The Ascension Chapter 31: Family Meeting
...An hour after the encounter with the middle-aged man, Ley arrived at the bungalow, his face reverted to a taciturn one, as if the carefreeness he showed to the middle-aged man was nothing but an illusion, or a pretense.He ate dinner with Hana and the guest.After that, he brought up to Hana and the others the issues he had considered this afternoon before they decided that they would bring the old man into the discussion too. As it was a ‘family affair’, Nathan was naturally not invited since he was still a mere guest.The sole reception room in the house had a fairly huge screen installed and on it, the old man’s face appeared.Fernando was wearing a thick jacket, and a scarf wrapped around his thin, bony neck. Behind stood Sam, the official butler. Had Nathan signed the contract already, Ley would have loved to introduce Sam, his future boss, to him.At first, the old man’s face was not looking good, as if something had pissed him off. When the connection had yet to stabilize ev
The Ascension Chapter 32: Cliché Method
…Later that night, Hana and Leyte immediately looked for a rich tycoon with an illness that modern medicine could hardly figure out, but Hana could heal. Thankfully, the task was not that hard since the targets were famous people of the business world. Even without Fernando’s assistance, they would still be able to complete it.Speaking of the healer, Ley asked what type of illness she could and she could not deal with.Hana said she could not regenerate missing parts yet, but helping a paralyzed lame legs or arms recover was doable. Cancer patients in the middle stage and those with equivalent degree of illnesses could also be treated. Any physical conditions lesser than these were easy, all that she would have to watch out for was her own 50 heal limit.But as for psychological and mental diseases… Sorry, those were very tricky. At best, she could only help relieve those overfatigued and stressed. But people with clinical depression were out of her league. They would need professi
The Ascension Chapter 33: Daring
…Getting past the outer security was harder than convincing the target to let Hana try to heal him. And it was proven a bit wrong when they met the person in a brightly lit reception room full of classical decorations and paintings.Armand Razon was a man in his early or mid-seventies, yet due to wearing a frown all day long, he seemed like in the same generation as Old Fernando who died in his late eighties. Decades of experience in politics and business made his aura very domineering. Ley was okay, but Hana was from a completely humble origin so despite being a higher being now, she still felt intimidated for a moment.“Greetings, Mr. Razon.” It was Ley who broke the tense atmosphere with a polite smile.The old man did not invite them to sit and did not even return the greetings. Age gave him the senior mentality that made him think no matter how superior looking a youth was, they would always be his junior that would have to pay him respect.“I gave you two time. I also appreciate
The Ascension Chapter 34: Conditions
...In the meeting that just took place, the latter conversation became a bit smoother since the old man finally believed that they were not really human.Think about it. Which human could bring people elsewhere in a matter of seconds without them noticing?“So what are you two?” Armand managed to ask after regaining control over his slightly trembling lips.He asked because, although it was nighttime, the two did not appear like ghosts in his eyes. Armand only reached his current age with so many ups and downs in his life, but this was the first time he encountered people like them whose appearances can't get captured by the lens.He was looking to his right side.They were now in his personal working office, and the monitor atop the desktop connected to the surveillance cameras showed that the faces of the two people before him were featureless. And oh, it was not that they had no eyes, brows, nose, and lips.
The Ascension Chapter 35: I Can Walk!
...Ley only let Hana heal the old man when the latter signed the contract and promised to be their buyer and distributor for whatever products they would offer in the future. He said 'whatever products' since this might not be limited to gold. There were various commodities that could be exported from Ophir. Even if those things were not transported over, Ley was not lacking in ambition, so he would surely venture to other businesses. Hana too had a high likelihood of dabbling into pharmaceutical work, and might develop some skincare products, herbal medicine, etc. Armand’s side would have to distribute everything to potential consumers and help in whatever ways he could.
The Ascension Chapter 36: The Day After
...Hana woke up around 9 am. It was a rare sunny morning of their country's usually rainy June.When she walked down the small staircase, the first person she looked for was, as usual, Ley. She caught sight of him seated comfortably in the living room, and he was watching some sort of movie. For her, who had quite the meticulous and no-nonsense image in her mind, it was quite unbelievable. Her eyes widened a bit and her mouth formed a small 'o' for a while.‘So he’s not thinking of work all the time.’ The girl then giggled, finally remembering that the guy was only three to four years older than her. She teased, “How come the family head is idling away now?”With a tap of his finger, he paused the funny stand-up comedy playing on the screen. He did this all instinctively, alarmed by the girl’s voice.Ley looked up sideway. His eyes were seemingly asking, 'Family head? Who?'As she was wearing her outdoor shoes, her footsteps echoed loudly. Her eyes were on the ground as she carefully
The Ascension Chapter 37: The Visit
...Ley wished for the visitors to arrive before 4 pm and somehow, it happened. Armand Razon was escorted outside by a man in his early to mid-forties. There were no other people who came with them. The middle-aged man served as a driver and an assistant. But given their resemblance to each other, it was not hard to guess that they were father or son, or close relatives. The old man roamed his eyes around. A hint of disbelief flickered across his eyes as he found something a bit unbelievable. Those miracle-makers lived in this place?It was a large bungalow house with a partial second floor built into a sloped roof that could not look any more normal from the outside. Verandahs and gardens surrounded the main building. The wires outside indicated that it was dependent on electricity and internet provider... And that was it. Armand was a bit unsettled because from the outside, it looked like only a normal above average family lived in it. He could not help but mumble, "What a humble
The Ascension Chapter 38: Blunder
...Only when Ley visited his parents again, or more like, took a glimpse of them from afar that he realized the great blunder he had just committed.The realization made him very unsettled, so instead of going to the bridge near the mall after leaving the Baler's mansion, he paid the Razons a visit.
