LOGINInside the room, Chris’s master looked at Emile with furrowed brows for a minute before turning to Chris, “Do you still have the heavenly snow bean I gave you?”Chris nodded. His master extended his hand.“Can you get it for daddy?” Chris turned to Chris Jnr.Chris Jnr wrinkled his little face, trying to figure out what his daddy was asking.“Remember the rainbow-coloured pills you gave the dragon last time?” Chris’s master kneeled to level his gaze with Chris Jnr.Chris Jnr nodded and was about to run out when Chris called out, “Bring the wooden chest where it is stored.”Emm also followed her brother when she heard Chris asking for the whole chest.“Ideally, we should have gone to the island.” Chris’s master frowned as he looked around at the room. He had no idea what to expect… but he knew for sure that this room and house were not equipped for whatever was coming…“We can reinforce it with spiritual energy...” Hendrick suggested knowing what his master was worried about.Master ru
Neil and Hua Yueren arrived one after the other.“Master you are here?” Neil greeted excitedly.Hua Yueren hummed as he walked forward, his hands clasped together behind his back.Adrian and his little family, who arrived with Neil stood to the side, not wanting to add to the chaos but ready to help if needed.By the time Neil and his master had arrived, Dolly and Anne had the delivery room prepared.Hua Yueren knitted his brows. He still couldn’t shake the concerns raised by his previous conversation with Azure.“Master, is there a problem?” Neil asked in a quiet voice. He didn’t want to attract any attention to them. He could see that Chris wasn’t coping well even without any triggers.Slowly, even though it was midnight, the rest of the Walters and Burkes swaggered in… who informed them? Who knows?? But no one was in the state of mind to pay attention to this mystery.“Where’s Emile?” Elizabeth asked in a whisper after pulling Jeffrey aside.“Madam’s in the room that was prepared f
Just as Chris finished speaking, Night Wing walked in. He bent down and whispered in his ear before handing him an envelope.Chris stared at the report silently.The paper crumpled little by little in his grasp.No one spoke.By the time he finally lowered his hand, fine ash slipped through his fingers into his pocket.The calmness in his expression made the atmosphere even heavier.“The children who survived have either been reunited with their families, are waiting to be transported, or are already on their way home.” Chris updated the others before turning to Mark, “Big brother, can you donate some funds towards the Travel fund that has been set up by our government for these kids?”“Majority of these kids who were taken as a cover come from mediocre or impoverished families.”Mark called his secretary on the spot and gave instructions. Darcy switched on international news as big brother was taking care of matters.The anchor on screen was giving an account of the events that shook
Both Burke and Walter households were in attendance at Chris’s Rose villa even before Chris arrived back.“Everyone’s here.” Chris laughed softly as he gestured that he would return after settling Emile.The kids who were noisily coming up from the basement became even more excited as they saw their parents. They continued their ruckus by sharing their excitement with their parents, presenting their pearls with great care.“Did they really find this?” Eric asked in disbelief as he took the pearl from Diana’s hand.“I found this on my own.” Felicity puffed her cheeks and chest indignantly.“Yes, little thirteen found them all by herself.” Miles added in support. The others too all stopped what they were doing and turned to face Eric as they nodded in support.Eric comically raised his hand in defeat.Chris returned just in time to see his undefeated roguish fifth brother admitting defeat. He chuckled as he joined the group.Once all the excitement died down and the children with the ex
Chris took everyone for a spin to lift the children’s spirits before heading back home. There wasn’t much debate about where they wanted to go. The kids had developed a new interest: diving. It wasn’t just a hobby; they had a secret agenda, to find the Ocean King’s castle.The discovery last time had filled them with awe. They had learned that even if they couldn’t find the Ocean King’s castle, there was always something waiting to be discovered beneath the sea.This time, they were far more familiar with the process and no longer needed guidance. They already knew where the diving equipment was kept. Even before the aircraft, technically an ocean craft, landed on the ocean floor, they had already changed and were eagerly waiting to head out.This time, however, Chris didn’t accompany them. He left the children in the capable hands of his elite soldiers and stayed behind instead. His sleeping beauty was fast asleep, and despite her briefly opening her eyes to tell him to go with the k
“Well said.” Master chuckled as he sat back.Hendrick plopped beside Master as he usually did. Master didn’t think much of it however once Chris sat on the other chair, Master threw a side glance and arched a brow.“Master, other than myself and Hendrick, are there any disciples currently in the mortal realm?” Chris started without any introduction.Master narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. He had been about to dismiss the possibility when something in Chris’s expression made him pause.Silence settled inside the hut.Then he closed his eyes as invisible spiritual veins spread across the globe at light speed. He meditated quietly as the veins gathered information before retracting. Then he opened his eyes. He shook his head, “Everyone other than you two have ascended.”Chris’s frown deepened.“What’s bothering you?” Hendrick didn’t have Master’s patience. He didn’t wait for Chris to speak.“Someone rang Emile imitating her First brother.”“Here?” Hendrick asked in disbelief.Chris nodded
Daniel stood rooted staring at Emile’s disappearing back in disbelief. He couldn’t believe that she didn’t even give him a second glance even though he lowered himself and came to call her back. He didn’t come to his senses for a long time. “Sir, is there something I can help you with?” One of the w
“By the time I arrived at the airport in the morning, Chris Jnr messaged me to say that the meeting was being held at the Royale Lux and asked me if there was a way to spy on the meeting.” “Although I can hack into the surveillance system, I am not confident enough to do it without alerting Uncle Ad
Chris hugged Emile close to him as he whispered coaxing in her ears “I am here”. Emile couldn’t stop trembling as she re-lived her worst nightmare with the perpetrator sitting right in front of her, adding stimulus to her already frail mental state. Neither Emile nor Chris predicted this. Chris rais
Eva couldn’t come up for a reason for why I12 would want to harm their baby; he didn’t seem like someone who hated children, nor did he seem to hate their child. She waited for a week hoping to ask I12 what the reason was, but he never came to visit after she saw him the day she came out of the thea
