Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 404

Jay's handsome face was ashen.

He had suspected this before. However, when he got out of the ICU, Angeline's funeral was already completed. Every evidence of the investigation was also destroyed... He had to accept that her death was caused by an accident.

Still, his exceptional rationality and calmness brought him back to his senses. "Zayne, don't waste any more time. We have an emergency on our hands, which is to find Rose. Once we find her, I'm sure that she can answer any doubts you have in your heart!"

Jay shoved Zayne's hand away and ran forward.

Zayne hesitated before saying, "Rose knows the answers? Bullsh*t! You're obviously playing me by taking me for a fool."

Zayne ignored Jay's request to split up. Instead, he tailed him. He wanted to know what secrets Rose held.

Jay went round and round within Fragrant Vessel Court, his clothes completely soaked. However, he still could not find Rose. Even so, he had no notion to give up just yet.

Zayne took off his shirt and covered his head with it. H e leisurely plucked some vines, made it into a crown, and wore it on his head.

He followed Jay breezily.

"Rose!"

"Rose."

Behind Jay's heart-rending shrieks were Zayne's lazy bleats.

Jay glared at him intensely. "Are you dying?"

"You know very well that my body's naturally weak, unlike yours that's so full of life."

Jay stared at the look on Zayne's face as if things did not concern him anymore. A cold smile curled on Jay's lips.

"Zayne Severe, you're not worried, are you?"

Zayne replied, "Master Ares, now that Rose has disappeared, the fact that I'm not celebrating right now is because I'm being courteous." A devilish smile formed upon Jay's mesmerizing lips.

Zayne looked at the dark expression on Jay's face, feeling as if he was being crushed under a mountain. He stumbled back in terror.

"Zayne Severe..." Jay looked around him. Under the maelstrom were leaves and trees brutalized by the wind. There were no other beings that moved as far as the eyes could see. Under the pouring rain, Jay finally spoke up, and what he had to say was shocking.

"Listen carefully, you will swallow every single word that I'm going to say right now. This secret will follow you to your grave. If you dare speak a word of it, I won't show you mercy." Zayne suddenly had a serious look on his face. "Then, can I choose not to listen? You know that I'm incapable of doing things and I have a big mouth..."

"It's going to be dark soon. This is the day when all the evil spirits of the Tourmaline Estate emerge from their hidey-holes. I'm being held back by some other people, so the task of finding Rose has to be yours."

Zayne was on the verge of tears. "Sir Ares, I don't want to do this..."

"You have to do this."

"Why?"

"Because you're the only one I can trust." Jay looked at him earnestly.

Zayne was shocked by this. "I'm very honored to be trusted by an egoistic, monumental figure like you. However, I'm sorry I have to disappoint you. I don't want to do this at all."

Jay's eagle eyes stared coldly at the man before him." Not only do you have to do it, but you must succeed."

Zayne gulped. "F*ck, you're making this hard for me, aren't you? You want me, someone who has never accomplished anything in his life, to do something that a genius like you can't achieve? Don't you think you're being a little too cruel?"
