Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2170

Gale mischievously said, "Not anymore. Mr. Boye's laboratory exploded and no one survived. There's a high probability that she died in the explosion." As soon as Gale said this, the entire troop of Ghost members was horrified.

"How could that be?"

Jenson tremblingly stood up. The look on his handsome face was full of unbearably mourning.

Finn was simply unable to accept this grievous news and began to roar frantically, "That's impossible! She's not dead! She won't die!"

Baby Zetty glared at Gale fumingly, blaming him for making such a horrid joke.

Seeing Jenson and Finn mourning for her 'death', Baby Zetty hurriedly tried to pacify the situation by saying, "Don't go believing in my grandson's words. That's all just a rumor. Frankly speaking, we're not from Serpent Land. We merely passed through that area and heard of Boye's legend. The things my grandson said are just a part of it."

Gale laughed and said nothing in return.

Jenson staggered toward Baby Zetty and asked, "What kind of other rumors have you heard, Granny?"

Baby Zetty tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "I heard that Boye's medical skills were exquisite. Although her apprentice is young, she's able to carry on Boye's legacy. So when the enemy threatened Boye to surrender her secret skills, Boye bombed the laboratory. But her apprentice managed t o escape."

Finn recalled Baby Zetty's simple-mindedness and bitterly shook his head while saying, "She's inexperienced and easily fooled. How could she have escaped from those poisoners who were hunting her?" It seemed like Baby Zetty would always be a little kid in Finn's eyes.

Baby Zetty protested, "Hey now, young man. You have to look at the issue here from another perspective.

That little girl has followed Boye for so many years. How could she possibly remain an inexperienced child who's easily fooled? I heard that the girl isn't only beautiful and kind, but she's smart and capable too. The tips of her ears were slightly red after Baby Zetty boasted about herself.

Gale calmly looked at her and teased, "Oh yes, she's as beautiful as a fairy! I heard that many of the local youngsters had tried to pursue her. But ultimately, she ran off with a malnourished and sickly-looking teenager."

He smacked his lips and said, "It's such a pity, indeed.

What a mismatched pair."

Baby Zetty looked at Gale speechlessly. She was boasting about herself while Gale was mocking himself instead. It seemed as if she was rather unsure of herself.

Moreover, Gale was getting more and more handsome by the day. He was completely different from the malnourished and sickly-looking teenager in the past. How could he mock himself this way? When Finn heard that Baby Zetty was dating now, he instantly felt as if someone had dug a hole in his heart, making it hollow.

"Does that mean she's still alive?" Finn asked.

This was still considered a blessing amidst a misfortune.

Baby Zetty said, "Of course, she is. The child is kind-hearted, so how can she die so easily?"

Seeing the abnormal expression on Finn's face, Baby Zetty deliberately probed further. "Excuse me, Mister. Who's she to you? You seem to care about her very much."

Finn said, "I'll be frank with you, Granny. I'm her brother."

Baby Zetty shot a glance at Jenson who was beside himself at the moment and deliberately pretended to be deaf. "What did you say? Brother or lover? Can you repeat it? I didn't hear you."

Finn was a little flustered from this and avoided Baby Zetty's gaze while saying, "You have too many questions, Granny."

Baby Zetty smiled and said, "Come on now, don't be shy. Seeing how handsome you are, I know for sure that you're a giant among men. If you get together with that witch doctor's disciple, the two of you will make a great pair."

Gale pursed his lips and smiled.

He stealthily said to Baby Zetty, "Granny, you seem to be talking a lot today. Don't you know that one is bound to have a slip of the tongue if one talks too much?"
