A Relentless Pursuit for Love
Chapter 300

Chapter 300 Even though Sage found that Kane's present was a little out of the place, Sage wasquite fond of the crossbow.

Kane was always a fan for weapons and tools. When Sage just turned four and was able to holdthings properly in her hands, Kane put a gun in her hand at her birthday party. Sage recalled that atthat moment, the air grew cold immediately. Now that twenty years passed, Kane still gave her toolsas gifts. However, the crossbow was much more useful than being given a gun. “Don’tunderestimate this crossbow. It looks like a slingshot but it works like a gun.”

Kane then started to teach Sage how to use the crossbow. “You just have to press here. If you wantto prank people, you can put toothpicks in here; but if someone angers or annoys you, you can putneedles in here. It can pierce through their flesh perfectly.”

Kane and Sage were fumbling with the crossbow whereas the rest of the gang slowly moved awayas they did not want to be caught in the crossfire.

Sage quickly understood how the crossbow worked. Picking up a toothpick and placing it into theslot, Sage aimed at a bottle of drink on the table and pulled the trigger.

The bottle was pierced through and liquid started seeping through the hole.

Seth, Nigel, and Luther instinctively took a step backward. Based on their past painful and terrifyingexperiences, it was best for them to stay away from Sage and Kane if they want to live a few yearslonger. “So? Not bad, right?” Kane looked pleased. Sage put down the crossbow and studied itcarefully in her hand. It was small and delicate and was easy to bring around too. Sage noddedhappily, “Yeah, it's good. I like it, thanks, Kane!” “No worries.”

Kane tugged at the corners of his lips. At the sight of the table full of food, his eyes lit up. “Did youmake all these? When can we start eating? I'm dying of hunger!”

Sage then kept, then put away the crossbow and replied, “We can start, but let me go check on thesoup, then we can start eating.” Right then, Jim walked out of the kitchen with a tray of bowls ofsoup. “Sage, are we starting dinner?” Sage nodded, “Yeap.” Noticing that Sage wore the necklace hegave her, Jim beamed, “Alrighty, I'll bring out the cake now.” Taking a glimpse at Jim, Nigel asked,“I've been meaning to ask who that handsome young lad

is.

Sage only then realized that she was yet to introduce them to each other. Patting Jim on hisshoulder, she smiled, “This is Myles's apprentice, Jim Sylas. He is a basketball player. Be nice

to him, okay? Don't make it difficult for him.”

Blushing, Jim greeted the gang. Nigel teased, “Woah, aren't you Myles’ master? Since when did youbecome a grand-master huh? Aren't you moving up the ladder too fast?” “Whatever you say, Nigel.Anyway, don't you even think of trying to take advantage of my apprentice.”

Sage shot a warning glare at her brothers then said to Jim, “Pay no mind to their words, it's just howthey talk, they don’t mean no harm. Anyway, since they are not related to the Damian family, youcan just address them casually.” Jim nodded obediently. “You guys should go ahead and starteating. I'll go get the cake.” ;

As soon as Jim left, Nigel gave an eye to Sage. “Look at you protecting him!"

Sage replied, “Well, of course. I won't let you nasty people bully my kid.” “Fine, fine, we won't.” Nigelopened up a bottle of red wine and Sage started pouring them into her brothers’ wine glasses.Taking off his wet outer coat, Kane asked, “Is big brother not coming?”

“Don't think so,” replied Sage, “I talked to him on the phone this morning. He's in the middle ofsomething and won't be able to make it.”

Luther wrinkled his nose. “It's just an excuse that he uses. He doesn’t want to meet the rest of us,does he? He only wants to meet with you alone. He only sees you as his sibling whereas the rest ofus just come with the package.” Nigel retorted, “Nah, I don't think that we come with the package.We might be picked up from the dumpster.”

Seth smiled lovingly and said, “There now. Let's not blame him, shall we? He never really enjoyedcrowds, did he? I'm worried that he would turn this gathering into a meeting.” . “Exactly. It doesn'tmatter if he’s not here, what matters is his gift. Did you get a gift from him?” Kane asked. Nodding,Sage replied, “I did.”

What is it?” The brothers all had their eyes fixed on Sage with curiousness written all over theirfaces. Sage replied, “An island.”

The four brothers had their lips pressed tightly together as they exchanged looks with each other.Raising their glasses at the same time, they cheered, “Come on, let's drink.” Sage could not help butburst into laughter seeing how her brothers were looking jealous. Her eldest brother always made itobvious that Sage was his favorite. The rest were always unhappy with it but they could not bringthemselves to say anything.
