Chapter 1261
Angeline shuddered.
That Yorks' stronghold might have some relationship with Doomsday. Now that Jaybie wanted to go there, the level of danger was exactly the same as Cole Yorks decimating the entirety of the Ares family back then.
Jay knew very well that Angeline was worried about his safety, so he grabbed her shoulders and consoled her. "Don't worry. I'm going to the Yorks' stronghold today just to report the death of the young master downstairs to Old Master Yorks. I won't expose my identity. I'll make sure that I'll come back real soon."
Angeline saw through him and said, "Hubby, are you thinking of taking this chance to sneak into Doomsday and find out more about Baby Robbie's news?"
Jay paused.
Sometimes even Jay could not help but be surprised at how sharp Angeline could be. She knew him all too well.
He could not hide anything from her at all!
"Mm." "Where's your token, then?" Angeline asked.
That token was left by Chloe Yorks for Jay to help him recognize his kin. If Doomsday would give him trouble, that token might just save his life.
Jay hesitated and replied with some frustration, "The token was stolen. Now that I think about it, the man who bumped into us at the airport is more than he looks."
Angeline clenched her fists and thumped the table." It's all my fault. If I knew that he had those intentions, I would've let you teach him a lesson."
Losing that token meant losing a lifesaver.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the room became glum.
Zayne suddenly suggested that they back out." Without the token, wouldn't it be a suicide mission going into Doomsday just like that? I don't think we should go. After all, we've seen the snow in North Capital, so let us all go home."
"Hubby, I'm going with you." Angeline suddenly stood up.
"Going with too many people will only cause alarm. I'll make a quick trip on my own." Jay was not willing to risk Angelina's life like that, so he tried to get that idea out of her head.
"Jaybie, Cole Yorks still owes me a favor. We might be able to save ourselves by exposing my identity to him and awakening his conscience," Angeline said adamantly.
When Jay heard Cole's name, his fingers balled into a tight fist.
Grayson and Sis Shirley stepped forward as well." We'll go too."
Zayne and Josephine did not want to be left behind. "If you're all going, then who's going to protect us?
Whatever. We're going with you."
Jay made his decision and said, "We'll all go, then."
At the same moment inside Peach Blossom County's Emerald Mountain Lodge.
A beautifully handsome teen held a platinum token in his hand and was staring at it.
"The admiral of Doomsday? Hehe."
That innocent look in the teen's eyes suddenly turned sinister. All color drained from his fingers because of the force that he was gripping the token with.
At that moment, the mellow and warm-hearted teen suddenly turned into an ice-cold statue.
"The heavens are helping me. With this token, I can enter the Yorks' stronghold as I please. Cole Yorks, I shall seek revenge for my father's death. It's time for us to settle the score."
The young lady looked at him worriedly. "Master told me to remind you that your mission is to get the treasure, not revenge."
Red streaked across the young man's eyes. His expression changed so quickly. "You know very well that this mission is a tough one. I might have to kill a few people to get the treasure." The little girl helplessly shook her head and reminded him, saying, "Don't forget the rules of the military intelligence division. Don't throw your life away just for that."
The young man glared at the girl in displeasure." Boring."

Chapter 1262
The little girl was no longer chatty.
Yorks' stronghold was located on the apex of the mountainside, east of Peach Blossom County.
As soon as Jay and the others arrived at the foot of the mountain, the supervisor poked his head out of the dilapidated management office and waved. "Turn back. The cable car is broken today and it's not getting repaired. There's no way to go up."
There was a sneer in Jay's eagle eyes. He gracefully walked to the supervisor. "The cable car is broken? Then repair it immediately."
The supervisor looked at Jay suspiciously. "Are you heading up in a hurry?"
Jay nodded.
"What are you planning to do up there? It's all cliffs. If you accidentally stumble down, you'll become meat sauce."
Jay glared at the supervisor. "You seem to be reluctant to have tourists visiting your natural landscape."
The supervisor smiled with a guilty conscience. "With all you people buying tickets to travel, it'll surely be beneficial to the people in Yorks' stronghold. How could I not be happy?"
