On the way home, Isaac turned on his phone again. He saw snazzynovel.com had at least a dozen missed calls, and most of them were from Todd.
Isaac grabbed the steering wheel as his eyes turned dark.

Back at Cloud Nine Villas, Altair and Mizar were both furious. But two hours had passed, and their tempers had also decreased.
Meanwhile, Todd was still shivering in a corner. The atmosphere in the living room was too serious and suffocating for snazzynovel.com to bear.
Allegra and Evie were hiding in their own rooms upstairs. Neither of them dared to show themselves. They could sense the powerful auras from the living room. They thought it was terrifying.
Standing in front of the mansion was the Norton family patriarch.
He was an elderly man wearing a white robe. His face was dark and stoic. Behind snazzynovel.com were Channing, four other elders, and Bryan.
The strongest people from the Norton clan were here. Only one elder was left behind to settle matters in the clan.
The Norton family patriarch didn’t expect to find Altair and Mizar in Isaac’s home.
Isaac was also missing. The six of them ended up waiting for Isaac for three hours outside.
If it wasn’t for the three people inside Isaac’s living room, Channing would have barged into the house. Still, snazzynovel.com and the others were this close to losing their tempers.
Just then, two bright headlights shone into the premises. The vehicle entered the grounds and stopped at the steps. Isaac then got out of his car.
Whoosh!
The gushes of murderous aura rushed toward him.
The one that felt the most powerful came from the Norton family patriarch. Isaac turned around and looked at the elderly man standing at the front of the little group. He could feel his spiritual energy getting restless.
“Isaac, your f*cking thief! How dare you steal the Nortons’ Divine Stone fragment? Return it to us this instant!” Channing yelled. His roar was so loud that it echoed all over the villa.
Altair and Mizar came out to check. They both were frowning.
Finally, Isaac was back.
“Isaac, did you steal the Nortons’ Divine Stone fragment?” Altair asked sternly.
Isaac gritted his teeth and used the energy in his power core to get rid of the suffocating aura. He chuckled coldly and replied, “What Divine Stone? I know nothing about it…”
What the hell?!
Todd couldn’t believe his ears. He quickly looked down. He wasn’t as shameless as Isaac. He couldn’t lie through his teeth without his face or body language giving snazzynovel.com away.
“You shameless b*stard! Who else would steal the fragment from us if it weren’t you?!” Bryan roared.
Isaac turned to look at the Nortons. He kept his eyes on the family patriarch and shrugged. He said, “If you insist on calling me a thief, then there’s nothing I can do to convince you otherwise. But that is the truth…”
Isaac was being too casual and righteous that it was suspicious. Altair and Mizar exchanged glances and frowned at the same time.
The patriarch suddenly chuckled. He stepped forward and said, “Isaac, return the fragment to us now. If you do, we will spare you and your family’s lives. Otherwise…”
The patriarch’s face then turned dark and evil and said, “Otherwise, you will regret this!”
Whoosh!
Another wave of murderous aura burst out of the elderly man and rushed toward Isaac like a tidal wave.
