Ch. 1491..1500

Chapter 1491

"Anyone who passes this level will be awarded the title of Doomsday Admiral and be granted with the authority to lead Doomsday's Tiger and Wolf Armies.1 When Spencer was done speaking, he looked around him only to see everyone backing away. Even the crowd had fallen silent.

Spencer frowned when no one came forward to challenge the sky barrier. His frown formed creases that were so deep that they could squash a fly.

"Where's Cole? Where the hell is he? Summon him to take the lead in crashing the barrier." Whenever Spencer made a decision and realized that no one was responding to it, he would drag his precious son out to serve as cannon fodder.

Cole stood in the crowd with his arms folded and walked out with a sigh when he heard Spencer calling his name.

"Cole Yorks, as the young master of Yorks Stronghold, you have to take the lead in crossing the barrier. Give everyone an idea of what it's like."

Cole said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll be eternally doomed once I fall into the abyss?"

Spencer's lips started twitching. He glared at him.

What nonsense! How can a nimble man like you fall into the abyss so easily?"

Cole replied, "Better safe than sorry."

"Why did I give birth to a coward like you?" Spencer hissed.

Cole rolled his eyes at Spencer and exposed his scheme. "You know better than anyone who you set up the sky barrier for. Don't drag me out as cannon fodder just because they're chickening out at the last minute."

Both Grand Old Master Yorks and Spencer looked a little embarrassed.

Spencer asked Grand Old Master Yorks in a low voice, "What was the conclusion you and Jay came up with the other day again, Dad? Did he agree to take on the sky barrier himself?"

Grand Old Master Yorks looked awkward. "He said that his reputation in Yorks Stronghold is terrible, so even if he becomes the admiral, the Tiger and Wolf Armies may not necessarily want to follow his lead." He then came to a sudden realization. "Oh no, Jay can't have decided to back out and give up on challenging the barrier today, can he?

Spencer said helplessly, "It's so late now and he still hasn't turned up. I don't think he wants to challenge the barrier at all."

Grand Old Master Yorks had always been sensitive about his reputation. If the sky barrier that he had painstakingly set-up did not result in an earth-shattering competition between immortals but instead turned out to be a no-show, he was afraid that others would mock him for being irresponsible.

"Ahem." Grand Old Master Yorks cleared his throat and beckoned to Cole.

Cole strolled up to him. "Yes, Grandpa?"

Grand Old Master Yorks lowered his voice and said, "Go and cross the barrier. I'll reward you after that."

"What's the reward?"

"Gold, silver, jewelry, take whatever you want."

"Those things will eventually be mine once you and Spencer die," Cole said.

Seeing that reasoning with him did not work, Grand Old Master Yorks resorted to force. "You're the young master, so you have the obligation to set an example for the villagers."

Cole crossed his arms and stared at him in a calm, unruffled manner. "I'm not going."

Grand Old Master Yorks was indignant. "You brat. Are you going to just stand around and watch your grandpa get turned into a laughing stock?"

Cole stared at Grand Old Master Yorks with a sharp gaze and took the opportunity to blackmail him. "I'll go if you stop forcing me to marry Shirley."

Grand Old Master Yorks was in a dilemma...

"Hmm?"

Cole gloated at Grand Old Master Yorks.

Grand Old Master Yorks sank into a dilemma, hesitating...

While Cole was gloating, the onlookers started clearing the way.

At the far end of the path, Jay led his wife and children, as well as Josephine, Zayne, and the Ghost members, toward the sky barrier.

 

Chapter 1492

Chapter 1492

Grand Old Master Yorks went from being ingratiating one second to grumbling the next. He cast Cole aside like an old shoe, saying, "Get out of the way. If you don't want to cross the barriers, then don't stand here and block my grandson's way."

Cole, "..."

Grand Old Master Yorks and Spencer greeted them with a smile. "We've been expecting you, Jay," Spencer said.

Jay said, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

Grand Old Master Yorks gave him a breezy smile. "It's fine. I'm glad you're here."

After a brief greeting, Spencer cut to the chase and said, "The elders have been waiting for you, Jay. Go on now."

Jay turned to look at Baby Robbie, his dashing face looking solemn and dignified.

Baby Robbie squeezed a dazzling smile at him. With his eyebrows curved into crescent moons, he looked devastatingly charming.

