Chapter 1322


    Grayson cautiously reminded Jay, saying, "Mr. Ares, if the Nine Paintings are handed over, I''m


    afraid it''ll bring disaster to the Yorks."


    After all, the Yorks were still Jay’s mother''s family. Grayson was worried that his master would make


    the wrong decision on impulse, hence he felt it was necessary to remind Jay.


    Jay looked at Storm and Grayson''s bewildered faces, saying, "The Yorks family owe Angeline too


    much.


    We''ll use the Nine Paintings topensate for her return.”


    Storm and Grayson blushed in shame silently.


    In Mr. Ares’ heart, the missus'' cement was truly unmatchable.


    Once Grayson was clear about Jay''s intention, he began nning. "Storm, I''ll go and get the Nine


    Paintings. You go and mobilize the Ghost members along with Mr. Ares."


    Jay interrupted, "No. The other party asked me to go alone. It''ll be disadvantageous for Angeline if


    you guys go along."


    "Mr. Ares, the other party hase prepared. You''ll be walking into a trap. How about you let us


    come with


    you?”


    Jay appeared resolute as he said, "Angeline is in his grasp, and I cannot let her be in any danger.


    Just do it ording to my n.”


    Jay returned to the newly built bamboo forest courtyard. Just thinking about seeing Angeline again


    was making him extremely ecstatic.


    He took a shower and changed into clean clothes to replenish his energy.


    By the time Grayson came in with a box, Jay had been waiting for a long time.


    Without saying anything else, Jay took the Nine Paintings box Grayson handed to him and walked


    out.


    In Noblemen Garden, Guesthouse Inn.


    The young man was leaning on the roof with his arms resting on his head. His legs were crossed as


    he squinted at the only entrance to Noblemen Garden.


    When Jay appeared in his field of vision holding the box, the young man sat upnguidly.


    "You''ve arrived?" The young man looked at Jay condescendingly.


    Jay stopped on the bluestone path, his sharp eyes scanning every corner of Noblemen Garden.


    When he failed to see Angeline around, Jay’s face instantly turned gloomy.


    Jay was not one to tolerate nonsense and went straight to the point. "I''ve brought you the Nine


    Paintings. But, you''ll first have to return the person to w _ 99 me.


    The young man pped his hands and suddenly, a wooden pir revolved and fell like a windmill


    shaft. I t fell right in front of Jay, revealing Angeline who was tied on the wooden pole. A woman with


    a silver mask was standing next to her.


    Jay saw that Angelina''s hands were tied behind her back as if she was a roasted chicken. Even


    though her mouth was not sealed, Angeline was abnormally quiet.


    Jay spected that Angelina''s disorder was severe enough to make her lose hermunication


    ability.

    He felt extremely distressed and was immediately enraged for her. Jay angrily said, "Let her go."


    The young man retorted, "First, hand the Nine Paintings over to me."


    Jay opened up the box and pulled out the Nine Paintings before proceeding to throw the box away.


    The Nine Paintings were sandwiched between his fingers. Jay held it up and uttered, "Untie her."


    The young man tried to bargain. "Give it to me first. I want to know its authenticity."


    Jay threw them to him almost immediately, and it was as if there were nine hidden spiral weapons


    flying toward the young man.


    In a sh, Jay flew over and showed up in front of


    Angeline at lightning speed.


    A hint of grassy fragrance was faintly emitting from the masked girl next to Angeline. Jay was


    secretly rmed by this. It turned out the other party went as far as to switch them.


    The girl in the mask was his real Angeline. She showered with grass-scented shower gel all year


    round, making the scent linger on her body.


    Jay carried the quietly still masked girl and was preparing to head off quickly. At this time, however,


    the decoy Angeline who was tied up like a roasted chicken showed an astonished expression.


    Then, she snapped off the loose rope behind her and extended her hand to scatter some powder on


    him.


    Once the powder entered Jay’s eyes, he felt an immediate sting as his vision started to be


    blurry.


    The young man carefully identified the Nine Paintings ’ authenticity and determined them to be real.


    He saidcently, "This is what they meant when they said one would search high and low for


    something only to find it when one least expects to!"


    Then, he jumped from the roof andnded in front of Jay.
