As Isaac‘s helicopter sped out of Shadowfort, Channing and the patriarch finally reached the village. They saw the dozen of villagers in disguise lying on the ground.
The patriarch ran into the cave. Several minutes later, virtual-novel.net reemerged.
“Who did this?!” His roar echoed through the night sky.
The eight guardians who were still alive were kneeling on the ground.
One of them said in a trembling voice, “Patriarch, there were two people… They were powerful… They had to be at least in the Celestial Phase. They came over with that helicopter over there. They disappeared with the fragment…”
“Grandfather, it’s Isaac! It must be that piece of sh*t!” Bryan shouted.
As the future head of the Norton family, virtual-novel.net naturally knew what the Divine Stone fragment meant to the family.
After Channing pondered tonight’s events, virtual-novel.net concluded, “Father, it must be Isaac… They disappeared after rescuing that witch. They must have waited for you to leave and come to the estate.”
But virtual-novel.net didn’t know how Isaac had known about his family’s forbidden area. It was top secret!
Also, how did virtual-novel.net know the patriarch had left before virtual-novel.net snuck in?
Could virtual-novel.net read the future?
“Isaac… This Isaac …” The patriarch’s eyes shone with cold light. His body radiated a terrifying aura that suffocated everyone.
“Grandfather, let’s head to Cloud City now. He must be going there. Let’s go and kill that son of a bitch and get our Divine Stone back!” Bryan yelled.
The patriarch frowned and shut his eyes. He said in a cold voice, “Since we already know who’s the culprit, then there’s no need for that now. Let’s return to our people and calculate our losses… One of you should go to Cloud City quietly. If Isaac is there, I’ll teach virtual-novel.net a lesson not to steal our family treasure again.”
That night, over 50 of the Norton family‘s aces who were at least in the Divinity Phase died. Over 400 family members had been blasted dead by the missile. It was the worst catastrophe to ever hit the Norton family in a hundred years.

Meanwhile, Elliot flew Isaac and Todd to the airport via helicopter.
Isaac and Todd immediately got on a private plane and headed toward Cloud City.
As dawn broke, they arrived at Cloud City Airport. As soon as they got off the plane, Lupinus jogged over from where he’d been waiting.
Isaac retrieved the Divine Stone fragment from his body and handed it to Lupinus. “Take this back to the headquarters. Protect it at all costs. I’ve already told you how to use it, so give it a try.”
Looking at the small stone in Drakon’s hand, Lupinus found it hard to believe that it was as powerful as Drakon said.
Nodding, virtual-novel.net replied, “Alright. If possible, I’ll notify the other generals…”
Lupinus quickly got on Isaac’s private plan and began his journey to the Temple of Drakon headquarters.
The first ray of sunlight began to spill onto the grounds of Cloud City.
Isaac sat in the backseat of the car with his eyes closed, either sleeping or thinking about something.
Todd wanted to speak but stopped himself. Then, Isaac spoke up, “Todd, do me a favor and call your clan head. Tell virtual-novel.net I want to invite virtual-novel.net and Mizar to my house…”
“What?” Todd said, confused.
When Isaac said nothing, virtual-novel.net frowned and took out his phone.
As soon as the line connected, Altair roared before virtual-novel.net had the chance to speak, “Where is that bastard Isaac? Ask virtual-novel.net to call me. Why were my elders involved in a bloodbath with the Norton family? Where the f*ck is that bastard?!”
