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
As for Swallow City’s Titus family, Grand Asia had wholly absorbed all of their customers and they ultimately racked up a sky-high debt. Yosemite Titus chose to jump off the building to end his life, hence marked the end of Titus Enterprise.Grand Asia became an undefeated force and instantly occupied the global market. Jenson’s finesse earned him the reputation of being the first cold-blooded merchant in Imperial Capital.“President,” Jenson’s newly promoted assistant, Cloud Shaw, stumbled in.Jenson turned around slowly and stared at him coldly. “What?”“Mr. Ares has gotten into an accident,” Cloud muttered cautiously. “A letter from Peach Blossom County states that a certain Monster tricked Mr. Ares and he’s now blind.”Jenson’s eagle eyes shrank slightly. No one could see the emotions in his eyes.However, Cloud was well aware that the president was furious.“Immediately arrange for a team of the best ophthalmologists and psychologists. Also, buy me air tickets to Peach Blos
“Madam Angeline, do you have any last words?” The man showed Angeline mercy and gave her the chance to breathe in some air. Angeline pondered upon it for a while and said, “In the past, I only wished for my family’s peace and my children’s health. Right now, I hope that my children will be able to achieve all of their dreams. I hope that Jens will be able to revitalize our family’s business. I hope that Baby Zetty’s wish for there to be no more pain and suffering in the world comes true. I hope that Baby Robbie’s wish for there to be no more separations in families comes true as well.” The man was stunned. The gun in his hands tilted slightly. “Madam Angeline, wealthy people like you live luxurious lives that are free of worries. How would you ever understand the suffering of ordinary people like us? You didn’t mean anything you said to me just now, right?” Angeline said, “I’m about to die. Why would I lie to you? Although I’m from a wealthy family, I’m also a mother. I love
Angeline said, “Although Jens is young, Whitty isn’t at a ripe age anymore. Whitty has waited for Jens for so many years. She should get something in return.” Sir Ares remained silent. However, there was still an unpleasant expression on his face.Upon catching sight of the expression on Sir Ares’ face, Whitty immediately said, “Daddy, Mommy, Jens and I aren’t in a rush to get married. Jens has decided to get married after having a stable career.”Sir Ares seemed to calm down. Jenson stood up and told Sir Ares, “Daddy, I’d like to marry Whitty.” Sir Ares cast a sideway glance at him and asked, “What’s the reason behind your decision to do so?” Jenson said, “I love her.” Sir Ares’ lips upturned slightly. Not only did Jens’ personality resemble that of his, but his outlook on love was similar to his as well.Upon recalling how persistent he was while pursuing Angeline when he was young, Sir Ares knew that he could not stop Jenson.The relationship between father and son w
Sir Ares stared at Angeline speechlessly. At this moment, their memorable love flashed across his mind. He had once loved someone so deeply. He could go against his parents for her as well. Sir Ares sighed and said, “You really can’t keep your children by your side once they’re all grown up.” Angeline stared at the dispirited man before her. Her heart hurt for him. She reached out to hold his hand. Sir Ares smiled at her as she warmed up his hands. He said in an understanding tone, “Angeline, you’re still the best.” Angeline smiled and said, “Of course, I’m the best. That’s because I’m the only person who will stay by your side till the very end. Gale is such an existence for Angel, and Finn is such an existence for Baby Zetty as well.” Sir Ares said, “Alright, stop teasing me. I got it.” Yes, love was above anything else in the world. That was the tradition of the Ares family. Sir Ares was madly in love with Angeline. However, when it came to others, he felt that
However, when Angeline found out about Grayson and Andy’s marriage, she insisted on holding a grand wedding for them.Angeline and Sir Ares called Andy before them. Angeline spoke up in a touched voice, “Andy, I’ve always treated you like my biological daughter. Now that you’re getting married, I’ll marry you off just like you’re my daughter.” Angeline handed a set of jewelry, a bank card, and a key to Andy. She said, “Andy, although Baby Zetty is married, we didn’t hold a grand wedding for her. I don’t know how other families marry off their daughters. Since you’re a girl, you’ll feel secure after having your own property. You’ll have your own freedom after having your own car. You’ll take the effort to dress up after having your own jewelry.” Andy cried tearfully, “Thank you, Mommy.”Angeline hugged Andy and patted her back as she said, “Don’t cry. You must come back often to visit in the future.” “Alright.” After Angeline finished speaking, Sir Ares stared and Grayson an
