It
was an elegantly and plainly decorated restaurant in the suburbs, meant
to aid in relaxation. However, there was not a single waiter inside,
only two groups of people at each end of a table. The tension was like a
highly strung bow, at risk of snapping any moment.
“Long time no see, Solaris Emperor.”
Yue
Baylian was the first to break the silence, in a voice as sticky sweet
as honey. He even threw a few flirtatious winks at him. There were four
cyborgs standing upright behind him, devoid of all expression.
“Indeed it has.” Devon Solaris replied with a faint smile before calling out in a softer, gentler tone, “Yuer.”
Upon hearing this, Yue was stunned for a moment, uncontrollably blurting out, “Dev, you……”
He
was about to continue when he noticed the Solaris Emperor’s pair of
ruby red eyes. Although his face wore a smile, his eyes were not those
that belong to an arrogant yet somewhat doltish Dev, this smile was just
a façade the scheming Solaris Emperor used when dealing with enemies.
Seeing
this, Yue gave a flirtatious laugh and said, “So you still remember me.
Yuer feels so honored! Yuer thought that you have never cared!”
Devon Solaris smiled, “Nonsense, I have never forgotten your beautiful posture and moves as you brandished your whip.”
“Hehehe, Yuer has never realized that Solaris Emperor has such a sweet mouth!”
“But how it pales in contrast to your sweet face?”
“Hehe……”
Why
does their conversation seem as though they are reminiscing, even like a
couple flirting with each other, yet the atmosphere appears to be
steadily deteriorating? Elian and Eli who were standing behind the Solaris Emperor did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Yue
put aside his amorous attitude and smiled faintly, “Even the sweetest
face cannot capture Solaris Emperor’s briefest attention. For Solaris
Emperor to spare a glance my way is even tougher than administering the
entire Lunaris Alliance.”
On
hearing this, the Solaris Emperor knew that the time for niceties had
ended and it was time to cut to the chase. Sighing he said, “Why do you
have to oppose me just because of some minute incidents in the past? I
do not want pandemonium to break out in the business sector due to our
rivalry. It will not bring either of us any benefits. Yuer, it was
indeed my fault, i should not have forgotten you.”
“Let us reconcile and not continue hurting each other further, alright?”
Hearing
this, Yue revealed a mirthless smile, thinking that the Solaris Emperor
was indeed worthy of his name and reputation. First he proposed a truce
from the standpoint of a businessman concerned about potential losses.
Then he mentions that it’s actually for the sake of their friendship,
completely ignoring the hostage situation, so that Yuer would think that
his captive was worthless.
If he had not discovered that Dark Sun was in fact the younger brother of the Solaris Emperor, he might have fallen for that.
Unfortunately,
no matter how cleverly his lies were told or how perfectly the
arrangements were made, he would never be deceived. Because it was Devon
himself who told him that the reason he became the Solaris Emperor, the
God of Commerce, was for a single cause – to find his brother.
To
say that Devon Solaris would not care about the well-being of his
brother…… Ha! Saying that he did not care about the destruction of the
world is more believable.
“Solaris
Emperor, since you put it this way, I really want to reconcile with
you!” Yue smiled knowingly. “I’ll return Theodore Avery to you then.
However, there is no way I can return you the bodyguard. He tried to
escape so I killed him!”
Devon Solaris abruptly stood up, eyes wide and face paper white.
Yue held up his hands, replying innocently, “Aiya! Solaris Emperor, he’s merely a bodyguard, why get so worked up?”
Devon forced out a grim smile before slowly settling down once again. Yue
couldn’t have killed Dar! Since the picture of the hostage was that of
Dar and not Avery, then he should know that the person he could threaten
me with is Dar, so he couldn’t have killed him, he was just scaring me,
scaring me... …
Even
though Devon Solaris was 90% sure that Dar was still alive, he was
still afraid to the extent that he was trembling slightly. Giving a wry
smile, he wondered if he was still the Solaris Emperor? To think that a
lie could actually frighten him so much.
Seeing
the smile on Yue’s face increasingly widen, Devon Solaris knew that his
weakness had been discovered by the other party and he could no longer
hide it.
He
replied in a serious tone, “Speak! What’s the condition for release?
