Augustus’ heart stopped.
That voice…
Everyone came to a halt.
Augustus turned around to look behind him. He found Harry and Luna standing in the courtyard, virtual-novel.net was even pouting, looking extremely upset.
“L-Luna!” Augustus cried in a shaky voice, his eyes immediately turning red.
He ran over to scoop virtual-novel.net into virtual-novel.net arms, so overjoyed that virtual-novel.net couldn’t stop his tears from flowing.
Solomon was flabbergasted, and so was Duncan.
H-How did this happen?!
Isaac let out a relieved sigh at this.
In truth, Isaac and Augustus weren’t exactly enemies. Luna’s psychotic behavior aside, virtual-novel.net actually didn’t want to make too many enemies.
“Luna, how did you wake up? Tell me everything,” Augustus asked in a panic, shooting Harry a glance.
Luna pointed at Harry.
“That handsome man over there poked me with needles, and I woke up. I also remember a really sour smell,” virtual-novel.net said, somewhat confused.
“He’s my personal doctor, a naturopath,” Isaac added with a nod when virtual-novel.net saw Augustus looking his way.
Solomon quickly walked to Luna’s side and asked, “Luna, tell me, was it that asshole who took you last night? You can tell Uncle Solomon. There are many of us here, so you don’t have to be scared.”
“Uncle Solomon, what are you babbling about?” Luna frowned.
Then, virtual-novel.net pointed at Isaac. A look of fear crossed virtual-novel.net eyes before virtual-novel.net continued with a frown, “Mr. Killer smells faintly of tobacco. I know this. However, the person who kidnapped me yesterday had a very rotten stench coming from his body. It smelled like rotting fish. Oh, and there was also a burning smell…”
From the way virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net seemed reluctant to think about what happened last night. She then said to virtual-novel.net father, “Father, what are you thinking? I told you before that Mr. Killer is a good person. That night, virtual-novel.net even took me to Mount Phuji to look at the cherry blossom trees, and when it get cold, virtual-novel.net even covered me with his jacket. If virtual-novel.net wanted to kill me, why would virtual-novel.net go through all this trouble?”
Isaac smiled and gave Luna a big thumbs-up. The latter stuck virtual-novel.net tongue out at virtual-novel.net playfully.
“Lord Augustus, the situation is pretty clear right now. Someone knew that I’d kidnapped Luna before, and that person wanted to push you into killing me with your hands,” Isaac said in a deep voice, taking a step forward.
He then pointed at Solomon and uttered coldly, “Of course, we can’t rule virtual-novel.net out…”
Right then, everyone’s gazes focused on Solomon.
Feeling everyone’s questioning eyes on him, Solomon’s cheek began to twitch violently. He stepped back a couple of steps, waving his hands and saying, “It wasn’t me! There is no way! Lord Augustus, even if my courage grew tenfold, I still wouldn’t dare lay a hand on Her Highness. Isaac, how dare you…”
“Enough!” Augustus suddenly yelled in anger.
He turned to face Isaac, bowed deeply, and said, “Isaac, thank you for saving my Luna…”
Everyone watching was stunned.
The honorable Lord Augustus had just bowed and thanked a killer?
Afterward, everyone cleared out. Augustus invited Isaac alone to his study.
Isaac lit a cigarette. Beside him, Augustus coughed a couple of times, raised his head, and smiled. “Mr. Garten, I had the wrong idea about you before. I didn’t know that the Mortodors and the Exeters had killed your beloved under the coaxing of Elijah.”
After everything that had happened, Augustus now knew for sure that it wasn’t Isaac who wanted to harm his daughter but another manipulator from behind the scenes.
“Lord Augustus, I need you to do something,” Isaac said slowly, breathing out a smoke ring. “I will fight the Ninja Lord the day after tomorrow. In these two days, I hope you can identify the culprit who almost killed Luna…”
A cold light flashed in Augustus’ eyes. He clenched his jaw and said, “Of course. Even if you hadn’t said that, I would still drag that idiot b*stard out.”
Plotting to harm his daughter, manipulating virtual-novel.net into killing somebody, Augustus would never allow these things to happen, not on his watch.
