Jay grabbed Angeline's hand anxiously and gave her a reassuring stare. He then turned to Judy and said, "Judy, I promised your father to take good care of you, but I didn't promise him anything about marrying you. I, Jay Ares, am a person who takes my promise seriously and will never break it. With that said, I also promised my wife to marry her and her alone for the rest of my life. I’ll take care of you, but I won’t do so by marrying you.”Judy's smile froze on her face. Her unrequited love had turned into intense hatred. "You’re not keeping your promise." She then covered her face and ran away.The villagers all looked at Jay with condemning eyes. “Zechariah has just passed on and you’re already breaking your promise by refusing to marry Saintess Judy. We don’t welcome you here in Doomsday.”Jay was spurned, and his dashing face looked extremely awkward.Angeline squeezed Jay's hand and gave him a reassuring gaze.With Angeline’s comforting gaze, his icy heart was instantly fil
Angeline nodded. “Mm."Just like that, Angeline and Jay left hand in hand before everybody’s eyes.Dusk.Both of them were summoned to Grand Old Master Yorks’ half-mountain villa.Grand Old Master Yorks had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Jay and Angeline, he deliberately adjusted his slouched sitting posture.“You’re here?" The hoarseness in his voice was difficult to conceal."Grandpa, did you summon me because of the assassin?" Jay and Angeline sat diagonally across from Grand Old Master Yorks.Grand Old Master Yorks nodded solemnly. "The assassin invaded Doomsday's military base last night."Jay was astounded! The military base?That was Doomsday's core defense system. If it was destroyed, then the entire Yorks Stronghold would face a major crisis.However, if the other party did not have a map as guidance, then there was no way they could enter such a heavily-guarded place."Someone leaked the Nine Paintings." Jay's eyes turned cold.Grand Old Master Yorks lo
Grand Old Master Yorks' hunched body quivered a little.It felt like he had turned ten years older in an instant.After a long time, Grand Old Master Yorks said in a hoarse voice, "I once saw this skull necklace on Mr. Boye.""What?" Jay exclaimed, "Why would I have Mr. Boye's necklace?"Up until today, Mr. Boye had only lived in legends.In Jay’s opinion, he and Mr. Boye were completely unrelated strangers, so how did he end up having Mr. Boye’s private possession?Grand Old Master Yorks glanced obscurely at Jay and closed his eyes for a very long time. When he opened his eyes again, a trace of anger exuded from them. "I shouldn’t have trusted your grandfather. I can’t believe he betrayed me.”Jay looked discomfited. "What do you mean, Grandpa?”Grand Old Master Yorks found it hard to relieve his anger. “Your grandfather gave me an unconvincing reason to leave Doomsday back then and I believed in his nonsense. He probably knows where Mr. Boye is and is hiding him away secretly
“Mr. Boye is my grandmother? But how could it be? If my grandmother is Mr. Boye, how could Grandfather not know?" Jay was beyond astonished.Angeline mulled it over and said, "I think your grandfather has no knowledge of your grandmother’s true identity.”Jay was both nonplussed and flabbergasted. "Tell me everything you know, Angeline.”Aware that Doomsday was now facing the risk of being annihilated, Angeline decided to save Doomsday from the same catastrophe that befell the Ares family by making a clean breast of it all."That day, I lost my way in Fragrant Vessel Court and entered the Ares residence’s forbidden area by accident. When I was in the underground palace, I overheard your mother arguing with your father.”When Angeline recalled what happened that day, she felt as though she was reliving her nightmare.As a result, she shrank into a ball. When Jay noticed her unease, he quickly pulled her into his arms and soothed her. "You don’t have to force yourself to think abou
The truth was out!Jay’s eagle eyes contracted slightly. The dots had now connected. Several clear and distinct chains were formed. Ultimately, Jay’s pupils froze in place as he gently uttered three words, “military intelligence division.”Angeline paled slightly!When Jay called out the name ‘military intelligence division’ without warning, the clever Angeline could immediately guess why he did that."Jaybie, the military intelligence division is an evil organization established by Mr. Boye’s descendant, right? When they took Baby Robbie away a few years ago, everything was all premeditated, right? If that’s the case… Now that Jens has gone to the military intelligence division, does that mean he’ll only have a slim chance of survival?” Angeline muttered as she held Jay’s arms with trembling hands.Although Jay’s head was a mess right now, he needed to force himself to stay calm. He consoled Angeline, saying, “Don’t worry, Angeline. I’ll rescue Jens out of there. Trust me.”Gran
Darkness enveloped Mount Pearl.Jay and Angeline looked at the dark sky, both of them silently worrying about their child—Jenson.Angeline nestled in Jay's arms and said with sorrow, “Jaybie, I finally understand why you kept it a secret from all of us and fought Doomsday alone back then.”Jay’s mind wandered back to a few years ago when he kept a secret from all of his close relatives and faced Doomsday alone… Dying was easy, actually. Cutting off ties with his family was not. It was especially hard when he was expected to give up on his and Angeline’s relationship.Angeline’s voice gently tugged on Jay's heartstrings in the quiet night.“If I could trade my life for everyone's safety, I believe I’d do the same. I shouldn't have blamed you back then, Jaybie," Angeline said tearfully.Jay pulled her closer and murmured affectionately, "To be honest, Angeline, I regretted it. I regretted it the moment I was an inch away from death. I regretted leaving you behind and sending you
Jenson took the opportunity to grope his way into the underground palace.In the pitch-dark underground palace, only a very dim wall lamp in a corner was lit. It barely illuminated the underground palace’s layout.At the center of the underground palace, several folding chairs were placed at random. Two people were seen tied up to two of the chairs.It was one man and one woman.The man had his head down, hence it was hard to see his face.The woman's head had tilted to one side, her messy hair covering her face though parts of it remained uncovered.When Jenson saw one of her eyes and the shriveled skin around her eyes, he was instantly petrified.This woman’s shriveled skin looked all too familiar to him.He held his breath as he made his way toward the woman.He had just approached the woman and was about to reach out to lift her hair away from her face when he felt a weight on his shoulders.Someone had placed his or her hands on his shoulder.Jenson moved his entire bod
“Anyone who passes this level will be awarded the title of Doomsday Admiral and be granted with the authority to lead Doomsday’s Tiger and Wolf Armies."When Spencer was done speaking, he looked around him only to see everyone backing away. Even the crowd had fallen silent.Spencer frowned when no one came forward to challenge the sky barrier. His frown formed creases that were so deep that they could squash a fly.“Where’s Cole? Where the hell is he? Summon him to take the lead in crashing the barrier." Whenever Spencer made a decision and realized that no one was responding to it, he would drag his precious son out to serve as cannon fodder.Cole stood in the crowd with his arms folded and walked out with a sigh when he heard Spencer calling his name.“Cole Yorks, as the young master of Yorks Stronghold, you have to take the lead in crossing the barrier. Give everyone an idea of what it’s like.”Cole said, "Aren’t you afraid that I’ll be eternally doomed once I fall into the ab