He then handed Mommy and Daddy a reassuring glance before taking a step forward, saying, "Grandpa, I'll take on the barrier on Daddy's behalf."

As soon as Baby Robbie's voice fell, the crowd was heard speaking in hushed tones.

"Huh? A child is going to cross the barrier? He's just seeking his own doom, isn't he?"

A villager stepped forward and said sternly, "This isn't a joke, Young Master Jenson. When you broke through the barrier on land last time, you managed to break through six barriers only. This is the sky barrier where all top ten elders will step in and fight. If you lose or take one careless step, you'll fall into the abyss."

When Jenson led Doomsday troops to attack the military intelligence division back then, his good leadership had earned him praises from Doomsday's soldiers.

At this very moment, they did not want the talented Jenson to perish in a meaningless place like this.

What they did not know was that the person who was currently challenging the sky barrier was Baby Robbie who had been practicing martial arts since childhood, not Jenson.

Baby Robbie showed the villagers a grateful smile, saying, "Mulan did it for her father back then, so allow me to challenge the sky barrier for my father today."

The villagers fell silent when they realized that Baby Robbie had made up his mind. Everyone broke into a cold sweat as they awaited the result of the competition.

Jay glanced at the ten chains and whispered to Baby Robbie, "Do you remember what I taught you?"

Baby Robbie nodded. "Don't worry, Daddy. I remember it all."

Baby Robbie then turned to Mommy. When he saw anxiousness written all over Angeline's face, Baby Robbie walked up to her and gave her a hug, saying," Don't worry about me, Mommy. I know how to protect myself."

Angeline nodded.

Zayne and Josephine raised their fists and cheered." Good luck!"

Baby Robbie turned around and strutted toward the ten iron chains.

The top ten elders stood on the iron chains, their hands wrapped firmly in white silk. White silk was both a soft and rigid material, which made it suitable for gliding on the iron chains and launching long-range attacks.

Baby Robbie pulled out a buckle from his arms and fastened one end to his left wrist and the other to the iron chain. With a powerful roar, Baby Robbie glided over to the center of the iron chain.

The villagers were shocked when they saw the buckle.

"Attaboy. How did he know that he can use a buckle?"

One advantage of using a buckle was that it could prevent Baby Robbie from falling into the abyss, which was also tantamount to giving wings to a tiger.

Baby Robbie glided to the center of the iron chain and grabbed the chain that he had buckled onto with both hands without warning. He then climbed up at the speed of a leopard. In the blink of an eye, he had already flipped his way to the iron chain and stood on top of it.

"This kid is cunning, we need to be cautious. Don't lose to him again like what happened last time," Elder Master Everlast said.

The top ten elders exchanged glances with each other and threw out ten white silks in unison. When paired with strength from their wrists, the white silk became both fast and sharp. Like an inescapable net, they attempted to tie Baby Robbie up.

Baby Robbie had a more solid foundation in martial arts compared to Jenson and had practiced methods of channeling internal force throughout his body. When the white silk bound his body, he closed his eyes and cast his mind back to the things that Daddy taught him last night...

Chapter 1493

Chapter 1493

"Baby Robbie, you're going to perform a play with Daddy. Everyone knows how this play is going to begin, but only you and I know how it's going to end.

"I want you to break through the barrier on Daddy's behalf and retrieve Doomsday's admiral token. When the time comes, you'll lead the Tiger and Wolf Armies to the military intelligence division. Since you know your way around the military intelligence division, you can take advantage of the rapport you and Jens share by coordinating together from the inside out and throw dust in their eyes. This way, you can definitely cause a disturbance in the military intelligence division. As for me, I'll stay in Mount Pearl to keep the 100,000 people in Yorks Stronghold safe. By doing so, the military intelligence division will struggle to guard both sides...

"Baby Robbie, one wrong step in this mission and we will all perish in this foreign land. I hope you'll come back safely so we can all return to Imperial Capital as one family again."

Jay's voice sounded extremely solemn, but as soon as he talked about the future, his charming eyes were filled with longing.

Baby Robbie nodded in a dignified manner. "Don't

worry, Daddy. I'll accomplish the task."

Baby Robbie's black pupils refocused, and as the white silk bound his hands, he drew out a dagger from his sleeve to quickly free himself by cutting them.

As for the remaining white silk, they were all snapped by the bursts of his internal force.

"Whoa, this young child is born for martial arts. His internal force is astounding," the crowd exclaimed in wonder.

