Chapter 5070
'F*ck!'
Ambrose and Neil were mortified when they saw Antigonus. They quickly hid behind a
rock. After they fought with Antigonus, they knew how powerful and terrifying he was.
However, they did not panic either. It was clear that Antigonus had just come out for a
walk and that he would leave soon. What annoyed Ambrose and Neil the most was that he
stood in front of the platform of the stone house without moving. Antigonus gazed at the
ocean and spaced out.
The time slowly passed. One minute... Two minutes, five minutes...
Soon, ten minutes had passed, and Antigonus still stood at the platform with no intention
of leaving.
Ambrose and Neil started to panic. Ambrose clenched his fist so tight that his palm began
to sweat.

Neil furrowed his brows and looked at the sky. The sun was almost up in the sky.
Neil looked solemn as he suggested, "Ambrose, we can't wait any longer.
The sun is almost out. Our last resort is to exchange hostages." 'Exchange hostage?'
Initially, Ambrose did not understand, but he soon realized what Neil meant. "Are you
saying... We head back to the bedchamber, kidnap the baby, and exchange the baby with
Heather?"
Ambrose was quite brilliant too, so he immediately knew what Neil was thinking.
Neil nodded. "Yes. Since it's their baby, it means that the baby is very important to them.
I'm sure they're willing to exchange."
Ambrose exhaled heavily and made the decision. "Alright. Let's do what you mentioned."
Ambrose would not have done such despicable things since he was the Master of the
Elysium Gate. However, since it was for Heather, he no longer cared.
After a brief discussion, Ambrose and Neil retreated discreetly to a place where they were
sure Antigonus would not discover them. Then, they turned around and went to the
bedchamber.
Soon, they passed by the garden and reached the bedchamber. They saw that the maids
were dozing off, and the baby was not crying anymore. It was very peaceful and quiet.
They made eye contact. Neil stayed behind to guard, and Ambrose barged into the
bedchamber.
When he was inside, he saw a baby lying on a luxurious bed. The baby was sound asleep,
and a pretty maid was guarding him.
The maid was spooked by Ambrose's sudden intrusion. She exclaimed," You... Who are
you?"
No one was allowed to enter The Empress's bedchamber.
Ambrose did not answer, but he quickly ran over and tapped on the maid's acupoints.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWithin a blink of an eye, the maid's body trembled for a bit, and then she lost control of
moving her body.
Her eyes showed how scared she was. The acupoints which Ambrose had tapped were to
disallow the maid from talking and moving, but the maid was still conscious.
He slowly held the baby in his arms and said to the maid, "Don't worry. The acupoints will
be unlocked after four hours. I'm not going to kill you. Once you can move, pass a
message to your Empress. Tell her to send a girl named Heather to a deserted island
twenty miles away southeast.
"Let me make it clear. I don't want to hurt the baby, so the Empress should not try to do
anything phony. Is that clear? Blink if you understand."
The maid was in great horror as she blinked immediately.
Since the maid cooperated very well, Ambrose said nothing else, wrapped the baby in a
small blanket, and tied it to his body. Then, he ran out of the bedchamber.
Neil waited impatiently outside. When he finally saw Ambrose, he was relieved. He urged,
"Ambrose. Hurry, the sun is almost out. Let's go."
Ambrose nodded and quickly headed toward the seaside with Neil covering him. Then,
with a blink of an eye, they both disappeared into the night sky.
