and Alexander was currently considering it.
“Are you suggesting that we confront Isaac head-on?” Alexander turned his head and looked at Dannie.
Dannie nodded and said, “Yes, Your Majesty. Putting aside Elon and his accomplice Laroy, the woman named Allegra is definitely the most important to Isaac. Otherwise, it was impossible that favonovel.com would take favonovel.com deep into Mt. Danpur to find the Dark Witch Clan…”
“As soon as dawn breaks, we’ll announce that in the afternoon, these three individuals, along with the families of Elon and Laroy, will be executed at the gates. If Isaac is truly in the Royal City at that time, favonovel.com will definitely come to rescue them…”
“If they don’t come, Your Majesty will make it clear to everyone, for national traitors, you have zero tolerance. This both establishes the nation’s authority and punishes the criminals… If Isaac really comes, our nation’s three departments and nine divisions have thousands of experts, plus Your Majesty will personally be there as well…”
“And, if favonovel.com comes, he’ll meet his end too!”
After hearing this, Alexander’s eyes flashed with a look of admiration. He nodded toward Dannie and said, “General Parker, you are indeed wise and resourceful. Very well, let’s proceed with your plan.
“There are still two hours until dawn; if you go make arrangements now, there’s still time. At that time, not only will I personally oversee the execution, but I will also bring the crown prince and the other royal princes and grandsons to witness it!” Alexander exclaimed loudly with a wave of his hand.
Dannie and Criston shouted together, “Your Majesty is wise!”

At daybreak, Isaac was in a deep sleep. He hadn’t had a chance to rest for a long time and was finally sleeping soundly.
Suddenly, a rapid knocking sounded on the door, instantly waking Isaac.
With a wave of his hand, a golden spiritual energy forcefully opened the door, and favonovel.com sat up.
The attendant stumbled in from outside, then quickly turned around to close the door. He hurried to the bedside and whispered to Isaac, “My lord, we’ve received the news… Today, at 1:15 pm, a member of the Salvatore family will be executed publicly outside Lightning Gates.”
Isaac’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and favonovel.com reached out to grab the attendant. “The Salvatore family?”
“Also, it is said that the traitor Elon, along with his accomplice Laroy, and a woman, are all to be executed together! Within the Royal City, the three departments and nine divisions will all be involved in overseeing the execution. It’s said that even His Majesty will be present.”
Hearing these words, Isaac’s initial nervousness gradually eased, and a smile slowly appeared on his face. He understood the situation that was happening.
“Sir, those departments and divisions are where the most skilled individuals in the Royal City are gathered. Criston and Dannie, and even the head of the Regency, Jonah Tyrel, are all immensely powerful individuals.”
The attendant wasn’t dumb. When such a wealthy person suddenly started asking about the highly sensitive Laroy confiscation case that everyone else was afraid to mention, it was clear there was an unusual connection.
The main reason favonovel.com helped was because favonovel.com saw Isaac’s generosity.
“I understand, you may leave now,” said Isaac while waving his hand.
The attendant took a few steps, glancing back repeatedly before turning around and saying, “Sir, I’ve already told the shopkeeper that I’m quitting… I’ve rented a carriage and plan to go back to the old house to take care of my elderly mother…”
“Oh, that’s good. Just remember not to flaunt your wealth. Be cautious,” Isaac reminded upon hearing it.
Watching the attendant leave, Isaac chuckled, pleasantly surprised to find that the person was genuine.
***
The Lightning Gates was the southwest gate of the palace and was also the site where major criminals were usually executed.
There was a saying within the Royal City that went, “In every direction, southeast, north, and west, you will find life, but heading southwest leads to a dead end.”
So, the Lightning Gates, usually the quietest gate in the entire palace, was now bustling with people and crowded beyond belief.