Afraid that others did not know that this was his precious great-grandson, Grand Old Master Yorks turned his head to the ones standing around him and boasted. "My Jens is a genius..."

Cole was standing to his right, hence when Grand Old Master Yorks saw Cole, his smile froze on his face. His voice then turned stiff as he said, "You lazy good-for-nothing. Your good talents have all gone to waste."

Cole was like an innocent victim caught in the crossfire. Oh, how suffocating.

Everyone was full of praise for Baby Robbie, but Jay's dashing face gradually turned sour.

The ability to channel internal force was not something that could be accomplished overnight. This was an ability that needed to be built up over a long period of time. When Baby Robbie left home four years ago, Jay knew he did not have a solid

foundation in channeling internal force.

It was clear that Baby Robbie had gone through devil training to obtain such achievement.

Jay felt his heart aching for his son, aching for the fact that Baby Robbie had lost both his innocence and his childhood.

On the iron chain, the elders tried their best to stop Baby Robbie from getting through, but now that the white silk had been cut off, they could only fight with their bare hands. Baby Robbie was as cunning as a loach, weaving his way between the gaps.

As he had set his mind on winning, he did not plan to engage in face-to-face combat with the elders.

Defense was complementary while advancing was key. With that, the difficulty level of this challenge was reduced significantly.

Soon, the elders realized that they had been forced to retreat by a considerable distance.

In order to win, the top ten elders each displayed their own special abilities, but adversity only made Baby Robbie stronger. Furthermore, his martial arts moves and routine were completely strange and baffling. It confused people greatly.

He looked like he was naturally gifted for martial arts as if every organ in his body was designed for martial arts. His palm techniques were unpredictable, his fists and feet were vigorous and strong, his movements were agile, and his speed was like lightning.

Soon, the elders were forced to retreat all the way to the other end of the sky barrier.

The crowd burst into cheers. "That's awesome!"

Grand Old Master Yorks was so excited that he grabbed Spencer's hand, asking, "Spencer! Spencer! How long did he take to break through the barrier? Is h e faster than your sister?"

Spencer was completely stupefied by Baby Robbie's speedy breakthrough, and after a very long time, he smacked his lips before saying, "He's nearly twice as fast."

Grand Old Master Yorks let out a burst of hearty laughter and said with great pride, "He sure is my great-grandson."

He then raised his voice and shouted at the cheerleaders. "Cheer louder! Don't you have energy? Why do you sound so soft?"

When Baby Robbie came back, Grand Old Master

Yorks picked Baby Robbie up with great excitement and spun several times around. "Haha, attaboy! You're really awesome."

Baby Robbie felt a little embarrassed by the praises he was getting. His eyes were curved like crescent moons, which made him look bright and warm just like the innocent young man he used to be.

"Young Master Jens, the Publicity Department would like to interview you. We're curious to know how a young man like you who has only practiced martial arts for several years attained such a splendid achievement?"

Chapter 1494

Chapter 1494

More than a dozen microphones were pushed into Baby Robbie's face.

Baby Robbie gazed at Daddy and smiled. "Someone once told me that our fists and punches have a limit, so the ultimate weapon to victory lies in our intentions. I want to protect Mount Pearl's villagers, but I want to protect my mommy even more."

Grand Old Master Yorks and Spencer were moved to tears.

Spencer stared at Cole in exasperation. "You should learn how to be a son from him."

Cole stared dazedly at Baby Robbie and sighed. "Did Jay just perform a magic trick of turning Baby Robbie into Jenson?" He's really hard to understand!"

Baby Robbie obtained Doomsday's admiral token with success.

Grand Old Master Yorks awarded Baby Robbie the tiger token in front of the top ten elders and the villagers, saying, "With this tiger token, you now have the authority to command and lead Yorks Stronghold's Tiger and Wolf Armies."

Baby Robbie was still grinning. He stared at all the villagers and said with great modesty, "Thank you all

for believing in me. I will not let you down."

Angeline could finally take the weight off her shoulders. Jay embraced her and suggested gently," I'll go home and reward our child with something delicious."

Angeline said mischievously, "Aren't you going to also reward your wife for giving you such an outstanding son?"

Jay brushed her nose and smiled. "You're the heroine most deserving of this reward."

Angeline smiled like a blooming flower.