Remember that the annihilation of the Lunaris Alliance does not pose a
challenge to me at all.”
“If
that’s what you want, go ahead. Do you really think that I care about
the fate of the Lunaris Alliance?” Yue gave him an indifferent look.
This
time round, Devon had a sense of foreboding. He recalled the incident
where they bombed his headquarters with not a shred of concern about the
potential collapse of the worldwide economy. Devon Solaris rarely faced
these type of opponents where benefits were not their goal and were
willing to risk self destruction.
Calming himself down, “Then what do you want?”
“What do I want?” Yue blinked a few times before replying, “Don’t you have any idea?”
“What?” Devon Solaris frowned. Indeed, he could not grasp what Yue wanted.
“I
want...... hehe...... hahaha! You still don’t know?” Yue’s soft giggles
soon turned into hysterical laughter, “I want you to suffer! Solaris
Emperor, I want you to feel more pain then I did when you forgot about
me after you were done using me, hahaha!”
“You are crazy!” Devon Solaris slammed his fist down onto the table, bellowing, “I have no time for your nonsense! Where is he?”
On
hearing his query, Eli who was standing behind him lowered his head and
closed his eyes, whole-heartedly trying his best to read Yue’s thoughts
on Daren’s whereabouts...…
“Right beneath your feet.” Yue casually replied.
Devon Solaris froze. What, what does it mean? Is it a trap? Or...…
“It’s true!”
At the same moment, Eli whispered in panic, “He, he has even loaded nuclear warheads below...…”
Although
he spoke softly, everyone present still heard him. Apart from the four
modified humans standing behind Yue who were emotionless, all the others
got a fright.
“Oh?”
Yue could not help looking at Eli, raising an eyebrow, “What an
interesting kid, but not to worry, even if it exploded, none of us will
be affected, however the people below......he! Let’s not talk about
ashes, have you ever seen a nuclear warhead going off? Humans will be
instantly vaporised!”
His heart aching, Devon Solaris bellowed, “If you kill him, I will never let you off!”
Yue
held up his hands, blinking innocently, “That doesn’t matter. If I can
see the world’s most beautifully pained look on your face due to the
lost of your precious brother, I will not have any regrets even if I
die.”
Devon expression turned ugly, his asked darkly, “What exactly do you want?”
“Haven’t I said it already? I see that Solaris Emperor’s memory is not that good?”
Devon
Solaris was silent for a moment before saying, “Let him go. You can
take me instead. You can torture me in any way you want.”
Yue gave a sweet smile, “Deal. Follow me down, then I will release him.”
Devon Solaris hesitated for a moment. What if he was captured but Yue still refused to let Dar go?
Noticing
Devon’s hesitance, Yue gave a faint smile, “Don’t worry. It is you I
want right from the beginning. With you in hand, your brother is
worthless to me.”
Devon
glanced at Eli, and after the latter nodded to signify that Yue was
telling the truth, he took a deep breath and said, “Got it. Then, bring
me to my brother now. I want to see you release him personally.”
“No problem.” A smile grew on Yue’s face as he stood up, making a gesture for Devon Solaris to follow.
“Solaris
Emperor...…” Elian called after him anxiously. Are they supposed to let
Dar’s brother be taken away right before their eyes?
Devon
threw a glance back at Eli, the latter looked as if somebody had used a
loudspeaker next to his ears, and was almost struck unconscious by
Devon’s message.
Stay
above and wait for Dar. Once you meet up with him, take him away
immediately. Let Bill deal with the rest. All you have to do is ensure
Dar’s safety. Even it means paying with your lives, you have to stop him
from coming back to rescue me! Do you hear me?!
Eli grabbed onto Elian to stop himself from collapsing onto the ground from dizziness. Drooping his head, he nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Devon averted his gaze, and said impassively to Yue, “Let’s go.”
Yue
looked at Eli suspiciously but failed to speculate Devon’s thoughts.
However, recalling Solaris Emperor’s panic-stricken expression when he
heard the false information about his brother being dead, he guessed he
would not dare to risk his brother evaporating from the surface of the
planet.
“Let’s
go, my beloved Solaris Emperor.” Yue dared not lower his guard yet.
Only when he has the Solaris Emperor completely in his hands would he be
able to relax.
