The only thought that still niggled in the older man’s mind was what he had forgotten from his master’s teachings. He frowned as he closed his eyes however the heat, he expected to engulf him didn’t arrive nor did the pressure from the rubble around him. He opened his eyes slowly wondering what was wrong with his calculations.

He found himself enveloped a blue bubble and muttered “Bastard…. I still have to be protected by him…” Although he was cursing a peaceful smile spread across his aged face.

The four elites surrounded their lord as they saw him sitting cross legged in meditation, in mid-air hovering over the floor door they used for abseiling down. Although they didn’t know the reason, they knew that their lord would have a reason to keep them in mid-air even though it would make them vulnerable.

Once the explosions were blasted out completely, even before the dust settled, Chris was about to abseil down when he noted that all his men were getting ready to follow by opening the ot

  • Never to look back   I never intended to leave you....

    Lorenzo was still in a daze as he left the briefcase at Chris’s home base and was taken home by Night Rider.“First brother, do you want to stay here or at Master’s place?” Chris asked as he settled the older man on a comfortable couch.“Where are you staying?”“I have unfinished business.”“I will come with you.”“No. You need to rest.”“Are you saying I am old?” The older man jumped up from his chair in anger.Chris circled his index finger, gesturing the older man to turn around and made an inviting gesture. The older man turned around and looked to find himself looking into the mirror on one of the cabinet doors “You……”Chris chuckled mischievously “Somethings never change….” His eyes became distant as he muttered “The only thing missing is master’s booming laughter that usually followed….”“Don’t bring up the old man…. He didn’t even say goodbye…”“Did you leave an address when you ran away?” Chris hooked his eyebrows.“Why didn’t he come looking?” The older man sighed as he sat b

    Lorenzo didn’t stop to relax as he reached home. He rushed to Mark’s place as he messaged the rest to meet him there. Everyone rushed over as soon as they got the message even though some were midway through their dinner. They all knew what Lorenzo was up to these days; they also knew that he wouldn’t be back before the end of next week. There could only be one reason for him to rush back- Trouble!No one thought of the other possibility that Lorenzo was way over his depths in excitement…“What’s going on?” Mark asked as soon as Vincent walked in.Everyone was already seated and waiting for him.“You are not going to believe what I have to say.” Vincent gulped down the scotch poured for him in one gulp.“Yes…. you have never tasted failure…. It is hard to believe…” Eric smirked before asking “Do you want a hand?”“What are you talking about?” Lorenzo turned to look at Eric with a confused gaze.“Why did you call us?” Mark decided to intervene before the two started bickering; this was

    Chris’s team set off to Korea as planned without stopping to catch his breath once he had settled Hendrick. It was more like after he had received a message from Spector that Hendrick had arrived. He pretended to ignore the sidenote that said he was moping around the place, driving everyone else crazy. Chris was in and out of Korea with his team even before anyone could register his presence. Contrary to his normal practice, this time he didn’t greet the authorities like he normally did. Not because he didn’t have the same respect for the authorities in this country but because his master told him that there are some who can only see black and white, never understand the grey and to them, grey is more daunting and complicated than anything they ever faced. He didn’t want to confuse them; it was his respect towards their understanding of right and wrong that made him go under the radar.The dust from the explosion served as a perfect cover for Lorenzo’s operation as all eyes were on th

    Adam had comfortably settled into his new environment which was totally different from what he had ever experienced. He decided to stay as one of the new disciples rather than being a guest as he found this new world rather intriguing, their lifestyle and attitude towards life was novel and humbling for him.More importantly, given the vast difference from his own lifestyle and the challenges of integrating with the new lifestyle kept him from having time to mope around about his regrets and loss. He didn’t have enough time to breathe let alone think about Elizabeth although if he was honest with himself, he had to confess that under the blanket of the night when everyone relaxed, he still couldn’t stop himself from worrying about her. The only good thing was the activities from the day didn’t leave him awake for long before he would fall asleep.One of Adam’s reservations in choosing to stay as a disciple was his age; he wondered if he would be able to integrate with the younger gener

    Elizabeth on the other hand had a rude wake up call. The day after Adam told her about his intent to divorce her, she went to her so-called friends for advice and help on how to stop the divorce. None of her so-called friends who were full of wisdom and advice on how a rich lady should behave, had any advice for her. They seem to want to avoid her like a plaque once they knew that she would no longer be Mrs Walter.There were also a few ridiculous ones, spinsters and divorcees who asked her about Adam’s preference and hobbies so that they could wriggle their way into his life. She regretted having made friends with such a bunch but there was nothing she could do about the past. She decided to make amends for her ridiculous behaviour and move on considering that Adam had moved on.She wanted to give him her blessing although her heart ached like hell. She had been reflecting on her past ridiculous actions and knew the hell she had put him through, stuck between her and their children.S

