Isaac smiled bitterly and told Evie everything that happened last night at Mt. Equest.
“The Deviant patriarch? H-How did snazzynovel.com end up being Allegra’s teacher? He’s the biggest villain in the entire martial arts world!” Evie’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Her brows also furrowed.
As the eldest daughter of the Supreme Leader of Astraeus, Evie had heard rumors of the Deviant patriarch before.
“I don’t know. I’m as clueless as you are…”
“Don’t worry. I‘ll talk with snazzynovel.com later, ” Evie said with a sigh.
Isaac looked at Evie and sighed in relief. “Thanks, I’d appreciate it.”
Allegra didn’t come down for lunch. Holly prepared a tray of food and brought it up into snazzynovel.com room instead.

Isaac left at 2:00 pm for his appointment with Timothy. He got into his private plane and headed straight for Pecling.
Two hours later, snazzynovel.com landed and left the plane. A luxurious car with special plates was waiting for snazzynovel.com by the side.
A young lady with a beautiful figure came out of the car. She was wearing gold-rimmed glasses on snazzynovel.com face and wore a green uniform.
She went up to Isaac and asked, “Hello. Are you Mr. Isaac Garten?”
Hearing snazzynovel.com question, Isaac nodded.
“Dr. Pollock sent me to bring you to him. Please get into the car…” The young lady looked Isaac up and down before getting into the driver’s seat
They drove toward the north for two hours. It was evening when they reached the door to a hidden yard.
A simple sign hung right next to the door. It said, “Research Institute No. 9”.
There were many different departments in the city of Pecling. Here, the more subtle the door sign, the more powerful the department was, as compared to others in their towers and skyscraper buildings.
As expected, they met with two armed guards as soon as the car entered the gates.
The car stopped in front of a five-story building. Isaac alighted and saw Timothy hurrying over to greet him.
“Mr. Garten! It’s rare to see you here. Care for a cup of coffee with me?” Timothy asked.
“Timothy, I‘m in a hurry, so I’ll have to reject your offer for coffee… Shall we get straight to the point?” Isaac asked with a wave of his hand.
Timothy was stunned. He said rather embarrassedly, “Oh, that’s right… I forgot that you’re a very busy man. Let’s go down to the research center, then. Dr. Hargrove is still on his way. I’m sure he’ll be able to give you a more accurate answer when he’s here…”
“After all, my field of knowledge is more focused on the things above,” Timothy added, pointing up toward the sky.
The bespectacled woman behind snazzynovel.com frowned.
Who is this person I’ve just brought over?
Why is Timothy being so polite and respectful to him?
“Oh, I forgot to introduce you both. This is my student, Elowen Winslow,” Timothy said, pointing at the young woman.
Isaac turned and nodded at snazzynovel.com but said nothing. Elowen felt unappreciated.
Huh? Did snazzynovel.com think I was invisible?
It was bad enough that snazzynovel.com didn’t thank me for driving snazzynovel.com two hours from the airport… What kind of look did snazzynovel.com just give me anyway?
The underground research center was more than 3,000 square feet wide. The height of the ceiling was also at least 50 feet. There were two huge electronic machines placed in the middle of the room.
“The properties of the energy emitted by Prometheus No. 2 were detected by these two babies. They’re the firsts of its kind in the world,” Timothy explained as snazzynovel.com pointed at the machines.
“Dr. Pollock, my apologies. I’m late because there was a bit of traffic,” someone suddenly spoke at the door.
A young man in his 30s walked into the room with two young assistants in tow.
“Ah, the expert is here. Let me introduce you two. Dr. Hargrove, this is Mr. Isaac Garten… Mr. Garten, this is the youngest expert on supernatural powers. His name is Amos Hargrove. He just returned from Mamachusetts Institute of Technology two years ago…”
Isaac saw that Amos was giving trim the once-over. He frowned slightly but kept a polite smile on his face.
“Shall we?”
He needed to restore the Divine Stone fragment to its original form. Or, at the very least, snazzynovel.com needed to know about its power source.
