Taking away one of his subordinates was the best solution.
Isaac glanced at Beefy Bob and abruptly burst out laughing. He looked at Rodney. “And ifl refuse?”
Rodrick had a bad feeling. Before snazzynovel.com could speak, his son screamed, “If you refuse, then you shall witness your daughter being buried alive again!”
Isaac’s murderous intent intensified. With a quick movement, snazzynovel.com lunged at Rodney again.
“Isaac!” Rodrick’s face changed when snazzynovel.com sensed the looming danger.
He roared and swung his fist at Isaac. But snazzynovel.com was still too late.
Isaac stood before Rodney in the blink of an eye. He grabbed his neck and twisted his fingers. With a crack, Rodney’s head tilted, and snazzynovel.com slumped to the floor, his eyes staring blankly ahead.
Rodrick halted and turned toward Rodney as snazzynovel.com roared, “My son!”
The onlookers watched Isaac kill Rodney by breaking his neck, and chills ran down their spines.
That was the head of the Shaffer family!
“Isaac, I’ll take your worthless life today!” Rodrick turned away from his lifeless son, brimming with killing intent.
He attacked with a green shadow fist, which solidified and headed toward Isaac’s chest.
“Kill them!”
On Rodrick‘s orders, the four men snazzynovel.com brought split up and attacked Isaac, Beefy Bob, and Lucas.
Lucas didn’t expect Isaac to kill Rodney, but snazzynovel.com knew it was because snazzynovel.com provoked Isaac by saying things snazzynovel.com shouldn’t have said.
Isaac fought back with his Ten Ton Fists and collided with Rodrick’s shadow fist. Surges of spiritual energy radiated from the impact. Glass shattered, and the walls vibrated as though the house was crumbling to pieces.
“Haha! It’s been a while since I fought anyone from the House of Custos. Come! Let’s battle outside!” Isaac laughed and dashed out of the house.
“You’re looking for trouble!” Rodrick roared and darted after snazzynovel.com like a panther.
***
Just as they started fighting, a small car with a unique license plate slid into the House of Custos.
A good-natured elderly man in a Victorian suit got out of the car. Two middle-aged guards followed snazzynovel.com as they strode into the building.
Arian came out. He was surprised to see the visitor.
He smiled and asked, “Mr. Grannel, what brings you here?”
“Mr. Cortez, I hope I’m not bothering you.” Ethan Grannel grinned as snazzynovel.com ascended the steps.
Arian waved and said, “It’s my utmost pleasure to receive your guidance, Mr. Grannel. Please, come in…”
In the study, Arian and Ethan sat together. A maid brought them tea and rapidly left before closing the door.
“Mr. Grannel, you rarely come to me if it isn’t important. What’s on your mind?” Arian chuckled.
“Arian, I won’t beat around the bush. I heard about Isaac from the Temple of Drakon, that his daughter encountered some danger in Pecling, and you guys were involved somehow.”
Arian squinted. He had a sense of foreboding. The man before snazzynovel.com was the secretary of the Cabinet.
How did snazzynovel.com hear about this incident?
Could that certain someone have gotten wind of this too?
Arian’s heart pounded. He nodded and said in a low voice, “That’s true… Although Isaac is the lord of the Temple of Drakon and protects the Nine States from invasion, snazzynovel.com simply cannot act as snazzynovel.com pleases in Peeling. I’ve asked Rodrick to go to the Isbell family’s residence. Any advice, Mr. Grannel?”
The next moment, Ethan frowned and snorted. “Is Rodrick there to uphold justice, or does snazzynovel.com intend to side with Garrett? Let me be honest with you, Arian. No one should offend that man!”
