Jacob wasn’t as involved in the affairs in Harleydale Senior High as he wanted to give Evelyn more
space. Because of that, there were times that he would receive news late.
This was also one of the reasons why he gave Victoria Presley another chance yesterday. It would look
more natural and be safer if someone the same age as Evelyn looked after and protected her.
However, it seems some people just can’t sit still and wait for help.
Although Jacob’s expression was cold, he looked to his innocent looking sister and gave a shake of his
head.
My stupid little sister, I can’t leave her alone yet.
Jacob pondered for a moment before nodding his head, “Go ahead, call them to come now.”
“Now? It’s dark already, how about tomorrow?” Janelle asked while batting her lashes.
Jacob shook his head and said, “If they don’t come now, do not blame me for not giving them another

“Alright, alright, I’ll call them now.” Janelle took her phone out and was about to dial a number when her
brother said, with his eyes blazing. “Make sure that only two of them come, I don’t want to see more.”
“Only you would request so much.” Janelle mumbled under her breath.
Not even twenty minutes later, Steven Winston and his daughter, Evelyn arrived at Rowan Lane. They
tried to enter the grounds but were stopped by a shadow ranger under the rowan tree.
Evelyn pulled at her father’s sleeve and gave him a calm look. She took a step forward and told the
shadow ranger, “Mr. Lynch asked for us.”
“Okay ma’am, the boss is over there.” The shadow ranger pointed into a direction. Evelyn looked at the
direction he was pointing to and saw a ruin sitting several tens of meters away. She said thanks to the
ranger and made her way down the ruined road with her father.
“Hmph, what a show-off!” Steven grumbled, as he had been unhappy these past few days.
“Dad!” Evelyn stopped walking and looked at her father with a stern look, “If you’re going to act like this
in front of Mr. Lynch, we better go back now, and maybe we can live another two days!”
Seeing his daughter’s expression, Steven hesitated to speak more, but after experiencing the ups and
downs of the world these past two days, he slumped his head and said, “Okay, I understand that we’re
going to ask a favor, and not to judge a person.”
Very quickly the father and daughter pair arrived at the ruins, and two figures came into view.
The night breeze blew as Evelyn looked at the figure that was as magnificent as a mountain. She took
a long breath to soothe her agitated heart.
The Warlord of Bare Dragons; the one who destroy elements and nature in fiery anger, the one who
coerce and dominate the four regions, stood right before her. Although he stood among ruins, it was as
if they were at the mansion of a god situated at the summit of a mountain. His gaze was piercing like a
ghost going through a body, it penetrated the heart.

“Which is your brother?”
“My brother is…” Evelyn answered in a weak and meek voice.
“Whatever, I don’t care who your brother is. You have great guts to have people come looking for my
sister…”
“Brother!” Janelle warned.
Jacob looked at his sister and shook his head exasperatedly. He gave a sigh and continued in a cold
voice, “Since my sister asked for you to be forgiven, I don’t mind just letting you go. But…”
Hearing that, Evelyn clenched her hands together tightly. The life and death of the Winston family all
depended on the words of this man that stood in front of her.
After a moment of suspense, Jacob said slowly, “I want half of your family’s possessions.”