    Emile shamelessly stuck to Chris for the whole day like a sticky candy; she had missed him terribly as it they had never been separated since the kids were born. She didn’t care how her sisters-in laws teased her; it didn’t make any difference on her shameless behaviour. Although the others teased Emile, they followed her lead and stuck to their husband much to the dismay of the men as they had things to discuss.“Why don’t you go and relax for an hour or so before you leave?” Henry coaxed his little Pearl as he knew the others would follow if she left.“What do you want to discuss without me?” Emile pouted as she crossed her arms resentfully “I am sitting right here with my husband.”“Let’s talk…” Chris nodded helplessly; he didn’t want the waterworks to follow.“Do you want us to leave?” Mark asked, realizing that the Burke brothers had something they needed to discuss with Chris.“Not really….” Chris shrugged “I would eventually update you….” Chris paused with a mischievous smirk “j

    “I just wanted to know how strong or weak his loyalty would be…” Chris shrugged as he explained, “Not a must, I can always find other avenues. He is not a must in the plan… just a nice to have…. But I don’t like to have unpredictable variables.”“Elijah Asher is a trustworthy snake, but a snake he is…” Henry opened his mouth “I have dealt with him a few times, he will keep his word as long as you don’t double cross him or his interests.”“What about better prospects?” Chris quirked an eyebrow “Would that sway him?”Henry shook his head “Not in my experience, he is old school, handshake and honour of word kind of guy.”“Aren’t those types extinct?” Eric chuckled while Addison joined “That’s why we call him a dinosaur.”“Can you arrange a meeting for me with him?” Chris asked as he planned his next move.“When?”“How soon can we meet?”“Let me make a call?” Henry stepped out of the room.“Chris, what is the surprise that Harry was asking about?” Mark asked once the discussion died down w

    “Burkes will promise to be your backer.” Henry too promised before Elijah got over his shock by the double windfall.“You promise that if I help him, you will be my backer…. Ha….ha…. there really is a storm of pies falling from the skies today.” Elijah laughed as he joked “I must head to the nearest lottery selling outlet after our meeting and get a few tickets.”“Why a few?” Eric smirked “Isn’t one enough if your luck is shining brightly?”“Yes, but considering mine is storming, I am thinking of taking a few different ones.” Elijah reciprocated Eric’s gesture and hi-5-ed him.“Ha….ha…ha…” everyone laughed while Harry smirked “I didn’t know that you had such good humour sense.”“That’s the only way to keep my sanity.” Elijah laughed as he waved his hand suggestively between Chris, Mark and Henry.“I can understand why master Walter wants to be involved but I don’t know why you want to jump on the band wagon.” Elijah asked in a not-so-confident voice as he turned towards Henry.“He’s go

    Marcus had the easiest job although it looked like it was the hardest; He had planned to recruit all his cousins to help him convince his family to travel to Mossel Bay however all his plans were futile as everyone was packed and ready to set off as he reached home.“Dad, where are you going?” Marcus asked in shock as he saw all the suitcases packed and lined up in the foyer of the outdoor porch at the main entrance. His heart sank as he thought about his herculean task.“I am going to attend my youngest brother’s wedding.” Darcy chuckled before offering “You can come with us, if you don’t want to miss your little uncle’s wedding.”“How did you know?” Marcus puckered his lips as he glared resentfully at his heartless father who stole his thunder.“Chee!” Darcy sneered as he rolled his eyes in disdain without even bothering to glorify the resentment with an answer.“Son, where are you going?” Mark asked with a helpless expression as he saw Marcus walking in the direction of Darcy’s vil

    Meanwhile, at the manor on the south coast-“Little master” Night Sonic walked out of his post in the shadows and knelt beside Chris Jnr who was busy on his laptop.“Um” Chris Jnr hummed without raising his head; he was busy finalizing his design of the wedding venue arrangements.“Mr Holston is back.”“What does that madman’s return have to do with me?” Chris Jnr snorted even though his fingers didn’t stop dancing on the keyboard.“Master is upstairs with Madam.” Night Sonic scratched the back of his head with a constipated expression.“So???” Chris Jnr hooked his eyebrows with a curious expression as he titled his head to look at Night sonic. His lips curled up cynically as he teased “Do you think my daddy can’t handle that lunatic?”“Handle …yes….” Night Sonic chuckled after realizing his mistake, "but that’s exactly what I am concerned about."Chris Jnr too chuckled as he imagined his daddy punching the living daylights out of the madman; he didn’t bother to take any action; he co

    “What are you little ghosts planning this time?” Abbey asked as she patted the spot next to her on the sofa, giving Amy a suggestive look, to get her claws off her little treasure. Amy reluctantly placed Emm on the sofa next to Abbey and stood dutifully behind Abbey.Little treasure stood up on the sofa, lifting her chin with a boastful look as she announced, “We are going to give daddy and mommy the wedding of the century.”“You what???” Abbey’s eyes and mouth widened in shock. She turned her head to look at Night Blade to find some signs of bluffing but there were no giveaways on his face.She patted her chests in an attempt to calm her heart that was racing faster than a formula 1 car on the racetrack. She exhaled deeply as she stuttered “Wedding … a wedding… my Little treasure …. wants to do the wedding of a century….”“My dear little treasure even a simple wedding preparation takes time...” Abbey tried to calm her little treasure “It takes months and lots of preparation to prepar

