Sitting in his battle aircraft, Cole took off his fox-shaped mask and looked down at Tourmaline Estate. Like a winner staring at his opponent from above, a victorious smile flared in his eagle-like eyes. “All of you will pay for the death of Aunt Chloe, Jay Ares.” Bats took off from the ground at the same time and began to fly around the estate, raining beads of concentrated biochemical weaponry. Meanwhile, Jay’s tank went mad like a demon who had finally been released after being locked away for millennia, firing high caliber bombs from its back as it crashed recklessly within the estate. After losing hundreds of tanks to the bats, Jay initiated self-destruct on his. “May the glory of Tourmaline Estate be remembered in history.” Jay’s eyes glistened with stubborn tears. “Boom!” Like large planets crashing, Tourmaline Estate exploded. Red hot flames burst in the air while pieces of tinder joined and fueled the sea of fire. Cole gaped in shock with wide eyes as he star
Blinking her eyes open, Angeline looked around the familiar environment. Right, it was where Jay had forcefully induced her labor. Angeline stared in surprise as two gentle and pretty-looking maids entered the room with a cleaning basin. “I heard thunders and explosions from Imperial Capital last night. What was that all about?” The two maids halted, their eyes immediately reddening. They choked out a reply, “We don’t know what happened either, except that it came from Tourmaline Estate.” Angeline’s expression grew doubtful. “You’re hiding something from me, aren’t you?” The two maids hung their heads, not daring to speak another word. Lifting the covers, Angeline ran out barefooted. Outside the bedroom was stationed two members of Ghost by the doors, guarding it. Seeing Angeline, they immediately bowed respectfully. Angeline reached out to pinch the man’s lapels. Such quality suits could only come from Grand Asia. “Where’s Jay Ares?” Angeline immediately assumed that J
With a one-track mind, Angeline dashed about the castle in search of its exit. Grayson activated the castle’s stone door to allow the trickling of morning light into the otherwise dark interior. Raising a hand over her eyes, Angeline turned eastward to find the blue sky dyed vermillion by the flames over Tourmaline Estate. Angeline’s chest felt heavy and her heart threatened to leap out of her chest. Grayson stopped the Ferrari in front of Angeline. “Get in, Ms. President.” Toward the Ferrari Angeline staggered, pulling open the car doors with a quick move and sitting inside. The Ferrari gave a low rumble before it sped eastward and toward the sea of flames. Her gaze fell on the diamond-set sunflowers within the interior of the car. Angeline reached a trembling hand to touch its petals. Her mind echoed with Jay’s enchanting baritone. “Diamonds represent forever while sunflowers represent happiness. Stay happy and carefree forever, Angeline. That’s all Jaybie could ask f
Angeline approached with the intent to console Josephine, only to watch the unease grow as the other’s eyes fell on her. Both Zayne and Josephine’s expressions were one of pity and worry, making Angeline feel uncomfortable. “Where’s your brother?” she asked. Josephine opened her mouth, only to be muffled by Zayne’s hand as if his life depended on it. The blood drained from Angeline’s face, leaving her like a single-winged moth that was unable to spread its wings and fly, destined to wither away. “Where’s your brother?” Angeline asked again, her voice too low to hear the anger within. Josephine struggled out of Zayne’s grasp. However, Zayne only tightened his arms in response. Like a ruthless executioner, Zayne showed no hits of letting go until Josephine breathed her last breath. Slowly, Angeline stood. Her eyes fell on the flames before them. Without notice, she ran toward the fire. Zayne and the rest felt their hearts jump. They only relaxed slightly when Grayson
Carson appeared in front of him with Cole and Baby Zetty’s genetic test report. "Sir, the report shows that you and the owner of the hair are indeed related."The embroidered sachet in Cole's hand fell to the ground.His warm and handsome face revealed a touch of despair. He then drew out the four mortality cards from his pocket.Carson’s falcon-like pupils contracted. "Sir, those who hold a mortality card will usually not live unless—"Cole's gaze fell on the names written on the mortality card. "They will either die or become members of the Yorks family."There was one Doomsday Organization assassin who once spared someone whose name was on the mortality card due to soft-heartedness, causing major problems because of that.Hence, his grandfather established a firm principle.As long as a person’s name was listed on the mortality card, that person would be captured and killed.If the killer was infatuated with them, then there was only one way to keep them alive—by turning the
Baby Zetty was not that terrified anymore."Who are they, Finn?""Take a closer look at them and make sure you remember their faces, Baby Zetty. These are the guys who have killed your daddy." Finn's voice was filled with grief, indignation, and a common hatred for the enemy.When Baby Zetty heard that Daddy was dead, she let out a heart-wrenching cry."Daddy, Daddy!"The child's voice sounded extremely childish. Even its power to give vent to emotions was extremely feeble.Even so, her cries made Finn’s heart ache for some reason. "Don’t cry, Baby Zetty. Finn will take revenge for Daddy."Baby Zetty glared at the group of people with furious eyes. “Mm.”Finn ran out of the Severe’s residence and came to a narrow end of the street where the group of Spiriters finally surrounded him.Finn hugged Baby Zetty tightly and asked her, "Are you afraid?"Baby Zetty had already gone through a rollercoaster of emotions. She went from being terribly frightened to being overwhelmed with
The assassin approached Baby Zetty step by step. When he stretched out his hand to Baby Zetty, Finn’s accumulated strength rose sharply as he leaped into the air. He used every last ounce of his strength to employ a scissor kick, slamming the assassin to the ground viciously.Unfortunately, Finn was unable to get up anymore.“Finn." Baby Zetty crouched in front of Finn and let out a heart-wrenching cry.Finn opened his eyes feebly. When he saw Baby Zetty’s pitch black and sparkly eyes overflowing with helplessness, Finn raised his hand to wipe away her tears."Good girl, don’t cry."“Hold on, Finn. I'll take you to the hospital."When Baby Zetty caught sight of a trailer parked next to the refuse room, she heaved Finn onto the trailer with all her might and tied the cart’s rope to her thin and scrawny body.The distance to the hospital was not far at all.However, each step that Baby Zetty took felt strangely heavy.Sometimes, she would take a step and get yanked back a few st
Peter was slightly startled. "It’s good to be confident, but in Legendary Youth Academy, you will end badly if you’re overconfident. If you can’t graduate within eight to ten years after signing up for Wick’s class, you might need to stay at Legendary Youth Academy until you’re of old age.”Jenson gave Peter a deathly glare.Peter was slightly taken aback. “Why didn’t you inherit your mommy's adorable and tender qualities at all, kid? You’re just like your daddy, not amiable at all."He then smiled triumphantly and said, "I used to be your daddy’s classmate, and my biggest wish then was to dress a huge iceberg like him up as a girl. Unfortunately, I never got to fulfill that wish. Right now, I can finally practice it on his son, haha."Jenson's eyes emanated a trace of an intimidating cold gleam.When Peter saw this, his laughter came to an abrupt stop.He stuck out his tongue and teased Jenson, saying, "You’re even colder than your father. Boring."When the female version of Je
