Baby Zetty suddenly came to a realization and exclaimed, “Oh! I almost made a mistake.”Baby Zetty had a straightforward personality, so she was easily deceived. Fortunately for her, Gale had a meticulous mind and could continuously remind Baby Zetty at any time to never stop being vigilant.“But we don’t know how to get to Sacred Land.”Gale asked, “Did Mister happen to leave you some sort of treasure? Perhaps there’s information on Sacred Land?”Baby Zetty quickly took out the pillow from her belly again and extracted three books from it. She said, “These are the books that Mister left behind for me.”Gale said, “Flip through them.”Baby Zetty flipped through them seriously.Finally, she uncovered six maps on the cover of the three books. Baby Zetty lifted the books and said, “Perhaps these maps will show us the way to Sacred Land?”Gale frowned as he looked at the pillow made from imitation human skin.Baby Zetty had to tie it to her stomach every day to protect it, making
After a short while, Baby Zetty stood up and said to the villager, “I’ll write down some medicines for you. Go to the market and get them. This type of disease has to be treated slowly, and you can’t simply ignore it after finding out about it.”The villager looked for a piece of paper and a pen before handing them to Baby Zetty.After Baby Zetty finished writing the prescription, she advised the villager again before leaving.She thought that things would end at that, yet who would have thought that when Baby Zetty and Gale were at the market the next day, they suddenly saw a few masked men? The men were asking around, “Did you happen to see an old woman with her teenage grandson?”When Gale heard this, he immediately let go of Baby Zetty’s hand.They pretended not to know one another.Then, Gale proceeded to walk toward the masked men.One of them grabbed Gale and asked, “Did you happen to see an old lady and her grandson around here?”Gale was so frightened that he started s
Jay looked around the unfamiliar area. The place had steep elevations and verdant jungles. He would occasionally see a farmhouse or two, and the entire area had a very sparse population. The depressing part was that it was impossible to choose a faster transportation method on such rugged mountain roads.On top of everything, Cole suddenly exclaimed, “My phone lost its signal.”Sir Ares and Zayne checked their phones immediately only to find that they had lost cell reception as well.The Ghost members hurriedly inspected all their advanced communication equipment before coming to the same conclusion. “The compass has stopped working as well as all the other communication equipment.”Zayne placed his arms on his hips and lamented, “What kind of f*cking deserted place is this?!”Jay looked around, his handsome face looking extremely gloomy. He wanted to ask the locals for directions.If no one could show them the way, there was a higher chance of them getting lost. It would only re
After saying those words in a moment of anger, Jay still asked a doctor to come over and take a look at Zayne.After the doctor checked on Zayne, he said, “Once we get to one of those households, we’ll take a blood test to see if the poisoning is serious.”However, Zayne’s tongue almost fully recovered by the time they arrived at the farmhouse.“I can speak now,” said Zayne, even though he sounded somewhat unclear.Sir Ares said, “The evil ones always live longer, so don’t worry, God won’t be expecting you anytime soon.”Zayne muttered, “Can’t you say something nice for once?”Sir Ares said, “Your wife and son are praying for your safety back home every day. So rest assured, you can’t die even if you try.”Zayne was somewhat ashamed now and said, “Fine. Okay. I’ll protect myself better in the future. Just shut your mouth.”After two hours of walking on the mountain road, Sir Ares and the others ultimately arrived at the old farmhouse. The farmhouse was made of bamboo, and there
Upon hearing Cole’s words, the young lady became excited and said, “I can find someone to help you relieve the poison’s effects. But you have to promise me that you’ll stay here for a while.”“No,” Jay immediately refused.Cole said, “My dear cousin, sacrificing personal interests in exchange for the happiness and stability of the people in Imperial Capital... This trade is worth it.”Zayne smacked his lips sourly and said, “Besides, it’s not such a hard task.”Jay was fuming as he said, “Have you forgotten about the lesson Judy taught us?”Zayne replied, “Come on. We’re in such a faraway place at the moment. Your wife won’t find out about the things we’re doing here. Don’t worry about it. We’ll keep it a secret.”Jay coldly snorted, obviously venting his frustration with them.“Save him first, and we’ll talk later.”Hence, Jay and the others settled down in the young lady’s bamboo house.The young lady was someone who kept her promise. After their meal, she said to Jay, “I’ll
The old lady said, “If you keep heading north from here, you’ll enter a vast, primitive forest. There’s a spot there called Sacred Land. Many people have gone looking for it, but none has found it so far.”Jay thanked the old lady and walked out of the room Andy was in. He was getting ready to gather Cole and the others so they could set off immediately.However, when Jay walked out of the room, he saw all of them huddling up in a disorderly manner all over the ground. Each of them was looking pale as they helplessly looked up at Jay.“We’ve been poisoned, Cousin.”Cole pointed at the young lady tremblingly and said, “That little lady is harboring evil intentions. There was something wrong with the food she gave us.”Jay shot a malicious gaze at the young girl, asking, “Why did you do this?”The old lady parted the curtain at the doorway and walked out with a sullen face. “Because I asked her to do this.”Jay asked furiously, “But why are you harming us?!”The old lady walked u
Jay walked over to Zayne’s side and kicked him once before saying, “I’ve tolerated you for a long time now. I used to take Angeline’s feelings into account. But now that she’s not by my side, I’ll treat you as I wish.”Zayne was stunned as he shrieked out, “Are you for real?”Jay went over to trample on Cole as well and snarled. “And you! How dare you covet for my wife? I’ll be free of worries once I leave all of you to die here.”Cole’s handsome pupils looked at Jay, filled with a sense of doubt. He knew that there must be a reason for Jay to turn against them so suddenly, but he could not guess why Sir Ares was doing this.After Jay vented his anger, he packed up all of their essential things and left.Zayne cursed at Jay’s back view, “You’re not human, Ares! How can you abandon your comrades?”Cole continued to ponder over it. When Jay kicked him earlier, he shot a meaningful glance at him.What did he mean by that?After Cole realized it, he suddenly echoed Zayne’s words an
Just as Zayne was about to untie them, Cole shouted at him to stop.“Don’t do it! Someone will be coming to our rescue soon.”Zayne suspiciously asked, “Who?”Sure enough, it did not take very long for Sir Ares to come back.He was holding onto a water bottle in his hand as he walked over at a carefree pace, looking happy and content. It did not seem like he was worried about his comrades’ well-being at all.When Zayne saw Jay, he immediately snarled. “Why are you walking at such a slow pace, Sir Ares? Why can’t you walk a little faster? We’re dying here and you’re supposed to be racing against death!”Jay walked over and threw the bottle over to Cole.Cole weakly glared at him, scoffing. “Is this how you care for your patients?! Help me open it.”Jay said, “You should be doing things on your own.”Cole snarled. “Have you given all of your compassion and tenderness to Angeline?”Cole sat up and poured some water for everyone. After drinking, Cole collapsed to the ground again