Jay uttered, "First, your excuse is that the cable car is broken. Now, you're trying to use psychological tactics to make us retreat. I'm telling you, don't waste our time. We have reasons to go up, and we have to reach there today."
The supervisor looked at Jay only to feel that he was n o ordinary man. He looked like he would be hard to deal with, so he quickly said, "Then, wait over here. I'll report to someone on the upper side to repair
it."
"Good."
The supervisor picked up the phone and dialed a number.
Jay continued to stare straight into him as the supervisor glanced at him several times. He thought that this person had tact and would perhaps hold back when other people were making a call, but he seemed to barely understand any basic etiquette.
The call was connected amidst the awkward atmosphere. The supervisor cleared his throat before saying, "Um... There are a few tourists here and they have to go up today. Will you be able to fix the cable cars quickly?"
A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone." Tsk, another one who isn't afraid of death."
The supervisor was afraid that he might say something inappropriate, so he quickly blocked his mouth. "Hurry up." Then, he slammed the phone down.
"The upper management said that they'll fix it soon," the supervisor said to Jay.
Jay proceeded to smile happily. His smile was brighter than the scorching sun and more beautiful than a mountain flower, but somehow, it made people panic.
Sure enough, the bright smile was followed by a voice that made the supervisor shiver.
"I seemed to have heard someone from the upper management say that I'm not afraid of death? Why is that? Is someone going to die today?"
The supervisor's eyes twitched. There was a trace of unnoticeable panic in his voice. "Everything is in God's will. We can't predict the future."
Jay muttered quietly, "Hmm."
Jay was also afraid that these desperadoes would slaughter him as a sacrificial lamb. He added, "Isn't there a Yorks' stronghold at the top? And is there an Old Master Yorks there? Someone has requested for me to go up there and send him a letter."
The supervisor's expression changed. "What letter?"
Revealing it would make it lose its value. This was something that Jay was well aware of.
"It's a secret." Jay deliberately tried to make it more mysterious.
The supervisor was quiet.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the cable car slowly came down from the mountain.
Jay supported Angeline as they walked to the cable car with Grayson and the others.
A cable car could seat about six people.
The cable car was stable at first, but it started swaying violently as it rose to the sky.
Chapter 1263
Chapter 1263
Zayne was so frightened that he held onto Josephine tightly as he howled. "My God, we'll turn into mush if we fall from here and become wandering ghosts."
Jay looked at Zayne in distaste. "They won't let us die before we send word to Old Master Yorks."
Angeline thought about how she would see Baby Robbie real soon and was ecstatic. Her eyes were filled with hope.
"Dear, don't forget to ask about Baby Robbie later." Angeline reminded him gently.
"I know." Jay's heart became anxious upon seeing Angeline's hopeful gaze.
Angeline had placed all her hopes for Baby Robbie on Doomsday.
He was worried that the results would disappoint Angeline.
When they were in S country, the information provided by Roy Comrade could not stand repeated scrutiny.
There were two questions in his mind.
Firstly, was Monster indeed the person who took Baby Robbie?
Secondly, was Monster someone from Doomsday Organization?
They simply did not have any credible evidence. However, the desire to look for Baby Robbie was urgent. Even if it was out of reach, they had to have high ambitions to grab it. This was what any parent in the world would do!
As Jay had predicted, the cable car swayed in the air for a short while before smoothly reaching the top of the mountain.
The staff managing the cable car sat lazily in the cubicle as he looked at Jay and the others with narrowed eyes.
Grayson stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, how do we get to Yorks' stronghold?"
"Yorks' stronghold is halfway up the mountain, not at the top." The staff seemed rather indifferent.
Grayson felt like they had been tricked. "Then why did you bring us to the top of the mountain?"
"The cable car cannot reach halfway up the mountain."
"Give us a copy of the tourist guide for the scenic spot."
"No."
Grayson was fuming.
A gentle and cultured person like Grayson had met an unreasonable match. He was suddenly filled with a sense of helplessness and had no words.
Jay pushed Zayne out into the field. "It's more suitable for you to deal with this kind of rogue."
It was obviously derogatory, but Zayne seemed rather proud of himself. His ignorant, talentless self was finally able to be put to use.
