Chris had just sent Little treasure and the rest of when his satellite phone beeped. It was a tone unique for messages from his treasures. He picked up the phone with a smile as he thought it was Little treasure urging him to work hard. His lips curled up further as he read the message; it wasn’t from Little treasure. It read-

‘Daddy, the empress is on her own. I am not responsible if anything happens to your spoilt empress. I am busy.’ – Big treasure.

He turned to nod towards Night Wing before

  • Never to look back   You should be the bigger man and be magnanimous

    Once all four were finished, and they had come down from the platform, Chris’s master waved his hand. The spirit stone disappeared.He stood up and chanted as he levitated. Golden runes appeared, encircling the high platform. They extended all the way to the heavens... or at least it looked that way. They remained for nearly a minute before disappearing. In their place sat a large pure white jade disc, almost covering the entire surface of the platform.“You can place all four of them, if you want to test their constitution.” Chris’s master’s voice boomed from high above.Chris Jnr and Emm took their siblings and were about to place them but feeling the coldness from the jade they hesitated; Chris Jnr turned to Chris’s master, “Master Grandpa, can you put a carpet on this… it is very cold.”Chris’s master’s lips twitched.“They will be fine… they won’t be cold.” Chris knelt to their height and coaxed. “Do you trust daddy?”“Mm” there was no hesitation in their voices.“Then listen to

  • Never to look back   Stinky baby, you didn’t give your old man any face...

    Preparations for the hundred-day ceremony had long since been completed by Chris's master and Hendrick.There were no outsiders, only family and those they considered family: the Walters, Burkes, Hua Yueren, Bai-Min, Lai-Li, Neil, Adrian, his wife Iris, and their son Jonah.The day started like any other... well, perhaps not quite like any other day. How often did the Walter and Burke Clans board Chris's Night Empire jets and head for an unmarked island?Even after they disembarked from the jet, their anticipation didn't fade, it only grew stronger. The adults' enthusiasm perhaps carried a hint of anxiety if one looked closely, but no one seemed any wiser.Marcus carried one of the babies while the oldest, Big Treasure, walked beside him. Little Treasure followed close behind, and Philip brought up the rear carrying the remaining babies as they headed toward Master's cottage.Emile looked at the responsible little people before her and giggled as she whispered to Chris, “We really don

  • Never to look back   Opportunity knocks but only once… the choice, that is also destiny

    In the evening, the Burkes came over as usual, the only difference from usual was this time, they were all in attendance, from the oldest Matthias to the youngest, Liam.This time round, the explanations went smoothly, perhaps practice makes perfect… or having your family backing you … makes your spine straighter even if you are speaking about the impossible… who knows!The reaction of the Burkes was no different from that of the Walters… with the exception of Matthias.“First uncle, you don’t seem surprised.” Emile giggled as her gaze skirted over her cousins dumb founded expression before settling on Matthias who seemed to have taken the news in a stride.“The world is vast and wide…” Matthias shrugged, “And who says that the old must be extinct before a new world can emerge?”“True…” Everett nodded as he sank into contemplation. He wasn’t cataloguing but reviewing everything he had ever read or known about his family history. His eyes narrowed as he remembered the information he had

  • Never to look back   No secrets between family...

    He went on to explain everything about their ancestry… the legend of the cultivator world, their ancestor and the prophecy.“The lightning that day…. The sky….” Thomas asked, his eyes widening in enlightenment.Chris nodded.“No wonder you guys looked like you had finished a battle with the heavens.” Eric too nodded with a rare solemn expression.No one spoke after this, not because they had nothing to ask, but because they didn't know what to ask.Unlike other families, their concerns weren't about power or talent. Nor were they concerned with why they had missed out.Their concern was simple:How do we protect them?“In the cultivation world, there is a ceremony for newborns on their hundredth day. It is mainly to check their foundation and if they have the innate ability to cultivate.”“I was thinking of having their christening afterwards so that I can name them according to that…” He paused, “For cultivators, names mean much more than just a name… it is a reminder, a restraint and

  • Never to look back   I knew that basement room wasn't normal...

    Time flew by and, in the blink of an eye, three months had already passed. One weekend afternoon, as they sat chatting together, Elizabeth suddenly looked around anxiously.“We haven’t christened the little ones.”Everyone paused. They had all been wrapped up in the little ones’ bright smiles and liveliness that they had forgotten. They all turned their gazes towards their omnipotent youngest son and little brother. Moments later, those blank expressions slowly transformed into confusion, carrying the same question.‘How could you forget something so important?’Chris chuckled, wearing his usual carefree manner, as though everything was under control, as always.“No hurry… there’s plenty of time. We can plan slowly.”“I don’t believe you forgot.” Adam shook his head; his confusion only lasted for a few seconds. He knew his youngest son best. In his plans, there was never a misstep nor a moment of miscalculation.He stared at his son for a while before narrowing his eyes. His voice turn

  • Never to look back   You really are the monkey king

    The next morning as everyone gathered at the breakfast table, Chris Jnr and Emm tried their luck once again, “Daddy, looking at how pitifully our little siblings were crying, can we shift to home schooling?”“We will not fall behind on our schoolwork.” Emm added with a face full of sincerity.All of the Walters, with the exception of Thomas and Angel, were in attendance; they had returned home the previous day because Thomas had to travel for a work case the following day. They all looked towards Chris with curiosity, Everett included.“Nice try... no...” Chris didn’t even have to think.“But they…” Emm pouted pitifully, “Daddy, can you bear to see them crying so pitifully?”“Why not?” Chris chuckled, “we might even add some opera singers to the mix of Walter talents.”Laughter erupted around the table except from three people. Two looked like withered eggplants, while one remained completely serious in solidarity with his treasures' plight.After a beat, he puffed up his tiny chest an

    Matthias continued with his narration once the ruckus caused by Harry quietened down. “My attention was alerted towards their affairs only when I received a call from Uncle Harvey requesting to arrange a confidential meeting under the guise of an extravagant banquet or some excuse to divert attentio

    “Wife, let me go and get you some coffee.” Chris offered around 9:45 am seeing his wife and her assistant run off their feet with the finishing touches of an order that was due for delivery around mid-day today. “Um” Emile nodded without lifting her head as she kept working on perfecting the design

    “We were never in the same league…Heh!” Michelle muttered under breath with a self-derogatory sneer as she watched Emile’s back disappearing at the end of the corridor. “Madam, shall we?” Natalie pretended not to hear her and smiled politely. “Yes… sorry, I was lost in thought.” Michelle lowered her
