“Can you please stop asking, Sir Ares?” Baby Zetty’s voice sounded choked up. Jay stood up tremblingly. There was an inexplicably unbearable feeling in his heart. It was a kind of anxiety and irritability that could not be erased even after quite some time.“Okay. I’ll not push you for an answer. Once you’re willing to open up to me, just let me know, alright?” Jay’s tone was no longer aggressive. On the contrary, it carried a sense of gentle tolerance and understanding.Baby Zetty nodded at him.Standing in front of Baby Zetty, Jay looked at her face carefully for the first time.Despite her long and white hair, her old face could not conceal her once beautiful and flawless features from when she was younger. Then, he noticed Angeline’s shadow on her face.Jay’s heart started throbbing violently.He finally understood why she had been so against him calling her ‘grandma’ when they first met.Baby Zetty curled up into a ball, too terrified to look at him. She was akin to a hel
The man who claimed to be Boye’s nephew came over with a huge knife. He stepped onto the threshold and held the knife up, violently confronting Jay while saying, “Sir Ares, we served you delicious food and waited upon you. Now you’re trying to leave without saying goodbye?”In terms of reasoning, it could be said that Zayne was someone irrefutable.Zayne furiously scoffed. “You f*cking served us poison! It’s already kind of us not to demand compensation for the physical and mental damage you caused us. Appreciate the favors we’re giving you and stand away from the door.”The man licked the edge of the knife, his sharp eyes staring right at Jay. “You can leave if you want to, but you’ll have to leave behind the most precious thing you have.”The most precious thing?Zayne and the others thought that he was referring to their lives.Zayne was petrified within seconds. He quickly hid behind Jay, seeking protection.However, Jay pushed him away and walked toward Baby Zetty to protec
Jay covered his nose and fanned the smell away. He said with a disgusted look on his face, “Stay away from me, you smell like piss.”Zayne sat on the ground in despair and said, “My reputation is ruined.”Cole fought with the person for more than a dozen rounds. It was getting hard to guess the outcome now. Jay ordered the Ghost members, “All of you help him out.”The Ghost members leaped over as well.It was a fierce fight between the two sides.It was just that that man’s machete swung around violently, slashing into the air. The cold light was refracted all over.Jay retreated to Baby Zetty and Gale’s side while saying, “This person is a bit more difficult to deal with. The two of you should quickly run away.”Baby Zetty shook her head and said, “I’m not going anywhere.”Jay was slightly startled at this. When did Baby Zetty become so rebellious?Perhaps it was not considered rebellion as she was all grown up now. She had more determination and perseverance to protect the p
Not only did he protect her when they were facing the bad guys earlier, but now he even offered to carry her up the mountain trail. This was certainly not in line with Daddy’s cold personality.Baby Zetty thought for a long time and seemed to have an epiphany.Perhaps Daddy had begun to doubt her identity?Baby Zetty started to have an unbearable feeling in her heart. Even though Daddy was suspicious of her identity, he chose to keep quiet about it and not acknowledge her. Daddy must be trying to protect her self-esteem.Daddy must be utterly upset at the moment. After all, his most beloved daughter had become so old and inferior.Baby Zetty could not help but start sobbing on Jay’s broad back. Jay could sense the child’s overwhelming sadness and his mood became extremely solemn as well.It seemed like after they found a place to settle down, he would have to get acquainted with the child again to resolve her inner pain.However, danger was lurking on every corner of this road
Jay frowned as he asked, “14 years?”He glanced at Gale. The boy looked to be about 15 years old this year and in 14 more years, he would be a 30-year-old mature man.These 14 years were supposed to be Gale’s prime years and the time for a man to have a budding romance. Jay asked suspiciously, “Why 14 years?”Gale said with a smile, “I’m waiting for someone’s return.”Jay looked at the young man in front of him. Even though his smile was bright, for some odd reason, it gave out a sense of unpredictability and maturity.Jay looked at Baby Zetty and asked, “How about her?”Gale smiled and shook his head.Jay stared at Gale, seemingly still in disbelief. Seeing the firmness in his eyes, Jay said, “Keep in mind whatever you’ve said to me today.”Jay walked away after saying these words.Gale’s clear eyes looked at Jay’s straight and stalwart back. His eyes seemed to have darkened, and there was a slight ripple as well.Jay and the others had been hiding in the cave for a few da
The sisters shot a glance that was as sharp as knives toward Baby Robbie and ridiculed, “We wouldn’t want to marry these freaking men anyway.”The sisters unwillingness to get married was a harmful mindset taught by the military intelligence division’s ideology. However, Baby Robbie had assumed that their deep-rooted thoughts would change after leaving the military intelligence division.Upon hearing the sisters’ stubborn thoughts, Baby Robbie was so startled that he almost fell down from the tree branch. “If you guys aren’t getting married, who do I collect your sky-high dowry from?”After the sisters dealt with the bad guys who were attacking them, they swarmed toward Baby Robbie. Fury emerged on all of their beautiful faces as they snarled. “Are you itching to get a spanking, Baby Robbie?”Baby Robbie sat up from the tree branch and shot forward. His agile body moved like an arrow shot from its bow as he quickly left the scene.The men who were lying on the ground with broken l
“Although the Boye families come from the same ancestor, all of the family branches are now as incompatible as fire and water after fighting for the family’s properties. Especially so when the Boyes of the main branch inherited the secret medical skills. They’ve become the thorn in the eye for the other branches of the family. In order to force the main branch to surrender the secret skills, all of the branches started cooperating to deal with the main branch. However, the other branches are not particularly compatible with each other,” said the man honestly.Baby Robbie felt like he had heard some sort of fantasy story. “So the Boye families would rather launch a full on hunt in order to fight for the family’s properties? This sort of self-centered behavior of not acknowledging one’s family makes all of you no better than animals.”The man said, “These are our grandparents' matters. Us youngsters barely know of the grudges between the elders, but we know that our ancestors were seve
Very soon, several of the children started showing symptoms of having been poisoned.Especially Baby Robbie, as his symptoms were the most severe.His face had turned pale and his body was weak. He started vomiting and getting diarrhea as well. However, the most miserable part of this all was that there were no latrines anywhere.Baby Robbie covered his belly, looking as though he was unable to move an inch.The sisters were extremely worried about him. Sis Three asked, “Baby Robbie, why are your symptoms so severe?”Even though the sisters were all poisoned as well and experiencing fatigue, they could still walk with some tenacity.As for Baby Robbie, who was supposedly stronger, he was unable to move the slightest. This made the sisters very worried.Baby Robbie held onto his stomach, looked at the foggy sky in utter bitterness as he wailed out in agony. “I need the toilet.”The sisters looked at each other. Then, Sis Thirteen pointed toward one of the bushes and said, “Baby