Devon
glanced at Yue, then, like a high and mighty aristocrat, he walked
passed Yue casually, as though he was an invited guest instead of a
hostage.
“Dark Sun has escaped?”
Yue
had just brought Devon Solaris to their underground base when a
subordinate approached with the report. On hearing that, quirky looks
surfaced on both their faces. Especially Devon, the corner of his lips
twitching uncontrollably. He had not expected Daren to escape by
himself. Aren’t I just asking for trouble this time?
Yue
glanced at Solaris Emperor with a smile that did not reach his eyes,
“This is great. He has escaped before I could release him. You can
finally rest assured this time round.”
Devon looked away, ignoring his dig.
Yue
pondered about how overly easy it had been to capture Dark Sun and
smelled something fishy. It seemed that he was indeed trying to rescue
Avery by walking into the trap.
“Was Avery rescued as well?”
The subordinate who was half-kneeling on the ground reported, “Mr. Avery is still in the laboratory.”
Yue said, “Kill him.”
Devon said, “Kill him!”
Yue gave Devon Solaris an odd look, the latter actually wanted Avery dead too?
Having
Avery around was beneficial for Dark Sun. Be it repair work after a
battle, upgrading modifications, or even the creation of more modified
humans. This was also advantageous for the rescue of Devon. If Dark Sun
turned up with some modified humans in tow, it was possible for them to
rescue Devon. That was why he wanted Avery dead. But why would the
Solaris Emperor want him dead?
Noticing Yue’s expression, Devon coldly replied, “Traitors must die.”
“Even
if he is very useful?” Yue raised an eyebrow in query. It had always
been a businessman’s nature to fully make use of all the resources made
available to them. Throwing away such talent without a second thought
was such a waste.
Devon
Solaris merely sneered, “If somebody useful is not loyal, the more he
should be killed. If he betrays me, his usefulness will bring benefits
to my enemies.”
“I see.”
Yue
nodded. The Solaris Emperor was indeed worthy of his reputation. It was
probably his viciousness that helped him rise to his status of the God
of Commerce. But was it possible that he was trying to use reverse
psychology on him? To make him change his mind and let Avery live
instead?
“If that’s the case, how about I let you kill that traitor with your own hands?”
Devon smiled, “There is nothing better than that.”
Yue
scrutinised his face a few times, but that handsome face of his showed
nothing but his usual haughty expression. He really could not tell what
he was thinking!
Even
though he was currently his hostage, he had never once lowered his head
in submission, nor changed his expression when giving a command to
kill. It was impossible to knows the thoughts of someone like him even
with telepathic abilities.
“Follow me please, Solaris Emperor.”
A
hint of gentleness surfaced on Yue’s face. Devon was exactly like that
in the past as well! Even when a delinquent wanted to punch him, he
calmly replied that he wanted to experience the feeling of getting
beaten up......ha! If it had been the other normal young aristocrats,
they would have long been overwhelmed with rage.
Devon
Solaris took the first step, his posture displaying no hint that he was
a hostage. Yue followed to his right, four modified humans enhanced by
Avery trailing behind them. All in all, he looked as though he was the
king out on an inspection.
Whenever
they reached a fork along the corridor, Devon Solaris would glance at
Yue out of the corner of his eyes and the latter would point out the
correct path for him to take.
When they reached an electronic door, Yue walked forward and slid a card through the reader, activating the door.
Avery
was indeed inside. He was rather jumpy, probably because he was caught
off guard by their sudden appearance. He asked with a weird expression,
“Devon, it’s you?”
“Long time no see, Avery.” Devon smiled.
Yet, this smile raised Avery’s goosebumps and gave him a sense of foreboding doom.
“I’ll
cut the crap. You should have come to a realisation long ago when you
betrayed me.” Devon continued smiling with the addition of a BHP09
handgun in his hand pointed straight at Avery.
Yue glanced from the corner of his eyes but paid it no need, allowing his captive to remain armed.
Seeing this, Avery blanched as he roared, “St... Stop! Devon don’t kill me. At least not now......”
Hmph! As if Devon would heed his words. He raised his silver handgun emotionlessly, “Goodbye Avery.”