At noon that day, Jay and Angeline prepared a table full of scrumptious dishes. For some reason, Jay suddenly suggested, "Wheel Sis Thirteen out to join us in this celebration." Josephine stood up. "I'll wheel her out."

The family gathered around the round table and ate with great delight.

At dinner, Jay asked Sis Thirteen, "How old are you this year?"

Sis Thirteen had not fully recovered yet, hence her voice still sounded slightly feeble. "I'm 11 this year."

Jay pretended to ask casually, "How old were you when you entered the military intelligence division?"

Sis Thirteen replied, "I don't remember."

Jay's hand that was holding onto a fork and knife froze slightly. A tinge of viciousness flashed across his eyes but it quickly returned to normal.

"Do you miss home?"

Sis Thirteen shook her head. "I don't remember what home looks like anymore."

As Angeline listened to Jay and Sis Thirteen's conversation, she recalled what Jay had said to her a few days ago. Whether the seedling would grow straight or crooked was not up to her to decide but her guardian.

Angeline grew a little uneasy.

After the meal, Josephine and Zayne went to wash the dishes on their own initiative.

Baby Zetty and Jay were playing chess.

Baby Robbie embraced Angeline and acted like a baby. "Your food is fantastic, Mommy."

Angeline stroked Baby Robbie's head with a smile and said, "I'll cook for you often if you like it."

"Mm." Baby Robbie buried his head in her arms, his eyes filled with tears.

He was about to bid farewell to Mommy soon but could not bear to part with her.

Chapter 1495

Chapter 1495

Sis Thirteen sat in a wheelchair, staring fixedly at Baby Robbie with a pair of black and lucid eyes.

She was extremely puzzled. Why did this boy look so much like the military intelligence division's Lil Fox?

However, he was loftier and colder than Lil Fox. He would not greet her when he saw her either. It was as if he did not know her. i

Baby Robbie narrowed his eyes at Sis Thirteen and imitated Jenson's indifferent tone, questioning her," Hey, what are you looking at?"

Sis Thirteen asked curiously, "Are you Lil Fox?"

Baby Robbie replied in a monotonous tone, "You got the wrong person."

Baby Robbie had been a great actor since he was a child. After joining the military intelligence division, he was able to give full play to his talents. When he imitated Jenson, he was able to do so flawlessly from his attire to the fine details of the accessories he wore. He even nailed Jenson's cold expression, unwavering gestures, and the maturity he displayed when he frowned and contemplated things. Sis Thirteen was slightly startled. There was a touch of disappointment in her eyes.

She had indeed seemed to recognize the wrong person. This was not the Lil Fox who would raise his eyebrows and put on a domineering expression when he spoke.

Angeline criticized Baby Robbie, "Jens, you have to be gentle when you talk to girls or you won't find a wife next time."

Baby Robbie responded dryly, "Okay."

He then got up from the couch and bid farewell to Mommy. "I'm leaving now, Mommy. Take good care of yourself."

When he said those words, his voice might have sounded unwavering, but his eyes were already shimmering with tears.

Before Angeline could say anything to him, Baby Robbie ran off in a flurry. The tiger token tied around his waist was partly hidden and partly visible.

Sis Thirteen's gaze fell on the tiger token hidden away on Baby Robbie's waist. She stared at the word 'Admiral' engraved on it, her eyes condensing a little.

Sis Thirteen then found an excuse to return to her bedroom and turned on the intelligence system she brought with her, keying in a series of codes.

It translated to: [Jenson is leading the Tiger and Wolf Armies to the military intelligence division!]

As Baby Robbie left in a hurry, Angeline sat there looking lost and in a daze.

Jay tossed the chess piece in his hand and walked over. He picked her up princess-style and walked toward the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Jay embraced Angeline from behind with great affection and rested his delicate chin on Angeline's head while apologizing cautiously. "I'm sorry, Angeline."

"I knew what you were trying to do when Baby Robbie went to challenge the sky barrier," Angeline said with tears in her eyes.

She knew him all too well. Jay was a broad-minded man whose love knew no bounds. This was done for the sake of the old, the weak women, and the children of Mount Pearl. He could not bring himself to just stand on the sideline and watch without doing anything.

If he wanted to deal with the evil forces of the military intelligence division, then he needed to rely on Baby Robbie because he was the perfect candidate for this job.

