Chapter 2211

"You don't deserve to know what relationship I have with her," said Jay coldly.

A wicked sneer flashed across the old man's eyes." Interesting. So there are still people in this world who don't take me seriously."

Jay sneered and said, "Who do you think you are? At best, you're a person trapped in Sacred Land. You're only able to see the little patch of sky above you.

Hence, you believe yourself to be infallible."

Jay hated the man in front of him because he was wise and farsighted enough to see the cruelty and inhumanity on the man's evil face. He could guess that the tragedies that had befallen Boye and Baby Zetty were all because of him.

He wanted to slaughter the man in front of him, but he could not. His body was filled with poison and he was extremely weak.

The old man was not resentful over it. Bather, he started smiling sinisterly and said, "You have quite the courageous spirit, but I wonder how long will that last?"

Jay looked at him provocatively, his eyes defying both death and threats.

The old man smiled wickedly and asked, "I heard you love your children very much?"

Surging anger burst out of Jay's sharp eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you dare lay a finger on them, I'll drag you down with me even if I die today."

"No, no, no. You can't kill me." The old man smiled triumphantly.

"This is my territory, and they're all my believers.

Even the air inside this place listens to me. Smell it, Jay Ares. Isn't there a lot of poison in the air? If you kill me, won't everyone here die with me? Are you willing to commit such a massacre?"

Jay had long been aware of the unique smell in the air. Besides, his body was getting weaker by the day. He had guessed that the air in this place was extremely poisonous.

"It's truly despicable and shameless of you to use such a method to control people's wills," cursed Jay.

The old man smiled proudly instead of being ashamed. "Even if you don't tell me, I already know that you're Lynne Boye's descendant. Which makes you a descendant of mine. I don't want you to die like this. I merely asked you to come today so that you'll be my hostage..."

Jay's pupils immediately shrunk. The old man was egotistical and invincible. Why did he need a hostage?

Jay felt extremely apprehensive and could faintly feel

that something bad was about to happen.

Sure enough, the next moment, the old man said bluntly, "Your darling little girl has made a deal with me. She was to make me Rejuvenation Pills in exchange for the safety of all you people."

Jay said, "Since it's an agreement, what do you need a hostage for?"

The old man said, "She's so young, so I wonder if she's able to make Rejuvenation Pills. If she can't do it, all of you have to die. But if she can..."

The old man's eyes became deep all of a sudden. It was as though he had lost his glory and became dark and dispirited.

"She's so young. If she's able to achieve results that I couldn't achieve for more than a hundred years, then her medical achievements far exceed mine. What if she decides to trick me? I have to be on guard, right?"

Jay sneered and scoffed, "Coward."

The old man rolled his eyes at Jay. Looking at Jay's handsome face that barely carried any traces of time, he was envious.

"Lock him alone in the backyard. If Rozette Ares' experiment fails, I'll do experiments on him instead."

"Yes, sir."

When the goatee man was approaching him, Jay shot a sharp glare at him, making the former feel slightly taken aback.

Nephele pushed him aside and said, "You good-for-nothing! Even if he's a leopard, he's still a trapped leopard. Why are you still so scared of him?"

Nephele pushed Jay harshly, and his whole body fell limply to the ground.

Chapter 2212

Chapter 2212

Nephele commanded coldly, "Men, take him to the backyard."

Nephele had bitten her tongue off once and the 'living fossil' stitched it back with a dog's tongue using his superb technique. Nephele could speak now, but her speech was somewhat unclear, which severely impacted those who were listening to her.

Several of her subordinates immediately carried Jay up and dragged him out.

The backyard looked extremely confined as impenetrable high walls surrounded the area. There was only a small door to communicate with the outside world. After Jay was thrown into the backyard, those men immediately left.

With the small door closed, the backyard became extremely dark.

Jay curled up on the ground, looking at this well-structured backyard. The high walls and the dome were made of transparent materials that even houseflies would find this place impossible to escape. Perhaps it was due to the poison in his body, but he gradually grew weaker. For the first time in his life, Jay felt helpless and desperate.

At that moment, he was suddenly a little frightened.

He was worried about Angelina and wondered how sad she would be after losing him.

He was also concerned about poor Baby Zetty. He had been looking forward to leaving this place to find a famous doctor for Baby Zetty to cure her progeria.

At that moment, he forgot that Baby Zetty was a famous doctor herself.