A
shot rang out. But a silhouette swifter than a gunshot flashed before
Avery. He had to take the bullet in his arm due to the sudden
development, the bullet penetrating deep into his flesh.
Devon stared wide eyed, unable to believe that the person who shielded Avery, whom he injured with his own bullet was his......
“D...Dar! What are you doing here?”
Daren did not reply, unable to comprehend the rapidly changing situations. What
is gege doing here? Not to mention he is standing beside Yue without a
hint of being coerced. Is gege really that determined to kill papa
Avery?
“Don’t move Dark Sun!”
Yue
quickly drew out his whip, knocked Devon’s handgun away with a flick
and placed a stranglehold around Devon’s neck. After subduing Devon, he
ordered the four modified humans to form a shield around them, so that
no matter how strong Dark Sun was, he could not rescue Devon.
Yue’s
actions vanished the bewildered Daren. Dark Sun the ultimate protector
of his master emerged instead. He gazed at Yue expressionlessly as he
rapidly assessed how to save Devon.
“Kill Avery. Kill him now!” Yue screeched.
He
had seen Dark Sun’s disfigured left hand which was difficult to heal
completely without Avery’s skills. He must not allow Avery the
opportunity to treat Dark Sun.
“St......” Devon was startled. Dar must not be allowed to kill, especially Avery whom he likes tremendously. He will be heartbroken!
Yue
tightened his whip around Devon’s neck, cutting off his ability to
breath, let alone speak. Devon could only struggle with the whip, hoping
to stop his brother from killing.
“Kill Avery, Dark Sun. Or I will kill your brother!”
At
that, Dark Sun spun around with the metallic claws of his right hand
flashing, his target the same one he selflessly protected only moments
ago.
“Dar......”
Avery
looked at the expressionless Dark Sun in despair. He knew that Dark Sun
would mercilessly exterminate all elements detrimental to his master.
Unfortunately, he had just become such a factor.
Resigned
to his fate, he heaved a sigh. While Dark Sun was blocking him from the
line of vision of the others in the room, he wordlessly mouthed that
the Reaper’s Scythe was in Yue’s study.
Streams of tears trickled down Dark Sun’s face even though he remained expressionless as his claws advanced towards Avery.
“Devon, I’ll give you one last piece of advice.”
Avery
peeked his head around Dark Sun saying sincerely, “If you keep on
treating your brother like a helpless fledgeling, incidents like this
will keep repeating itself.”
Devon was stunned. Yet, he still glared fiercely at Avery, telling him to mind his own business.
Ha! The unfathomable Solaris Emperor was just an elder brother who did not know how to educate his younger sibling. Avery thought humorously just as he felt a sharp pain on his chest......
Dark Sun’s tear stained yet emotionless face was right before him, his hand piercing into his chest. The wound looks like......
Avery looked up and saw tears cascading down Dark Sun’s face in ever greater torrents, his hand trembling......
It fucking hurts. This was the only instance where Dark Sun did not finish off his target immediately with the first blow. It
must be because I have a special place in his heart and hence he is
unable to kill me directly. Although I’m very touched, this is goddamn
freaking painful!
“Dar, can you please...... urgh!”...... let me die quickly? Because it’s unbearably painful!
Before
he had a chance to complete his sentence, Dark Sun punched him in the
chest with his charred left hand, winding him. He collapsed onto the
ground, status undeterminable.
Dark Sun turned, “Mission complete!”
Dar!
Devon
struggled with the cord around his neck as he took in the sight of a
tear-stained Dar with a blood-stained right hand and charred left
hand......
The anguish felt like it would rip his innards apart. It made the high and mighty Solaris Emperor feel like screaming out loud. How did it come to this?
“Are you suffering, Solaris Emperor?” Yue jerked him closer, fascinated with the anguish written all over his face.
“What
a captivating expression. I expected no less from the brother you pined
after all those years ago. Only he can make you reveal such beautiful
expressions.”
You goddamn freak! It’s all because of you! You made my Dar sad and full of wounds! Devon’s eyes burned with intense ferocity.
“Ha!” Yue snorted. He raised his head, “Dark Sun, destroy your right hand.”
Dark Sun faltered. His left hand was almost completely disabled, if he were to destroy his right hand......
“Hurry up!”
