The wind was sorrowful and cold just like their hearts.

Sir Ares led the Imperial Capital team to return to Imperial Capital along the road they came from.

His heart that was previously brimming with confidence in bringing his baby girl back had now settled down. Baby Zetty could no longer jest around and accompany them as they went home.

One could only imagine the pain in Sir Ares' heart.

Other than Sir Ares, Grayson and Andy, who were rescued by Baby Zetty, were in even more pain.

Andy even slapped herself fiercely and knelt in front of Sir Ares. She remorsefully said, "It's all my fault, Daddy. If it hadn't been because of me, we wouldn't have come to Sacred Land. Perhaps Sis Zetty's fate wouldn't have turned out this way."

Sir Ares helped Andy up and said distressedly, "My darling Andy, it's not your fault. Even if you weren't poisoned, we wouldn't have been able to change the connection between Baby Zetty and Sacred Land." At this moment, Baby Robbie stood up and said with extreme guilt, "It was me. I failed to protect my sisters. I failed to fulfill my obligations. Please punish me, Daddy."

Sir Ares said nothing and merely heaved a long sigh.

Then, Finn interrupted in a daze, "Don't blame yourselves. I should be the one at fault. If it weren't for me, Baby Zetty would've never walked on the path of studying medicine in the first place..."

Sir Ares finally got angry and said, "What's the matter with all of you? Will saying these words change anything now? All of you, cheer up this instant. If Baby Zetty were to witness all of you acting like a bunch of bereaved, abandoned dogs, she'd be filled with nothing but regrets."

The group stopped talking altogether.

Every one of them had a mournful look on their faces a s they walked along the mountain road like a group of zombies.

As they descended the mountain, they noticed a slender and thin figure standing at the cramped intersection.

Jenson cried out, "Gale?"

Gale had his arms folded over his chest as he grinned. His smile was bright and beautiful as always.

"Since Sis Zetty is gone now, I have nowhere else to g o. Can you take me with you?" Gale appealed to them humbly.

Cole suddenly remembered Gale's fierce fighting style and those mysterious demonic phantoms that appeared when he fought with his opponents. He tugged on Sir Ares' clothes and whispered, "This person is by no means as simple as he seems. It's better for us to stay away from him."

Gale seemed to have heard Cole's words, so he smiled and said, "Rest assured, Sir Ares. I can swear to the gods that I, Gale Quinn, will never hurt anyone in the Ares family."

Zayne was unconvinced by this. He walked up to Gale, patted on his chest, and said, "What about me?"

Gale looked at Zayne and asked with a smile, "Aren't you an Ares as well?"

Zayne protested, "I'm a Severe. When did I become an Ares?"

Gale responded, "You're the Ares family's son-in-law, so you're regarded as half an Ares. I'll treasure any Tom, Dick, or Harry that's a part of the Ares family, not just someone who's half an Ares." Only then did Zayne become more relieved.

Sir Ares looked at Gale. Although this child had many secrets, he was also filled with righteousness. Gale's eyes were like bright stars that were overlooking distant mountains. They had a captivating charm, but they also contained evil influence.

He was righteous yet nefarious!

However, Sir Ares remembered that Gale had once supported the aging and weak Baby Zetty to come to Sacred Land. For this, he was grateful. If this

righteous yet nefarious child was left outside, he might go astray. If he were to stay with him, perhaps Gale would turn out well like the military intelligence division girls who had learned the ways of the world Sir Ares asked, "If you follow me back to the Ares house, are you willing to be my foster son, Gale?"

Gale flatly rejected him. "My apologies, Sir Ares. I'll not be your son."

Sir Ares did not force him and said, "It's completely up to you."
