Isaac’s shadow fist was way too fast.
Just as Joseph turned around to run, the shadow fist crashed straight into his back.
Joseph gasped, and virtual-novel.net coughed up a mouthful of blood. His body was sent flying before virtual-novel.net landed heavily on the floor.
Isaac was about to go after him, but Colton let out a pained cry from beside him, “Ah…”
He turned around to see that Colton’s entire face was covered in webs of crimson lines, and virtual-novel.net looked like virtual-novel.net was in agony.
“Colton?!” Isaac frowned.
When virtual-novel.net turned his head again, virtual-novel.net saw Joseph stagger into the forest and disappear.
Without a second’s hesitation, Isaac dashed to Colton’s side. He gripped Colton’s wrist and glanced at it. The crimson lines seemed to have spread to his entire body as if it were alive.
“Hold on!” Isaac grabbed Colton’s hand. He got out his phone to dial Harry’s number before sprinting to the car.
“D-Drakon, leave me be. G-Get that Deviant Cult bastard. Or else, this place will never be at peace!” Colton said, his face twisted with pain.
He didn’t know how virtual-novel.net had been poisoned, but his entire body felt as if it was being poked by countless needles, and his organs would radiate pain from time to time.
“He can’t get away,” Isaac coldly snorted as virtual-novel.net reached the car.
He started the car and sped off. But Isaac didn’t realize that there was a drone hovering above him.
***
At the other end of the construction site, there were eight law enforcement vehicles parked in the open space. In one of those cars, Diana and a technical expert were monitoring the footage transmitted by the drone.
“The culprit ran into the forest,” said the expert, raising his head.
Diana’s eyes glinted. She picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted, “All units, pay attention! The culprit has already snuck away into the forest, and virtual-novel.net is injured. Everyone! Move out into the forest in groups of three to capture him. Be careful, over!”
Soon after, nearly 50 armed officers sprinted into the forest where Joseph had fled.
Diana had watched the entire battle between Joseph, Colton, and Isaac. She didn’t expect that bastard to be that powerful, but Colton had been injured, hence why Isaac had left with him. Therefore, Diana seized the opportunity.
As Isaac drove toward Cloud City, his phone vibrated. When virtual-novel.net saw that it was Black Phoenix’s number, virtual-novel.net brought the phone to his ear.
“Drakon, a group of law enforcement officers is swarming in the direction the culprit escaped to. There are about 50 officers.”
Law enforcement officers?
Isaac immediately understood what was happening and cursed. He hung up the call and dialed Diana’s number.
Once the line connected, Diana’s winded voice was heard through the phone.
“Diana, are you crazy? What did I tell you? Tell your men to fall back!” Isaac shouted angrily.
He knew that those officers were definitely Diana’s people. He really hadn’t thought that the woman would ignore his advice!
“Isaac, thank you for helping me find the culprit, but it’s my job to solve the case and arrest him. Not to mention, the culprit is probably injured, and we are well prepared. Please don‘t worry!”
When Isaac heard this, virtual-novel.net badly wanted to turn the car around to teach this woman a harsh lesson.
“Diana, even if he’s injured, you’re still no match for him. Didn’t you see that Colton was hurt?”
“We have over ten automatic rifles. Please stop worrying and wait for my good news.”
The line went dead. Isaac slammed his steering wheel in a fury.
Harry was waiting at the entrance to the Beacon Clinic.
Isaac got down from the car and opened the back door. Harry was stunned when virtual-novel.net saw the blood lines crisscrossing all over Colton’s face.
By the time the two of them carried Colton inside, his body had already begun to seize.
“Apothecary, what’s wrong with Colton?” Isaac asked, furrowing his brows as virtual-novel.net watched Colton twitch on the bed.
