Emile stood watching Chris’s disappearing back; she couldn’t explain why but the lonely back that was etched in despair made her heart ache uncontrollably. She didn’t know how but she knew that the reason he walked away without hesitation was to not make things difficult for her….how she knew… she couldn’t tell… Subconsciously, she raised her hand and pressed it against her chest as she felt the uncontrollable pain.

“What’s wrong?” No one knew when Daniel arrived behind her. He knitted his brows

  • Never to look back   Who exactly is attending to whom?

    Chris was in no hurry to meet the demons roaming freely beneath his watch.He moved through the compound like a passing shadow, silent and cold, searching every corner for lingering cries for help.Only after confirming there were no more children waiting desperately for rescue did he finally turn his attention toward the filth clamouring for death.Halfway through the search, he nearly collided with Hendrick.Chris frowned as he steadied his first senior brother, a man several times older than him, yet somehow lacking even Marcus’s steadiness.“Where are----”“Aren’t I rushing to find you?” Hendrick scratched the back of his head sheepishly. “Your men will skin me alive if I leave you unattended.”Chris rolled his eyes.“Who exactly is attending to whom?” he muttered childishly beneath his breath.Some things never changed.From the moment they met, whether in the past or present, Hendrick possessed an almost supernatural ability to shatter Chris’s calm, indifferent façade within sec

  • Never to look back   The prophecy was never about all descendants.

    A single beat was all it took for Chris’s master to regain his composure. He masked his earlier lapse beneath a façade of mild curiosity as he lifted his teacup leisurely.“You think this whole thing is a setup to uncover the true heir of the Blue-Eyed Dragon Emperor?”Hua Yueren narrowed his eyes, studying his old friend for a long moment before exhaling slowly.“Old friend… is there truly a need for smoke screens between us?”The faint smile on Chris’s master’s lips faltered.“Or,” Hua Yueren continued quietly, “did you already know his lineage?”For the first time since entering the room, Chris’s master fell silent.Then, his shoulders relaxed.“You were always the smarter one.”He leaned back in his chair, sipping his tea as though what he was about to reveal was no more significant than discussing the weather outside.“Of course, I know who my favourite disciple is.”“Then why did you let him go?” Hua Yueren frowned before shaking his head. “This could very well be a trap laid fo

  • Never to look back   Who dares trespass within my territory?

    “Grandpa Hua…”Hua Yueren slowly lifted his head from the scroll in his hands.The relaxed aura around him vanished instantly, replaced by a pressure so serious that even the air in the room seemed to grow heavier.“Do not go anywhere.” He rubbed his forehead before continuing, his tone unusually stern. “Stay in the cottage assigned to you until I return.”Marcus lingered uncertainly for another moment before finally giving up and turning away.He hated disappointing his younger siblings… but the look on Grandpa Hua’s face made it impossible to argue further.Still, curiosity gnawed at him.Mentally, he made a note to sneak back later and take another look at the scroll Grandpa Hua had been studying.“Master…”Lai-Li and Bai-Min called out almost simultaneously after ensuring Marcus was fully out of earshot.Hua Yueren ignored them completely.With a flick of his sleeve, glowing symbols spread across the air one after another as low chants escaped his lips.A translucent barrier bloome

  • Never to look back   They cannot remain like this… can they?

    Night Wing and Night Blade did not participate in the bickering, but their jaws tightened all the same. Their minds were focused on only one thing, returning to their lord.They moved swiftly toward the pre-arranged meeting points. Spector and Spectra had already hypnotised the first batch of children and were leading them toward the auditorium.Chris Jnr and Emm had thoroughly blended in with the children, making the task significantly easier. Kids always trust someone their age more easily compared to unfamiliar adults who are dressed in strange outfits, especially after the ordeal they went through.“Let me…”Night Mage stopped Night Wing and the others just as they were about to carry the children out. Sitting down in meditation, he began chanting while drawing symbols similar to the ones Hendrick and Chris used. Slowly, a black void formed before him. It was nowhere near as large or impressive as theirs, but it was sufficient for the task.Night Vigil and his team were not idle ei

  • Never to look back   I don’t take reckless risks

    Chris stood by the hatch, eyes closed, yet acutely aware of every subtle shift in the air around him.Night Wing stood at his side, as always, silent, ready.Hendrick watched for a moment before stepping closer.As the jet approached the cloaking screen, Chris opened his eyes and gave a slight nod.Night Wing moved immediately, releasing the latch.Chris and Hendrick vanished.The jet continued forward, repeating the same manoeuvres as before… unseen, untracked.“Any sign of trouble, alert me immediately,” Chris said through the mind link, opening the channel to all Night Empire soldiers.“What next?” Hendrick asked as they landed lightly atop a treetop.“Get the rest of the children out.”Hendrick gestured between the two of them.Chris hummed in acknowledgment.Hendrick arched a brow.“We’re not using conventional methods,” Chris added, a faint frown forming. “We don’t have time.”“I thought you didn’t take risks.”“I don’t take reckless risks,” Chris said, a smirk tugging at his lip

  • Never to look back   If they believe they’re the only ones left… who would they fear?

    Far from the peace of Níngjìng Valley, high above uncharted international waters, the Night Lord’s stealth jet glided through the darkness, unseen, untracked.“According to Suk-Ju’s coordinates, we should be close to our destination,” Night Blade’s voice cut through the overhead PA. “But there’s nothing but ocean in sight.”Chris lifted his gaze from his work. Three holographic screens hovered before him, streams of data cascading as his fingers moved faster than the eye could follow.Across the cabin, Hendrick stirred from meditation and rose to his feet. He didn’t speak at first, just stood, stretched slightly, and walked to the window.A beat.Then---“Che.” A smirk tugged at his lips. “If this is their idea of secrecy… I’m disappointed.”Chris exhaled softly, almost amused.“Still the same,” he murmured. “You judge too quickly. Didn’t Master teach us never to underestimate the enemy?”Hendrick glanced back, one brow raised. “And you think too much.”That earned a faint chuckle.“Ma

  • Never to look back   I haven’t had so much excitement since the day I was born.

    Chris’s place became much livelier than the gloom and doom expected from the stress in the week leading up to the court case with the Burke brothers deciding to stay back till the court case was finalized. All they needed to do to implement the change in plans were to make a call. Henry called his f

    Daniel didn’t know how to respond; he looked at them helplessly before speaking in a low voice “I don’t know what Mr Walter told you.” Daniel couldn’t get himself to call Chris as their father… that title was his… he paused as he gathered his thoughts looking at the duo that were red with anger, wi

    The next morning, Chris and Emile were the last ones to wake up and come downstairs. It was a miracle that they slept in this long considering the noise downstairs. Chris Jnr and Emm had woken up in the morning and went for a run as per their norm before crawling back into bed to snuggle with mommy
