Zayne chuckled and said, “Don’t be angry, guys. I was just thinking that since I’m leaving Imperial Capital tomorrow, I have to figure something out first. I’ve always wondered who’s the strongest among these three children.”“Will the answer to this question bring any benefits to you?” Angeline was utterly annoyed.Zayne placed his chin on his hands and looked at Joseph who was fighting and retreating at the same time as well as the increasingly ferocious Angel. He also observed the seemingly dejected expression on Dawn’s face.“Of course, it’ll benefit me greatly. I’ll have to start getting on your brat’s good terms so that she’ll protect my son in the future, preventing my dear Joseph from getting bullied out there.”Angeline, “…”Jay said, “Are you mentally ill? Joseph is a boy. He’s supposed to grow up into an indomitable man, so why should he be the one hiding behind a girl?”Josie nodded and said, “That’s right. How can you do this as a dad? Our son is so young, but you’re
Zayne started eyeing Jay and said insinuatingly, “...who's able to get himself muddle-headed by some chick.”Angeline initially had absolute trust in Jay's resistance to beautiful women, but when Zayne mentioned Judy, she suddenly felt the lingering fear in her heart. She turned to look at Jay somewhat fearfully…Jay merely patted her head and said softly, "Don't worry. I have a wife as beautiful as a flower waiting for me back home. I'll not be interested in anyone in the outside world."Angeline smiled in relief.Zayne was fond of expressing a different view from Sir Ares, so he ridiculed, "Even a wife as beautiful as a flower will soon turn into a faded old woman, so they can't compete with those young girls out there."Josie cried out, "What do you mean by that, Zayne?"Zayne said, "Hey, I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about him. Just take a good look at your husband here. I'm a greasy old, middle-aged man now. Even if I were interested in doing those things, I wouldn't
Jay suddenly looked back with tearful eyes, saying, “Take care, Angeline.”Zayne was not a fan of the sentimental atmosphere, so he pulled Jay along and walked forward. He was even rejoicing in the calamity and said, “Let’s go, Big Brother. I’ve put a little something in their drinks so that they wouldn’t wake up early. Don’t expect Angeline to come and see you off.”At this time, the Ghost members had brought Yvette over to Jay and reported, “Mr. Ares, everything is in order now. Let’s set off.”“Okay.”Around noon, Angeline slowly opened her eyes.The sun’s rays shone on her eyes and she jumped up in bed to sit up. She looked at the clock on the wall and noticed that it was already 11 in the afternoon. Angeline placed her hand on the empty right side of the bed, sighing weakly.Jay had truly left.He did not even say goodbye to her and quietly left.It was a good decision, though. Otherwise, the parting would be much sadder.It was just that Angeline’s heart had become inexp
Baby Zetty looked at the medicinal powder that was as fine as flour and said with a smile, "No problem."She came to the laboratory and prepared all kinds of experimental equipment, plus several kinds of catalysts and centrifugal filters.Then, she began the tedious experimental procedure.After going through countless decomposition experiments, more and more powders were segregated.Once Baby Zetty was done with the final step, she found that there were a total of 26 medicinal ingredients. Hence, Baby Zetty wrapped them up and prepared to hand over her experimental results to Mr. Boye.Boye and her old partner were drinking coffee as they chatted. The topic of their conversation was naturally unable to go far from their darling little apprentice.Grandpa said, "You were just 18 years old when you did this experiment and you managed to extract 25 kinds of medicinal ingredients. The old master then allowed you to graduate from apprenticeship. Baby Zetty is not even 18 this year, s
Boye came to the rooftop and opened the door that had cut them off from the rest of the world. As her eyes overlooked the entire village and she saw the strange faces of people walking on the road, her face became extremely gloomy.Grandpa had come to her side at some point, saying, “They won’t leave until they find you and Baby Zetty.”Boye replied anxiously, “But I have to go out.”Grandpa asked, “Are you going to collect medicinal ingredients?”Boye nodded. “Yeah.”Grandpa said, “Let me go, then.”Boye shook her head, saying, “You’re my assistant and they know you. How would they ever let you off the hook?”Grandpa said, “I’ll disguise myself.”Boye said, “All the villagers in the village are under their control. If you go out with an unfamiliar face, they’ll be suspicious of you.”Grandpa replied, “We have to try our luck. Otherwise, if we stay here, we’ll run out of food and everything else. We’ll still have to leave eventually.”Boye panicked and said, “Let me consider
Boye’s tears flowed down. After all this time, the sadness she had felt along the way could finally be vented out at this moment. “Baby Zetty, the Boye family’s secret skills are now in your hands. Your mission is the same as mine now, that is, to live and desperately fight to live.”Baby Zetty had never felt that trying to be alive was actually such a stressful thing.Boye suddenly grabbed her thin arms in a stirred up manner, saying, “My mission will be entrusted to you from now on. Baby Zetty, perhaps you’ll be just like me, living a life with no permanent place to settle in. And you’ll always be on the run, living in hiding and living a life of fear. But trust me that all of this will be worth it.”Baby Zetty gulped and thought that Mr. Boye was making a fuss over nothing. In her opinion, as long as she returned to the Ares household in Imperial Capital and stayed by her dad’s side with the omnipotent Ghost members to protect her, she would lead a stable life.However, Baby Zet
Boye grabbed his hand and said emotionally, “When you told me that you wanted to go out to get the medicinal ingredients yourself, I knew that you were determined to learn from my mother and sacrifice yourself to save both Baby Zetty and me. But don’t you know that if you leave me, I won’t survive?”Grandpa hugged Boye and sighed. “Boye, you’ve been stubborn for a lifetime.”Boye smiled and said, “We have Baby Zetty now. She’s better and stronger than I am, so I can die without any regrets.”Grandpa said, “We don’t necessarily have to die. Let’s just give it a shot.”Boye nodded. “Alright.”The old man glanced reluctantly at the secret pocket room. Ultimately, it was still difficult for him to give up on Baby Zetty, so he walked up to the door and said, “Baby, you’ll have to walk the rest of the road alone from now on. Demons are already occupying the village and we can’t escape. Mister and I have decided to sacrifice ourselves. This way, you have a chance of surviving. You must r
Baby Zetty knew that unique metamorphic materials were used to surround the outside of the secret pocket room. It would change a person’s principle of pupil refraction accordingly, making it look like the walls of the room were one with the stone wall at a glance.“No one else is here, Master.”After searching for a long time, everyone ultimately returned without a captive in hand.The white-haired old man stroked his beard and questioned, “Why isn’t there an apprentice? Boye, are you truly not planning to cultivate a successor?”Boye scoffed angrily. “Hmph! I’ve been homeless and miserable my whole life. When would I have the chance to choose the right successor and where would I find the time to train an excellent one? Instead of finding an apprentice who’ll be nothing but a disappointment and a waste of my time, it’s better for me to enjoy my remaining happy and leisure days.”The old man was in slight disbelief when he said, “That’s too bad. The Boyes’ bloodline is fully deser