    “Tell godmother who bullied you?” Abbey sat hugging little treasure on the sofa in the lounge setting in office “Godmother will avenge you.”“Who can bully little treasure?” Emm blinked as she smiled sweetly hugging Abbey “Little treasure is so sweet; how can anyone bear to bully me?”Amy had followed Abbey into the office seeing that Night Blade had no intention of being a gentleman and staying outside. She had to make sure her boss, other than being a workaholic, her boss didn’t have any flaws; she was young anyway… she could afford to work long hours.Amy had just stepped into the office and closed the door when she heard little treasure’s words which were adorable; how could anyone relate the word arrogant to that adorable face? She stood leaning against the door, staring starry-eyed at Emm. She really wanted to hug this adorable little angel.“Yes…. yes…. my little treasure is so adorable, who could bear to?” Abbey agreed happily as she kissed little treasure. “Where is big treas

    Master and his group reached the ancestral home of the Walters the next day; deciding on the ancestral home as their destination was a no brainer considering Bai-Min had seen Chris over there 2 weeks ago. However, it wasn’t the much-anticipated reunion that the group expected. Instead, they were told by the gatekeeper that everyone had travelled to Adam’s place.Master hesitated; he didn’t want to follow everyone to Adam’s place. What he really wanted to do was to follow Azure’s aura and find Emile. His original intention was to ditch the group once they met up with Chris and find Emile by following Azure’s aura.“Master, we have to be responsible for them.” Bai-Min knew what his master was thinking and opened his mouth to dissuade his master.“Master, I am following wherever you go.” Lai-Li knew what Bai-Min was up to, so she hurriedly added before Master delegated them to chaperon the trio; once master ordered, they couldn’t refuse.“Aa….

She wasn’t expecting Chris to come back anytime soon.“Hubby….” Emile ran to open the balcony as soon as she heard the knock on the balcony door and jumped into his embrace, hugging him tightly.“Missed me so soon?” Chris chuckled teasingly as he hugged her back.“Um” Emile nodded without feeling embarrassed, this was the man she loved and missed with all her heart. Why would she care about a little face?She lifted her head once her heart calmed down and settled on the bed, sitting in a comfortable position nestled in her hu

    Chris had just sent Little treasure and the rest of when his satellite phone beeped. It was a tone unique for messages from his treasures. He picked up the phone with a smile as he thought it was Little treasure urging him to work hard. His lips curled up further as he read the message; it wasn’t from Little treasure. It read-‘Daddy, the empress is on her own. I am not responsible if anything happens to your spoilt empress. I am busy.’ – Big treasure.He turned to nod towards Night Wing before leaving the manor.Daniel rushed back to his office all the while racking his brain on how to secure an invitation. His fingers paused twice as he browsed through his contacts list and reached Ron’s number, but he didn’t press down. It was more truthful to say that he didn’t have the confidence that Ron would answer his call. He had tried several times without success to reach him in the first few weeks that he had broken off their friendship to explain his side.‘Duk’ ‘Duk’ ‘Duk’He heard the

    Chris noticed that little treasure was eager to go back and didn’t force her to stay. He knew his little treasure’s intention was not what she said out loud, but he still indulged her; indulging his treasures had become a habit.Night blade and his team was tasked with escorting Little treasure back while Night Rider and his team stayed back with Chris; there was no need to ask about Night Wing to know what he did.“I don’t want Uncle Night Blade to follow me.” Little treasure pouted, throwing another temper tantrum before setting off, shocking Chris and Night Blade. Night Blade felt hurt even though his face was expressionless; his love and affection for the two treasures was no less than that of Night Wing.“Why is that?” Chris asked in a gentle tone, without showing any impatience even though he was shocked.“Uncle Night Blade won’t listen to me.” Little treasure pouted with feigned grievance although her lips her curling up victoriously in a corner not visible to anyone.Chris sig

During the night, they had reached a consensus to see what their treasures were up to and not tear open the farce till they got the green flag from their treasures.Chris dragged his feet back to the manor, wondering if he should punish his son for dragging his feet and delaying their reunion. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t understand why his son wouldn’t just call him and tell him that his mommy was back to normal and ask him to pick them up. He didn’t suspect his son’s intentions, just felt miserable that he still had to be separated from his family although the problems had been solved.However, all his thoughts were thrown to the back of mind as he saw his little treasure sitting in the lounge with her princess temper; her eyelashes stained with dewdrops that were threatening to fall, causing Marcus to run round in circles to please her.“What’s goi
