Jay's eyes were somber as he said, "I believe in you."

Zayne was somewhat touched by his blind confidence. Throughout his entire life, this was the first time someone highly regarded him. Furthermore, that someone was the crown prince of Imperial Capital. Zayne felt out of place. "What if... What if... I fail?"

Jay's gaze pierced right through him. "What if I tell you that Rose is Angeline? Now, do you still want a taste of failure?"

The other man froze like a statue.

After a long pause, Zayne excitedly removed the laurel on his head and grasped Jay's hand. "You could even come up with such a lame excuse just to coax me into searching someone, huh?" Jay replied, "This is the truth."

Although Zayne thought that this was ridiculous, this matter was too important. He lowered himself and asked Jay, "Can you give me a good reason to believe you?"

"The difference between Rose before and after the accident is staggering. The Rose we know now has all of Angelina's skills and abilities."

Zayne looked at Jay, astonished. "So, you're saying

that Angel was resurrected in Rose's body?"

Jay nodded, making the other man shudder.

He was both excited and elated as if something had awoken the decadent fury within him.

In an instant, Zayne became full of... Life.

"My sister's back?"

He thought of him fighting with Rose, of Rose going down on her knees just to save him, and of how Rose loved eating tete de veau, French calf's head... Zayne doubted no more.

"My sister's back." He was beaming with joy.

"If you don't look for her now, you might lose her later on," said Jay, his words a splash of cold water.

Looking at Jay suspiciously, Zayne said, "It seems that you're worried about her. Perhaps you're not the one who set up the accident?" 1

Jay knew that Zayne had cleared up everything in his mind, so he did not bother to banter some more useless bullsh*t with him.

Instead, he solemnly reminded him, "If you don't want others to treat her like an alien, you'd better bring this secret to your grave." "You don't have to remind me. That's my sister we're talking about. I'd never do anything to harm her," Zayne said sincerely.

Boom!

A thunderclap echoed across the winter sky.

It shook both men to their cores.

The skies darkened and the road was obscured by the night. Jay and Zayne sprinted forward like madmen.

The night was long, and so was their torturous ordeal!

Josephine gathered many men to help as she saw the two most important men in her life scrambling around, worried about Rose. She felt somewhat envious. Jay had predicted as such. Even if he wanted to look for Rose with all that he could muster, the heavens would not allow so.

It was midnight, and the hotel provided by Tourmaline Estate to guests from faraway lands was suddenly on fire.

As John frantically came to report about the matter, Jay burst out of his calmness

"You should be handling this sort of matters yourself!"

John felt wronged and said, "The flames are spreading fast, and many people are trapped in the fire. It's a matter of life and death. Jay, you have to go..." Jay closed his eyes. He had no other choice.

Zayne stared at him, finally realizing why he told him that secret. It was because he knew that he would be occupied...

Sensing Jay's pain and struggle, he walked forward and reassured him, "Sir Ares, I'm around. You can go." Jay nodded and left.
