The day of Daniel’s court appearance or his doom, rather, arrived without surprise; the outcome was even more predictable. There had never been any real question about the verdict.

Quinton hated losing, it grated on him more than death itself, yet he had still taken on a case destined for failure, a guaranteed stain on his record. His old man owed Senior Mr. Holston, and duty left no room for refusal.

What did come as a surprise, in this entire saga, was the media frenzy. The case drew more cove

And with that, this chapter comes to a quiet close—no grand victories, only the weight of choices and the echoes they leave behind. I owe you all an apology for missing yesterday’s update. Life decided to throw a surprise quest my way, and unfortunately, it didn’t come with a pause button. Thank you for your patience—it truly means more than you know. If this chapter stayed with you—if it felt heavy, or made you pause—then a like 👍, a gem 💎, or a rating ⭐ would mean more than I can say; they help more than you think and may even keep me from disappearing again 😄. Until next time… take care, and don’t wander too far. The story isn’t done with you yet.

  • Never to look back   Talent may open the door, but the path beyond it must be walked by your own feet.

    “Was I?” Chris chuckled, trying to wriggle his way out of it, but neither the Walters nor the Burkes were buying it. Both the Walters and the Burkes nodded.Chris exhaled, before speaking his eyes fixed on the little ancestors, “Chaos spiritual roots are the most powerful… they are like yin and yang co-existing within the same person. The person’s aptitude determines whether they can maintain balance… perfect harmony of yin and yang or whether one overpowers the other.”He chuckled as he added, seeing the concern etched on the faces of the adults, “Our little ones, like fifth brother said, have their priorities set right.”A smile spread across everyone’s faces as the deeper meaning settled in their hearts.“Even if they are pushed…” this time, a genuine smile that carried pride spread across his face, “they will choose the right path, with a balanced heart.”“What did their choices mean?” Vincent asked curiously.“These two…” Chris pointed at the oldest and the youngest, “their choice

  • 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 d

  • 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

    “Tell godmother who bullied you?” Abbey sat hugging Little treasure on the sofa in the lounge setting in her office “Godmother will avenge you.”“Who can bully little treasure?” Emm blinked as she smiled sweetly hugging Abbey “Little treasure is so sweet; how can anyone bear to bully me?”Amy had fo

    Thomas was spot on with his speculation. Silas refused to budge on his stance regarding declaring themselves as bankrupt. Michael threw one tantrum after the other but was ignored and finally succumbed under Silas’s threat that they would break off with him and claim that they had paid off their par

    “Wasn’t that line-up and ruse a bit excessive?” One of the officers twisted his lips in confusion as they walked out of the building.“Yes, I think so too… there was no need for our presence, but I must admit, a good show it was!” the older officer who had a special hobby chuckled rubbing his hands.“