He closed his eyes in despair and muttered to himself in a low voice, "What should I do? What can I do? How can I get out of this predicament?"

When Sir Ares was falling into despair, the situation was, in fact, slowly changing.

After his short chat with Baby Zetty, the castle's young security guard's mental state was collapsing after learning that the poison sect had been using living people as guiding drugs.

During this period of time, he had been extremely agitated and jittery.

When his best friend discovered that he was emotionally unstable, he reprimanded him, "What's gotten into you these days, Jack Davis? Why do you look so dazed?"

The young security guard pulled his best friend aside, clenched his fist, and told him in an extremely stirred up and angry manner, "I'm telling you, my father's death wasn't an accident. He was probably killed by

someone... inside."

His best friend hurriedly covered his mouth, pulled him to the side in a panic, and said, "Don't speak such nonsense."

Jake flung his friend's hand away and said furiously, "I'm not talking nonsense. Didn't an old woman come here a few days ago? She's the descendant of Lynne Boye. She told me that those evil doctors are using living humans as guiding drugs."

His friend looked around nervously and then whispered to him, "You can't just take her word for it. After all, she's Boye's descendant. Their sect has always been incompatible with the poison sect. She just said that to deliberately incite more conflicts in our sect."

The young security guard said in a stirred up manner," But I don't think she's a bad person. I've been secretly observing her these days. Her medical skills are miraculous... She even cured her progeria." His friend was in disbelief. "That's impossible."

The young security guard took his hand and said, "Come with me."

Then, the two sneaked toward the laboratory. The young security knocked on the door. "Granny, it's me, Jake."

Inside the laboratory, Baby Zetty heard Jake's voice and hurriedly opened the door.

It was because of Jake's effort in secretly giving her food and helping her replenish some rare medicinal herbs that she successfully developed the pills for rejuvenation.

Therefore, Baby Zetty did not loathe nor oppose Jake like the other healers in Sacred Land.

When she opened the door, the young security guard and his friend were dumbfounded when they saw Baby Zetty's stunning appearance.

"So beautiful!"

Baby Zetty had now regained her youthful appearance. Her current movements were graceful, quick-witted, and divine. Everything about her was simply breathtakingly gorgeous.

Chapter 2213

Chapter 2213

However, they clearly remembered that when Baby Zetty came here, she had been an old grandmother with gray hair and a hunched back.

Just like that, both of them started believing in Baby Zetty's medical skills.

Jake painfully sought Baby Zetty for confirmation as he said, "Ms. Rozette, there was a plague a few years ago in Sacred Land. Everyone who got the plague had tons of bloody holes in their bodies, and they said that their wounds were rat bites. None of the people who got the plague survived."

When Jake said this, his eyes were filled with indignation. "But I secretly checked on the people who got the plague back then and found that their bodies all have a similar bloodied hole on the back of their heads. So I suspect that the event was not a natural disaster but something caused by humans."

When Baby Zetty heard this, her eyes were overwhelmed with sympathy.

It turned out the people of Sacred Land had mistaken the Poison Old Man's live specimen experiment as a plague.

She lamented, "Poison Old Man has actually been

studying the methods of rejuvenation. When he was young, he could still fight his aging by making drugs, but as his aging accelerated and his methods started to have minimal effect on him, he started to look for a different approach. He chose to take an inhumane path, which was to extract anti-aging organs from living humans..."

Jake clenched his fists, and his anger made his body tremble uncontrollably.

"I knew it. I knew that all of the disasters that befell Sacred Land in recent years weren't caused by the Lord. Everything was caused by a human. It was... him

H

Jake was so angry that his eyes were scarlet.

When the other security guard heard the shocking news, he staggered as well and almost fell to the ground.

He hoped that Baby Zetty was lying. However, seeing Baby Zetty's innocent expression, he simply was not able to question her words.

"Ms. Rozette, he's practically a god in Sacred Land, and up until this point, we've unconditionally believed in him. The facts you exposed today are likely to shake up the entire foundation of Sacred Land. So, if you don't have conclusive evidence, please refrain from trying to deceive us. Your lies will only bring about a catastrophic disaster in Sacred Land."

Baby Zetty smiled and said, "I'm being locked in this laboratory by the Poison Doctor and they asked me to develop pills for rejuvenation. Do you still think I'm lying to you?"

