Spencer scoffed. “You stinking brat, how can you say that? Your dad is old now, yet you’re persuading me to fight? Aren’t you afraid they’ll break my old bones? Are you dying to put me in a coffin?” Cole’s lips started twitching.“Someone who can break your bones hasn’t shown up yet.”Spencer retorted impatiently, “Stop the nonsense. Hurry up and tie these people up for me.”Cole looked at the mutilated pinky on his left hand and muttered, “I don’t want to fight.”Spencer was stunned.For three whole years, he had tried every means to force his son to fight. Either softly or harshly, and even coaxing and deceiving him, as well as intimidating and luring. However...Cole remained unbudged.It was as if he had turned into another person and abandoned martial arts altogether. He would stay in his room to read or get drunk all day. Spencer was anxious to see his son degenerate into this manner.Spencer glared at his son in disappointment. “Even if you don’t want to, you’ll have t
Cole was dumbfounded.No one in the 108 strongholds could hold off his father's attack. This man, however, had managed to do it even though it took him quite an effort to resist it.“How much strength did you use, Old Man?" Cole asked.He reckoned that Spencer had underestimated Jay and went easy on him.Spencer was too astounded to say anything.When Cole raised his eyelids and saw the awful look on his father’s face, he knew that his dad had spared no effort to launch the attack.Cole was losing it now.Now that a skillful and talented man had turned up in the Yorks’ stronghold, they had one choice only—spare no effort to destroy him."Carson, summon the Corvettes," Cole said faintly, "I think this courtyard looks a little strange and unfitting. It doesn't blend well with its surroundings. Blow it up."How could Jay not understand the insinuations in Cole's words? Like black and white, he and the Yorks family could not be fused together.Carson came back to his senses and r
“Do you really believe that he’s a scientist who studies genetic engineering, Old Man?"Spencer was awoken by his words and glared at Jay. "You almost got me, kid. Are you trying to drive a wedge between me and my son?”Jay was not interested in doing meaningless things like that. He was just trying to worm information about Baby Robbie out of him.When he saw the look on Spencer and others’ faces, it was clear that Doomsday did not have a habit of taking their captives home. If that was the case, it was highly unlikely that Baby Robbie was in Mount Pearl.Angeline's eyes grew watery. Now that her bubble of hope had suddenly burst, she could not help but feel immensely heartbroken.At this time, Spencer’s patience had run out. He ordered the Corvettes, "This man has a cursed mouth. If we allow him to go on, he will only end up taking it too far. Blast him into pieces.”Initially, Zayne and the rest were simply standing around watching Jay deceive both Yorks father and son, but
When Carson stretched out his hand to pull her, Angeline launched her ultimate move. She groped her way to Carson's arm, then rolled over him like a phantom snake to his back, clenching his neck deftly.Carson ended up in the same position as Spencer.They had underestimated the enemy!"This blind girl knows martial arts?" someone blurted out loud.Cole was astounded!Actually, he had been paying attention to Angeline the moment she stepped into the stronghold’s main gate.She carried a similar charm to that of Angeline’s, but both of them looked different. Coupled with the fact that she was only a weak blind girl, Cole did not think that she was Angeline.However, she knew martial arts and shared the same agility as Angeline. The question popped up in Cole’s mind once again. Was she Angeline?As Angeline was still weak, she was gradually losing the strength to restrain Carson. Carson took the opportunity to seize her wrist and lift her up before smashing her to the ground.
All of Carson’s prowess and swagger had seeped out of his body. At this very moment, he was just like a coward, running up and down all over the place to avoid Zayne’s fists.Jay let go of Cole's hand reluctantly. Instead of taking revenge, Cole rushed up to Angeline immediately and bent down in front of her, waving his hands in front of her eyes.When he saw Angeline’s unresponsive eyes, Cole's heart sank. He called out softly, "What happened to your eyes, Angeline?"Angeline resented all the disaster and sorrow Cole had brought her. She snapped, saying, "It’s all thanks to you."The joy and delight in Cole's eyes started drowning out little by little. Angeline was certainly not here to renew their relationship.She came to him with such deep-seated resentment. Why else was she here if not for revenge?He grew cautious. "You must be tired, Angeline. Why don’t you stay and have a good rest? We can always talk later.”All he wanted to do was escape—to escape the edge in Angeline’
There was also a wooden sign hanging in front of the bamboo house courtyard. Written on it was the name of the courtyard: Refreshing Breeze!Jay gazed at Angeline who was standing right next to him. It turned out that Angeline was like a refreshing breeze to Cole. Cole had been looking forward to her arrival and here she was at last.A refreshing breeze was something intangible, though! If Cole wanted to win Angeline’s heart, then he could dream on.Jay suddenly held Angeline's hand tightly, his domineering and possessive personality starting to kick in. It gave him a strong urge to merge her into his own body.Cole brought them to the middle of the bamboo courtyard. Jay and the group picked their favorite bedrooms and finally settled in.Cole said to Angeline, "Let me know if you need anything else, Angeline. I will ask the servants to sort it out for you."Angeline said politely, "Sorry for the trouble."Cole's complexion darkened. He could distinctly sense that he and Angelin
At this moment, the secret agent equipment he carried with him started beeping. "An infrared device is detected ahead." The young man pulled down the glasses placed on the top of his head, and suddenly, dense red lines appeared in his field of vision."Damn, are they that afraid of dying that they need to use such a sophisticated defense system? I don’t think even flies can get through this, right? Bad people never die!”The young man swiftly shuttled between the infrared rays, and after getting through the infrared barrier, the system beeped again. "Be careful, toxic device detected ahead."The young man looked displeased. "You don’t need to warn me about this low-level defense equipment. Don't you think you’re too noisy?"The system sounded extremely wronged. "Okay then. All the best."The young man sighed. "I need to get to 48 Stronghold to find that b*stard Cole before I grab the treasure. I must teach him a lesson."The agile young man quickly disappeared into the night.
Suddenly, the wall started shifting and a human-shaped opening appeared. With a leap, Carson jumped out of the opening.When the young man noticed that something was amiss, the wall had sealed up. Thousand Pounder started raining down on him from above. Then, at the speed of light, the young man bolted for the window.However, he was too far away from the window, hence it was almost impossible to escape from this distance. At the very last moment when the young man’s leg was out the window, his other leg was slashed by the sharp Thousand Pounder blades that rained down on him.He struggled to pull his leg out, and the injury on his leg made it difficult for him to move.At this moment, Carson switched on the lights in the villa.He was confident in thinking that the assassin had died from the raining blades.When he saw the empty bedroom, however, Carson panicked and punched the alarm system immediately.48 Stronghold’s Corvettes rushed out at once.When the young man heard the
