Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1289

Zayne suddenly held his forehead and said, "My head is spinning."

He then collapsed in front of Jay with a thud.

Jay teased, saying, "What a good tea indeed, old man. I'm surprised by how fast it can put someone to sleep."

The old man studied Jay carefully. This young man knew that there was something wrong with the tea yet still continued to talk to him as if nothing was happening.

This was his first time meeting someone who could mock him so calmly in the Yorks' territory.

The old man admired his courage and boldness.

"Your personality suits my taste very much, young man. I admire you. What's your name?"

Jay let out a slight smile. "Ben."

Puzzled, the old man asked, "Don't you have a last name?"

Jay nodded nonchalantly, "I do."

He continued, "My last name is Yorks."

The old man looked at Jay with displeasure. "If you want to trick me, you need to at least do it with the

right attitude."

Jay poured out all the cold tea in the teapot, then filled it up himself.

He then made a 'please' gesture to the old man. "The tea I've made is more refreshing than yours. Would you like to try a cup?"

The old man grabbed a handful of tea leaves, pinched them into the teapot, and said, "There, it's perfect now."

Jay raised the teacup. "Fate has brought us together, old man. Let's toast for this wonderful fate of ours."

The old man was slightly stunned. There was a flash of confusion in his eyes. According to his observation, this guy was a thoughtful and vigilant man, so he should be aware that there was something wrong with the tea, yet he still invited him to have tea together...

This young man looked to be about the same age as Cole. He was still too young and probably had no idea that he needed to take the antidote in advance, right?

"Sure, cheers!" The old man raised his teacup and clinked it with Jay's.

Both of them then drained their teacups in a gulp.

After drinking the tea, Jay started swaying almost immediately. He then said in a dizzy manner, "Good tea." He then staggered and collapsed on top of Zayne's soft and limp body.

The old man staggered and fell to the ground as well.

After a very long time, the old man blinked mischievously. Convinced that Jay had passed out, he got up from the ground and dusted his butt while gloating. "Hmph, you're way too young to beat me." Having said that, he returned to his seat next to the teapot, picked up a cup of tea, and drained it in a gulp.

Not long after he drank the tea, he could feel his stomach churning.

The old man clutched his stomach as his complexion paled. "Dang it, I fell into this kid's trap."

He then rushed to the latrine while clutching his stomach.

Jay sat up cross-legged, staring mischievously at the old man's back. A dark and profound gaze emanated from his eyes.

"I hope you won't blame me for being disrespectful to you, Grandpa."

Jay pulled Zayne up and left in a hurry.

The library.

The stronghold's library was actually a brick cellar with a very earthy appearance.

The entrance was also a furnace room, but once Jay stepped inside, he realized that it was a completely different world in there.

There were several circular compartments in it. The circular walls rose high into the clouds, whereas the circular bookshelves rested against the walls. Each compartment was filled with densely packed books.