Jake gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sure it's him. He's the person who killed our relatives."

The other security guard covered Jake's mouth, afraid that the others would hear him.

"Jake, if whatever Ms. Rozette said is true, then he's nothing but a cruel, demonic leader. And if you confront him so recklessly to seek vengeance, it's tantamount to attempting the impossible. You'll only be digging your own grave."

Hence, Jake calmed himself down.

"Yeah. He has an impressive reputation in Sacred Land, and his words are akin to an imperial verdict. I'm afraid we're powerless even if we rebel against him."

Baby Zetty might be a medical expert, but she was not good at plotting schemes. At this moment, she had not grasped the principle that the enemy of her enemy was a friend. She merely pitied the people of Sacred Land and sighed sadly. "I know that all of you are in pain, but the disaster has already happened. Let's mourn for the ones who died."

Jake looked over at Baby Zetty and an idea flashed his mind. He said, "Ms. Rozette, your family is being detained by the Poison Doctor at the moment. I'm willing to help you rescue them."

Baby Zetty was pleasantly surprised. "Really?" "However, Ms. Rozette, you should know that if I save them, it's very likely that I'll have to pay the price with my own life. So I'm hoping that before I save them, you'll be willing to promise me something, Ms. Rozette."

"Tell me what you want."

"Protect the innocent people of Sacred Land."

Baby Zetty was stumped for words.

Chapter 2214

Chapter 2214

Baby Zetty hesitated slightly.

She had always considered herself a weak little girl. Being able to help the dying and heal the injured was already the most ambitious thing she could achieve.

Asking her to save the people of Sacred Land was something that Baby Zetty had the spirit to do but was lacking in power and strength.

She wanted to reject Jake, but seeing his solemn expression and the determined light in his eyes that was shining so brightly akin to Venus itself, Baby Zetty could not help but nod cautiously. "I promise." Jake grinned at her and said, "Ms. Rozette, the Poison Doctor used poison to detain your whole family.

They're now weak and unable to fight back. So for me to rescue them, I'm afraid you have to find a way to detoxify them first."

Baby Zetty anxiously walked around in circles. "But I don't know what type of poison is in their bodies."

Jake said, "Don't worry, I'll help you get some of their blood."

Baby Zetty gave it a thought and was reluctant for her daddy, brother, and sisters to suffer any sort of pain. Hence, she exhorted Jake, "Take Zayne Severe's blood." "Got it," said Jake.

After reaching an agreement with Baby Zetty, Jake pulled his friend's hand and sneaked back out.

Then, Baby Zetty quickly locked the door of the laboratory.

During dinnertime, Jake deliberately came to Jenson and the others. To get the blood sample, Jake deliberately stirred up a conflict.

He kicked Jenson's plate over, and Jenson proceeded to look at him angrily. His dark pupils shot a sharp ray of light, making Jake's heart suddenly palpitate.

"Which one of you is Zayne Severe?" Jake asked.

"Me," Zayne willingly confessed.

Jake kicked him and growled, "Were you the one who hurt my cousin?"

Jake was deliberately picking fault.

Zayne felt extremely aggrieved and said, "I didn't hurt H

However, Jake did not give him a chance to intervene and flung Zayne off to a wooden pillar next to them. Upon hitting the pillar, Zayne's vision got blurry as it dimmed. He started getting a nosebleed. Jake wiped Zayne's blood off with his finger and then sneered while saying, "You'd better behave now. If you lay another finger on anyone else from Sacred Land, I'll beat you to death."

The security, who was keeping an eye on Jenson and the others, quickly pulled Jake away. He kindly persuaded him, "Jake, we've gotten clear instructions from the higher-ups not to let anything happen to them. If you beat him to death, we won't be able to do our jobs."

Only then did Jake leave the matter at that and say," You're off the hook for now." Then, he walked away while swearing.

Jenson's chilly gaze fell on Jake's finger that was hidden in his sleeves. His hand was clearly clenched into a fist, but the finger smeared with blood remained outstretched.

Jenson had already guessed the purpose of Jake's visit here to take a blood sample.

It was just that Jenson had no idea what the purpose of the blood sample was.

It was a moonless night with scarce stars. Everything in the surroundings was silent.

The living fossil found it hard to sleep due to his aging body. He sat up irritably. His pale, snow-like hair hung sparsely from the top of his head.

His ash-colored eyes looked terrifying, still covered with a layer of sharp light.