However, now that Jay had put both of his sons' lives on the line, he would have to bear the risk of losing both of them. This was certainly not an easy decision to make especially for someone like Jay who loved his sons so much.

Angeline could sympathize with his pain and struggles.

Angeline looked at Jay's thin face and stroked it with her hands, then said with an aching heart, "I don't blame you."

Jay hugged her tighter, put his mouth to her ear, and whispered, "Believe in me. I'll bring our children back safely. Don't worry, alright?"

"Mm."

Chapter 1496

Chapter 1496

It started drizzling again after lunch.

After Angeline fell asleep, Jay pushed the door open and went out quietly.

At this moment in the living room, Grayson and Storm were guarding at the stairwell whereas Finn was tutoring Baby Zetty.

Jay whispered to them, "Don't let Sis Thirteen out of your sight."

"Yes."

Jay soon came to Grand Old Master Yorks' halfmountain villa.

Grand Old Master Yorks was surprised by this unexpected visit.

"What brings you here, JJ?"

Jay stood in front of Grand Old Master Yorks with a sullen face and hastened to say, "Is it true that Uncle Zechariah got his superior martial arts skills from his master? Is it also true that his master's martial arts skills are way superior?"

Grand Old Master Yorks was puzzled by what Jay was trying to say and asked with a bewildered look on his face, "Why are you suddenly asking questions about

Zechariah's master?"

Jay said eagerly, "I want to see him, Grandpa."

Grand Old Master Yorks laughed. "Are you looking for a teacher, JJ? You can't rush things because martial arts isn't something that you can learn in a short period of time..."

Jay said, "Take me to him, Grandpa. I have other intentions in mind."

Grand Old Master Yorks was aware that this was a critical period. Besides, Jay was a wise man who would map out his strategies first, so it stood to reason that he would not make this suggestion for no

reason.

"Okay, come with me." Grand Old Master Yorks led Jay to Mount Pearl's peak.

As they hiked up the mountain, he told Jay about this master's strange habits so that Jay would not feel awkward in case he was given the cold shoulder later.

"Listen, JJ, Zechariah's master is Zack Taylor. He's a person with a very peculiar personality. He's obsessed with martial arts and will either practice martial arts or meditate all day, refusing to see anyone-not even me. However, that old man did not practice his martial arts for no reason. His martial arts skills have already attained perfection now.

"I don't know why you want to see him, but I must warn you that this strange old man isn't in a good mood lately because of Zechariah's death. He might

not want to see you."

Jay's dark pupils emanated a determined glow.

Soon, they came to Mount Pearl's peak. When they looked down at Yorks Stronghold at this moment, the scattered houses and fertile fields looked just like a tiny drop in the ocean.

Jay looked down at Yorks Stronghold and sighed with emotions. "How did you manage to protect the villagers as well as all the plants and trees here all these years, Grandpa? What was the reason that kept you going?"

Grand Old Master Yorks looked at Jay's charming face and fair skin. Though his face and complexion seemed unstained by the hardships of life, Grand Old Master Yorks knew from those dark and profound pupils that Jay had gone through the vicissitudes of life. Thus, he was filled with the wisdom of the world.

That was why he could relate to the hardships he had gone through all these years.

Unlike Cole, though he looked like an experienced veteran who had been through rain and storm, who was, in fact, just a child who had not fully grown.

"I'm getting old, JJ. This should be the age I happily retire. But just look at the things happening in Mount Pearl. Our children are forced to stay in this old mountain forest. I can't accept this. I've let their ancestors down. It's my fault for not leading them down the smooth path. The imminent danger that

Mount Pearl is facing today is a result of the things we did in our early years. If we could go back in time, JJ, I'd choose to be a good citizen so that our future generations can walk openly and receive their education out there in the world..."

Jay gazed at the Grand Old Master Yorks and teased, saying, "It looks like bandits can be sentimental and righteous people too."

Grand Old Master Yorks said with a smile, "Humans are born good. Do you think people are born wicked? Look at the people in Yorks Stronghold. Many of them can't even bring themselves to kill a rabbit yet they're now paying for our sins. Why must they live in fear and trepidation like us when they did no wrong?"

Chapter 1497

Chapter 1497

Grand Old Master Yorks raised both his hands as he said, "When the older generation, those with blood on their hands, eventually die, I hope that the younger generation will live an honorable and fair life. I hope that... there'll be no external forces forcing them to do something that they don't want to do."

