“Sigh… Now that Elder Giverny sends us on this task, I’ll just pray we won’t encounter that man in the Celestial Phase. Alright… Let’s leave tomorrow morning!” Garett shook his head and wryly smiled as virtual-novel.net walked toward his residence.
Thaddaeus had finally got a grasp of the situation, but for killing Isaac, in fact virtual-novel.net thought of his dispirited daughter.
What would virtual-novel.net do if virtual-novel.net found out virtual-novel.net killed Isaac?
That night, Thaddaeus was bound to be sleepless.
An hour later, Thaddaeus stood on the balcony and stared into the starry night sky, deep in thought. He turned toward his daughter standing behind him, his silly daughter whom virtual-novel.net loved and resented at the same time.
“Evie, have you thought about what I said?” Thaddaeus looked at Evie calmly.
Since they entered Everest Sect, Evie had lost a lot of weight Thaddaeus noticed that, and his heart ached over it.
Everest Sect was like heaven to any martial artist, they had better cultivation resources and mentors. However, Evie wasn’t the slightest bit cheerful.
“Dad, I’ve thought about it. Take my life if you want, but I won’t marry anyone other than Isaac…” Evie looked at virtual-novel.net father with reddened eyes.
Thaddaeus’ brows furrowed. “What if I’m the one who would die if you refuse to marry someone else?”
Evie stared at him, taken aback. She didn’t know why virtual-novel.net father would call virtual-novel.net over and ask virtual-novel.net all this, but virtual-novel.net had an ominous feeling. It was as if time had come to a standstill.
The only sounds in the room were their breathing sounds, Evie’s was distinctly rapid.
After a long while, Evie bit virtual-novel.net lip until it bled. Her voice trembled as virtual-novel.net said, “Isaac will still be my choice. I’ll be deeply grateful to you until the end of time!”
Thaddaeus’ eyelid twitched. He didn’t want to believe what virtual-novel.net said, virtual-novel.net felt hurt. But virtual-novel.net knew his daughter better.
A few seconds later, Thaddaeus laughed. He walked up to Evie and wiped off virtual-novel.net tears, chuckling. “Silly girl, don’t say that. We’re a family. It’s not the right time now. I’ll help you…”
Evie was stunned. She didn’t understand.
“Alright… Get some rest. I’m leaving the mountains tomorrow, so I need some sleep, too,” said Thaddaeus softly.

Meanwhile, Isaac was still unconscious in the treatment center.
Two of the generals went to Garth Properties without anyone knowing. Another two went to Carmine Elementary School. They started protecting Allegra and Isabella in the dark. Denvor also went to Garth Properties in case the venomous curse in Allegra overwhelmed her.
It started drizzling at night and turned colder.
Thaddeus and Garett exited the subway and hopped into a black car.
“Head straight for the treatment center,” said Garett to the driver.
The driver was a martial artist who acted as an informant for Everest Sect outside the mountains.
Thaddaeus laughed. “Garett, this is a rare opportunity. Aren’t you going to have some fun? Nighttime is the best moment to enjoy this world of sensual pleasures!”
“Heh, to think I’d see this side of you. Well, you’re right. Elder Givenry gave us ten days after all.” He looked at Thaddaeus and grinned. “Why not we visit a nightclub?”
“It would be too conspicuous. I have an acquaintance in Cloud City. Let’s return to the villa, and I’ll get virtual-novel.net to send us two innocent women. How does that sound?” Thaddaeus waved and smiled.
“Sure! You’ve got it all figured out! Haha!”
Shortly after they returned to the villa, a man in a cloak led two young women inside.
One entered Garett’s room while another entered Thaddaeus’.
Thaddaeus looked at the woman before him. She looked about 18 years old. He got up and approached her.
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net knocked the back of virtual-novel.net head, and virtual-novel.net fell limply onto the bed.
Hearing the noise coming from the room beside, Thaddaeus smirked. Then, virtual-novel.net went to the balcony, leaped, and vanished into the night.