"What's the matter?" A beautiful young woman emerged from the bed.

She looked at the old man thoughtfully and coaxed

him, "Did you have another dream?"

The living fossil looked at the beautiful young woman wryly, but he was thinking of the devastatingly gorgeous girl inside the laboratory who could cause ripples in his heart.

"Say, how did Rozette Ares manage to regain her young and beautiful face? It's truly enviable."

When the old man praised another girl, the woman was not at all jealous. Instead, she considerately suggested to him, "Forefather, do you long for her? If you do, why don't you call her over to bed to please you?"

Chapter 2215

Chapter 2215

The old man shook his head. "She's so beautiful, so beautiful that no one can bear to lay a hand on her. If I can be young again, I'll certainly make her fall into my grasp." The woman was smiling. "Your feelings for her are sincere, and this is considered her blessing. If she hadn't gotten your favor, she wouldn't be able to stay here unscathed." The old man nodded and said, "But the agreed time will come sooner or later. She'll leave this place soon."

The woman replied, "Then you have to find a way to keep her here."

"Do you have a way?" the old man asked her.

"We can keep Sir Ares here and make him our hostage. I heard that Rozette is a filial daughter, so she must be reluctant to abandon her father here and leave on her own."

"One can't imprison Sir Ares that long." The old man sighed regretfully and said, "There are too many capable people around him who are ready to come and rescue him. As long as he's here, I'm unable to sleep well." "Then why don't we just...." The woman made a

snapping motion.

The old man faintly looked at her, his eyes filled with a n evil and fierce glint. "Do it once and for all? That's a good suggestion. I'll leave this matter to you."

In the laboratory.

After Baby Zetty obtained Zayne's blood sample, she started researching the antidote for the poison without stopping.

However, she did not know that the living fossil had been monitoring the laboratory a long time ago. Every single one of her moves was being watched by the living fossil's eyes.

After Rozette developed the antidote pills a few days later, she personally handed them to Jake.

After Jake got the antidote pills, however, he was stopped by Nephele on the way over to see Jenson.

"Jake, hand over the antidote," Nephele commanded coldly.

Jake clutched onto his belt and began denying it." What antidote? I don't have any antidote with me. I can't understand what you're trying to tell me, Aunt Nephele."

Nephele immediately dashed forward and pulled his belt off, making all the pills scatter onto the ground.

Seeing the antidote, Nephele landed a kick on Jake's chest and snarled furiously. "You dare to try and fool me?"

Jake curled up on the ground, holding onto his body i n pain.

Nephele picked up the pills and left him there.

Jake stood up tremblingly and staggered all the way back to his dormitory.

As soon as he got back, he powerlessly fell to the floor and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Big Brother!" Jake's little brother, Louie Davis, rushed toward him and burst into tears.

Jake took out a bag of antidote pills from his chest pocket and handed it to his little brother, saying to him with his dying breath, "Lou, I don't think I can make it. You have to send this antidote to the prison immediately. Give them to those Imperial Capital folks. Tell them Dr. Rozette sent this to them."

Jake fainted after saying this.

Louie cried as he shouted, "Big Brother!"

Then, he picked up the bag of pills and ran toward the prison.

Due to his young age, it was natural for him to play around. Hence, the guard watching over the prison was not suspicious of him and allowed him to head straight inside.

When Louie arrived at the prison cells, he could see the Imperial Capital folks through the bars.

He threw the bag of pills through the gap in the bars and cried while saying, "My brother is dead. Before he died, he asked me to hand this to you. He said that this was given to you by Ms. Rozette." Jenson had a flash of realization and picked up the bag of pills. He looked at the quantity and instantly understood that it was one pill per person.

He quickly took one and distributed the pills to the others.

When the prison guard realized that something was amiss, he hurried inside.

"Louie, what are you doing here? Tell me this instant."

Louie put on a show, saying, "My brother asked me to bring some pills over, but I lost them. Boo-hoo..."

Chapter 2216

Chapter 2216

The prison supervisor appeared gloomy as he looked a t Jenson and the others with a piercing gaze. He was trying to find a flaw in the child's words. However, Jenson and the others were all people with particularly strong psychological qualities. There was not the slightest flaw on their faces.

However, when the prison supervisor shot a sharp gaze at Zayne, there was a trace of panic in his eyes. The prison supervisor quickly realized something was wrong, so he immediately entered the prison cell and began searching his body.