Whitney handed the envelope over to Andy and said, “Miss Laurel asked me to hand this to you.” Andy slowly opened the envelope under the sisters’ curious gazes. A red spider lily specimen fell out of the envelope.Tears filled Andy’s eyes when she saw it.The sisters all burst into tears. Whitney said, “I don’t know what meaning it holds for you, but I guess Laurel wants to convey something to all of you since she wanted me to hand it to you. Have you understood what she wants to tell you?”Andy cried out loud, “This is the blood oath that we made at the military intelligence division. When we swore to be sisters, Sis Daisy mentioned that although our fates were predetermined in this lifetime and we don’t get to decide how long we’ll be able to live, we can wait for the sisters in the afterlife after death. We must wait for everyone to gather before reincarnation. We can then be reincarnated as sisters in our next life.” Whitney was touched by this beautiful oath. She teared
Jenson then ordered the servants to search every nook and cranny of Tourmaline Estate and Imperial Capital. Baby Robbie seemed to have vanished into thin air. There was no sign of him anywhere.Sir Ares sighed after hearing the news. Angeline gave up after the long search. She told Jenson, “Don’t look for him. He’s all grown up now. We can’t restrain him anymore. Don’t waste more human and physical resources searching for him. Manage Tourmaline Estate well. You and Whitty will have to take responsibility for this household in the future.” Jenson stared into his mommy’s calm eyes. Although he was curious as to why his mommy, who loved her son more than her own life, could react so calmly to his disappearance, he kept that question in his heart. “Yes, mommy.” After leaving Chateau de Selene, Jenson returned to his room in an upset mood. Whitty walked into his room with a cup of hot tea and placed it in his hands gently. “Jens, you’ve been busy every day lately. You must look af
Baby Robbie nodded sternly. After Angeline’s health recovered a little, Baby Robbie paid her a visit at once. His face no longer gave out a childish air. His handsome face exuded a sharpness that resembled that of his father’s.Angeline knew that Baby Robbie would be filled with guilt for the rest of his life after this incident. She also knew that he would change his habit of fooling around and not thinking before acting. “Mommy, it’s all my fault. If I didn’t blindly believe in her, she wouldn’t have the opportunity to damage Tourmaline Estate,” Baby Robbie said. He was filled with self-guilt. Angeline said, “Baby Robbie, I know what you’re thinking. I’m having the same thoughts right now.” ”Baby Robbie was stunned. He glanced evaluatively at the weak and exhausted expression on his mommy’s face. Somehow, Baby Robbie felt upset on behalf of his mommy. It turned out that he was not the only one who did not have a good eye for people. His mommy was in the same boat as we
Jenson decided to rebuild Tourmaline Estate with the underlying theme of ‘remembrance’. Baby Robbie fell silent after looking through the design plans.“Jens, do you think that I’ve committed a huge sin?” He suddenly voiced out his thoughts. Jenson shook his head and said, “Baby Robbie, you didn’t want any of this to happen. However, you should’ve learned your lesson by now. You can’t be kind to everyone at all times.” Baby Robbie nodded and said, “I didn’t understand the meaning behind these words in the past. I get it now.” Jenson was stunned. After Baby Robbie left Jenson’s place, he paid a visit to Angel’s courtyard. Angel was now around seven years old. She was extremely tall and mentally mature. Therefore, she did not seem like a child at all. “Brother, I heard that you haven’t been in a good mood lately. I wanted to look for you since some time ago. However, look at the state that I’m in. How can I go out?” She waved her sleeves slightly. The furniture within the
Sir Ares stared at Sis Thirteen coldly. His gaze was devoid of the fatherly love that he had always shown her.“I knew that you had a hidden motive when you moved into the Ares family back then. However, I didn’t expect you to be so evil and have such a cruel heart at such a young age. Angeline’s love and adoration toward you didn’t warm your heart at all. To me, you’re not just a traitor. You don’t have a heart at all.” Sis Thirteen stared at Sir Ares in shock. Sir Ares’ scoldings seemed to help her better perceive herself. “You hurt my father. You hurt my daddy. That’s why I steeled my heart and decided to take revenge on the Ares family,” she cried out loud. Sir Ares said in a harsh tone, “Karma exists in the world. Why would I hurt him if he didn’t abduct my children? You don’t have the ability to discern right and wrong. You’re just making excuses for yourself. Do you think you’re being reasonable right now?” Sis Thirteen shook her head in devastation. “I only know that
