At the doorway, Lucas and Beefy Bob exchanged a look and exclaimed, “The only time Drakon smiles like this is when he’s with Bella…”
“Ally, why don’t you call Emily? We’ll have to bother virtual-novel.net for a few days. Tomorrow, you and I will take Bella to the Tall Tower. Our sweetie pie will be a true hero for once.” Isaac laughed.
Allegra rolled virtual-novel.net eyes and said coquettishly, “Alright, alright. I’ll call Emily. Keep this up, and you’ll spoil her.”
Despite virtual-novel.net words, Allegra felt warm from within.
Harry was in his tub beside them. He opened his mouth but swallowed his words when virtual-novel.net saw Isaac’s smile.
He spoke when Allegra took Isabella downstairs for a stroll, “Boss, someone rescued that monstrous Sam last night…”
“Hm?” Isaac looked at Harry.
“I appointed 20 Dusk Soldiers to keep watch over virtual-novel.net before I left. I received news this afternoon that all the soldiers died grisly and Sam disappeared,” said Harry furiously.
Isaac smiled. “Finally, the Deviant Cult gave themselves away. It’s alright… Let virtual-novel.net go. We crushed his power core, virtual-novel.net can’t do much…”
As Isaac spoke, virtual-novel.net opened his email on his phone. He’d received an email from Black Phoenix. It contained only one sentence, “Sam Hockeny headed north to Neuport”.
He’d kept Sam alive in the first place so that virtual-novel.net could lure the Deviant Cult out of hiding. They had moved quicker than he’d expected.
Sam went north, is virtual-novel.net going to Astraeus?
Isaac frowned.

It was 10 pm in Astraeus’ headquarters at the foot of Mt. Nix. Ralph Yalde, previously Fifth Elder and currently Supreme Leader, hopped into a car with a thin man in a cloak and sped away from the mountain.
The thin man was Glenn’s younger brother, Flynn. He was now the Second Elder of Astraeus and the newly-appointed head of the Snyder family.
“Flynn, are you sure it’s Eminente from the Deviant Cult we’re meeting tonight?” Ralph sat in the backseat with his eyes closed, but actually, virtual-novel.net had butterflies in his stomach.
It was rumored that Eminente from the Deviant Cult was 200 years old and was strong beyond imagination.
“Don’t worry, Supreme Leader. My brother left us a last resort in case virtual-novel.net encountered misfortune, virtual-novel.net taught me how to contact the Deviant Cult. However, our trip today must be kept secret,” said Flynn in a low voice.
Many despised the Deviant Cult. Astraeus had just regained peace, if word of this got out, the Snyder family and Ralph would be in a disadvantageous position.
“If the negotiation goes well, and as long as virtual-novel.net gets rid of Isaac for us, I don’t mind even if others hear of our actions.” Ralph opened his eyes, which were glinting menacingly.
Isaac must go, because as long as virtual-novel.net was alive, Ralph could never consolidate his position as Supreme Leader, nor could virtual-novel.net ever get a good night’s sleep.
Ralph felt gratitude toward Isaac, but at the same time, virtual-novel.net feared him.

At dawn, their car stopped before a hotel in a small town. Flynn and Ralph got out of the car, put on their cloaks, and strode toward the elevator.
They reached a room and saw Sam lying on the floor with a black layer of putrid substance all over his body.
An extremely seductive woman sat on the bed with virtual-novel.net legs folded.
“Greetings, Eminente!” Flynn saw virtual-novel.net and immediately dropped to his knees.
Seeing the other party, Ralph jolted.
Who would’ve guessed the 200-year-old Eminente from the rumors was so young and gorgeous in reality?