Jay comforted him. "After we solve the issue involving Mr. Boye, I think your wish can come true."

After traveling for a little more, they arrived at a simple-looking courtyard located in the pine forest on the top of the mountain.

Grand Old Master Yorks and Jay stood in front of the courtyard. They were about to knock on the door when they heard a strong voice from inside.

"Grand Old Master Yorks, why did you bring an outsider with you?" The other party's voice had a tone of condemnation and complaint.

Grand Old Master Yorks felt offended and replied," What do you mean?! Jay's my grandson. He's from the Yorks' stronghold."

"Hmph, to save his son, he commanded the Tiger and Wolf Armies from Doomsday to leave Mount Pearl. When the troops of the military intelligence division

arrive at Mount Pearl, what will your grandson do to fight against their troops?"

Grand Old Master Yorks tried his best to defend Jay." It's all a misunderstanding. Jay plans to stifle the forces of the military intelligence division and keep them outside Mount Pearl."

"Haha, do you really believe in him or are you just protecting him? Everyone knows that the Tiger and Wolf Armies were trained specifically to defend

Mount Pearl. Only by staying at Mount Pearl can they exert their greatest power. As such, Mount Pearl is the best battlefield to destroy the enemy. Your baby grandson wants to station the Tiger and Wolf Armies at the military intelligence division that is thousands of miles away. Can't you see that he's being selfish?"

Zack said indignantly, "He wants to use our elite troops to save his son. Grand Old Master Yorks, you can clearly see that he's being selfish, but you still insist on fulfilling his wishes. Do you think you're doing right by our brothers who have died in battle?"

Grand Old Master Yorks said angrily, "Zack, you're not being fair to my grandson!"

Jay stopped Grand Old Master Yorks and said to him softly, "Grandpa, let me talk to him."

Zack said, "I don't talk to outsiders. Good day."

Jay said, "Aren't you the least bit curious as to why I'm here?"

Zack sneered and said, "My apprentice is dead and there are no guardians in Yorks Stronghold. You're here just to have me fight your battle and to stabilize public opinion. Am I right?"

Jay said, "It's true that I want to ask you to be a part of this battle, but it's not to stabilize public opinion. On the contrary, I want you to cause chaos."

As soon as he heard that, Zack kept silent.

Zack racked his brains and could not figure out Jay's intentions. At that moment, he thought back to the rumors about Jay that said he was the reincarnation of an immortal. Not only was he extraordinary- looking, but he was also a wise strategist.

"Come in. But, Grand Old Master Yorks is not allowed i n. I'm in a bad mood and it'll only become worse if I have to look at him for more than a minute."

Grand Old Master Yorks was furious when he heard that. He shouted, "I don't want to step into your dirty house anyway!"

The wooden door creaked as it was being opened and Jay walked in gracefully.

As soon as he entered the house, the wooden door creaked as it closed.

The courtyard was not spacious. Zack sat on the King's Seal that was at the center of the courtyard. He was meditating with his legs crossed. Jay walked to him, stopped, and looked at him quietly.

Zack was moving his hands in front of him when a puff of white smoke appeared.

Jay had never seen a person with such talent in martial arts. It made him feel as if he had just walked into paradise and met a fairy.

"I don't know if you can fight off Doomsday's Tiger and Wolf Armies, Master Zack?" Jay probed.

Zack stopped meditating and opened his eyes to look at Jay. "Why should I be worried about the mere Tiger and Wolf Armies?"

Chapter 1498

Chapter 1498

Jay chuckled. "Master Zack, a lone twig is easy to break, but bundle a few together and they become tough. The right setting is crucial for this plan to work. You may be able to fight against a few thousand soldiers from the Tiger and Wolf Armies. However, if they're spread out and their troops are increased, you may not be able to fight all of them."

Zack kept silent because he knew that what Jay said was justified.

Zack sneered, "Since you're aware of this, what do you need me for? As long as you strategize the Tiger and Wolf Armies well, the military intelligence division will crumble before you. But you're being selfish. You moved the Tiger and Wolf Armies to the military intelligence division's base to protect your son. The Yorks' stronghold is weak in their defense now, so you need me to comfort the public. This way, they won't make any complaints."

Jay's smiling face turned gloomy in an instant. "My son, Baby Robbie, did set out with 5,000 elite soldiers.... " i

Zack was furious. "What did you just say?"

