On her way back, Sage received a call from an unknown number. She suddenly felt her heart was
compressed when she saw the unknown number. Without any reason, she kinda guessed who was on
the other end of the phone. Her intuition had always been very accurate.
She stayed silent when she answered the phone. A low and smoky voice was heard, “. Sweetheart.”
The voice was the most beloved type of voice by all the young girls; yet, it could make a person’s scalp
numb.
Sage’s body tensed up as if she had lost control of her own body. She had to admit it. Even after ten
years, she was still afraid of his voice.
Being locked in the prison made of iron, she curled up with shackles around her wrists and ankles and
a collar around her neck. It was very cold and cramped. Humiliation and fear were all she felt. How
could she think about her dignity when the safety of her life could not be guaranteed?
A man slowly approached her. Under the faint moonlight, she could see his face was sharp like an ax,
and his dark and deep eyes were like the night. He squatted in front of her, pulled her collar to drag her
to him, and licked the wound on her chin with his tongue.
“Sweetheart.” She could hear him whispering in a low and clear tone beside her ears. “Your blood is so
tasty.”
Sage shivered and gritted her teeth. “Jekyll.”
There were a few low hums from the other side. “Ten years later, you are still so smart and brave.”
Jekyll was of mixed blood, but he could speak fluent English. He teased Sage like a good buddy, “How
is your darling?”
Sage narrowed her eyes and spoke coldly, “He is not my darling.” “Oh, I forgot. He used to be.” Jekyll
corrected himself, “Although he is your ex-husband, you still care about him, don’t you.”
Sage slowly pulled the phone away from her ears and switched on the speaker. At the same time, she
switched the interface to another place and started to trace his location. She was still communicating
with him like usual, “No, I care more about you than him.”
“Hahahaha….” He laughed out loud. “You, who had been married, are definitely more passionate and
revealing compared to ten years ago. Are you tracking my location, honey?”
Her expression showed a hint of coldness. As she had expected, Jekyll had set up barriers. It would
take a lot of éffort to track down his actual location.
“You already had very good hacking skills ten years ago. But don’t you forget, you used to be my
underdog.” He kept talking to Sage as if teasing and playing with a kid. Sage continued, despite
everything Jekyll said, “As you said, ten years have passed. You are old and ugly now.”
The other party paused for a while and continued laughing again. “As expected from the girl I have
been missing for ten years. Sharp mouth, as usual, I like it.”
Sage just cleared an IP address, but her opponent changed to another IP address. She frowned,
and a hint of regret appeared on her face for a few seconds. She knew he was playing with her and
that engulfed her so much that she wanted to slam her phone. “Jekyll, what are you up to this time?”
Sage hated him so much that she wanted to kill him.” You had already murdered my parent. If you want
my blood or my life, just come and take it!”
Unlike Sage, Jekyll was very chilled. “Who told you your parents are dead?” Sage was dumbfounded.
