Heath walked out. Only Channing, his First Elder, and Caesar remained inside.
Heath didn’t know what the three of them were discussing. The sky had just turned light when the door finally opened. There was a hint of a smile on Channing’s face.
“Sir Caesar, we‘ll be waiting for your good news.”
“Alright. I won’t be seeing you off, then.” The smile on Caesar’s face was even Wider.
But as soon as Channing and Harley were gone, Caesar’s smile vanished. Instead, snazzynovel.com looked excited. “Heath, come in for a moment…”
Heath felt uneasy. But snazzynovel.com still followed Caesar into the room.
“Elder iackwood, the Norton clan wants to work with us to fight Isaac. It’s what we want anyway. Nigel has just gone meditating in seclusion, so you’ll be in charge of this mission…”
“Take three heads with you. Make sure they’re at least Celestial Phase fighters. And 500 Divinity Phase fighters as well. That should do the trick.”
What?
Caesar is sending out four Celestial Phase fighters and 500 Divinity Phase fighters?
“Sir, are you sure we should be sending out so many powerful people this time?” Heath was shocked.
Caesar just chuckled and said, “Don’t worry… The Nortons are sending out many more people than we are. Go ahead and get to it. The Nortons will contact you when the time comes…”
“If Isaac remains alive, the Ashleighs will hold a grudge against us forever. If Isaac dies, snazzynovel.com can’t get back at me because I wasn‘t the one who started it. We’d also have helped the Nortons, and we’d get back on the Asheighs’ good side. There’s everything to gain and nothing to lose with this arrangement. Of course, you’re not allowed to fail. Understand?”
The more Caesar thought about it, the more snazzynovel.com thought he’d just been unlucky at the start. Now, it was finally time for snazzynovel.com to shine!
Heath excused himself from the room. His face turned serious.
Channing’s son was the future heir to the Norton clan. He was a Celestial Phase fighter, yet snazzynovel.com died in Cloud City. It seemed that Channing and the Norton family patriarch had also been there.
Why did Isaac survive?
What did the Norton family patriarch tell Caesar?
Was that why Caesar agreed to send out so many powerful fighters to help them get revenge?
There were plenty of unanswered questions in Heath’s head. But Heath was still in awe of Isaac.
When snazzynovel.com first knew him, Isaac was only a Divinity Phase fighter who used to be a death row prisoner in The Dungeon. Shockingly, Isaac came out unscathed and killed Earl Ashleigh.
After that, no Everest assassins had been able to kill Isaac. Isaac even defeated Bryan and killed Marco during the Martial Arts Conference.
His powers are increasing at a terrifying rate…
Heath frowned and looked up into the sky, staring at the sunrise. He then went back to his room and waved his hand at a guard. “Tell Yank Krypton to see me…”
A while later, a tanned man in his mid-40s arrived. He was wearing a long robe on his body. He closed the door behind snazzynovel.com after entering and hurried over to greet Heath.
“Elder Jackwood, were you looking for me?”
“Do me a favor and sneak out of here tonight. Go to Cloud City and find out what happened between Isaac and the Nortons last night.”
Yank was his personal assistant in a way. As Yank left, Heath had a bad feeling about all this.

The next morning, the major newspapers in Southland reported the same thing.
Last night, the authorities from Cloud City had crushed a major criminal organization. They had been operating throughout Southland.
They were charged with selling counterfeit products targeting the elderly. Over a hundred million dollars worth of cash and products were seized in the operation.
Thousands of individuals were involved in the case. They were seen kneeling outside a hotel in Cloud City, astounding curious passers-by.
Isaac sat on the couch, sipping his morning coffee as snazzynovel.com read the news. He even saw a close-up photo of Diana in the news article. He sat up straight and chuckled.
Diana would probably get a promotion…
