What wrong had he done for him to witness the murder that both his grandfathers brought?
His wife and kids also had to suffer. Jay endured it all, but it did not mean that he did not carry any hatred in his heart.
Noel had no idea what he was talking about, so he thought that Jay was ignoring him. He suddenly punched him in his stomach with fury.
Jay curled up in pain.
Grand Old Master Yorks said to him, "If you want to die, I shall grant you your wish.”
How could Jay die like that? He still had Angeline and his kids. Besides, he still had a mission to complete.
Thus, he replied without hesitation, "Old man, if you kill me, I can guarantee you that someone will take the Nine Paintings and destroy the whole of Mount Pearl. You can taste the bitterness of losing everything that you have by then.”
Grand Old Master Yorks' fist halted in the air. The Nine Paintings was the one thing that he was worried about the most.
When Jay saw the fearful look on the Grand Old Master Yorks' face, he laughed.
The grand old master held grudges, and he had to
exact his revenge for every grudge he bore. When he saw that glee on Jay's face, he felt very unhappy.
"B*stard, don't get too cocky. So what if you have the Nine Paintings? Mount Pearl is treacherous and hard t o get into. I can guarantee that you won't survive the trip back home."
Grand Old Master Yorks rolled his eyes at Jay. "Do you think that you can get out safely without handing over the Nine Paintings?"
Jay replied, "This place is great, I eat and stay for free, and I have you to feed me as well. I'm having the time of my life here, so I don't think that I'll ever leave."
Grand Old Master Yorks looked at him, speechless. The life of a prisoner was always bitter and hard, but this guy was having fun.