Zayne noticed how the people here did not seem to welcome tourists at all.
Then, he took out his mobile phone and took some pictures casually as he leisurely said, "The scenery here is breathtaking. The snowflakes are bigger than pigeon eggs, and the snow is thicker than an actual person. I should take a few more photos and send them to my friends. They'd love to see the snowy scene. Oh wait, I should post them on my social media instead so that everyone on earth will come here to see this majestic view..."
The staff quickly snatched his mobile phone and said, "If you want to go to Yorks' stronghold, then go over there and do a body search."
The request seemed extremely rude, so Zayne immediately protested. "I don't want to do a body search."
"Then, you guys can go ahead and look for Yorks' stronghold all over the mountain by yourself. I promise you won't see even one signage. You lot might as well go ahead and register your names by the gates of hell."
Jay pondered for a moment. If Yorks' stronghold was truly Doomsday Organization's lair with the power of the weapons that Cole had invented, he could not underestimate Yorks' stronghold's advancement in technology.
If the people at Yorks' stronghold wanted to take an extra step of precautions, they could only submit to the order.
Furthermore, this snow mountain alone would be able to trap them for a good couple of days.
Jay took the initiative to walk to the inspection window.
A man and a woman sat by the inspection window. The man searched Jay while the woman searched Angeline.
The woman's hands were patting Angeline all over, and she ultimately stopped at Angelina's chest in a hostile manner.
Not to be outdone, Angeline nimbly grabbed onto the woman's hand.
The woman laughed sinisterly. "What are you doing? I'm trying to search you."
Angeline smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm blind. You should go ahead and do your job, Little Missy. Don't go too crazy now. Otherwise, I can't promise where I'll be touching you next."
Chapter 1264
Chapter 1264
The woman proceeded to squeeze her.
Angeline was fuming as she pulled the woman's collar open, exposing her intimates to the world. She immediately shrieked. "Ack!" Jay merely lovingly watched on as his Angeline bullied others.
The woman glared at Angeline furiously. When she searched Shirley and Josephine, she no longer dared to pull such a trick.
Other than their mobile phones being confiscated, nothing else seemed to be missing.
After the body searches, the woman reluctantly said," Come with me."
Then, she took them on the rugged and winding mountain roads.
Halfway down the road, the woman suddenly received a call.
The called ID was unknown, but the woman seemed rather excited to see the caller's name. Her voice had even changed into a high-pitched tone.
"Carsy, why did it take you so long to call me?" "Quit the nonsense. Young Master wants to have a
word with you."
Another person's voice sounded into the other line, and the woman immediately started trembling. "Young Master?"
"Who are the people that came?" A masculine tone was heard from the other end of the phone.
"They're three men and three women."
"Is there a tall and slender girl? Someone very beautiful with big eyes, a tall nose bridge, small mouth ... Oh, and the way she speaks is unbelievable..." The woman secretly glanced at Angeline and nodded." Yes."
"Hurry up and ask what her name is."
The woman glanced suspiciously at Angeline.
Of course, all of her movements were seen clearly by Jay. He could not help but pull Angeline into his arms as if he could sniff out the danger of his little princess getting snatched away. Angeline also realized something was unusual from Jay's reaction.
"Hey, what's your name?"
"Angel Lynn," Angeline said cunningly.
This name might get Cole to open the path for them. At the same time, it would perhaps not cause trouble to herself.
The woman nodded, picked up the phone, and said,"
She said her name is Angel Lynn."
"Angeline?"
The man on the other end of the phone was too stirred up as he slammed his palm onto the cactus on the table. Then, he yelled, "Which bloody b*stard placed a cactus on my table?"
A pleading voice could be heard from the side. "Young Master, it was Old Master. He said that you're too cold and abstinent and aren't close to any one of the opposite sex. You've repelled all the hearts of the girls within a hundred-mile radius. He said that you're a cactus covered in thorns. Hence, he sent a pot of cactus over."
"He has no thorns yet found so many lovers and broke the hearts of all his exes. Take it. Send this cactus back to him."
"Assemble, follow me to the front gates!"