Ultimately, the prison supervisor found a pill on Zayne. He exasperatedly kicked him. Then, he turned his head in a fury and angrily rebuked Louie.

"You stinking little brat, how dare you try to fool me?"

An ominous glint shot out of Louie's eyes as he viciously retorted, "You people killed my brother! I hate all of you!"

"You're seeking a death sentence." The prison supervisor quickly strode toward Louie and picked him up before flinging him to the ground.

Louie immediately wailed out in agony.

Jenson wanted to help the child, but he swayed after

standing up. He finally sat back down due to a lack of strength.

The prison supervisor punished Louie for his misdemeanor by beating the kid up without any restraint. At this time, several other prison guards outside came in after hearing the clamor.

The prison supervisor told them, "This stinking little brat secretly gave them the antidote. How infuriating!"

Louie was only around 11 to 12 years old. He lost his parents early in life and grew up with his brother. He had long heard about the deaths of his father and mother being related to the poison sect.

His brother hated the poison sect, which made Louie despise the poison sect as well despite his young age. In his heart, the poison sect had killed all of his family members.

Upon hearing this, several of the guards immediately walked toward Louie aggressively. Although Louie was young, he realized that there was no way for him to escape this. Hence, he bravely said the things he had been holding back in his heart.

"You people killed my mom and dad, and now you've killed my brother too! I'll fight with all of you!"

He lifted his head bravely to meet his demise, yet unexpectedly, none of their fists landed on him.

Instead, one of the guards started shrieking horribly.

That was when everyone noticed there was an

internal brawl happening among the few guards. A guard with green paint smeared across his face stabbed a dagger into his accomplice's chest.

"Who are you?!"

Only then did the prison guards realize something was amiss with this guard. He was only posing to be a guard!

"Are you not Gene Davis?"

The man tore off the mask on his face and smiled gently.

"Finn?" Jenson cried out.

Finn smiled devilishly, and after a few grappling hand movements, he knocked down all of the guards beside him. When the prison supervisor saw how ferocious Finn's combat skills were, he fled from fright. After Finn finished taking down his last 'colleague', he intercepted the prison supervisor with a somersault.

Using his palm, he slammed it on the supervisor's body, making the man groan before falling to the ground. Then, Finn picked Louie up and gently said, "Don't be scared, kiddo."

Louie embraced Finn before crying out loud.

"Big Brother, they killed my mom and dad. This time, they injured my brother. Please save my brother."

Finn said, "My name is Finn. I'll be your big brother as well from now on. Don't be scared, I'll save your brother." Jenson said, "Finn, why are you giving the kid special treatment?"

Finn said, "There's something you aren't aware of, Jens. This kid's brother has been helping our Baby

Zetty."

Jenson was stunned. He was deeply moved and said, "So there are good people in Sacred Land, after all."

After Finn rescued Jenson and the others, their strength slowly recovered after taking the antidote. They were able to walk after a short while.

Chapter 2217

Chapter 2217

Finn said to Jenson, "Jens, all of you should find a place to hide." After that, Finn turned around and was about to leave.

Jenson proceeded to ask him, "Where are you going?"

Finn glanced back at him. His body stood tall and upright as he replied, "I have to help that silly girl, Baby Zetty, fulfill her promise to others."

Jenson was stunned, but it was quickly followed by a faint smile.

"Go ahead."

Finn carried Louie in his arms as he disappeared into the night.

Jenson looked in Finn's direction, feeling happy. He thought that Baby Zetty's hardships were finally over. Her good times were finally coming.

Finn knew her well, understood her well, and loved her even more now.

What more could one ask for?

"Jens, we have to quickly get out of here." Zayne did not want to stay in this poison den for even a second longer.

Jenson replied, "I still have to save my father. I can't

leave this castle for the time being."

Cole also began to express his stance, saying, "We came here as a group, so we should head back as a group as well. I'll go and save Sir Ares with you."

Zayne grudgingly said, "Then all of you have to protect me."

Cole ridiculed him, "Are you some sort of national treasure?"

Zayne said to him shamelessly, "I have a frail body, and I don't have any combat skills. I'm in the disadvantaged category of people."

Cole rolled his eyes at him.

