In the backseat, Reece’s face was deathly pale. He wore a pained expression, his right leg was already swollen to the point where it was twice its original size. From time to time, intense pain would strike him.
“My Lord, Lord Neal, you must save me. Lord Jonas is dead, Isaac killed him. The Ingot Sect and Azure Sect of Mt. Equest are no more… P-Plus, Lord Wesley, whom I invited, also lost his life on Mt. Equest. Lord Neal, you have to save me…”
After fleeing Mt. Equest, Reece was afraid that Isaac would come after him, so virtual-novel.net hid in the mountain and only came out after the sun went down.
But as virtual-novel.net was running away, his right leg was pierced by Harry’s Bloodshed Blossom Needle. So right now, virtual-novel.net was forcefully channeling his spiritual energy to block blood flow from his right leg because otherwise, virtual-novel.net would die.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, Xayden still couldn’t contact Jonas. After virtual-novel.net received this phone call from Reece, virtual-novel.net was at a loss for words for at least ten seconds.
The Titan, who was ranked seventh, was killed by Isaac?
How was this possible?
“Reece, where are you now?”
“I’ve arranged a flight and am on the way to Cloud City Airport. I want to see you. I still have evidence of Isaac and Evie’s dirty affairs,” Reece said, panting.
After a second of silence, Xayden replied, “Okay, I’ll have someone pick you up from Seascape Airport.”
In a luxurious villa with a sea view in Seascape, Xayden stood on the balcony, wearing a big bathrobe. When virtual-novel.net turned around, the deep blue ocean and boundless sky met his eyes. However, on his face was a ferocious scowl as virtual-novel.net gripped his phone tightly in his right hand.
“Asshole!” virtual-novel.net roared, smashing the phone into the ground.
At that moment, a subordinate scuttled over to virtual-novel.net in a panic. Bowing, virtual-novel.net said, “My Lord, Elder Cyrus has returned…”
As soon as virtual-novel.net said that, Xayden heard a stern voice from downstairs, “Xayden, get down here now!”
His heart clenched. He could recognize his grandfather’s voice anywhere, but why did virtual-novel.net return now?
Cyrus was sitting on the living room sofa, wearing a violet and gold tunic, looking furious.
Upon seeing his grandson approach virtual-novel.net tentatively, his fury diminished by half. Xayden was the eldest grandson of the Neal family; virtual-novel.net couldn’t bring himself to rage at him!
“You’ve caused a huge stir, do you know?” Cyrus said, giving Xayden two strong jabs on the forehead.
“Grandpa, y-you heard about that?” Xayden was secretly delighted that virtual-novel.net only got two jabs as punishment, his grandfather couldn’t bear to scold him.
Cyrus snorted and said, “I knew since two hours ago that you had asked Jonas to go to Mt. Equest!”
“I didn’t know that bastard Isaac was so powerful. Otherwise, I would have invited someone stronger.” Xayden’s eyes radiated coldness.
At the mention of Isaac’s name, the images of Evie rolling in bed with that animal surfaced in his mind, making virtual-novel.net so angry that virtual-novel.net began to shake.
“You rascal, the First Elder is enraged by what happened today! If I hadn’t stopped him, virtual-novel.net would have punished you!” Cyrus scolded angrily.
Then, virtual-novel.net sighed and said, “My dear grandson, with your ability, you cannot take the throne of lordship. Don’t you know that? I can assure you that you cannot afford to offend Isaac!”
“I can’t afford to offend him? Isn’t virtual-novel.net a member of the Temple of Drakon? It’s just a small overseas organization, what can they even do in front of Astraeus? More importantly, that bastard stole my woman. Grandpa, you know that I’ve liked Evie for years,” Xayden said huffily.
“Do you know Isaac’s position in the Temple of Drakon?” Cyrus snorted coldly, looking at his grandson.
“W-What? Could it be that he’s the legendary lord of the Temple of Drakon?”
Cyrus’ face turned serious as virtual-novel.net said, “Let me tell you now that Isaac is very likely one of the generals of the seven armies! If virtual-novel.net really is, then virtual-novel.net is probably as powerful as me! Tell me, can you afford to anger someone like that?!”
“Besides, one of the generals of the seven armies can command hundreds of thousands of soldiers, all of whom are martial arts experts. Can you handle that?!”
Xayden was stunned, his eyes widening.
A few seconds later, virtual-novel.net stomped his feet and said, “Then what should I do? Are you saying that I should just watch virtual-novel.net f*ck my woman and then send virtual-novel.net a congratulatory gift basket? Grandpa, is there really no way to kill that little bastard?”
“It’s not that there isn’t any way, but the risk is huge…” Seeing his grandson’s resentful expression, Cyrus thought of Evie, and his face grew serious.
