“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.“If I know the devil….” The young officer who was also the team leader paused before clarifying himself “I mean the youngest master of the Walter clan… which sadly, I do….” he feigned a regretfully expression before continuing “he is not that bored; he never speaks or does anything for verbality. My bet is that the show today was not for us…” he shrugged “we were just unexpected performers in the orchestration of their grand theatrics.”“Huh? The show was not for us??” one of the other officers asked as he scratched the back of his head, confusion dancing in his eyes.The young officer shook his head, his eyes narrowed in calculation “They have all the evidence they need. The meeting today
Grandma Wren came back after one of her social parties in a foul mood and was about to head to her room as usual when she noticed that her husband, son and grandson were all seated in the lounge area, which was contrary to usual. She changed the directions of her steps and walked up to them.“Why are you all home early?”“Gone…. Everything’s gone….” Rufus was still muttering without registering Grandma Wren’s presence.“What’s gone?” Grandma Wren knitted her brows as she turned to her son and then grandson as she knew she wasn’t going to get an answer from her son.“Grandma, we are about to lose everything.” Silas sighed as he slumped back on the sofa. Grandma was here… she would look after grandpa; he could relax now.“What do you mean?” Confusion danced in Grandma Wren’s eyes “Were you not able to outbid the bid for those shares?”“Grandma, who is Bridgette?” Silas asked without answering Grandma’s question.“Why mention that bitch?” Grandma Wren twisted her lips in disdain “She is t
Three days ago-The Walter siblings had gathered at Chris’s place as planned and sat chatting in a relaxed manner after they knew that they would only be leaving at 3:00 am, only the kids below the age of ten were forcefully sent to sleep at their normal bedtime; the rest were free to do what they wanted much to Chris Jnr and Emm’s resentment. All the negotiation terms that they had prepared were blown with the wind with a single word from the Empress as Emm would put it.“Little brother, why did you want us to buy their properties?” Darcy asked once the chatter turned to serious business. "Most of them are pretty vulgar in appearance....ugh....." He made a gesture to show how revolting their aesthetic sense was!“Because I don’t want them to be left with anything they earned with the life of my great grandfather and the happiness and tribulations of my grandmother and maternal granduncle.” Chris narrowed his eyes, his jawline tightened as he grinded his teeth in hatred.“Little brothe
Everyone boarded the flight once the excitement died down. The seating was similar to a standard flight, maybe even better.“How come the one I took last time was different?” Lorenzo pouted as he thought of the rough ride he took last time.“Last time, our Lord was on a mission.” Night Wing was the one who spoke; he shrugged “Whereas this time, our Lord is taking a leisure trip with his family.”Lorenzo childishly made sarcastic taunting face at Night Wing as he puffed his chest and sat down like a resentful child. Nola could only shake her head helplessly as she watched her husband’s childish behaviour. Luckily the kids were fast asleep and did not have to witness their father’s shameless look.“Little brother, why is this aircraft parked in the basement?” Darcy knitted his brows once the excitement died down and he thought of the crucial matter “How can we take off from here?”“That’s why I said this is not your regular ride.” Chris smiled calmly as he secured the pods that appeared
After travelling in the depths of the ocean for about 4-5 hours, the aircraft rose towards the surface of the ocean increasing its speed and surfaced in the blink of eye, before anyone could notice a change on the surface of the ocean where the aircraft left the ocean and started to ascend into the skies above. What no one realized was that the aircraft was invisible with a cloaking device that was even impenetrable to the infra-red scanning device.The course of the aircraft was straightforward as with every overt journey that the Night Empire aircraft undertakes, the destination was the Bermuda Triangle. The aircraft would inactivate the cloaking device once it reached the Bermuda Triangle and change course to head towards its destination; thus, the mystery surrounding the location of the Night Empire.“Very clever” Thomas smirked as soon as he realized what was happening. Although Mark and Darcy didn’t comment, the proud arc of their lips spoke volumes.“What’s clever?” Eric asked a
Chris stood up from his seat once Night Wing and Night Rider returned after sending off the president. Once the door of the aircraft closed, the capsule was retracted, and Chris walked towards the seating area.“Little uncle, could you not hear us? Are you sure ‘coz we could hear you.” Marcus asked curiously and continued as he saw Chris shaking his head “Can I test to see how it works?”Mark and Darcy too followed Marcus to the front to test the capsule, while Chris nodded towards Night Wing as he took a seat snuggling with his wife.“Make as much noise as you want.” Night Wing winked at Chris Jnr and pressed the button to release the capsule bubble to encompass the back of the plane.To Mark, Darcy and Marcus’s astonishment, everyone behind the capsule had vanished into thin air let alone sound being heard. However, the ones inside the capsule who were screaming their hearts out loud, started laughing their head out as they saw their most powerful eldest uncle, second uncle and eldes