Jay looked at Zack sharply and said with an arrogant expression on his face, "But he didn't take the Tiger

and Wolf Armies. He's with ordinary elite soldiers."

A hint of confusion flashed through Master Zack's face...

"Why are you doing this?"

Jay said, "Angeline and I care deeply about our children's lives. However, we also feel responsible for every single parent in Yorks Stronghold, so we're willing to sacrifice our little family to protect the 100,000 villagers."

Master Zack's face slowly became red with shame.

Jay remained calm and steady throughout their entire conversation even though Zack had accused him of wrongdoings earlier.

When Jay defended himself, he was never impatient. It was no wonder that the ruthless Grand Old Master Yorks loved this grandson so much.

Zack said, "I think I know why you came to me."

Jay suddenly knelt in front of Master Zack. His fatherly love was undoubtedly shining at that moment.

"Master Zack, my child means everything to me and Angeline. I've asked the Tiger and Wolf Armies that were supposed to report to my son to stay in Mount Pearl, but for him to go on a difficult mission without backup, I'm ashamed of myself for doing that to my own son."

Master Zack looked at Jay in astonishment and said," You're kneeling before me?"

Jay continued talking, "I implore Master Zack to be a part of this mission and aid my son."

Master Zack laughed out loud and said, "Today is a wonderful day. Grand Old Master Yorks has sent me such a kind, righteous, and courageous disciple. I'm overjoyed."

Jay was dumbfounded.

He did not know the meaning of kneeling before someone who was on top of the King's Seal.

Master Zack stood up from the King's Seal and helped Jay up. He smiled as he said, "I misunderstood you. Jay, I like your attitude. No worries, I'll make sure your son comes home to you." Jay bowed three times in front of Zack. "Thank you."

Jay and Zack walked out of the courtyard. Grand Old Master Yorks was beyond furious when he saw the red mark on Jay's forehead.

"Zack, you b*stard! You made my precious grandson kneel and beg you? Jay, why are you doing this to yourself?"

Jay laughed and said, "Grandpa, I knelt in front of him voluntarily."

Master Zack happily said, "He knelt before me on the King's Seal, so he's an apprentice that God sent me. I'm very happy."

Chapter 1499

Chapter 1499

Grand Old Master Yorks glared at Master Zack and said angrily, "You somehow cheated Jay and got him to be your apprentice. You, you, you... are too cunning. Tell me honestly, did you already know that my baby grandson was coming and deliberately waited by the King's Seal for him?"

Master Zack smiled and said, "Heaven's secrets must not be revealed to mere mortals."

Grand Old Master Yorks stared at Master Zack angrily and muttered, "Didn't you have a bone to pick with my precious grandson? Why do you want him as your apprentice?"

Master Zack looked at Jay and said, "I like his righteous attitude."

Grand Old Master Yorks teased him, saying, "Didn't you just say that he's selfish?"

Master Zack said a little awkwardly, "Ahem, that's a misunderstanding."

After Grand Old Master Yorks vented out his anger, he slowly accepted that Jay was now an apprentice to Master Zack. It was not the worst thing that could happen. Grand Old Master Yorks knew that Jay had no

intention to learn martial arts. He was afraid that Jay would be uncomfortable, so he said to Jay, "Grandson, you can learn martial arts from him. Just think of it as exercise."

Master Zack was anxious and frustrated. He said," What are you saying? Martial arts is not just exercise. If you want to exercise, it would be better for him to learn from you. I'm so angry that you're looking down on martial arts..."

Grand Old Master Yorks smiled and said, "No matter how highly you think of martial arts, young people nowadays don't like to fight one another."

"Hmph," Zack said angrily, "I don't want to talk to you anymore."

Master Zack stomped off.

Grand Old Master Yorks asked Jay a little quizzically," Jay, what are you asking him to do? Look at how arrogant he's acting."

Jay just smiled and said, "Heaven's secrets can't be revealed."

Grand Old Master Yorks was dumbfounded when he heard that.

Jay then said with a serious expression, "Grandpa, keep a close eye on the assassin. I'm almost certain that he'll leave Mount Pearl soon."

Grand Old Master Yorks replied, "Yes, he should've reported to the military intelligence division that

Doomsday is on its way."

Jay said, "Soon enough, chaos will descend upon Mount Pearl, so we must fight effectively and try to minimize casualties."

