Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2134

The old lady said, "If you keep heading north from here, you'll enter a vast, primitive forest. There's a spot there called Sacred Land. Many people have gone looking for it, but none has found it so far." Jay thanked the old lady and walked out of the room Andy was in. He was getting ready to gather Cole and the others so they could set off immediately.

However, when Jay walked out of the room, he saw all of them huddling up in a disorderly manner all over the ground. Each of them was looking pale as they helplessly looked up at Jay. "We've been poisoned, Cousin."

Cole pointed at the young lady tremblingly and said," That little lady is harboring evil intentions. There was something wrong with the food she gave us."

Jay shot a malicious gaze at the young girl, asking," Why did you do this?"

The old lady parted the curtain at the doorway and walked out with a sullen face. "Because I asked her to do this."

Jay asked furiously, "But why are you harming us?!"

The old lady walked up to Jay and looked at him closely with a pair of cold eyes, saying, "A handsome

man, indeed. You must be the Imperial Capital's crown prince, yes?"

Jay narrowed his eagle-like eyes and asked, "Are you one of Nephele's people?"

The old lady chuckled and replied, "You're very smart."

Jay was extremely puzzled. They had just arrived at Silent Town and never met the two before. However, the grandmother and granddaughter pair acted so quickly that they had failed to identify the two's real identities.

It did not make sense!

"How did you know that I'm Jay Ares?"

The old lady fixed her gaze on Jay, and her pair of murky, old eyes were shining with cunning wisdom. "I thought you were brilliant, Sir Ares? Take a guess."

Jay asked again, "But why didn't you attack me?"

The old lady glared at her granddaughter angrily and asked, "Yes. Why is that?"

The young lady smiled bashfully and said, "I like him, Gran-gran. Will you give him to me instead?"

Jay was dumbfounded.

Even though Zayne was on the brink of death, he could not miss out on the chance to quarrel with Sir Ares. Green with envy, Zayne said to Jay, "I didn't know having good looks can extend one's mortality." Jay glared at him furiously and scoffed. "Shut your

damn mouth."

At this moment, his mind was in disarray. It felt like the danger they were facing this time around was premeditated.

The old lady vehemently refused her granddaughter's request. "No! You're unable to subdue him."

The young lady stubbornly lifted her head and made a solemn vow, "Gran-gran, please have faith in me. I'll make him obey me!"

The old lady looked at Jay in scrutiny again and marveled at his good looks. Finally, she heaved a sigh and said, "I'll permit you to have a child with him. But he must die right after."

The young lady clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Thank you, Gran-gran!"

How could Jay allow anyone to take advantage of him? Almost immediately, he flicked two stones at them and the grandmother and granddaughter duo abruptly fell to the ground.

When the old lady extended her arms out to spread some poison, Jay kicked up the rope on the ground. With agile and quick movements, the two were immediately bound together with the rope.

The old granny laughed nefariously and said, "If you tie me up, who's going to give your companions the antidote?"

Jay sat comfortably on the stool next to him. Then, he looked at Cole and the others as they suffered in pain, saying, "It's better for me if they're poisoned anyway. No one's going to bicker with me all day long. I'm sure my ears will thank you for it."

The old lady never expected her plan to keep hostages to fail. Her expression looked somewhat defeated.

However, Zayne started scolding Jay in a light, hissing voice, "You're too heartless, Ares! I never expected that you're such a person. How can you escape on your own when disaster strikes? Why did I fail to see this before?"
