Carson criticized the young master's way of putting his own safety first before matters of principle. " Young Master, if you had been outside commanding the Corvettes, perhaps you would've been able to catch the Ghost members.”
Cole muttered, "Fighting against Jay Ares is like lighting up a candle inside a toilet while looking for sh *t!”
Carson comforted Cole and said, "Young Master, even though he has defeated you, you shouldn't undervalue yourself!"
Cole sat up straight like a zombie and stared at Carson. "What did you just say?"
Carson did not think he had said anything wrong, hence he repeated, "Young Master, it's not shameful to lose to Jay Ares. You can't keep being afraid of losing t o him and be a tortoise for the rest of your life, right?"
Cole was so angry that he grabbed a pillow and threw i t at Carson. "Who said I’m going to be a turtle?"
Carson caught the pillow and stared at him. "Then, why didn't you go out and fight him tonight? You... You’re obviously afraid of losing!”
Cole retorted furiously, "Are you mad? Even if I win
him in a fight, I'd still lose. He's now Grandpa's darling grandson. If I win, he won’t be happy, and Gramps won't be thrilled as well. If Gramps is not happy, do you think he'll let me live my life carefreely?”
Carson had a sudden realization. "You're quite right."
Cole was a wise man with thousands of thoughts, but h e might have missed a thing or two.
He thought that he could escape if he did not participate or interfere.
Who would have thought that his grandfather who had lost his darling grandson would be so furious? The flames of his rage quickly spread to every corner o f the Yorks' stronghold.
Cole had no immunity at all.
Spencer and Cole looked at each other. Neither the father nor son wanted to be the first to respond.
Spencer whispered to his son, "Stinking brat. Your grandpa's usually nice to you, can't you try to persuade him?"
Cole retorted, "You’re pushing me into the mud, Old Man. Grandpa's fuming right now, and this is when he's most unreasonable. Whoever tries to reason with him is obviously seeking death."
The father and son duo put on the same solemn and silent expression.
The grand old master looked at his son with a bitter expression, yet his son looked sideways toward Cole without saying a word.
Seeing Spencer and Cole's unhinged attitudes, the grand old master flew into a rage. "I don't care what kind of methods you use, bring Jay back to me without hurting a single hair on him."
Spencer and Cole drooped their heads, sighing in despair.
