Chapter 1290


    If anyone tried to find a specific book in here, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.


    Fortunately, Jay was guided by the map in his head. He knew that the register was located in the 48


    Stronghold’spartment bookshelf.


    At this moment, a huge gecko had upied the tall bookshelf inpartment 48. His leg was


    bleeding non-stop. He took out the medicine kit he carried with him, then applied medicine and


    bandaged it to stop the bleeding.


    Jay bypassed the guards in the library and sneaked inside.


    After entering the 48 Strongholdpartment, Jay began searching for the register on the shelf.

    Suddenly, a tinge of crimson on a page of a book caught Jay''s attention. He touched the crimson


    spot o n the page with his finger and could feel the moisture on it. Jay was on his guard


    immediately.


    A wounded assassin was hiding up above.


    This was his spection.


    In an instant, a ball of lightning shed in Jay''s mind. He exerted strength and smacked his hand on


    the bookshelf suddenly. An overwhelming murderous


    aura started bearing down on him.


    Jay made a few rotations at lightning speed and dodged the assassin''s cold de.


    Jay looked at the assassin who was wearing a ck stealth suit and had a hood over his head. His


    mouth, nose, and eyes were covered firmly. The thought of him hiding in Angeline''s bedst night


    sent a burst of anger spurting from the depths of his heart. His eyes exuded an ice-cold aura.


    "Let me see your face." He clenched his fist, shifted his position, and started galloping on the


    rounded wall like a gecko, attacking the assassin from the side.


    The assassin had just finished treating his leg injury, s o the pain in his bandaged leg had subsided


    greatly. For a demon like him who had gone through hell-like training, this bit of pain could hardly


    affect his performance.


    He and Jay fought head-on. Jay''s punches were heavy and his speed was like lightning. His mixed


    martial arts skills had attained perfection.


    On the other hand, the young man''s fist technique itself was built to be lethal enough to eliminate


    formidable enemies. When his fists wereunched, the spot where Jay dodged them would be


    smashed into a pit.


    "You’re pretty good, eh?" Jay praised.


    The young man’s voice was weak and feeble. "So are you."


    The two fought for a very long time and were impossible to separate.


    Perhaps the fight was too intense, so the register that the young man had stolen fell out of his waist.


    When Jay saw the register, his eyes lit up.


    "I see you''re here to steal the treasure," Jay said.


    The young man''s lips curved into a dreamy smile. " You''re wrong. I''m here to kill someone."


    Perhaps it was hard to tell who was better, so the young man decided to back out.


    He withdrew his fists, retreated a yard away, and said t o Jay, "I don''t want the register anymore.


    Help me pass on a message to Cole. Tell him that for every grievance, someone is responsible. For


    every debt, there''s a debtor. I wille back one day to collect the outstanding debt he owes me."


    Having said that, the young man pushed the bookshelf aside and escaped from the open window.


    Jay did not intend to chase after him. He quickly picked up the register from the ground and flipped


    through it.


    ording to the table of contents, he found the list of foreign households in no time at all.


    Just as he expected, Spencer had lied. The Yorks'' stronghold did seize foreign captives thest few


    years, but Baby Robbie''s name was not listed in it.


    On a page with a missing corner, he found an astonishing word on it, ''Monster''!


    Only half of it remained. It must have been ripped off b y that thief.


    Jay looked out the window in the direction where the thief had disappeared, his eagle eyes


    suddenly shrouded with haze.


    ''That must’ve been you, right, Monster?''


    There was amotion outside the door. "There’s an assassin inside. Go in and search the ce,


    quick!”


    Jay threw the register on the ground and ran out following the same route where the young man


    had escaped from.


    Refreshing Breeze Courtyard.


    Carson stood in front of Angeline reverently, looking like an obedient child being admonished by his


    teacher.


    Angeline had been discussing many irrelevant topics earlier. Once she was doneying the


    foundation, she went straight into it. "Be honest with me, Carson.


    When you destroyed Tourmaline Estate three years ago, did you take my Baby Robbie away? I


    know your young master has always been fond of my Baby Robbie.”