Yue tightened the noose around Devon, cutting off his air supply. His face startled turning purple.
No...... Stop, stop! Devon yelled internally.
Dark
Sun made a simple assessment. Under the circumstance where he was
against four modified humans previously enhanced by Avery, it was
impossible for him to rescue his master especially when his master was
in enemy hands.
He
could only follow the instructions for now. Since the command was to
destroy his own right hand, he would probably not be killed for the time
being. As long as he remained alive he could think of a way to save his
master.
Dark
Sun hammered his right hand against the wall. With a thunderous sound,
his right hand was disfigured into a grotesque shape.
Yue was still unsatisfied. He had witnessed Dark Sun’s capabilities. He ordered his four modified humans, “Break his legs.”
The
modified humans charged forward. Dark Sun took a few steps back,
contemplating his course of action. He was still mobile without the use
of his hands, but if his legs were broken, not only could he not save
his master, it would be difficult for him to even escape.
But
he took a look at Devon and did not retaliate, letting the modified
humans beat him into the ground while he tried to shield his major
organs in order to minimise damage. This way, he could save Master at a
later stage.
Dar,
don’t hurt Dar...... Although Devon’s face was a mottled purple from
the strangulation, he continued staring as his brother was pummeled. His
hands felt cold and numb, his heart frozen. Don’t hurt my Dar, I beg you, I’m willing to give you all my possessions if only you would stop hurting him......
“Solaris Emperor?”
Yue
felt a sudden weight on his hand. Only then did he realise that Devon
had fainted. He unconsciously revealed a queer expression. One was beaten, yet it’s the other that faints?
“Ok. Retreat.”
Now that Dark Sun was sufficiently incapacitated, if he did not leave now, the Solaris Emperor’s reinforcements might arrive.
He
picked up the unconscious Devon in one swoop and took a glance at Dark
Sun who was sprawled on the ground. The latter’s injuries were so severe
that he could not even use his hands to prop himself up despite several
attempts.
Yue picked up the BHP09 from the ground and with a flirtatious smile, aimed it at the struggling Dark Sun.
“Come,
cute Dark Sun didi. Just two more shots will do. You know that I’m
paranoid, especially since you’re so strong. If I don’t bring you to the
verge of death I can’t ease my fears!”
Dark Sun looked down the barrel and saw a spark......
********************
“M... Mr. Avery?”
Who’s
calling me? Is that Dar? Does he want to eat breakfast, lunch or
dinner? Urgh! For all you know it might be supper. Dar has been going
out with Ezart and his friends for supper recently. He never forgets to
return with a heap of food for me.
Avery
opened his eyes slowly. Yet all before him was a blur of white. But
this was not unusual. Each time he fainted from over exhaustion while
conducting his experiments, Dar would lug him to the bedroom. This was a
similar feeling to those times when he finally woke up.
He
blinked a few times, his eyes finally beginning to focus as that blurry
white object turned into a ceiling. Why does it not feel like his
bedroom? It resembled a hospital room instead. He raised his left arm
and saw an intravenous drip running into it. He was indeed in hospital.
“Papa Avery, you’re finally awake!”
Avery
turned towards the voice at a glacial pace. A few faces stared happily
back at him. He frowned as he spoke with a voice hoarse with disuse,
“Eloise......”
“Great! Papa Avery called my name.”
Eloise was ecstatic, embracing Eli in a bear hug as she spun around in circles.
Seeing
Avery’s bewildered expression, Elian explained, “Mr. Avery, you were
injured, you almost didn’t make it. The doctors even said that even if
you woke up, there was a high chance of becoming a vegetable.”
Avery thought hazily, really? That was no big deal. He always got the same feeling that he would not wake up each time he fainted in his laboratory. But Eloise......, you’re not allowed to call me papa! Having Dar, the one child is more than enough!
Eloise asked anxiously, “Papa Avery, what happened? Where’s Dar?”
“Huh?” Avery rolled his eyes, “I was going to ask you what happened. Did Dar return from rescuing his brother?”
Three of them revealed solemn expressions.
“Dar and the Solaris Emperor are both missing.”
“What?” Avery frowned, “What about the Solaris Emperor’s all-purpose computer?”
