The shopkeeper was a little surprised. “How did you know that I wasn’t the original creator?”Jay turned around and asked excitedly, “Hurry and tell me now. Did a blind girl teach you to make this cake?”The shopkeeper shook her head. “A boy taught me.”Jay’s eyes turned dark. It turned out he had made a mistake.The shopkeeper took the opportunity to promote his cake and said, “Mister, I noticed that you’re interested in this cake. Why don’t you buy one?”Jay looked at the cake in a daze, then nodded. “Okay.”The shopkeeper placed the cake in a box for him. Jay swiped his card and proceeded to leave with it.The fluttering snow fell on Jay’s flowing hair, tainting his slightly curled bangs with frost. It added melancholy and vicissitudes of life to his prince-like temperament.His footsteps were heavy as he treaded slowly in the snow. He knew that Grayson and Storm were following him from behind and did not want them to watch this side of him. After quickly crossing several st
Jay slapped the young man’s body away from him in full force.The boy received a heavy blow on his chest and flew backward like a butterfly with broken wings. He staggered when he landed on the snow, but he stood back up with an extraordinary balance.The youngster’s unyielding character made his desire to achieve his goal burst forth.In his worldview, there was no loss in a showdown, only winning.As long as he wanted to win, he could definitely win. In the past few years, his martial arts attainments had been driven by plights with no way out.The boy clenched his fists and suddenly jumped into the air. His body was like a light leaf, and it was as if he could take steps in the air.Jay squinted his falcon-like eyes for the most part. He barely used any clever tricks, perhaps due to his low desire to live. Hence, he flew up and merely collided with the boy’s body.Then, both of them fell on the snow. Neither were winners nor losers.“Apologize to me,” Jay said indignantl
Cole’s vast affection for Angeline was making Jay want to beat him up violently.“I’m warning you, Cole Yorks. Erase Angeline out of your mind. Angeline is mine. Either in this lifetime, or the next, or for the rest of eternity. She can only be mine. When she’s alive, she’s my person. When she’s dead, she’ll be my ghost. I won’t allow anyone else to covet her.” Jay furiously gripped Cole’s collar as he warned him viciously.“Also, Angeline is not dead. Stop cursing her.”Cole was stunned, and his dispirited pupils suddenly slid into sweet spring where blooming green buds started appearing. The vibrant spring feeling awakened his chaotic soul.“How do you know that she’s not dead?” Cole asked excitedly.Jay uttered, “Intuition.”Cole’s spring mood instantly switched back to cold winter.“Intuition, my *ss!” Cole had always been gentle and elegant, even under Spencer and Noel’s influence. He was able to remain untainted and maintained a gentlemanly mannerism.However, his heart h
Storm and Grayson saw that Jay was gone, so they immediately lost interest in the battle. Then, they started chasing after Jay once more.Cole made his troops retreat and returned to give an update on the missionIn Guesthouse Inn.The youngster pushed Angeline’s bedroom door open with a sullen expression.Lil Thirteen was combing Angeline’s hair when the boy walked in. He was huffing with a sullen face.“Hmph, I’m so angry.”He was fuming just thinking about it. How could that evildoer be qualified to eat the cake that he made?Lil Thirteen looked at his badly battered face and was slightly surprised. “Did you meet that general? You guys fought?”Other than the general, Lil Thirteen did not think that anyone from Doomsday could beat the young man’s beautiful face. After all, the young man’s skill was invincible in the military intelligence division.The youngster forcefully kicked the bedpost with his injured leg. He let out a scoff as he grinned. “If it weren’t for my inj
Night had come!Jay wandered along the deserted and lonely street, his physical pain not able to overcome the grief in his heart.He had walked around the little Peach Blossom County numerous times and seemed to be endlessly going in circles.Grayson was utterly worried. “He has injuries on his body, and he’s refusing to eat or drink anything. If this goes on, his body will collapse.”Storm said bitterly, “Master Ares is looking for the madam.”He thought about how he was exactly the same way when he lost Baby Robbie back then.Grayson’s eyes turned wet. “But the madam is dead.”Grayson wanted to step forward to dissuade Jay, but Storm stopped him. He said, “Let him be. He’s being this way because he still has hope in his heart. Even if the chances are slim, at least he’s willing to stay alive because of it. If we destroy this hope, I’m afraid he won’t continue living any longer.”Grayson sighed.At this moment, a slingshot was hidden in the dark.A bead bracelet tied to a le
Grayson cautiously reminded Jay, saying, “Mr. Ares, if the Nine Paintings are handed over, I’m afraid it’ll bring disaster to the Yorks.”After all, the Yorks were still Jay’s mother’s family. Grayson was worried that his master would make the wrong decision on impulse, hence he felt it was necessary to remind Jay.Jay looked at Storm and Grayson’s bewildered faces, saying, “The Yorks family owe Angeline too much. We’ll use the Nine Paintings to compensate for her return.”Storm and Grayson blushed in shame silently. In Mr. Ares’ heart, the missus’ placement was truly unmatchable.Once Grayson was clear about Jay’s intention, he began planning. “Storm, I’ll go and get the Nine Paintings. You go and mobilize the Ghost members along with Mr. Ares.”Jay interrupted, “No. The other party asked me to go alone. It’ll be disadvantageous for Angeline if you guys go along.”“Mr. Ares, the other party has come prepared. You’ll be walking into a trap. How about you let us come with you?”
“Are you Doomsday’s general?” the young man asked quietly.Jay nodded without hesitation, thinking about his duty as a son to repay his mother’s debt. “Yes!”“Then, who are you?” Jay asked him back.The boy approached him one step at a time...Jay sensed the approaching murderous intent. He pulled Angeline into his arms and hugged her tightly.Suddenly, the sounds of footsteps approaching Noblemen Garden were getting more overwhelming. The young man squinted his enchanting peachy eyes and said with contempt, “Your reinforcements are here.”Jay coolly retorted, “I didn’t bring them here.”The young man and Lil Thirteen left without a trace. It was as if they had flown away like sparrows.Jay then heard a few faint words coming out of that young man.“Superior Monster.”His voice was heard amidst the snowy wind, but Jay could clearly make out the last word. “Monster!”The blood in his body immediately started to boil up, and he was agitated.Monster?Noel had brought the C
The young man said, “I’m heading to the Yorks’ stronghold. I’ll first take that scumbag Cole Yorks’ life, then I’ll go back immediately.”“That’s not the task given to you by the military intelligence division!” Lil Thirteen stopped him. “You know very well that if you violate the military intelligence division, you’ll die.”The young man’s expression became heavy, and his voice sounded suffocated. “Cole Yorks killed my dad. I have to avenge him. Even if it breaks the military intelligence division’s rule, I have to be headstrong at least this one time.”Lil Thirteen’s mouth moved slightly, but she stopped herself from talking.After a short while, Lil Thirteen prompted again. “That Doomsday general is absolutely not someone without talents. I’m afraid he’ll try to get in your way if you want to kill Cole Yorks. You have to be careful.”This clearly meant that she acquiesced in letting the young man stay at Peach Blossom County.The young man smiled brilliantly, looking utterly c