"Yes, sir."
The phone was then hung up on the other side.
The woman's eyes were filled with confusion. Why was the young master so stirred up over this woman named Angel Lynn?
The mountain road was rugged and steep while the snow was thick. Although they were wearing non-slip sneakers, they were not equipped with complete snow equipment. The snow quickly wetted their pants Jay abruptly carried Angeline on his back.
This act of doting on his wife undoubtedly placed great pressure on Zayne and Grayson.
Zayne looked at Jay bitterly and muttered silently in his heart, 'I want to switch my brother-in-law.' Getting such a demon, wife-dotting man as a brother-! n-law was putting massive pressure on himself.
Chapter 1265
Chapter 1265
Grayson was exceedingly polite as he said to Shirley," Sis, I'll carry you."
Shirley was relatively weak, so she did not feel like trying to act strong. Hence, she agreed.
Zayne whimpered at the sight. He was already huffing when walking on his own, but he still had to consider his dignity. Hence, he said to Josephine, "Darling, I'll carry you." Josephine saw Zayne's pale face and did not know whether the cold weather or his frailness caused it. She replied, "I'll be fine walking. Just don't make me carry you."
Zayne was very moved by this. "I'm only able to marry such a great woman in this lifetime because of my good deeds in my past life."
Jay had a distaste for Zayne's lack of tact and immediately retorted, "If that's the case, then she must've ended up with you because she's done too many wicked things in her previous life." Josephine,
Zayne,
Once the female guide took them down the odd yet flat mountain roads, they reached the downhill fork.
The guide stopped to turn around and ask them, "This road on the left, according to historical records, has killed 382 people. Meanwhile, this road on the right has killed 283 tourists. Which one do you want to take?"
Zayne shivered at her words. "Why have so many people died here?"
"They fell down the mountain accidentally and died."
Zayne trembled and said, "Then, we'll take the one on the right. It has lesser casualties."
The corner of the guide's mouth was lifted. "This is as far as I'll go. As long as you keep going down this road, you will naturally see the Yorks' stronghold signage when you reach the middle of the mountain." When the guide finished speaking, she turned around and went back.
Jay pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to the left instead."
"Why?" Zayne was puzzled.
Jay explained, "The road we walked through earlier was what they called the 'Light and Dark Road'. This bifurcation is a test of life and death. If we choose the wrong route today, our entire team will be wiped out in this deep forest mountain."
Zayne stared at Jay in a daze. "How do you know that?"
Jay replied, "Just guessing."
The truth was that Jay was able to get insights by looking at the map left to him by his mother, Chloe.
In Yorks' stronghold.
Cole brought Carson with him as he hastily rushed over to the Yorks' stronghold's guest hall.
In the hall, the head of the family, Spencer Yorks, was sitting in a lounge chair leisurely with a big pipe in his mouth. Although he was almost in his 60s, he looked particularly young.
He looked like a young man in his 40s and was rather elegant and graceful.
Several beautiful concubines stood next to him. They looked like they were in their prime times and so tender-looking that one had to resist themselves from pinching them. Every one of them was captivating, and their beauty exceeded even that of the natural world.
Cole stood in front of Spencer furiously. He questioned him, "Old man, what's the meaning of you sending me a ball of cactus? Are you trying to tell me I'm a piece of trash?"
Spencer slowly retorted, "You're no longer young, yet you're refusing to continue on the Yorks family bloodline. I think calling you trash is rather subtle."
Cole nodded his head to his personal guard, Carson, and Carson hurriedly placed the cactus on the hall's table.
Chapter 1266
Chapter 1266
Spencer muttered angrily, "Carson, why are you sending it back?"
Carson was quiet.
He was Cole's person, after all. How could he betray his young master so casually?
Spencer sighed. "Oh, it's been snowing for so long. Are the gold bars in my warehouse going to be moldy? My family has no descendants. Who will take care of these gold bars for me in the future?"
Carson's devotion toward his young master could not surpass his temptation for money. He immediately changed sides and poked Cole with his finger before denouncing, "Old Master, the young master said that you've found so many lovers in your life and have broken the hearts of all your exes. This cactus would suit you most since it's full of thorns."
