Cole said, “With that head of yours, you may not recognize your niece even if she’s standing in front of you.”Zayne felt that he had been severely humiliated for his IQ. He bluntly scoffed back, saying, “That’s my precious niece you’re talking about. I can recognize her even if she has turned to ashes.”Feeling that his words would bring about a bad omen, Zayne patted his mouth after saying it. He reprimanded himself, “What’s with this mouth of yours?”Hence, Jay decided to spare him.Cole looked over at Jay and said, “Why don’t you tell this muddle-headed idiot the truth? Otherwise, when he returns to Imperial Capital, he’ll only add more unnecessary details to the story to twist the relationship between you and Winter. At that time, if Angeline hears his one-sided story, she’ll be somewhat uncomfortable with it.”Jay nodded.Zayne was dumbfounded as he listened to these two in front of him. Feeling utterly displeased, he muttered, “What truth? Why do all of you know something
Once Finn walked farther away, Baby Zetty turned into another fork road and parted ways with Finn.She arrived at a stream and sat on top of a stone. She had not been able to find some free time to figure out her state of mind.The things that had happened last night were all too sudden. Under the drug’s effects, she actually confessed to Finn while she was still in her old shell. She had evidently frightened Finn.However, the intelligent Finn ultimately recognized her and fortunately, he did not dislike her because of it. On the contrary, Brother Finn was still willing to accept her. His feelings for her were so passionate that Baby Zetty found it hard to resist. Moreover, his feelings were so deep that he even kissed her…She was so ugly and old now. How on earth could he kiss her when she was like this?When she thought about the kiss that was filled with emotions, Baby Zetty’s face became scalding hot. Her tender heart began to twitch, and since she was a shy girl, she could
Jay said, “I’m not that worried since Finn is protecting Baby Zetty.”Zayne smiled and said, “So you’re ready to make Finn your son-in-law?”Jay rolled his eyes at him. “Are you afraid of the world coming to an end?”Zayne pressed his lips together and said, “I don’t understand. The two were doing so well before and stuck by each other every single day. You just had to separate them. Now, under these circumstances, our Baby Zetty is no longer worthy of Finn. You have to settle for the next best thing and allow Finn to pursue Baby Zetty instead.”Jay gloomily replied, “What nonsense are you talking about? I didn’t allow it before because Baby Zetty was too young. Even if I agree now, it’s to fulfill Baby Zetty’s wishes.”Zayne said, “It’s all because of your selfishness anyway. You’re just hell-bent on thinking about your daughter.”This time, Cole was on Jay’s side and said to Zayne, “Don’t make it sound so unpleasant. If you had a daughter, would you be willing to allow her to d
Nephele’s sharp gaze swept across everyone’s faces. She honestly had no idea who was Boye’s apprentice, but she knew for certain that Boye’s descendant was by Sir Ares’ side.It was because she had poisoned them several times, including the witch poison in Grayson and Andy’s bodies. Yet, they were able to resolve it on their own. Hence, Nephele knew that there was a star healer quietly rising among them.As the head disciple of Poison Doctors, she could never allow her opponent to resurrect once more.“It doesn’t matter if you refuse to tell me. I’ve put poison in the flowers and plants along the road. When you made your way here, you must've already been poisoned heavily. Before long, the poison inside of you will start flaring up,” said Nephele as she smiled viciously.“I just don’t believe that they’ll look on helplessly without showing themselves as all of you die.”Nephele was forcing Baby Zetty to show herself, but she was not aware that Baby Zetty was not with them at all.
After three to four people fell to the ground, five to six others rushed over. They were fierce like tigers as they surrounded Baby Robbie. From their eyes, it was as though they were looking at their prey.Baby Robbie rose in the air and knelt on top of a big man’s shoulders. Before the big guy could do anything, Baby Robbie held his head in his hands and twisted it suddenly. There was a snap when the man’s head turned to the side. He had met his maker.Nephele showed a horrified expression. She did not expect Baby Robbie to be so different from the elegant Sir Ares. Baby Robbie did not make a move very often, but when he did, it was so very cruel.Seeing how cruel and bloodthirsty Baby Robbie was, the others were a little afraid of him now and did not dare to approach so hastily. However, there were still a few who were unafraid of death. A guy with a beard said, “I simply don’t believe that with so many of us here, we still can’t beat this hot-headed fellow. Everyone, charge!”A
Jay looked at Gale suspiciously. He had been able to tell from the beginning that Gale’s life experience was not as simple. Even though he was about the same age as Baby Robbie and the others, the depth in his gaze and abilities were incompatible with his age. Moreover, his unaffected aura amid danger made Sir Ares suspect that… he and Angeline fell in the same category of people.“What treasure do you want?” Sir Ares tried to probe.Gale smiled and said, “It’s not the time to discuss this, Sir Ares. You’ll know when the time comes.”Jay said, “What if I come to regret this later on and disagree?”Gale smiled charmingly as if he was not worried about Sir Ares regretting his decision. Then, Gale said, “I think I should save you first, Sir Ares.”At this moment, those dozen burly chaps were still unaware of the impending danger. One of them sneered at Gale. “Hmph, isn’t it still too early for you to ask for a treasure in exchange for saving them? Stinking brat, you look like you’re
Gale calmly said, “A kind of Eastern sorcery.”Zayne seemed a little calmer after hearing this. “So it’s Eastern sorcery, huh? Honestly, I thought you called out some departed spirits who were seeking vengeance by demanding the lives of others.” Zayne patted his chest in lingering fear.Gale looked at the group of exhausted and haggard people, asking, “Can you still walk?”Jay said, “Gale, we’ve been poisoned and we can’t take even a step. Can you please do something else for me?”“Tell me, Sir Ares,” said Gale in a forthright and straightforward manner.“Our Robbie is probably held up by Nephele’s men right now. We don’t know how he’s doing. Please go and help him,” said Jay.Gale replied, “No problem.”After Gale left, Zayne began rebuking Jay, “Big Brother, you should’ve asked him for one more thing. Ask him to look for Baby Zetty for us. She’s a healer. She can cure us of the poison.”Jay looked at Gale’s grave and stern figure, saying, “My intuition tells me that asking
“Our Father who is in Heaven, hallowed be your name…” After praying for quite some time, she noticed that there seemed to be no movements around her. Hence, Baby Zetty bravely opened one eye.Finn was crossing his arms on his chest. He could not help but laugh when he looked at her old face as she behaved so childishly. At the same time, he also found her charming.“You managed to trek the mountains and come to Sacred Land, was it from praying along the way?” Finn said while smiling. Baby Zetty’s whole body froze upon hearing Finn’s voice behind her.After a short while, Baby Zetty turned her head slowly and saw Finn looking at her with a mischievous smile. The pair of beautiful eyes was no longer as cold as before.For a moment there, Baby Zetty was about to escape again. However, when she got up and walked two steps forward, she turned back around again.Finn asked her curiously, “Why aren’t you escaping?”Baby Zetty asked him, “Have you been following me all this time?”Fin
