When the two security guards heard that Baby Zetty was Boye's descendant, their eyes were immediately fixed on her. Their gazes were akin to countless sharp arrows shooting at Baby Zetty. They looked at her again and again while wondering aloud, "How can Boye’s descendant be older than Boye herself?”
This was tantamount to sprinkling salt all over Baby Zetty's wound.
Baby Zetty said, "Mister's principle in choosing an apprentice wasn’t about age but virtue."
Another security guard said, "Whether or not she's a fraud, the Poison Doctor said that it’s better to kill all o f them than to miss even one. Since this old lady has sent herself to us, let's just fulfill her wishes."
Then, they said to Baby Zetty, "Come with us."
After Baby Zetty entered the castle's gate, she started looking around to find the location of the laboratory.
She took the opportunity to dig out Sir Ares and the others' whereabouts as well. "Young men, you lot have been trying to catch Sir Ares for so long now. Have you finally caught him?"
The security guard heard Baby Zetty's contemptuous tone and said, "Are you trying to look down on us? I’m
telling you now, even if the folks from Imperial Capital are powerful, they’ll eventually lose to us poison sect."
"Well, not all of them." Another security guard said," Two managed to slip through our fingers. One's called Robbie... Baby or whatnot, and the other one is Gill... Or Gale... The two weren't poisoned, so they managed to escape. The Poison Doctor said that these two are very powerful and want us to pay close attention to Sir Ares and his group, lest they get rescued by them."
Baby Zetty got to know Daddy's situation now and said to them casually, "So that's how they lost? They were poisoned? If you people hadn’t used poison, you wouldn't even be well-matched opponents for them."
One of the security guards nodded, accepting that statement. "That's true. They're way too smart, and each one of them is extraordinarily skilled. Only that Zayne guy is as stupid as we are."
The other security guard smacked him. "Why are you boosting other people's prestige and undermining your own people? Stupid."
"I'm just telling the truth," said the security guard aggrievedly.
The farther they walked inside, the stronger the smell of medicine.
Baby Zetty frowned and said, "Poisonous air."