All-purpose
computer...... must be referring to Kyle. All three were unsure if they
should laugh or cry. What an appropriate name!
Elian
sighed, “It’s been a week. Even though Kyle has completely taken over
the Lunaris Alliance, we’re still unable to locate Yue. Both the Solaris
Emperor and Dar are in his hands.”
“Can’t
find?” Avery laughed mirthlessly, “More like he doesn’t want them to be
found. Without the Solaris Emperor, Kyle is the highest ranking member
of the Solaris Federation.”
“In actual fact, even if the Solaris Emperor were around, Kyle is still the one handling everything right?”
That’s true! All four within the hospital room nodded in unison.
Eh? Heads swivelled towards the door where the so called all-purpose computer was standing.
Kyle
was dressed in a suit, carrying a briefcase and get-well-soon hamper.
He placed the hamper on the table and retrieved his laptop. He began
typing away as he said, “I need to know everything that you know to
better rescue the Solaris Emperor and young master Daren.”
Avery
snorted, “Is that good? You’ll return to being Solaris Emperor’s
all-purpose computer catering to his every whim after they are rescued.
Or are you afraid that the Solaris Emperor might resurface on his own,
hence you have to find him in order to get rid of him once and for all?”
Kyle’s
expression did not alter despite hearing those words. He continued
talking as he typed away, “Mr. Avery, please rest assure that the
Solaris Emperor has thought of all the possibilites that you’re
currently entertaining . He trusts me even then, so what do you have to
worry about?”
Avery was rendered speechless. He raised his eyebrow and began describing the events of that day.
“I don’t know much. Dar suddenly appeared before me that day......”
********************
“Papa Avery!”
Avery was pottering with his experiments when he heard a cry that sounded just like Dar’s.
“Gosh!”
He said self-deprecatingly, “Have I gone without food for so long that
I’m having auditory hallucinations of Dar calling me......”
“Papa Avery, over here!”
Avery froze as the ventilation shaft overhead clattered, spitting out a youth who landed right beside him.
“D... Dar? Why are you here? How did you get in?”
Daren giggled, “I came to save you! I finally found you, Papa Avery, let’s leave quickly!”
Avery was gobsmacked. He was shocked when he saw Daren’s charred left hand, “How did this happen?”
Daren
waved his left hand, “I had no choice. Had to sacrifice my left hand in
order to escape. But it’s ok! As long as papa Avery is around, this
injury will heal very quickly.”
Avery frowned, “First, let me treat you. Then you should leave quickly. It’s too dangerous here.”
“Papa Avery, are you not coming with me?” Daren started getting anxious.
“I......”
Avery hesitated before spitting it out, “Sigh! I can’t leave this
place. I betrayed the both of you. Your brother will not let me off the
hook. If I’m discovered after leaving this place, he will definitely
kill me.”
“No he won’t!” Daren interrupted vociferously, “Gege promised he won’t kill papa!”
Avery asked suspiciously, “Really?”
Will that Solaris Emperor really forgive those who had betrayed him?
In truth, Daren was not too confident about it. He could only bluster on, “I don’t care. I will not let gege kill you!”
Avery
knew then that Devon had not truly forgiven him. He quietened before
saying, “Let me treat your wounds before we talk further.”
“Orh.” Daren nodded and obediently held out his left hand. Even
if papa doesn’t want to leave, I will knock him unconscious. Then I
will let papa follow me around so that gege can’t kill papa.
Avery was just about to use his diagnostic equipment on Daren when the electronic door started flashing. Someone was coming in.
“Dar! People......” He shouted anxiously.
Daren’s reaction was even faster. In a flash, he had disappeared into a cabinet at the side.
Then Devon and Yue entered to take his life......
“Devon
fired at me but Dar dashed out to take the bullet instead. In the end
Yue subdued Devon and coerced Dark Sun into killing me. He really made
his move. I fainted and know nothing of what happened thereafter.”
Avery
shrugged as he lay on the bed. He knew that none of that information
was of any help to finding the Solaris Emperor and Dar.
Everyone grew silent after listening to his account.
Kyle spoke mildly, “Young master Daren expertly avoided your heart. Or else you’d have died on the spot.”
