Chapter 923


    Sitting in his battle aircraft, Cole took off his foxshaped mask and looked down at Tourmaline Estate.


    Like a winner staring at his opponent from above, a victorious smile red in his eagle-like eyes.


    "All of you will pay for the death of Aunt Chloe, Jay Ares."


    Bats took off from the ground at the same time and began to fly around the estate, raining beads of


    concentrated biochemical weaponry.


    Meanwhile, Jay''s tank went mad like a demon who had finally been released after being locked


    away for millennia, firing high caliber bombs from its back as it crashed recklessly within the estate.


    After losing hundreds of tanks to the bats, Jay initiated self-destruct on his.


    "May the glory of Tourmaline Estate be remembered i n history." Jay''s eyes glistened with stubborn


    tears.


    "Boom!"


    Likerges crashing, Tourmaline Estate exploded.


    Red hot mes burst in the air while pieces of tinder joined and fueled the sea of fire.


    Cole gaped in shock with wide eyes as he stared at the orange sea.


    "You’re a cruel man, Jay Ares."


    Soon enough, the Spiriter approached and reported, " Tourmaline Estate is engulfed by poisonous


    gas, Young Master. There’s no way the people within Tourmaline Estate would survive this, not


    when Jay Ares used a specialbustion gas."


    Cole was stunned into a stupor.


    "He fought intending to die, didn’t he? Indeed, Jay Ares, I''m no match for your courage, your


    intellect, or your strength.”


    "It''s almost sunrise, Young Master. Let us return."


    Cole stared nkly at the sea of mes beneath.


    "It should be impossible for Jay’s tank to survive such a widespread fire, right?"


    The Spiriter replied, "Unless he''s a god, I think not."

    Cole lifted a hand. "Mission aplished."


    The bats above the estate began to disperse, lifting the heavy gloom that once weighed over it.


    From the foot of the mountain behind the estate, Josephine watched the happenings within


    Tourmaline with frightfully widened eyes.


    She watched Jay control the tank, and she watched Jay blow up the estate himself.


    "No..."


    After a long while, Josephine screamed heart-wrenchingly only to have Zayne reach out to muffle


    her mouth.


    "Don''t scream, Josephine!"


    "But Jay-" Josephine was too upset to speak. Her heart burned in her chest and her throat was


    clogged. There was no outlet for the anguish within her.


    Eyes red, Zayne held her tightly against himself. "It’s over now, Josephine. It''s over now."


    As far as they were concerned, Jay had used his death to protect the public''s perception of


    Tourmaline Estate. They had watched, with their own two eyes, how Jay turned the tables on the


    Doomsday Organization with his intellect and how he disyed extraordinary amounts of courage


    by initiating self-destruct.


    At the very least, Doomsday Organization could not humiliate thete Ares family the same way


    they had with the people of Bright Moon Vige.


    Jay''s selflessness had made it hard for everyone who watched to breathe.


    First light pierced through the horizon as the earth met a new dawn.


    The sound of fire sirens rang loud within Imperial Capital.


    People had already surrounded the outside of Tourmaline Estate.


    s, they were at a loss in face of a fire that roared to meters of height.


    Within the secret castle.


    After a short rest overnight, light shone into Angeline''s eyes again.
