Just as Zayne was about to untie them, Cole shouted a t him to stop.

"Don't do it! Someone will be coming to our rescue soon."

Zayne suspiciously asked, "Who?"

Sure enough, it did not take very long for Sir Ares to come back.

He was holding onto a water bottle in his hand as he walked over at a carefree pace, looking happy and content. It did not seem like he was worried about his comrades' well-being at all.

When Zayne saw Jay, he immediately snarled. "Why are you walking at such a slow pace, Sir Ares? Why can't you walk a little faster? We're dying here and you're supposed to be racing against death!" Jay walked over and threw the bottle over to Cole.

Cole weakly glared at him, scoffing. "Is this how you care for your patients?! Help me open it."

Jay said, "You should be doing things on your own."

Cole snarled. "Have you given all of your compassion and tenderness to Angelina?"

Cole sat up and poured some water for everyone. After

drinking, Cole collapsed to the ground again.

Once Jay discovered that they were not getting any better, Jay looked at the Poison Granny furiously. "Tell me. Why on earth are they not getting any better?"

Poison Granny said, "The water can only extend their lives. I didn't say it'll increase their physical strength. Hence, you're not leaving Silent Town, Sir Ares. Unless you let me go. I can save them."

By nature, Jay was perhaps the least trusting of them all. He immediately rejected Poison Granny's proposal without even thinking about it. "If anyone is dying, you'll be the first to do so. I'd advise you to tell me how to cure them if you wish to live longer."

Poison Granny smiled and said, "Sir Ares, you're genuinely unlike other men."

Jay proceeded to ignore her.

Since Zayne was terrified of death, he yelled out anxiously, "Sir Ares, just trust her this one time. Untie her right now. She's the one who can give us a chance to live."

Jay said, "Haven't you ever heard the story about the farmer and the viper?"

Zayne said, "But do you have any other ways to save u s? Do you want us to simply wait for our deaths?"

Jay looked at the sky above his head and said, "I believe that there's always another way out."

Imperial Capital.

Ever since Sir Ares and the others entered Silent Town, Angeline had lost all contact with them. She worried about Jay and the others all day long.

Since the kids were taking their college entrance examinations in a few days, Angelina dared not distract them at this time. She had to endure all of her heavy thoughts and look forward to the day of the examination.

When they walked out of their classroom after taking the examination, Angelina was greeting them outside the hall.

When the kids saw Angelina, they immediately cheered happily. "Why are you here, Mommy?"

Angelina asked them lovingly, "Tell me, how did you do in the exam?"

There would always be mixed emotions when it came to the college entrance examinations, and it seemed like it was the same case for the Ares kids. Some of them looked happy, yet some were dejected. "Mommy, I think I didn't do very well," said Roxie.

Angeline rubbed on Roxie's head and comforted her, saying, "It's alright, Roxie. Some may want you to be smart and capable, and some may wish for you to be more sensible. But Mommy only wishes for all o you to be healthy and happy."

"Grades don't matter. Surprises and positive things can be found everywhere in life anyway."

Only then did Roxie and the other sisters who did badly ease their crinkled eyebrows.

Baby Robbie came over to hold Angel, and she secretly asked her brother, "How did you do in your exam, Big Brother Robbie?"

Baby Robbie could not care less about grades and said, "It is what it is."

Angel stuck her tongue out at him and said, "You're just stupid."

"Who told you that I'm stupid?" Baby Robbie pretended to be angry about it.