Finn carried Louie until they arrived at his home. He leaped in from the window, and under the moonlight, they could see Jake lying on the ground. He was bleeding ceaselessly. "Brother," Louie cried out. However, his weeping was quickly stifled when Finn covered his mouth.

"Don't cry, kid."

Louie put his finger in his mouth and forced himself not to cry.

Finn checked Jake's breathing and said to Louie," There's still hope, Lil Lou. I'll take your brother to a healer now. You have to come with me, or someone from the poison sect will come after you." Louie nodded at him. "Okay."

Finn carried Jake on his back this time. As he had been in disguise in the poison sect for some time, Finn was relatively familiar with the poison sect's road system.

While groping about in the dark, he arrived at the laboratory. However, two guards were currently guarding the door. Finn plucked a few leaves, and after exerting his inner strength, he shot the leaves out like they were weapons.

He did not hit the guards right on their bodies but hit the cat next to them instead. The cat let out a loud whimper before running away.

The two guards felt that it was unusual and ran after the cat.

Finn's bright gaze fell on the surveillance camera at the entrance of the laboratory. While the two guards were running after the cat, he took a dart from his pocket and aimed it at the camera with a swish. At this time, the two guards came back to their station again.

Completely at a loss, one of them said, "That's strange. When did the Poison Doctor get a cat?"

Finn placed Jake down and stepped forward.

When the two guards saw him, they finally realized that the cat just now had been a trick to lure them away from their station.

They looked up, saw that the camera was destroyed, and knew that the situation was far from good.

However, since the two had been assigned to the laboratory by the Poison Doctor to monitor Baby Zetty's whereabouts, it meant that they were not people to be trifled with. Seeing Finn, the two of them did not panic and merely rolled up their sleeves for an all-out battle.

Finn's skills were definitely the strongest among all of Sir Ares' guards. He was nimble yet ferocious. At the same time, he could be as graceful as well. His combination of strength and gentleness made his enemies find it hard to predict his movements and defend themselves.

In addition, Finn was a talented person with a high IQ. The two poison sect guards could have worked together to gain the upper hand, but after a dozen moves, Finn discovered their fatal flaws.

Finn broke them apart and struck each one, making the two guards unable to hold him off.

Ultimately, Finn strangled the two with his hands, killing them.

Chapter 2218

Chapter 2218

Finn picked Jake up again and knocked on the door of the laboratory.

Knock, knock, knock....

Inside the laboratory, Baby Zetty was stunned after hearing the knocks on the door.

In her memory, every time Finn came to her room, he would always knock in such a gentle, rhythmic, and somewhat fragmented manner.

However, Baby Zetty remained somewhat clearheaded.

This was Sacred Land. There were enemies all over this place.

Baby Zetty was vigilant as she very slowly walked toward the door. Then, she asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

Finn said, "Zetty, it's Finn."

Baby Zetty was stunned and opened the door almost immediately.

As soon as there was a small gap in the door, Finn dashed in with Jake on his back. Louie was following closely from behind. Seeing that Jake was severely injured, Baby Zetty

quickly locked the door. Before she had the chance to think about Finn, she began examining Jake's wounds.

However, the moment Finn placed Jake down, his eyes fell on Baby Zetty and the sight of her young self stupefied him.

Baby Zetty's appearance had reverted to that of a young girl. However, her baby from a few years ago had all been shed off. Her face was so beautiful that one could not help but feel tender affection for her. The sight of her healing Jake's wounds with a serious face made Finn suddenly realize that the child in his heart whom he thought would never grow up had quietly become more feminine.

Baby Zetty had grown up well now that she was 18. In addition to that, after going through the vicissitudes o f life, her innocent face carried traces of more experiences. It made her look especially precocious. Finn was thoroughly attracted to such a beautiful, passionate, innocent, and mature Baby Zetty. And at that moment, his stirrings of love were rippling.

He was extremely clear about his feelings for Baby Zetty and knew that it could never again be as pure as it was in the past.

When Baby Zetty was treating Jake, the short hairs from the temple of her head accidentally scattered off, and Finn gently tucked them in for her behind her ears.

As his fingers touched the root of Baby Zetty's ear, she suddenly felt something akin to an electric shock, making her stare at Finn in a daze.

Finn smiled handsomely and affectionately called out to her, "Zetty."

Baby Zetty smiled back like a beautiful flower, looking demuring and alluring.

"Why are you here, Brother Finn?"

Finn said, "You're a prisoner here. How could I not be?"