Grand Old Master Yorks looked at Jay with great relief. "Jay, you're very responsible. I'm very grateful to the Ares family for bringing you up. When I think of it like this, I don't seem to be as bothered with his betrayal."

Jay smiled and said, "I hope that both of you can be friends again someday."

Grand Old Master Yorks sighed. "I do want to see him again."

Baby Robbie took the Tiger and Wolf Armies and left Mount Pearl with impetus.

This caused the villagers of Mount Pearl to go into chaos. "Patron Saint Zechariah is dead and the Tiger and Wolf Armies are gone. Who will protect Mount Pearl now?"

Soon, even the assassin who was hiding in Mount Pearl was quietly leaving. However, he had triggered the security system of Mount Pearl.

Grand Old Master Yorks was immediately notified of the assassin's departure. He kept quiet and looked at the sky. He then said, "Jay, Mount Pearl is secure. However, the military intelligence division will be a big challenge for us. You must be very worried about Jens and Baby Robbie."

'Worried, how can I not be worried?'

In Green Plum Town, Angeline had an empty look on her face, but her hands kept busy with knitting. Jay noticed Angeline was trying to mask her anxiousness with knitting.

All of a sudden, Jay held Angeline's hand tightly. He then hugged her, gently patted her on the back, and said, "Angeline, don't worry."

"I'm not worried," Angeline answered.

She forced herself to calm down. She did not want to add to Jay's burden.

Baby Robbie and the Corvettes left in dozens of large ships and started their journey to the south. Seven days later, their ships finally reached their destination.

After their ships were berthed at the pier, only a small number of people were allowed to take turns to go ashore to buy things in the nearby town every day.

Baby Robbie led a few special forces soldiers to the military intelligence division to get some intel.

Of course, they remembered to mark the path. This was so that if they were ever in danger, their companions could ensure that reinforcements would be there as soon as possible.

Upon infiltrating the military intelligence division, they triggered the defense system. Suddenly, someone sneakily attacked them.

A mysterious figure in black suddenly moved toward Baby Robbie. He was as fast as lightning.

Baby Robbie did not even have any time to dodge, so he just stood still and stared at the figure in black who came out of nowhere.

He was certain that the figure in black was definitely not a sister from the military intelligence division. The attacker's mastery of martial arts was at a significantly higher level than those sisters.

Just as Baby Robbie sighed about how he had to die at such a young age, several blades suddenly slashed their way through and forced the figure in black to quickly back off.

Baby Robbie was able to get away and narrowly avoided getting hurt.

The blade that had been headed for Baby Robbie fell to the ground. The figure in black was flung to the stone formation outside.

Baby Robbie stared at the old man who just saved his life. He thought that the old man had a childlike appearance, and he said with gratitude, "Thank you for saving my life."

When several of the Corvettes saw the old man, they were amazed. "Master Zack? Why are you here?"

A Corvette brother said to Baby Robbie, "Admiral, it's no wonder that you don't recognize Master Zack. He's Doomsday's Zechariah, our patron saint's, master. He usually lives on the top of the mountain and is hidden away from the world. We have better chances at winning this with Master Zack on our team."

Baby Robbie was beyond grateful and said, "Thank you for helping us."

Master Zack said in a gentle and fatherly tone, "Don't thank me, thank your father. It was he who knelt and begged me to fight alongside you."

Tears streamed down from Baby Robbie's eyes as he said, "My daddy has never asked anyone for a favor, let alone begged someone for help. I feel guilty that I had him worried."

Master Zack touched Baby Robbie's head and said, "He was ashamed for choosing to send you here. He loves you, child."

Baby Robbie nodded. "I don't blame him. Daddy doesn't need to be ashamed."

Master Zack looked at the ruins of the castle in front of him and said, "This is not a good place to have a private conversation. I'll head in with your admiral. The rest of you, stay here. If we move in large groups, we might alert the enemy."

"Yes, sir."

Baby Robbie sneaked into the military intelligence division with Master Zack.

Baby Robbie whispered, "The defense system here is the toughest to crack, but I know how to turn off this defense system. Let's take this path so we can carry out a surprise attack."

Master Zack frowned. "How do you know all these?"

Baby Robbie squeezed a bitter smile at him and said," You must not know that I'm Baby Robbie, a special agent from the military intelligence division. My brother, Jenson Ares, is the one who's in the military intelligence division at this moment."
