“Please…. Please spare us…. We were following orders…we ….we never tortured your men….we…” The timider ones from before all fell to their knees begging for mercy.“One chance, cherish it well…” Night Wing raised his hand in a gesture to stop his men as he opened his mouth. Everyone looked eagerly at him.“Who is your leader or sponsor?”“Me” The man who was in the leader’s position before stepped forward before any of the men could speak.“Wrong answer” No one saw anything other than Night Wing keeping his blade back in his belt and the man’s heading rolling on the ground. They didn’t even see when or how Night Wing moved or did what he did…“If I say, can you protect my life after I leave here?” One of the men asked hesitantly.“I can leave you an intact body to take to the underworld.” Chris spoke as he stared at the man.The man stood on the spot thinking for a minute before making up his mind. He had seen the body parts of their men scattered in the corridor. He knew that this was
The return journey was peaceful other than the heavy atmosphere that loomed due to the injuries of their injured team members who were receiving first aid. The first stop was Níngjìng valley which was the destination for almost everyone other than Chris, Night Wing and a few of the men that came with Chris.“Why don’t you stay the night and leave tomorrow?” Old master asked as he noted that Chris was busy checking on his men without even stopping to take a sip of water; he understood that Chris had no intention of staying back. He felt sorry for the young man who was also made of flesh and blood and yet had to work like he was made of iron.“My wife and kids are alone.” Chris spoke without any change in expression; he didn’t think it was shameful.“Wife …and…kids…and alone??” Old master repeated what Chris said giving it a meaningful emphasis on the contradiction of the sentence.Neil’s expression was the most comical and painful to watch; moving the muscles of his face that was beaten
Emile’s end was not that peaceful either; hers was a different battle.... one that she didn't even know was approaching her...Daniel was determined to bring his wife and kids home. He never, even for a second thought, that if left to his devices, at that point in his life, treasures would never have had the chance of coming into this world.“Boss, our men reported that Chris left the house last night along with Night Wing and hasn’t returned.” George ran into Daniel’s room and announced in excitement.“Are you sure?” Daniel too sat up excitedly; his eyes shined bright with a scheming glint.“Um.” George nodded with a constipated expression.“What?”“Boss, they might not come out.”“Then we will go and visit.” Daniel stood up arrogantly “I want to see who will stop me from seeing my kids.” His arrogance came from the fact that Chris wasn’t home conveniently forgetting that it was Emile that didn’t let him to be anywhere near her.Daniel changed his clothes a few times before he settled
Amanda stood outside the door with a hesitant smile. Elizabeth’s face bloomed into a happy smile as she saw Amanda, forgetting her previous rant.“Come… come… come…. It has been such a long time since you came to see this old woman.” Elizabeth invited happily.Adam’s face fell inwardly as he saw who the visitor was. He quietly send a message calling for back-up as he sat with an expressionless face.“Auntie, did I come at a wrong time?” Amanda stood in the lounge, hesitating if she should go forward and accept Elizabeth’s invitation to sit down and back off; Adam’s face didn’t have the same enthusiasm as Elizabeth. But if she went back today, she wouldn’t be able to achieve her goal. Just as she was hesitating, the doorbell rang again.“Emile must be here.” Elizabeth got up hastily as she looked guiltily towards Adam. It was not her intention to have Amanda and Emile together. Her calling Emile was purely on impulse… she didn’t even know that Amanda would be dropping by. She had never
The dinner ended on a high note with Eric balancing the strained ambience with his witty rejoinders although Elizabeth didn’t achieve her goal. She wanted to get back to topic several times but was pushed back even before she could start either by Adam or Mark.“Your mom is never really going to accept me!” Emile sighed as she leaned into Chris’s embrace on their way back home; the sadness in her eyes could not be hidden, even under the cover of darkness.“Whether she accepts or not is her problem.” Chris wasn’t too concerned. The truth was that he wasn’t too keen on getting his mom’s approval. Perhaps it was because of the way his young mind was impacted by the influence her meddling had on Darcy’s life. Don’t put it down as he wasn’t even past the age of a preschooler when that incident happened; young minds are more observant and alert especially those of exceptionally talented ones like that of Chris.“She is her and I am me…” Chris continued as he saw that her mood was still low.
That night the busiest person was Abbey; She knew the cravings of the audience for the background of her previous articles. There was a huge fan base following for the travel diaries of two ladies who travelled anonymously and how they found the love of their life during these travels. Her boss had told her that most of the letters they received was urging them shed light into the circumstances that led to the ladies requiring to travel incognito.Sam had told her that he was even approached by other magazines wanting to buy the article with the backstory at a high price but at that stage they didn’t have that intention but now, the more coverage they got would, the better it would be for their cause although they were confident in winning the court case, public opinion can be a scary fact especially for the kids who might not have an adult with them all the time.Abbey decided to give Sam a ring to check if he had any contacts or ideas to increase coverage. The two plotted for the ear

Emile was probably the only person who wasn’t impacted by the article; She had lived through it which was a hundred times worse than what Abbey had written… but the other reason was she didn’t read the article. She trusted Abbey, she didn’t have to read to know what she wrote.She wondered why her husband and kids weren’t in the lounge area waiting for her as usual when she came back from work; but she didn’t waste time wondering, she turned to Jeffrey “Where is everyone?”“Boss is with the children in their bedroom.” Jeffrey responded as he hanged the coat and hat that Emile had handed over.“Um” Emile nodded with a quizzical pout, but she didn’t question Jeffrey any further. She walked towards the children’s room; ‘Why bother the poor butler when she could get the answer from the horse’s mouth?’Emile opened the door and stood still watching the serene scene in the room, savouring the beauty of the scene in front of her. Chris was sitting with his eyes closed on the rocking chair wit