Baby Zetty was astonished by this. "So you've been here for a long time?"

Finn replied, "I sleep on the top of your roof every day. Haven't you noticed?"

Baby Zetty looked at Finn, overwhelmed with flatter.

"Was it to protect me?" Baby Zetty asked incredulously.

Finn poked her exquisite nose and smiled. "What do you think?"

Baby Zetty was so moved that her eyes were turning red.

"Thank you, Brother Finn."

Finn said, "I'm happy that my Baby Zetty is all grown up. She's become a heroine with a sense of responsibility and a sense of mission. But I'm extremely sad over you taking risks all alone, unwilling to take me along with you."

Baby Zetty said, "I didn't want to drag you into this, Brother Finn."

Finn said, "Didn't you say that you love me? If you love me, don't you wish to share your life and death with m e?"

Baby Zetty's tears were streaming down as she said," Are you willing to do that?"

Finn said, "What do you think? Why on earth would I stick around in the poison sect? Did you think I was merely sleeping on the top of your head to enjoy the view of the moon?" Baby Zetty was overjoyed.

This was the love she longed for day and night. After experiencing so many difficulties and despair, it had finally blossomed.

She threw herself into Finn's arms and said coquettishly, "I love you, Finn."

Finn rubbed on her head. "I know. I've always known."

At this moment, Jake slowly opened his eyes and protested weakly, "Can you stop showing off your love in front of a patient here?"

Chapter 2219

Chapter 2219

Baby Zetty was so embarrassed... She was in a hurry and pricked a needle into Jake's head, saying, "You should sleep now."

Jake's last glance was filled with helplessness, but he was so drowsy that he immediately closed his eyes.

Finn was unable to restrain his smile and leisurely teased Baby Zetty, "It seems like no one will be able to disturb our dates in the future."

Baby Zetty's gaze fell on Louie, who was behind Finn. Louie quickly waved his hands, saying lovingly and innocently, "I didn't see or hear anything."

Afterward, Louie obediently turned around and covered his ears.

Baby Zetty proceeded to hug Finn's neck and kissed him passionately.

Finn's eyes were smiling while he praised her, "How sweet."

It was just that the joy of this reunion was cut short by the harsh reality. Baby Zetty suddenly pushed Finn away and said anxiously, "Brother Finn, you can't stick around for a long time. You have to take them and leave now."

Finn looked at her affectionately and said softly,"

Where do you want me to go? The person I love most is here. Where can I possibly go?"

Baby Zetty said, "But if you stay here, they'll find you real soon."

Finn smiled and said, "You can hide me."

Baby Zetty looked at every corner of the laboratory and muttered, "But there's no place for you to hide in here."

Finn walked toward the window and gently pushed it open.

Outside the window, it was a pitch-black forest. Baby Zetty vaguely remembered that the laboratory was built on a raised foundation. There was a dense forest below the window. If one were to jump down from here, they would either die or get severely injured.

Baby Zetty nervously grabbed Finn's hand for fear that he would jump off impulsively.

Finn turned his head. Upon seeing Baby Zetty's concerned expression, he scratched her nose and smiled lightly. "Worried about me?"

Baby Zetty said, "Brother Finn, I think you should...."

Before Baby Zetty finished her words, Finn suddenly leaped out of the window.

The tail of his shirt brushed across Baby Zetty's hand, and she immediately turned pale with fright. She was so horrified that she stretched out her hand to cover her mouth to stop herself from screaming. Unexpectedly, the next second, Finn jumped back in from the window.

Baby Zetty was so frightened that she went over to hug him tightly.

"Where did you go just now, Finn?"

Finn embraced Baby Zetty tightly in his arms. Her concern for him caused a warm feeling to surge in his heart.

He was an orphan, and other than his loyalty and devotion to Sir Ares, nothing else concerned him. Now, Baby Zetty was around to make his heart feel something. He felt that he would no longer be someone without a family in the future.

With Baby Zetty around, he had a home.

"There's a cantilever beam by the window, so I can stay here temporarily. Zetty, I want to spend the night here." When Finn was saying this, he put on a gentlemanly yet open-minded expression.

Little did he expect Baby Zetty to be immensely shocked by his shameless request.

Her face was burning hot, and her ears were scalding. Even her heart was thumping hard.

Finn said, "What is it? You don't want me to?"

