“G-Ghost!” Edward sprung up from his seat, even though his leg was still in a plaster cast.
“So, you’re attending the funeral tomorrow, huh? With your leg in this state, too. How inconvenient. Perhaps I should accompany you…” Isaac smirked.
Edward pointed at Isaac, virtual-novel.net was scared stiff. Frightened, virtual-novel.net asked, “W-What do you want?!”
“You do know that Ally is your niece, right? But again, I guess none of you have a kind heart in you, anyway. Her leg was bleeding, too,” said Isaac as virtual-novel.net glanced at Edward’s injured leg.
Edward’s eyes widened as Isaac aimed and trampled on his injured leg.
There were multiple loud cracks, like someone treading on dry branches. Edward shut his eyes, veins popping up across his temple, and let out a piercing shriek.
“I’ll be here tomorrow morning, we’ll attend the funeral together. You might want to give Horace a head’s up that I’m still alive,” said Isaac as virtual-novel.net left.
Getting rid of Edward was as easy as pie for Isaac, but Edward didn’t deserve a painless death now, did he?
***
Allegra spotted Isaac. Although virtual-novel.net was in tremendous pain, virtual-novel.net asked worriedly, “What did you do?”
Allegra thought virtual-novel.net heard a yell coming from the direction of the house, even though virtual-novel.net was in the car, but wasn’t sure if virtual-novel.net heard it right.
“Oh, I caught up with your uncle. He told me he’s doing fine…”
Beefy Bob’s mouth twitched as virtual-novel.net started the car, virtual-novel.net knew Isaac was already burning with anger.
Beefy Bob went directly to Springview Clinic, where Harry and his trainees were waiting at the entrance, his trainees were double his age.
Allegra knew Harry’s skills were out of this world. Isaac helped virtual-novel.net into the clinic.
She had just laid on the bed and yet to say anything when Isaac said, “We’ll bring your father here as soon as possible. Everything will be fine.”
Allegra heaved a sigh of relief.
Margaret and Andrew were nowhere to be seen since last night, virtual-novel.net even left Andrew a message. She didn’t want virtual-novel.net father to be disappointed.
While they settle down, a black luxury car stopped in front of the Third Office of Astraeus.
Two young men got off the car and immediately opened the backseat door. A middle-aged man in an indigo robe got out, glowering as virtual-novel.net briskly walked into the building.
Four Astraeus members were waiting at the entrance. They were relieved when they saw the man.
They walked up to virtual-novel.net and bowed, greeting him, “Welcome back, sir…”
“Cut the crap, let’s talk inside.” The man they greeted waved them off and ascended the steps. He was the head of South Division, Reece Bullock.
Once his gaze fell on the white sheet covering the body, Reece’s eyes turned frosty.
“Sir, Mr. Atkins upheld our honor till the last moments of his life… Those bastards really went overboard, they ended his life with a stomp.” One of the members wiped his tears as virtual-novel.net complained.
They were unaware of the relationship between Reece and Cody, besides having a superior-subordinate relationship, their friendship went back several decades.
About 20 years ago, they trained together in a school on Mt. Pente. Then, together, they involved themselves in the world of ancient martial arts, and finally, Astraeus invited them to join the organization.
They were like brothers to each other for the past 20 years.
“No matter how high-ranking the other party is, I’ll definitely avenge our assistant division head. Inform all members of South Division to gather here by midnight!” Reece signaled, and the dozen people around virtual-novel.net were startled.
