Jay’s face blanched when he heard those words. Angeline could not afford to worry too much, lest her condition would worsen.Jay said nervously, “Darling Angel, if you’re afraid, we can switch to another place?”Angeline smiled and shook her head. “As long as I’m with you, I’m not afraid.”Jay felt a weight lifting off his shoulders. He viciously glowered back at Zayne who gave him a shock.Zayne sobbed and said, “Big Brother… I’m scared. Please consider my feelings. I’m just a weak man. I can’t fight for the life of me. More importantly, I’ve just married such a beautiful wife. Won’t it be too tragic if I die before I can enjoy my life?”Jay ignored him and said to the receptionist, “Give me three rooms.”The receptionist was overcome by their courage, so she froze for a moment before handing out three access cards.Jay glanced over at Zayne who was shaking in fear and said to the receptionist, “Give him a few bottles of good booze.”He then went upstairs with the access cards
North Capital was very cold, so when Zayne wanted Angeline to drink with him, Jay did not stop them. He simply reminded Angeline, saying, “Don’t drink too much or you’ll get drunk.”“Mm.” Angeline nodded.“Aren’t you drinking?” Angeline asked Jay curiously.Jay wanted to, but he was allergic to alcohol.Besides, this was Doomsday’s turf. He had to keep his head clear at all times so that he could protect everyone here.When Zayne and the others were drinking, Jay unpacked Angeline’s luggage at the side. He even made Angeline some oats.Josephine said coyly, “Big Brother, I want some too.”Jay shot back at her, “Let your man do it.”Zayne stood up and said, “I’ll do it then.”When Zayne brought out a bowl of oats, Josephine looked at the large bowl while feeling dumbfounded.“Do I look like a pig to you?”Zayne complained, saying, “It became so watery when I added water, and when I added in more oats, it became dry. I ended up with this.”Jay stared at the empty packet of oa
When Angeline heard Zayne and Josephine’s cries for help, she quickly stood up and roared with gusto. “Don’t be afraid, You have my support!”Just when she said those words, Angeline felt her body float. Then, she was sitting on someone’s lap. A pair of strong arms was circled around her in an embrace.That familiar hug had to be Jaybie’s.Angeline buried her head in his arms.Jay loved her and hated her at the same time.“Who are you supporting?” He was clearly furious, but his tone sounded like all the sharpness and hostility had been filtered out. It produced an unconvincing, non-temperamental string of words.“I’m supporting Zayne and Josie,” said Angeline.“Then who’s going to support me?” asked Jay.Angeline paused for a moment, her muddled consciousness still able to hold the line. “Whoever dares to provoke you, I’ll beat them to a damned pulp.”“What if it’s Zayne and Josephine?”He clearly knew that Zayne and Josephine could not beat him no matter what, but what his
Jay thought for a while and said, “I don’t mean anything else. It’s just that I feel guilty for offending your young master, so I was thinking of apologizing to him personally tomorrow. So for now, I’d like to ask your young master to excuse us for our behavior.”The man replied politely, “There’s no need for that. My young master does not wish to see anybody.”After that, he turned around and walked away.Jay softly closed the door, but when he turned around, all he saw was Zayne taking off his shoe and using it as a mic. He was hollering, screaming, and wailing into it.Jay’s mouth twitched intensely as he thought about the warning from the young master below. ‘Garnering too much attention will get them killed.’He snatched Zayne’s shoe over, stuffed it in Zayne’s mouth, and tied his hands and feet behind his back with Josephine’s silk scarf. At that moment, Zayne turned from a seven-foot-tall man to a roly-poly. After that, the world was finally at peace.However, after Zayn
Zayne widened his eyes in disbelief.“Are you serious? She’s my little sister, for God’s sake. I’ve seen her wear tank tops and panties when she was a kid. How could I have those wicked thoughts toward my sister?”Zayne felt pain all over his limbs as his face contorted like a bitter gourd. He scolded, “You’re just plain wicked.”Jay’s patience toward Zayne had reached its limit. His handsome face had a cold look on it while his voice was deep and authoritative. “If I continued to let you run rampant last night, then we would’ve been the ones to end up dead, not the young master downstairs.”Zayne’s face became ashen when he heard that someone else had died.Jay roared at him. “Remember this. If you garner too much attention here, you’ll die. So you’re not allowed to drink anymore. All of you act up so badly.”When Jay mentioned him acting up, he was not pleased about it and said, “Since when did I act up?”Jay glared at Zayne. “You treated the hotel like a goddamned karaoke,
As he got closer to the door, he heard the bodyguard losing control of his emotions as he shrieked. “I’m telling you that my young master was murdered! Why don’t you believe me?”“Because there’s no other evidence of your room being broken into. There are no other marks or evidence on your young master’s body either. So your accusations are not based on anything at all. How are we supposed to believe you?”“I saw it myself. I even fought him for a while,” the bodyguard explained, “He’s a thief, and he stole something precious from my young master.”“What precious thing did he steal?”A glimmer of light flashed across the bodyguard’s eyes as if he realized that he had said something he should not have. He lowered his head and remained silent.Jay knew it. That thief did not come to take that young master’s life. He came here for a treasure.He instinctively put his hand on the left side of his chest. The token that his mother gave him should be in the inner pocket of his shirt.
Angeline shuddered.That Yorks’ stronghold might have some relationship with Doomsday. Now that Jaybie wanted to go there, the level of danger was exactly the same as Cole Yorks decimating the entirety of the Ares family back then.Jay knew very well that Angeline was worried about his safety, so he grabbed her shoulders and consoled her. “Don’t worry. I’m going to the Yorks’ stronghold today just to report the death of the young master downstairs to Old Master Yorks. I won’t expose my identity. I’ll make sure that I’ll come back real soon.”Angeline saw through him and said, “Hubby, are you thinking of taking this chance to sneak into Doomsday and find out more about Baby Robbie’s news?”Jay paused.Sometimes even Jay could not help but be surprised at how sharp Angeline could be. She knew him all too well.He could not hide anything from her at all!“Mm.”“Where’s your token, then?” Angeline asked.That token was left by Chloe Yorks for Jay to help him recognize his kin. If
The little girl was no longer chatty. Yorks’ stronghold was located on the apex of the mountainside, east of Peach Blossom County.As soon as Jay and the others arrived at the foot of the mountain, the supervisor poked his head out of the dilapidated management office and waved. “Turn back. The cable car is broken today and it’s not getting repaired. There’s no way to go up.”There was a sneer in Jay’s eagle eyes. He gracefully walked to the supervisor. “The cable car is broken? Then repair it immediately.”The supervisor looked at Jay suspiciously. “Are you heading up in a hurry?”Jay nodded.“What are you planning to do up there? It’s all cliffs. If you accidentally stumble down, you’ll become meat sauce.”Jay glared at the supervisor. “You seem to be reluctant to have tourists visiting your natural landscape.”The supervisor smiled with a guilty conscience. “With all you people buying tickets to travel, it’ll surely be beneficial to the people in Yorks’ stronghold.