"I do," said Baby Zetty without hesitation.

Finn's smile was like a blooming flower.

Only then did Baby Zetty realize that her sense of urgency just now was too shameless of her. Ashamed of herself, she immediately plunged into Finn's arms.

"Silly," Finn said while smiling. "The Poison Doctor will soon discover that there's a problem with the surveillance. His men will arrive soon, so I have to hide the Davis brothers. Goodbye for now, Baby Zetty." Afterward, Baby Finn landed an unexpected peck on Baby Zetty's lips. Then, he held onto Jake in one hand and held Louie with the other before quickly leaving the place.

A gust of wind quickly brushed past.

A second later, Baby Zetty heard a creak from the door.

She slowly moved her hand to touch her lips, and the throbbing in her heart dissolved little by little. This was simply pure bliss.

Chapter 2220

Chapter 2220

As soon as Finn left, the Poison Doctor, Nephele, led a few bodyguards into the laboratory.

When she saw Baby Zetty, Nephele's eyes were filled with surprise. "How did you do it? You've truly rejuvenated, Rozette Ares."

Baby Zetty looked at her haughtily.

Baby Zetty had a rather discerning heart at the moment. She had not researched any medicine regarding rejuvenation. It was just that she was supposed to be a young girl anyway, so as long as she changed the endocrine structure in her body, she could naturally restore her original appearance.

Baby Zetty had gotten another blessing in disguise. She used to be slightly chubbier before, yet after getting progeria, she gradually became thinner. Now that she had restored her youthful appearance, her figure had been preserved to perfection.

Nephele was extremely jealous of Baby Zetty. Not because of her beauty but her high attainments in medicine at such a young age.

Nephele wanted to steal the fruits of Baby Zetty's labor, so she tried to please Baby Zetty and tempted her by saying, "As long as you hand the formula over, I promise to let your family go."

Baby Zetty said, "I can hand it over, but I want to see my daddy first."

Nephele pondered for a moment and said, "Okay."

Then, she continued saying to Baby Zetty, "Come with me.

Baby Zetty followed Nephele to the castle's backyard.

The backyard was quiet and remote, and it was dim here.

Once Baby Zetty entered the backyard, she could smell the poisonous gas in the air. There was immediately a trace of faint anger on her beautiful face.

She was the apple of Sir Ares' eyes, and the Poison Doctor had used poison to confine Sir Ares in this place. This cruel and vicious method made Baby Zetty feel extremely angry.

"Head in," Nephele turned to say to Baby Zetty after opening the door.

Baby Zetty entered the small door, and under the glowing silver moonlight, she could see a black shadow curled up on the ground in the corner.

She dashed forward and picked up the dark figure while sorrowfully yelling, "Daddy!"

Nephele walked in with her hands behind her back. She turned on the lighting system in the backyard and the entire area was instantly bright as day. Nephele smiled sinisterly. "You truly are naive, Rozette. Your father's body is filled with poison now, so if you touch him, you'll be poisoned too."

Baby Zetty scorned angrily. "You people are too cruel."

Nephele smiled and said, "Hehe. We're just trying to test you, Ms. Rozette. We want to see if you're able to successfully save your daddy's life. If you can pass this test, our master will have another use for you."

"Who'd attach any importance to that Poison Old Man's attention anyway?" Baby Zetty was extremely angry.

Nephele was grinning as she said, "Now, you're on the same boat as Sir Ares, so do what you must at your own discretion."

After Nephele said this, she turned around and left.

Her assistant asked her, "Poison Doctor, we have yet to work out the formula for Rozette Ares' rejuvenation pills. Wouldn't it be a pity if she died?"

Nephele said coldly, "Hmph. Have you people been monitoring her for nothing these days? As long as we follow her formula to the tee, there shouldn't be a problem. Once our own formula is developed, Rozette will be of no use to us. She can go ahead and die with her daddy."

Backyard.

Baby Zetty had lifted Sir Ares and made him sit up.

Then, she took off his shirt, drew out her box of needles from her sleeves, and started doing acupuncture treatment on Sir Ares.

It did not take long before Sir Ares started vomiting black blood from his mouth.

Baby Zetty knew that he could not be treated overnight, so she put Sir Ares' shirt back on and allowed him to rest his head on her lap. She cried out with crimson eyes, "It's all my fault, Daddy. I made you worry about me. They caught you because of me."