Cole sullenly looked at Carson with a fiery gaze from the back. He rebuked in a fury, "You little scoundrel, is money everything to you? How are you so unprofessional in your job?"
Carson hurriedly hid behind the head of the house. With Spencer having his back, Carson became even more complacent.
"I agree with you in everything, Young Master. It's just that I'm on the old master's side when it comes to you looking for a wife. There's a problem with your view on love matters and you need to correct it. Otherwise, you'll die alone."
"Do you seek death?" Cole said indignantly, "What's wrong with my view on love? I simply like the idea of simple love-only one partner for a whole lifetime. What's wrong with that?"
Carson retorted, "You like a married woman, so it's already wrong. She doesn't love you back, yet you're still trying to get entangled with her, which adds to your mistake. She ignores you, yet you still miss her and try to protect her. Your whole perspective is one huge mistake."
Cole was furious that he raised his hand...
Carson hurriedly hid under Spencer's couch.
Spencer was suave and had no shortage of women in his life. Regarding his son's narrow view on love, he had always been disgusted to the point of no return.
"Cole, there are tens of thousands of women in the world. Why are you hung up on one woman? Even in Yorks' stronghold, there are 108 smaller strongholds. You should go outside more often and take a look at those pretty girls. You'll slowly forget about the girl who made you so lovesick."
"There are tens of thousands of women in the world, but none of them are Angeline." Cole always had a
proud look on his face when he mentioned Angeline.
"What's so good about her?" Spencer had always been curious about what kind of woman managed to humble his arrogant son.
"Everything about her is beyond what any words could describe," Cole said haughtily.
She was a woman who loved her man life after life, and a woman who was as delicate as a trumpet creeper but grew into a kapok tree for her lover.
Cole thought that such a woman was a treasure.
She was a very rare encounter in a thousand-year cycle.
Spencer was very contemptuous of his son's infatuation and devotion. He teased his son ruthlessly and said, "One should be more self-aware. Cole Yorks, you've been waiting for the lady for three years, and you've been writing big bundles of love letters the whole time. Even the mountain's spring water is almost dried up by now but you haven't seen the lady's reply yet. Shouldn't you give up by now?"
If Spencer had mocked him this way in the past, Cole would have drooped his head and appeared dispirited.
However, today, Cole straightened his posture and said proudly, "Dad, I came here to tell you to completely shut down all of your formations outside today for me."
Hearing this, Spencer looked as if he was in disbelief."
You've gone insane. We've done so many evil things out there and the formation outside is like our protective charm. How can we close it down? Not only can't you shut all of them down, but we can't even shu down one of them. Only when the formation is open can I sleep peacefully."
It was rare for Cole to reply so intensely. "It has to be closed today no matter what."
Spencer looked at Carson curiously. "What's gotten into your young master now?"
Carson explained, "Old Master, there are a couple of tourists outside. One of them is Angeline, the woman the young master is constantly talking about."
The head of the family was originally lying on the recliner in a lifeless manner. When he heard that the woman his son was love-stricken for had come to theirs doors in person, he suddenly became energetic.
Chapter 1266
Chapter 1267
Chapter 1267
Spencer suddenly jumped up from his recliner in a lively manner as if he had seen gold.
"My daughter-in-law has come up the mountain. Hurry up and close all the formations."
The people in the hall were all dumbfounded.
One of his concubines reminded him. "Old Master, how can you close off all of the formations? What if the bad guys take the opportunity to enter?"
Spencer's fear of death had been obliterated. "We Yorks have 108 strongholds, yet we're afraid of a couple of tourists? What will happen if word gets out?"
The little concubine sighed silently.
In the past few years, the old master had tried hard to force the young master to marry and have children. In the end though, it was all in vain. If there was a woman who could sweep the young master off his feet, the old master would definitely treat her as his savior.
Spencer closed the roadblocks into the mountain, and Cole hurriedly rushed outside.
How could Spencer miss his son's big day? He hurriedly gathered everyone and ordered them, "Take the trumpets and sound them to give a warm welcome
to the future daughter-in-law of Yorks' stronghold." "Yes."
