Jay pulled Finn up and grabbed him by the collar fiercely. He was akin to a ferocious leopard defending his kin in his territory.
He warned Finn viciously. "You’re 12 years older than Baby Zetty, Finn. From now on, you must take good care of yourself. You have to be able to take a fall and stand to fight forever to protect Baby Zetty. You can’t allow any harm to befall her. You'll have to live a long life and die after her. You’re never allowed to leave her alone to fend for herself in this world."
Finn burst into tears. "Thank you, Foster Father, for your blessing." 1
Jay shoved him off and angrily scoffed. "Why are you still calling me 'Foster Father’?’’
Finn immediately changed his words. "Dad."
Jay sat on the chair dejectedly and muttered," Remember, you’re my son-in-law, and one of mine."
Finn nodded solemnly. "Mm.”
Jay said with distress, "Baby Zetty is the only descendant of Boye. She's not an ordinary person. If you want to live a peaceful and stable life, I’m afraid you can't stay in Imperial Capital." "I know, Dad." On the way back, Finn was repeatedly thinking about Baby Zetty's safety.
The poison sect had not been eliminated. Although the Poison Old Fossil and the Poison Doctor were killed in the fire, their descendants were a group of poisonous doctors who would destroy humanity. What they devoted their entire lives to pursuing was attaining the highest realm of medicine. They would certainly pester Baby Zetty and force her to surrender Lynne Boye’s secret skills.
Finn said, "I've been thinking about this question for a long time. Since Zetty is Mr. Boye’s descendant, I suppose she would have to live the same life as Mr. Boye back then, always in hiding. I've decided to take her to a place where no one knows us and start a new life there."
Jay took a long, deep breath and said, "I'm grateful that you had the inclination to think about this matter."
Finn said, "Don't worry, Dad. I really like Baby Zetty. I'll take care of her and not have her endure any trials and hardships for the rest of her life. I’ll let her live a merry and worry-free life."
Jay nodded. "I know you'll never break your promise."
