“Daddy’s got double standards.” Emm pouted as she folded her arms across her chest. Chris Jnr too nodded his head in agreement and explained looking at the clueless face of both his parents “Daddy said that a man should have principles that he should live by, but every time mommy throws a tantrum, daddy seems to forget that he is a man.”“Puchi….” Emile burst out giggling… she couldn’t hold it in… their kids were too cute.“How is this double standard?” Chris shrugged as he opened his palms upward in a matter-of-fact gesture.“When we ask daddy to break his principles and not punish us, he never succumbs but mommy doesn’t even need to ask, she only needs to look, and daddy back peddles faster than a super-fast jet.” Both Chris Jnr and Emm spoke in unison as though they have had this conversation a million times in their head.“Puchi….” Emile bend over laughing clutching her tummy; looks like their little ones had a huge grievance. They even completed a long sentence in unison without e
It didn’t take Chris long to cover thousands of miles as he arrived at his master’s island. He stood on the tallest treetop as he observed the island. There was nothing out of the ordinary, but he knew Night Mage’s ability. If he noted fluctuations in energy, then there was someone or something that intruded without permission… but who and why couldn’t he sense them?There was only one answer for why he couldn’t sense them, but he didn’t want that answer to be correct. How could he still protect his master’s abode?He remembered that his master had told him that the only time they wouldn’t be able to see through the other parties’ movements and cultivation is when they are levels above them.Even if he didn’t have the confidence to win, he couldn’t sit waiting for his master’s haven to be destroyed; he decided to take a closer look and edged closer.‘SHISH…” an arrow cut through the air and struck an inch away from his ear; Chris froze, he didn’t even sense the arrow till it was too la
Inside Master’s room, Chris obediently sat cross legged on the mat opposite the one that master habitually sat on; no one else entered. Master too sat cross legged as he swept Chris’s body with his spiritual sense.Outside, Spectra, who had become more familiar with Hendrick whispered, “How big a trouble is Boss in?”“Bucket loads.” Hendrick smirked before turning to Spector “Shouldn’t you be reporting back? See how much trouble you caused my junior brother?”“I…. I …” Spector misunderstood the meaning of Hendrick’s words, taking the literal meaning and blurted while stuttering “I never knew Master would be so fierce.”Although Spector and Spectra were originally master’s disciples, they had just entered the inner sect when Master decided to leave, to enter the next plane with all the inner sect disciples and had not interacted much with master and was unaware of his temperament. They only saw the amiable, calm and composed sect master façade that was displayed in front of everyone.“
He pulled Spectra and Spector into his protection and flew a few meters away before stopping and watching the scene that was unfolding before his eyes. He shook his head in disbelief as he muttered “They are crazy.”The wise ones heeded Hendrick’s advice and took cover; the silly, more curious ones were all pushed back and vomited a mouthful of blood as thunder and lightening struck one after the other. They used all their remaining strength to crawl to a safe space before the next round.Thunder and lightening fired down at the hut almost splitting it into two halves and yet didn’t have any intention of slowing down. It struck down in righteous vengeance and with due reason. Someone had cheated the heavens to level up; it didn’t matter if they had paid the price previously and not levelled up. This was not a tavern to keep tabs!Hendrick used his spiritual sense to look into the room as amidst the smoke and dust from the hut splitting into two, no one could see a thing. He heaved a si
Chris didn’t waste time arguing with his master; he knew that he wouldn't be able to change his master's mind once he decided on something. He decided to finish his tasks quickly and come back to spend some time with his master. He returned back to his villa in no time. By the time Chris returned, not only was all the arrangements for the dinner completed, but also all his brothers and sisters were in attendance.“Where did you go off to?” Eric was the first to see Chris who was walking down from the stairs leading down into the house from the rooftop.“A short errand.” Chris shrugged as he reached the group “Let’s eat first, the kids must be hungry. I am sorry to keep you all waiting.”“What nonsense?” Mark chided while Darcy wasn’t polite, he slapped the back of Chris’s head gently “What a load of nonsense…”Dinner was noisy as always; the chatter of adults and the laughter of kids filled the house. Emile smiled peacefully as she looked around her before looking at the man beside her
Mark did as Chris asked him; he got John to prepare a transfer of share agreement with 2.5% shares transferred back to Adam once he signed the transfer agreement that Adam had left him.The others quietly packed their bags, left their house dressed as shadow guards and returned to Chris’s villa while the shadow guards replaced them. The kids had slept off at Chris’s place after dinner, making it much easier for the adults to slip off as guards.“Boss, everything is set.” Night Wing reported as Chris was sitting with his siblings chatting casually.“Get the others to have some rest. We will set off at 03:00 hours.”Night Wing nodded and left the room to relay boss’s orders.“Why not just set off?” Eric asked sloppily “Aren’t we all here?”“Why go through the trouble of getting your doubles ready if we were going to set off in broad daylight?” Chris rolled his eyes; he didn’t want to admit that this was his brother.“But won’t the whoever who is so interested in our lives know even if we
The next morning, Michael walked into the dining room humming a song. He was finally free from the shackles of marriage to that self-righteous witch. He really didn’t think that his usually submissive wife would actually promptly call him from the registry of marriage and divorce to file a petition for mutual divorce. The whole application process took less than the time it took to make a cup of tea.Michael didn’t have any objections as neither his wife nor his son wanted a division of property nor any other assets from him. They both went through the application process amiably and was told by the solicitor that it would take about 4 months for finalization considering how straightforward the process was and the fact that there were no disputes requiring resolution.“Why are you so happy today?” Grandma Walter asked with an affectionate smile, looking at the blissful expression on her son’s face.Both Silas and Grandpa Walter, who were already seated at the table having breakfast lif
Grandpa Walter, Michael and Silas were dressed in power suits commanding the respect and attention of everyone they meet. They walked into the meeting room in unison as a show of power, in an attempt to intimidate everyone. However, to their utter disappointment, there was no one in the meeting room.They looked at each other in confusion before Silas turned towards his assistant “Where’s everyone?”“They are on their way.”Silas frowned in annoyance as he sat on the left side of his grandfather who took the central seat; Michael didn’t have much of an existence even though he was sitting on the right side of his father.“Keep an eye on the person who bought the shares from the military.” Grandpa Walter instructed his son (grandson) in a low voice as he kept his eye on the door. “See if you can take down those shares.”“Will we have enough funds once we take down the rest of the shares?” Silas asked in concern; right now, his major concern was taking down the lion’s share of the shares
