Chapter 720 The blood–stained look from Sage‘s eyes scared Flynn and froze him up. Felipe bumped his second brother and approached with an apologetical smile, “Sage, don‘t be angry. We don‘t have any means of that. We just hope you would consider executing Jace‘s will.” “I won‘t consider it,” her face was emotionless from the start, “I‘m not his wife and do not have the authority.”

After getting the cold shoulder, Flynn and Felipe failed to accomplish their mission and even offended Sage. Their faces looked very terrible.
