Emile’s eyes followed her husband as he disappeared into one of the huts near Master’s hut. Although she was carefree and unbothered most of the time, she was no fool. She had seen the worry on her husband’s face from the time her children were born. She had watched that worry deepen when the children touched the spiritual stone, even as both masters bubbled with joy. The only time there was a faint smile or relief in his eyes was when they chose the hammock.She wanted to ask him before, but she knew he didn’t want to worry her… she was happy to be his silly wife… but now… not so much… She didn’t want him to shoulder everything alone... she wanted to be his strength... his solace... his anchor whenever he grew weary. She decided to ask him when they got home and turned her attention to her family who were studiously listening to Hendrick’s instructions.The only exception was her terrors!She walked up to them with a smile, “Why aren’t you two joining in?”“This is stuff we learned be
Chris turned to his master, “Senior first brother should be able to guide right?”Chris’s master raised an eyebrow before nodding as he remembered his previous conversation with Chris.Eric and Aldrin ran up to Hendrick and threw an arm around his shoulders from either side as they asked, “When do we start? How do we start?”“By taking your hands off my shoulders.” Hendrick smirked as he slithered out of their hands. He ran a few feet away before asking Chris, “Let me guess, this is your fifth brother and fifth brother-in-law?”“Bingo” Chris chuckled.“Master, are you taking revenge on me?” Hendrick cried out as he sat on the ground without the slightest concern for his image or the audience standing around him.“Don’t get too worked up because of our talent.” Aldrin shrugged with a chuckle, “we will pretend to be talentless.” It was as though he and Eric were competing for the title of the one with the thickest skin.Hendrick sat on the ground with a face that read that he had nothing
“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
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
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’
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
“This was the beginning of my second brother’s nightmare…. A nightmare that lasted 21 years.” Eric sighed regretfully as the video reached its end. Showmanship was his forte and he didn’t disappoint one bit. The tempo of his speech and release of information couldn’t be more perfect; it captured the
Sheryl wandered around the streets like a lost soul in a daze after she left the reception venue; she struggled with every ounce of her willpower to hold it together till she sent Grandpa Walter off. She had no idea how she had reached this stage. She had planned every step meticulously; done everyt
Darcy’s shamelessness didn’t end there. He kicked his son whom he had been sticking to like plaster since knowing he was his and Grace’s son. “Dad, how shameless can you be?” Marcus twisted his lips in disdain. “What face?? If I can be with your mother, what face? I wouldn’t even care about my life.
Everyone dispersed to their rooms shortly after the elders left. The east wing of the house was occupied by Micheal’s family, the west wing reserved for Dorothy’s family, north wing was reserved for Adam’s family and south wing for Rebecca’s family. In the middle of the night, a dark slender figure