Master came and left in a hurry, once he greeted Chris and the rest. He left one of the disciples to show Chris and the others to their little huts.Adam was itching to introduce his kids to his friends, but he had to wait till they were taken over to the place they were staying.“This is my family.” Adam introduced with a proud smile once the disciple left behind by master took them to the compound that they would be living in for the next 3 days, without waiting for them to go over to their individual huts and settle down.The compound they were taken to had eight independent huts; this and the adjacent ones were the compounds dedicated to visitors and guests.“You’ve all met Uncle Lincoln.”“Hello Uncle Lincoln” Mark and his siblings greeted warmly.“Hello Grandpa Lincoln.” Marcus and his siblings greeted.“Good…good….good…” Lincoln laughed happily as he nodded towards them. It was truly a joy seeing all of them together.“This is Uncle Min and Uncle Shenyang.” Adam introduced the o
The emotions from a reunion after 45 long years of separation was not something that could be settled with a hug. Mark and his siblings sat quietly, watching from the sidelines while their father settled his untold grievances and longing.“Mom, this is the first born of your grandchildren” Adam introduced Mark and Angel in a nasal voice once he calmed down from his initial shock “We, my wife and I, named him Mark Harvey Walter and Angel Bridgette Walter.”Bridgette had a gentle smile as she looked at her grandchildren who were fully grown men. A sense of loss flashed past her eyes, she would never get the chance to spoil and pamper them, she had missed out on their childhood.Adam: “This is Mark’s better half, Sarah Moorefields and these are your great grandchildren, Miles, Melody and Max.”Adam turned to Thomas “This is Thomas Benton, Angel’s prince charming and their little ones Penelope, Yvonne and Kevin.”Adam pointed towards Darcy “This is my second born, Darcy Everett Walter and
“This has nothing to do with my daddy. We are the ones who bought our mommy back.” Chris Jnr stood tall as he crossed his arms and looked at Grandpa Holston in anger; Emm, too had the same expression, her face red with anger. If it was another occasion, everyone would have laughed looking at the 1-inch dwarfs who were protecting their daddy behind them. “Great grandpa…. didn’t….” Grandpa Holston couldn’t bear to see the accusatory anger in the eyes of his most precious great grandchildren; he could bear anything; he was ready to bear the curses of the whole world when he decided to close his eyes towards his grandson’s action, but he didn’t factor in his great grandchildren. “You know what you did.” Chris Jnr retorted without giving him any face; his daddy, mommy and little treasure were his bottom line. “I don’t think you want me to glorify it by spelling it out for you.” “Big treasure….” Chris called out, a restraining command in his tone. “Hymph!” Chris Jnr hmphed as he turned
“The old master Holston is here.” The butler announced breaking Chris and Henry’s stalemate, “Can daddy’s big treasure go and play with the others?” Chris asked in a gentle voice. Big treasure pouted, clearly refusing to walk away as he knew what great grandpa was here for. He hesitated for a minute before resolutely shaking his head in refusal and ditching Chris for the first time since he was born and walked over to take a seat on the sofa all by himself, with his head held high and lips pursed stubbornly. Just as Chris was thinking about how to coax big treasure, he heard another set of tiny steps pitter pattering towards him; his heart literally sank as he turned around to face the culprit. He could face almost anything that life throws at him without batting an eyelid except for these two little ancestors…. He was bound to be at loss, every single time. “Is little treasure late?” Emm asked Chris Jnr worriedly, without sparing a glance at her daddy and unreliable mommy. “I hea
The rest of Burkes followed suit without waiting for either Chris or Emile to respond; curiosity had gotten the better of them.Little baby was not stupid. How would he dare question little aunt? He looked over nonchalantly before making a gesture with his meaty fingers to indicate payment.“What do you want?” Both Harry and Addison asked in excitement.“I am very rich for the time being, so I will let Leo choose.” Little baby responded with a smug look and passed the honours to Leo.“Take us all on the trip to the Alps when fifth Uncle Walter is taking them.” Leo didn’t have to think as he told Addison what he wanted.Addison agreed without a second thought and walked back into the room the adults were seated, humming a song only to be despised by his mother, which he totally ignored and sat down happily with a thick skin.The fate of the rest of the Burke brothers were similar; no one was spared. Henry who was complacent looking at the miserable fate of his brothers, got a rude wakeu
