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
That night, he was finally able to sleep with her in his arms.By the time it was morning, Jay was still fast asleep.Then, he heard a magnetic voice coming from the side. “Jaybie. Jaybie?”Jay opened his eyes and smiled when he heard Angeline’s voice.“Can you speak now, Angeline?”He reached out his hand to touch Angeline’s face. Then, he turned her gently to face him. “Jaybie is right here, Angeline.”Angeline knew that Jay would feel sorry for her bitter experience. In order to stop him from worrying, the first words Angeline uttered were words of reassurance for him.“I’m fine, Jaybie. Cole did not bully me, nor did the kidnappers. I was merely worried about you the whole time. Now that I see you safely by my side again, my heart’s at ease. Don’t worry, I’m in a perfect frame of mind. My body will heal itself soon.”Jay whimpered like a puppy. “When they said you fell off the cliff and was swallowed by a beast, did you know how scared I was, Angeline?“I haven’t given you
Carson fetched two bottles of white wine, tossed one to Cole, and said, "I’ll sacrifice myself to get drunk with you today.”Cole took the white wine. When he saw the small bottle of clear liquid, he frowned. "Why did you bring such a tiny bottle?"Carson said, "You’ve never drunk alcohol before, Young Master. You should probably take it easy because this is your first time drinking."Cole roared angrily. "The two old fools drink wine like they’re drinking plain water. I’m the direct line of descendant, so I’m pretty sure I inherited their high alcohol tolerance.”Although he complained about the tiny amount of wine given to him, he still opened the bottle and tilted his head back to pour the wine down his throat.Carson stared at his young master in a daze. "Wine has to be savored slowly, Young Master. You’ll only be wasting good wine if you drink like that.”After finishing a bottle of wine, Cole could feel a ball of heat spreading throughout his entire body. "This stuff sure i