Avery
snorted again, “I don’t need you to tell me. I’m a doctor. Did you
think that I would hate Dar for trying to kill me? Why don’t you tell me
how you managed to subjugate the entire Lunaris Alliance and yet remain
unable to find those two people!”
At
the mention of it, Kyle sounded resigned, “Solaris Emperor made
arrangements and contacted all the spies in the Lunaris Alliance in
advance. He also secretly made pacts with family members of the Lunaris
Alliance to preserve and deliver the organisation in its entirety to
Shain Baylian the instant Yue died, instead of allowing its subsidiaries
to carve it up piecemeal."
“If so, then why hasn’t Solaris Emperor been rescued?” Avery found it hard to believe.
“It’s
simple. Firstly, this entire fiasco was orchestrated solely by Yue with
no consultation of other family members. In addition, he does not care
about the survival of the Lunaris Alliance. After you fainted, he
disappeared with the Solaris Emperor, young master Daren and four
modified humans. We deduced that he departed via private jet and did not
land at any airports. Hence, we’re unable to trace their whereabouts.”
Avery was flabbergasted. He knew that fellow was mentally unstable. To think that he was this crazy. What in the world is he trying to do? Abduct the Solaris Emperor to an uninhabited island for a couples retreat?
“He’s utterly beserk.” He concluded.
At that, Kyle paused his typing in complete agreement agreed with Avery’s assessment. Solaris Emperor, even you would not be able to predict how a mad man will behave.
How am I supposed to bring both you and young master Daren back unharmed?
******************** Eclipse Hunter v03c08 END ********************
Thank you OSS very much. I loved the chapter, but to leave us on such a cliffhanger is cruel. Thanks again for the chapter.
ReplyDeleteAmazing chapter!I can't wait to find out what happened!
ReplyDeleteA couple of grammatical errors:
"even you would not be able to predict how a mad men will behave." needs to be "mad man"
"or else you'd have die on the spot" needs to be "died"
"having Dar the one child is more than enough" I really don't like this sentence. I think it would be better "Dar being his child was more than enough."
Don't you mean dead?
DeleteNo, 'died' is better than 'dead' in this instance.
Deletethank you for the chappie!! <3333
ReplyDeleteu all are amazing!! ^^
Oh god, oh god.....I can't stop laughing "Couples Retreat" Bwahahaha! How rich! Thanks OSS for the hard and fast work! Thank you so very much!
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing out the mistakes Anon. My eyes were @_@ from reading too much EH.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! But, I still don't like how you have the sentence about Dar being Avery's child worded.
Delete-Anon that pointed out mistakes.
Thank you guys for such an amazing chapter!
ReplyDeleteBur I really wonder where Devon and Dar went....
Well, obviously Yue and Devon are going to their "couples retreat."
DeleteOh and Dar and the modified humans are there to be witnesses for their wedding...XD
Wonderful chapter! Thank you. Makes you think that all the characters are fairly bonkers, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the quick chapter oss!
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, I thing most of the characters in EH are slightly nuts. But DAR, he's been like completely disfigured!I hope Avery patches him up well and he's not in too much pain!
Excellent story....thank you for the translation.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the next chapter.
I would really like to know how a nuclear weapon can be set off in a basement but allow the people in the upper floors to be unharmed....
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Thank you for translating!
ReplyDeleteKyle's nickname "all-pirpose computer" got me to lmao
Same here. First "Bill," now it's the "All-Purpose Computer." Oh Kyle...
DeleteThanks OSS!
Can't wait for the next chapter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crazy =D
ReplyDeleteThank's for the update...............
ReplyDeleteHave I ever mentioned that I love you guys?
ReplyDeleteNo? /shocked
I love you guys. <3
Thanks for the chapter! I really appreciate all that you all have done. It's wonderful.
Again, THANK YOU. (:
Crap!! I didn't notice this chapter when i read chapter 7!! I missed so much!! I already know whats going to happen anyway
ReplyDeleteYay, thanks for the chapie! Two mistypes though; second to last paragraph "...in complete agreement agreed with Avery's assessment"? Agreement agreed is a little redundant. The other mistake is "Even though he was currently his hostage... It was impossible to knows the thoughts of someone like him even with telepathic abilities." That should be "know" not "knows".
ReplyDeleteLove you peoples.
