“Are you targeting me for the Walters?”

The question hung in the air.

For the first time since entering, Chris moved.

Not forward.

Not aggressively.

Just… enough.

Enough to make Lenin feel it.

That suffocating shift in the room. That invisible weight pressing down on his lungs.

Chris tilted his head slightly, as if considering the question.

Then---

A soft chuckle.

Low.

Cold.

Devoid of warmth.

“The Walters?” Chris repeated, almost amused.

A pause.

Then his gaze settled on Lenin… no, through him.

  • Never to look back   Because immortality was never his goal… what he wants is to protect what he has…

    “What does that petal do?” Chris Jnr tilted his head as he looked at Chris curiously.“It cleanses the impurities in the blood.”“Why do we have impurities in our blood?” Emm asked blinking her beautiful big eyes, “Were we poisoned?”Chris shook his head, “Everyone has impurities in their blood. Cultivators spend years and years, tempering their bodies, purging their blood and body of impurities.”“Just like geniuses in this world, among cultivators there are also those blessed with extraordinary gifts and abilities.”“If everyone has impurities in their blood, then why is it that some people can cultivate? Why did you cleanse us?” Chris Jnr scrunched up his face.“Because those who have an affinity for cultivation, they have a spiritual root.”“Do we---?” The duo asked in unison but bit their lips, hesitating.Chris shook his head. Then after a pause, he spoke, “Not having a spiritual root does not mean you cannot cultivate. It simply means your achievements may not be the same, or yo

  • Never to look back   Do you think his stories are doing me any favour?

    The battle was far from over… Chris knew the moment he heard his treasures chatter. They knew what was important… their grievance would have to wait for another day.Chris carried the duo with ease as he descended the stairs.Hendrick was still waiting at the foot with a childish resentful pout. He stood sulking after being ignored by two treasures.Chris Jnr. and Emm slowly lifted their heads, once their hearts calmed and finished giving their father an update on everything that happened from the moment they left his presence.“Oh no…” Emm smacked the back of her head and whispered softly to Chris Jnr, “Senior First Uncle is upset.”Chris Jnr raised his head further to search for Hendrick. He smiled sheepishly as his gaze met that of a sulking Hendrick.“Senior First Uncle” The duo called out sweetly in unison, smiling cutely, their dimples on full display. Even though they were young, they knew, cuteness conquers all.Their gamble was on the money.Hendrick’s lips curled up as he wal

  • Never to look back   Daddy, you are not off the hook yet!

    “Uncles, follow us... we will take you to daddy’s place.” Chris Jnr and Emm led the way giggling.They led everyone to the adjacent villa and left them to settle before going back to check on mommy.Emile was still sleeping. They tiptoed to the kitchen.“Can we call eldest brother?” Emm asked softly as they prepared a fruit bowl.“Mm” Chris Jnr nodded after a minute.They took the snack tray to the lounge area before excitedly calling Marcus.“Eldest brother.” Emm called out sweetly as soon as Marcus picked up the call.“Little treasure…” Marcus’s voice sounded anxious. “Are you two safe?” He had answered on the first ring.“Mm” Both let out muffled, unhappy hums.“Is the mission over?”“No.” They answered in unison. Emm added after a beat, “Daddy tricked us… he didn’t take us.”Marcus’s lips curled up slightly. So, it wasn’t only him that got left behind.“How are the others?” Chris Jnr asked trying to sound casual.“Everyone is fine.” Marcus answered before little baby pulled the pho

  • Never to look back   If anything happens to our little siblings, we won’t even have anywhere to go crying.

    Earlier-Chris Jnr and Emm sat sulking at the edge of the airfield where the Night Empire soldiers had left them before rushing off for their mission.“Hymph! Daddy lied to us… Hymph!” Emm puffed up her cheeks as she crossed her arms.“Daddy never promised to take us along.” Chris Jnr protested weakly. He was feeling resentful as well but that was no reason to accuse his daddy unjustly… even if it was his little treasure.“Hymph! I don’t care… I said I am going… then I am going…” Emm turned her face angrily. She knew she was being unreasonable… but she was still angry.Chris Jnr sat quietly beside their firecracker.After a quiet beat, he asked cautiously, “Do you think we should check on mommy?”Emm sat up straight, her eyes widening, “Mommy is here?”“Mm” Chris Jnr nodded as he took out a small pebble and crushed it saying, “This is what daddy’s Master sent us a few minutes ago in hurry.”As soon as the pebble crushed, Chris’s master’s voice sounded, “Big treasure, little treasure, m

  • Never to look back   He dared to set his sights on what the Night Lord protects… let him pay the price.

    The aftermath was cruel, yet neither Chris nor his men felt even a shred of sympathy. They had seen the plight of the children wrapped in cloths that were handed to them. They were not foolish enough to believe that this was the extent of it…… the ones they didn’t know about could be an astronomical number over the years.“Form a defensive ring. Keep Night Wing, Night Rider, and Night Blade in the centre.”Chris’s men transformed their formation the minute they received their orders. Night Wing, Night Rider and Night Blade knew that they couldn’t help any further and crouched down in the centre, making the protective circle more efficient.The leader of the evil cultivators couldn’t take it lying down. He looked around at his men and felt his body burn with rage, not that he had any loyalty towards them. In the grand scheme of things, they would eventually become nourishment for his cultivation, but that was his decision to make. How could he accept his years of planning and cultivatio

  • Never to look back   He left me here to clean up trash.

    Chris and Hendrick spread their arms, concentrating on the door. Slowly, a forcefield entwined with silvery blue and serene blue emerged, enveloping the edges of the door. Once the door was fully sealed within their forcefield, they slammed their palms together. A sharp clap rang out, instantly swallowed by the explosive boom of the door being blasted open.Night Wing, Night Rider, and Night Blade didn’t waste a second; they propelled themselves toward the centre. Even before they reached the centre, they felt an overwhelming suction force pulling at them… but the moment it neared them, the force ricocheted away from their capes.A muffled cough arose from a dark corner of the room, followed by the smell of blood.However, none of this distracted the trio. They had a mission… their boss’s order.Somewhere within the darkness, two beady eyes narrowed, “Strange… they do not have spiritual energy. How are they deflecting the attacks that are meant to cripple their core?”Night Wing spotte
