Never to look back So that is where the dragon’s heart is hidden…
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
Never to look back Here.... I am king of the jungle.
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
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 A man who will love me and my kids knowing that I will never give him kids of his own.”
The next few weeks passed peacefully for Chris and Emile while the final preparations for the banquet for celebrating the 50th year of the Walter Empire were being completed; No effort or expense was spared in preparing the banquet of the era where all partners regardless of how small or how big the

“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

Chris listened and observed as he moved forward through the trees. The people on the ground didn’t seem to care about the ruffling of leaves on the trees; there was nothing odd about it as they were used to the wind caressing the leaves. In their carelessness, they missed the fact that there was no

“Dring ….Dring…. DRING….” The melody of waves crushing against the rocks was rudely interrupted by the unpleasant ringing. Daniel sat up hugging his head with a confused gaze as he looked around. His body wasn’t feeling great either, aching and sore like that of an old man. Ron too sat up with an an