At this moment, Jay had chosen the left road, but it did not take him long to realize that the road was much more challenging and more dangerous.
Zayne and Josephine, who were walking in front, fell into the snow one after another. They would roll down before colliding with the trees. They both ended up looking terrible.
Zayne held onto the tree with great difficulty before pulling Josephine up. Then, he said with many grievances, "I told you that the left path is harder."
Grayson tried to brush over his boss' wrong choice and said, "The right path would have been much harder."
"How would you know that? Have you used that path before? You're just blindly worshipping him. I guess even his farts would smell nice to you."
Zayne hugged the tree trunk and began to sulk. "I'm not going anymore. I, I... I have to take care of myself. I have a responsibility to take care of my parents."
Jay's expression turned dark. "Who asked you to follow us in the first place?"
Zayne planned to retreat. "How about we head back? It's not too late to turn around now."
Angelina's determination to look for Baby Robbie was as solid as a rock. It would take much more to stop her. She retorted, "Why don't all of you head back? My husband and I will continue." Zayne was even more reluctant. "Who'll protect us with the two of you gone?"
Jay replied, "Don't worry about it. The gods aren't interested in snatching your useless life so soon."
Zayne was successfully provoked, so he proceeded to stand up. "Let's just go."
At this moment, there was a massive earthquake and trees began to move. Even the slopes were shaking and parts of the mountain started to tilt.
Zayne was so terrified that he began howling like a wolf. "F*ck, f*ck. We're done for this time. Could this be an earthquake?"
Grayson looked at the quiet, distant mountain. "It's not an earthquake."
"Is it a mudslide then?"
There were no signs of mudslides around. Hence, Grayson denied it. "It's not mudslides."
Zayne began guessing blindly. "A landslide?"
Grayson looked at the slow-moving hillside and shook his head. "Doesn't seem like it."
At this time, Jay suddenly uttered, "The trees were moving in an orderly manner, the mountain sloped slowly, and the roadblocks were cleared. It's more like someone has turned off the formations in the
mountain."
Jay's mouth curled up into a wicked smile. "It seems that we have really come to the right place. This should be Doomsday Organization's lair."
Zayne shrieked like a pig. "So, that means it's time for us to die. Ack, I don't want to go just yet. The first half of my life was miserable. The second half of it is just about to begin happily. Why is God so unfair to me?"
Chapter 1268
Chapter 1268
Jay looked at Zayne. Although this guy's voice had been disguised, he would continuously get carried away at the moment of crisis. After a careful look at him, it felt a little more familiar. He proceeded to press him. "If you don't want to die, then stop talking."
It seemed like a magical phrase as it immediately sealed Zayne's lips.
Soon enough, a miracle happened.
As if fairies had enchanted the steep mountain road, it suddenly became flat. The thick snow looked as if it had all been cleaned up, revealing some vibrant greenery.
Zayne said with lingering fear, "Those who survive a catastrophe are bound to have good fortune later on."
Josephine and Sis Shirley both expressed the joy of surviving a catastrophe.
Jay's handsome face suddenly became colder than the surrounding snow. He knew best that the reason for this cleared formation was because Angeline had sold her name in exchange. He greeted Cole silently in his heart, 'Leecher.'
Angeline thought of something and suddenly told Jay, "Darling, once we enter the stronghold, you must never reveal your identity. If we have to, let me be the one who does it. I think Cole Yorks wouldn't make things hard for me."
Just as Jay was about to refute, Angeline added, "A slight impatience will ruin things for us, darling.
You'll have to think about the kids and me."
Jay responded, "Alright."
Jay's identity was akin to a double-edged sword.
He was Chloe Yorks' son. In this aspect, the Yorks might treat him differently.
However, he was also the Ares family's son, and the Areses were the Yorks' mortal nemesis.
Before he could figure out the Yorks' treatment toward him, Jay could not expose his identity at will.
Angeline had to make such a decision after thorough consideration.
After all the roadblocks were cleared, the road down the mountain spiraled down the apex. It had become somewhat complicated but was still an open area.
