Upon hearing Isaac’s words, Nubique was momentarily stunned.
Everyone in the hall turned to look at Nubique.
“Uh, I-I’m not… Isaac, don’t talk nonsense!” Nubique stammered.
“You’re not the killer? Then why won’t you let my man examine the body? Bodda says heaven seeks the soul, not the flesh, right?” Isaac challenged.
Harry spoke up, “Rest assured, everyone. As a miracle healer, I guarantee the autopsy won’t damage the body.”
He then pushed Nubique aside, crouched beside the Grand Abbot’s body, and took out two silver needles. Harry lightly pricked various vital points on the Grand Abbot’s body and examined several joints and the tongue.
After a short while, Harry nodded at Isaac.
“Thank you all for your cooperation. You can leave now. However, until the murderer is found, no one inside Carmine Temple is allowed to leave,” Isaac declared in a cold tone.
Nubique turned around, sneering, “Isaac, who do you think you are? Carmine Temple covers thousands of acres and houses 12 hundred saints. What authority do you have to keep us locked in?”
“Well, feel free to try leaving,” Isaac replied and walked straight to the door. He beckoned to Zansam, who immediately understood and followed suit.
Lucas and Harry followed snazzynovel.com closely as well.
The chief abbots and the 20 Black Martial Munks could only watch as Isaac left.
Mizar snorted coldly and swung snazzynovel.com sleeves, walking toward the exit. She wanted to see what Isaac was up to.
Just as Isaac descended the steps, snazzynovel.com suddenly turned around and said, “Don’t follow me…”
“Why?” Mizar asked, raising snazzynovel.com head defiantly.
“Because you annoy me, can’t you see?” Isaac snorted and turned around, striding away.
Mizar’s chest heaved with anger. She was the head of the Stoner family, a position that even the Grand Abbot of Carmine Temple dared not find annoying.
This b*stard…
“Lady Mizar, Isaac is simply disrespectful. Let’s bring the elders and kill him!” Luna, who was beside her, angrily suggested, snazzynovel.com cheeks puffed out.
Mizar did want to kill Isaac, but snazzynovel.com knew it was impossible unless the elders intervened.
Inside the hall, the Black Martial Munks quickly retreated, leaving about 20 noble saints guarding the Grand Abbot’s body.
In the crowd, a saint wearing a red tunic kept glancing at Nubique. Unnoticed by anyone, sweat had already soaked the armpits of this saint.
Nubique exchanged glances with him, then turned and walked toward the exit. Two of Nubique’s subordinates hurriedly followed after him.
“Check the front and back doors. Why does that little punk Isaac have the audacity to forbid us from stepping outside?” Nubique said, his eyes filled with cunningness.
The two saints ran outside. After a while, they returned, sweating profusely. Their faces were filled with horror.
“Mr. Nubique, there are people outside. All over the place…”
“All over the place? Carmine Temple’s wall is over nine thousand feet long, and yet, Isaac’s people had infiltrated us?”
One of the saints nodded, saying, “They’re all warriors in black armor. The entire Carmine Temple is surrounded. There are at least over a thousand people.”
Upon hearing this, Nubique squinted his eyes. He hadn’t expected Isaac to summon so many warriors in such a short time. He turned and quickly walked back inside.