“Where are you going?” Henry teased as he caught the little overlord and hurled him in the air.“Put me down.” Bruno frowned, flailing his legs anxiously “I haven’t finished discussing with little uncle.”Everyone laughed as Henry put Bruno down, who promptly ran to Chris, looked up at him curiously, awaiting his decision.“Hur…hur…hur….” Chris chuckled “How would I dare renegade on a promise to our little overlord?”“Then when can we go?” Bruno asked seriously, taking no offense to the title, to him, this was recognition of his ability.“When we get back and whenever you say the word.” Chris never had any qualms indulging his nephews and nieces.“Where are we going?” Leo asked curiously.Bruno looked towards Chris who shrugged “It’s up to to the owner of the reward to decide, I am just the charioteer.”“Then let’s go to the ocean king’s castle.” Bruno didn’t have to think twice to make a decision.Chris “”Everyone burst out laughing, only the little ones looked curiously at Chris.“I
He was smart enough to decipher big treasure's cryptic message that he could find the answer by testing them himself, after sulking for a while, thinking about big treasure’s words over and over again. He rushed to Chris’s room once again, pulled Big Treasure aside and whispered hurriedly before running away. He then ran off to the apartment where the Burkes where resting. He went over to call Leo and Liam to play with him in the backyard with a crafty look in his eyes. All the Burke kids followed Leo and Liam to play, the main intent for the older kids following them was to keep them safe.He turned around to look at Leo with a guilty look in his eyes as he asked cautiously, “Would you stop talking to me if you find out that I landed you in trouble to test you?”“Why do you want to test me?” Leo demanded with a frown.“Because it is very important to me.” Bruno blinked his eyes, lowering his gaze as he whispered, “Like life and death situation that grown-ups talk about.”“Well, in tha
After the excitement died down, everyone decided to go out, sight-seeing, like proper tourists. Adam invited his friends who politely stayed back at the hotel sensing that Adam and the rest had family matters to sort out, to join the group. Just like that, the Burkes, Walters, Adam’s three friends, the two masters, Chris’s senior brother, Bai-Min and Lai-Li set off on their wild-life adventure, that they had booked with one of the tour groups. It goes without saying that the group included Adrian and his little family and Neil who dragged Chiara along with him. What was unexpected was that Emm pulled Amy, Abbey’s assistant to tag along with them. Luckily for Amy, she had Beth who got dragged into the family outing by Marcus to keep her company. Her boss had ditched her without a conscience the minute her ‘knight in shining armour’ appeared. On their return trip, even though they were all chatting, what attracted everyone’s attention was little treasure’s soft cute voice “Daddy, is it
The next morning, everyone was in high spirits without even a trace of the anxiety that passed through; although they were still waiting for an explanation, a closure to whole saga. The breakfast table was lively and cheerful. “Son, tell me is Emile really pregnant?” Elizabeth couldn’t hold herself back anymore. She asked once everyone had settled in the lounge area to relax after breakfast. “Um” Chris nodded although he was displeased inwardly; he wondered if his mother had truly changed or whether she was about to revert to her old ways. “Tell us how you know what was wrong with Little aunt.” Miles piped in from the background, turning everyone’s attention towards big treasure and little treasure, after being signalled by Marcus. He didn’t know why eldest brother wanted him to divert the topic, but he still obeyed. He didn’t always have to know the reason; eldest brother was in charge; he would follow whatever eldest brother asked him to do. “Daddy was too lost. We knew we had to
Outside the room, Chris Jnr finally managed to coax little treasure and sighed in relief. There was nothing he could do about it, his little ears and heart hurt from listening to little treasure’s wails. He would compensate his little brother in other ways. “How is your mommy?” Chris asked once little treasure had been coaxed. “She is fine.” Chris Jnr thought for a minute before answering; his mommy looked fine, she was sleeping peacefully. He leaned forward, close to Chris, gesturing little treasure to come close and whispered with a soft voice “Daddy, I touched a dragon.” “A what?” Little treasure’s eyes widened, surprise mixed with disbelief, reflecting in those adorable eyes. “Um” Chris Jnr nodded with all seriousness in affirmation to little treasure but not before he gestured little treasure to be quiet. “Daddy, are dragons real?” Little treasure leaned even closer as she whispered. “Maybe…” Chris shrugged before closing his eyes and mind linking with the two treasures “Da
“Jnr might be a good option.” Chris’s master slowly opened his mouth once he finished sifting everyone’s faces through his mind.Hua Yueren lifted his eyebrows questioningly.“He has been around her while she was away. Naturally, the apparition although only a figment of Azure’s consciousness, it will still be sharp enough to sense a friend from a foe. Also, since he is her biological son, his spirit must have a lingering smell of her essence.”Hua Yueren nodded; he didn’t have any better solution. They would re-think their plans if this one backfired.Chris’s master transmitted his message to Spector who promptly brought Chris in, in his usual manner of teleportation.Chris Jnr greeted the two masters and stood straight, neither servile nor overbearing, quietly waiting instructions; his demeanour brought a glint of admiration to the eyes for both men.“Son, can you see the apparition surrounding your mother?” Chris’s master knelt beside Chris Jnr so that he could level his gaze with h