After walking for about an hour, they finally saw a vast flat land in front of them.
The old-looking buildings were built on flat ground. It was like a temple with flying eaves and pavilions. They overlapped each other and were hidden halfway through the mountain.
The odd part was that there was no snow around Yorks' stronghold, and the surrounding temperature was obviously a few degrees higher. The heat made Zayne and the others feel warm as spring. They wanted to stick around here longer.
The group then walked toward Yorks' stronghold's gate.
A concrete wall surrounded Yorks' stronghold, and many people were standing on it with trumpets in their hands.
Jay whispered to Angeline, "It seems like we didn't come to the wrong place, Angeline. It truly is that leecher."
Spencer looked at the approaching tourists and saw that two of the women were being carried by the men down the mountain, while one of the women had almost collapsed in the arms of the other man. She was being dragged over. He narrowed his eagle eyes i n confusion.
"Cole, which one of them is your Angeline? It seems like Dad's eyes are getting bad now. I've been staring at them for a long time and can't find anything special about all three women." Spencer's eyes were still as sharp as ever, but he wanted to take the opportunity to tease his son.
Cole craned his neck out and watched for a long time as he could not see Shirley nor Angeline's faces. He did not dare to guess rashly but still pondered in his heart. 'Angeline is a martial artist. She shouldn't be so weak as to need someone to carry her down the mountain.'
Spencer continued to tease his son. "So, you like the sickly type? Ahaha. Well, from now on, you may carry your wife up and down the mountain every day. It's good exercise."
Cole shot a gloomy look at his father. "Angeline is not the sickly type."
The old master suddenly became vigilant when he heard his words.
Chapter 1269
Chapter 1269
His originally loving pupils were filled with slyness and hostility. "You'll have to be sure, Cole. Don't lead wolves into our home."
At this time, Jay and the others had already arrived in front of them.
Cole stared at each face carefully and failed to recognize the face he was looking for. He felt his hope turning into nothing, and the light in his beautiful eyes was instantly extinguished. "Where's Angeline?" As if he had withstood a hard blow, his originally perky voice turned depressed.
Angeline timidly said, "I'm Angel Lynn." She deliberately disguised her voice.
Cole proceeded to stare at Angeline...
After disguising herself, Angeline still retained most of her originally beautiful facial features, but it was still a completely different face altogether.
Cole could not recognize Angeline and felt that he had been fooled. He was immediately fuming. "You said your name is Angeline?"
Angeline pretended to be timid. "Yes, it is. Yes."
"You dare lie to me?" Cole was enraged.
Angeline said in tears, "Mister, I'm not lying to you. I really am Angel Lynn. A-n-g-e-1, L-y-n-n."
With such an explanation from Angeline, Cole's handsome face immediately turned green and pale.
Spencer could not hold back his laughter when he saw his son's expression. "Puhaha. It turns out there's been a mishap, my son. This girl here is Angel Lynn, not your Angeline. You're mistaken." Cole was in a fit, and he shouted at the men on the walls. "What are you looking at? Get down here and throw them off Death Valley."
"Yes."
Jay's eyes suddenly became gloomy. He gently placed Angeline, who was on his back, on the ground. Then, his sharp gaze fell on Spencer.
He thought in his heart that this man and Cole looked a bit similar. Their faces and mannerisms were gentle and elegant but they looked like the typical wolves in sheep's clothing. This person should undoubtedly be his uncle.
The men in Yorks' stronghold quickly surrounded Jay and the others, but Jay only looked at Spencer calmly.
"Are you Old Master Yorks?"
Spencer was a little surprised. This fellow was on the verge of death, yet he appeared unbothered. It was a quality that the Yorks family had.
"You really are unafraid of death. How dare you talk to me with that attitude?" Spencer's loving expression disappeared, and a fierce look appeared on his elegantly handsome face.
Cole added, "It's not that he isn't afraid of death. But it seems as if he doesn't know where he is."
Jay chuckled slightly. "I carried my whole family and endured much hardship to arrive at this place. We're not here to throw our lives away. I came to send word."
"Send word?" Cole and Spencer looked at each other.
"Spit it out." Spencer's voice rang out.
