Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 914

The grand old master nodded with a smile. "Sure."

While both believed that their plans were the best, the two believed even more in their own ability in looking for loopholes in the other's scheme.

"You can't go back on your words, Jay. I won't hide in the Underground Palace if you don't get in the tank."

Jay was an exceptional negotiator. "11:59 PM. We'll follow through with the other's plans."

Grand Old Master was displeased, for he had not an inch of advantage in the situation. "You've never once let your grandfather win. Haven't you ever heard of respecting your elders?"

Jay Ares held his ground. "You've never let me win either, Grandfather, not even when I was just a baby. Haven't you heard of letting children win? How am I supposed to respect my elders if you've never taught me what it means to let children win, Grandfather?"

Grand Old Master waved a hand at him. "Go away. All you know how to do is frustrate me."

Jay turned and left.

The grand old master tapped without rhythm against the coffee table in front of him, his expression one of confusion. "I'd like to see how you're going to hide us all in the Underground Palace." Exiting Chateau de Selene, Jay looked up at the tower with the countdown numbers on it.

D3!

A confident smile broke on his chiseled features.

Two days later.

Angeline spent every day calling Baby Robbie only to be sent to voicemail every time. The person at the other end of the line did not show any hints of picking up. That had Angeline growing anxious. With no other option, she dialed the numbers of friends who lived over in S country and inquired about the situation of the Taekwondo competition there.

However, this was what she heard from her friends," There isn't any youth division Taekwondo competition in S country, though."

Angeline felt her heart sink.

Summoning her courage, she dialed Jay's number to ask.

Red Spider Lily was a bright song, sang by Angeline herself when she was young. Her voice was light and clear, while her heart was carefree and void of anything negative.

Putting it as his ringtone, Jay would play it time and time again whenever he found himself missing Angeline.

Jay was stunned to hear Red Spider Lily ring out on its own accord this time. After a while, he reached out a shaky hand to pick up the phone.

The screen displayed Angeline's name.

Jay's chest was full with a heart-warming surprise.

Trembling, he accepted the call. After a long while of silence did Angeline's interrogative voice ring out." Where's Robbie? Where are you keeping him?" Her voice seemed to drip with distress.

Jay wanted nothing more than to console her, but this was also the last day. He refused to provoke her during such dangerous times. "Angeline Severe!" He forced his voice to sound as cold and collected as possible. "I've already sent Robbie to a secret location to train." Jay prayed that Robbie going missing was merely a calamity and that he would soon return to soothe the pain Angelina was due.
