All Chapters of Never to look back: Chapter 531 - Chapter 540

“Uncles, follow us... we will take you to daddy’s place.” Chris Jnr and Emm led the way giggling.They led everyone to the adjacent villa and left them to settle before going back to check on mommy.Emile was still sleeping. They tiptoed to the kitchen.“Can we call eldest brother?” Emm asked softly as they prepared a fruit bowl.“Mm” Chris Jnr nodded after a minute.They took the snack tray to the lounge area before excitedly calling Marcus.“Eldest brother.” Emm called out sweetly as soon as Marcus picked up the call.“Little treasure…” Marcus’s voice sounded anxious. “Are you two safe?” He had answered on the first ring.“Mm” Both let out muffled, unhappy hums.“Is the mission over?”“No.” They answered in unison. Emm added after a beat, “Daddy tricked us… he didn’t take us.”Marcus’s lips curled up slightly. So, it wasn’t only him that got left behind.“How are the others?” Chris Jnr asked trying to sound casual.“Everyone is fine.” Marcus answered before little baby pulled the pho

“What does that petal do?” Chris Jnr tilted his head as he looked at Chris curiously.“It cleanses the impurities in the blood.”“Why do we have impurities in our blood?” Emm asked blinking her beautiful big eyes, “Were we poisoned?”Chris shook his head, “Everyone has impurities in their blood. Cultivators spend years and years, tempering their bodies, purging their blood and body of impurities.”“Just like geniuses in this world, among cultivators there are also those blessed with extraordinary gifts and abilities.”“If everyone has impurities in their blood, then why is it that some people can cultivate? Why did you cleanse us?” Chris Jnr scrunched up his face.“Because those who have an affinity for cultivation, they have a spiritual root.”“Do we---?” The duo asked in unison but bit their lips, hesitating.Chris shook his head. Then after a pause, he spoke, “Not having a spiritual root does not mean you cannot cultivate. It simply means your achievements may not be the same, or yo

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 ki

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

Inside 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 rub
