Chapter 1349


    "Can I know how you lost the hostage?" the young man asked with gging interest.


    Lil Nine exined, "Sigh, he''s more quick-witted than I am. I tried to set him up using toxic powder,


    but he covered his eyes very quickly. I then tried tounch a sneak attack, but he sprinkled the


    powder on my face as I approached him... I couldn’t see, so that''s when he took the hostage away."


    The look of admiration for Jenson was written all over Sis Iris'' face. "I think he has mind-reading


    skills. He seems to know every move that I''m about to make, then uses the easiest and most


    effortless way to ward off my attack. He''s a really formidable opponent."


    Sis Two tossed Lil Nine her eye drops. "Detoxify your eyes first before you go and settle ounts


    with that cunning man."


    Sis Iris was only poisoned for a short period of time, coupled with the minuscule amount of toxic


    powder that entered her eyes, the detoxifying eye drops were able to heal her eyes very quickly.


    Now that their stronghold was destroyed, the military intelligence division could only move to the


    third stronghold-Pegasus Anchorhold on the outskirts of the county.

    The group of stunners set off for Pegasus Anchorhold. Walking at the very back of the group, Sis


    Iris felt something sticking out of her chest, which made her very ufortable.


    She then remembered that it belonged to the hostage.


    When Sis Iris took the skyntern out, it was already torn apart. Lil Nine unfolded it gently, trying her


    best t o patch up the broken edges as much as possible.


    Then, she scrutinized every corner.


    It did not take long for her to find the words ''Baby Robbie'' written with blood on the skyntern.


    Lil Nine was inwardly surprised. She cast a suspicious look at the young man walking in front of her.


    She remembered that the young man''s name had the word ''Rob'' in it.


    Lil Nine became sensitive. After removing the soft frame of the skyntern, she folded the paper


    written with the words ''Baby Robbie'' neatly and put it away. 1

    After countless inch by inch searches by the Yorks'' stronghold''s Corvettes, Carson finally found


    Cole in the cliff cave. His life was hanging by a thread.


    He saw Cole curled up in the puddle. The man who was obsessed with cleanliness was soiled and


    dirty. There was even a stinky sock in his mouth. What was even more shocking than that was that


    his fingernails had been peeled and tossed aside. His slender and


    beautiful hands were stained with blood.


    The high and lofty man was currently lying lifelessly i n the puddle.


    "You brat! What took you so long?" His voice that was supposed to sound resentful and furious


    sounded weak and feeble instead, carrying no power to intimidate at all.


    Carson said with tears in his eyes, "I''m sorry for beingte, Young Master."


    Carson carried Cole, who wasden with injuries and suffering from severe cold, to the Yorks’


    stronghold''s medical center.


    When Patriarch Spencer saw the tragic state that Cole was in, he was infuriated. "Which b*stard did


    this, Cole? Tell me and I will avenge you."


    Cole''s listless pupils suddenly exuded an ice-cold gleam, whichsted for a fleeting moment. Then,


    his weak voice drifted in the air. "I don’t know."


    Spencer roared furiously. "When I find out who did this to you, I will make sure to tear him to


    shreds."


    Cole was severely injured. Although the Yorks'' stronghold''s medical technology was particrly


    advanced and Cole was in his prime where his body''s resistance and immunity were at their


    strongest, the assassin still nearly caused devastating damages to Cole with his ravaging


    resentment.


    Cole would need a long time to recover.


    That night, the military intelligence division moved into Pegasus Anchorhold.


    The anchorhold was located halfway up the mountain. It was quiet up there, and their meals


    consisted of only in tea and simple food.


    After having his first vegetarian meal, the young man startedining.


    "Why does a woman even want to be an anchoress? Their attire isn''t pretty, and even their


    vegetarian meals aren’t as rich as what pet dogs in wealthy families eat. Also, don''t they feel bored


    holding their prayer beads all day, chanting and praying? I really don’t understand why they would


    want to give up on the best things that life has to offer?"


    Despite her young age, Eldest Sister was the only adult among this group of children. She was a


    gentle, gorgeous, and generousdy.


    Eldest Sister said, "That''s because you don''t get it. Some people live only to be troubled by the


    things in the secr and mundane world, which leads to an agonizing life. The only way for them to


    get relief is to live beyond the worldly possessions that the mortal world has to offer."


    When she said those words, her seemingly ck obsidian pupils became deeper and deeper. It


    was as i f this was the source of all her grief and sadness at the moment.


    The young man looked hopeful. "When I grow up, I''ll find a soul mate and spend a blissful life with


    her. I don’t want to be an anchorite."


    Lil Thirteen rolled her eyes at him and poured cold water on him, saying, "Military intelligence


    division agents can’t fall in love."