Jay glanced at Angeline and saw that her face had turned white from the cold. Her hands were frozen. Feeling distressed because of her, he requested the Yorks. "Old Master Yorks, we're exhausted from walking for a long time on the mountain road. May we borrow space to rest our feet and have some meals?"
Spencer was stunned.
The men around them started laughing at Jay's ignorance.
Angeline hated it when anyone ridiculed her Jaybie. She tried to put in a few words. "Old Master Yorks, I'm not sure if you've noticed, but I'm blind. My big sister i s terminally ill. If it wasn't for keeping our promises of passing a message regarding Ron, we wouldn't have risked our lives to make this trip."
At this moment, Cole noticed that this Angel Lynn was indeed a blind woman. The feeling of loss in his heart was getting worse. He was even more convinced that she was by no means his beloved Angeline. Spencer heard that they had information sent by Ron, and he suddenly became even more impatient.
"Ronnie sent a message?"

After hesitating for a while, he ordered his subordinates, "Invite them in."
A few younger men walked over. Their tone was not at all friendly as they said, "Let's go."
Jay winked at Grayson and Zayne.
Truthfully, Zayne was currently too afraid to speak. His footsteps looked somewhat unstable as he walked, and Josephine had to support him.
Jay and Angeline walked at the back, and after entering the lobby, the intense warmth made Jay's frowning brows slightly at ease.
Spencer was already sitting at the top of the guest hall. His seat was covered with a layer of tiger skin. His falcon-like eyes continued to stare at Jay and the others.
"Can you tell me now what message Ronnie has asked you to pass to me?"
Jay stared at Spencer, his handsome face filled with dissatisfaction. "Is this your hospitality? Can't you pour something hot for us to drink beforehand-"
"I think you're asking to get beaten up!" Carson jumped up.
Spencer resisted the anger in his heart and said to Carson impatiently, "Pour some hot tea!"
At the moment, Cole was in a depressed mood. He was lying on his father's recliner.
Carson handed the hot cup of tea to Jay and the others. Jay tasted it first before giving it to Angeline.
After finishing the tea, Jay uttered again, "I heard that Yorks' stronghold's roast beef and lamb are the best. I wonder if I'll have the honor of tasting it today?"
Spencer pressed his hands on the armrest with force. His nails were almost piercing into it.
This stinking brat was asking for too much.
However, Jay looked as if he was unwilling to leak any information unless they were taken good care of.
Spencer could only suppress his anger and said with a forced smile.
"We haven't prepared any roast beef and lamb. Why don't you all make do with what we have and stay for a while? We'll slaughter a cow and sheep as a treat for you." Jay pretended to be reserved. "Then... We'll have to trouble you to arrange a couple of rooms for us."
Spencer had reached the point he could no longer bear.
However, Ronnie was his favorite nephew. He would take any news that came from him very seriously.
"Go, prepare rooms for our guest."
Jay took Angeline and the others out of the hall before going inside into the guest rooms.
As soon as they left, Spencer could not hold it in any longer and started cursing, "I'm pissed. Where did that weirdo come from? And how dare he demand so much from me..."
It was the first time Cole had seen his father so angry. Usually, his dad would instigate others with dignity, but now, he was irritated by an unknown brat. The anger in his heart had even erupted so naturally.
Cole's smile grew bigger as Spencer's anger grew more substantial. He finally had the chance to retort and had the confidence to tease the old man. "Haha. Didn't you laugh at me for acknowledging the wrong person? You didn't make a mistake like mine, but you're also being fooled like a monkey. I don't think you're much better than me."
Spencer roared with his hands on his hips. "Just you wait. We'll slaughter the pigs later once we feed them."
Cole raised his hands, and one could see the finger of his left hand was mutilated. Upon seeing it, Cole's eyes were filled with sadness.
"I haven't killed anyone in three years."
Spencer looked at his son speechlessly. "Doing all this for a woman, is it worth it?"
Cole had a firm expression on his face.
On the other side.
Carson brought Jay and the others to the guest rooms.
However, Jay was utterly dissatisfied with the standard-looking room. "I want a suite with a kitchen."
