Arc 5 – Slag that Dark Sentinel
Chapter 128

The leader had anticipated such an order, but he was still reluctant to do it. Although everyone here are extremists, there was still a difference between how crazy they can get. He had joined the group because he wanted to enjoy the pleasure of killing, not kidnapping and hurting a child less than five years old.

To do something and to not do something, even as a extremist, he still had some principles he abided to. He wasn’t like the man in front of him who would do anything to achieve his goals.

The leader was silent for a second before replying calmly, “I can’t do it. That child is Leopold’s son and besides Leopold, there is also a deeply hidden guide. That family of three always go around together and there is only one of me. I won’t be able to succeed.”

After saying those words in one breath, the leader thought he would be beaten and scolded but only the man’s expression darkened a few degrees as if he recalled some unpleasant memories. After a long silence, he reached out and opened a virtual screen.

He pulled up information about all the members of the Grenoch family and quickly screened out the useless ones before stopped at a photo of a man in a military uniform.

Rubbing his chin, he asked, “Who is this person?”

“The eldest son of the Grenoch family and also an illegitimate child. He is in the military.”

After a pause, the leader added another two lines, “He and Leopold are known to be mortal enemies. He has always wanted to replace Leopold.”

That man immediately laughed, “Seems like this gentleman should be a good friend of ours.”

Tapping on the virtual screen, the man narrowed his eyes, “Find a way to bring this person over. No, invite him over.”

Faria was also a member of the Grenoch family so in the end, this person still wanted that child.

But as long as he didn’t ask him to get the child himself, the leader had no objections. He glanced at the person on the virtual screen indifferently and nodded, “Understood.”

The unexpected appearance of that strange creature didn’t attract too much of Joey’s attention and because Little Red and the black wolf didn’t show any reactions, Joey felt that he may have seen wrong or that it was just a non-threatening spiritual body.

As such, Joey didn’t tell his parents about it and it was only when he went to bed at night that he suddenly remembered.

He was lying on the bed and Chi Zhao was sitting next to him.

“Dad, I saw a very ugly spiritual body today.”

Chi Zhao raised a brow, “You didn’t say that in front of others, did you?”

Although children can be unrestrained when they speak, if someone was directly told by the child that their spiritual body was ugly, it could be quite hurtful.

Joey shook his head, “No, it was gone right after. I thought I saw wrong.”

Hearing that, Chi Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. He supported his chin, “Was it really ugly? Tell me, what did it look like?”

Joey’s ability to describe things was limited. He thought hard for a while before finally figuring out how to describe it, “It’s like a melted ice-cream with eyes that can also move.”

Chi Zhao: “……..”

That does sound quite bad.

Coming out of Joey’s room, Chi Zhao returned to his bedroom. Leo was sitting on the bed looking at something. Chi Zhao walked over and sat next to him, “Joey just told me he saw a particularly ugly spiritual body today. The description was very abstract. I didn’t really understand. Are there really creatures like that in this world…..”

But before he could tell him about the creature’s description, Leo brought a virtual screen over in front of him, “Do you think the wedding invitation design here looks good?”

Chi Zhao: “……”

It’s very impolite to be distracted when others are talking okay?!

Giving it a casual glance, Chi Zhao shook his head, “The colour is too serious. Change it to a brighter one.”

………

It takes three months to properly prepare a wedding. The chairman’s break was currently halfway through and the remaining time was exactly three months so by the time he was done with his leave, it would be his wedding.

When the speaker of the senate received the wedding invitation, he also received an application for a wedding leave and an application for a honeymoon leave. The application execution time was to start the moment his current annual leave ends.

Speaker: “……..”

Too shameless! How could someone be on break for eight months straight?!

If they were a private company, they would’ve fired an employee like that a long time ago!

Leo who was being complained about didn’t feel shameless at all. If he really wanted to be shameless then he would have also taken the paternity leave he had not taken when Joey was born and by then it wouldn’t be eight months and would be an entire year instead.

The speaker finally realised the importance of improving social welfare as proposed by the house of representatives last year. They were right. It was indeed not good for social welfare to be too developed because there would always be shameless people who would try and take advantage of it.

…….

Most of Leo’s acquaintances received an invitation. The older one gets, the stronger their desire to let everyone know of their marriage. If it weren’t for Chi Zhao stopping him, Leo would have also wanted to broadcast their wedding online to the entire world. After receiving the invitations, others were either surprised or emotional but no matter what mood it was, it all eventually turned into sincere blessing. Even the vice-chairman was no exception.

Those who received the invitation were like this, but it was different for those who didn’t receive one.

This was especially so for the Grenoch and Mayswen family.

As the family of the two grooms, no one in the family received an invitation. If anyone heard this, they would think that they were joking. The Mayswen family was okay, they comforted themselves with some dark thoughts and believed that Leo actually didn’t like Noah and only married Noah because he was dying and couldn’t find a suitable guide.

And since Noah had a child outside of wedlock, the two of them would suffer from a lot of rumours in the future. Their lives definitely wouldn’t be easy from here onwards.

In summary, they felt that there was nothing to be envious of. Although it may look bright and beautiful on the outside but who knew how much hardship there actually was on the inside?

After some self-comforting, the Mayswen family didn’t feel upset at all. On the other end, the Grenoch family wasn’t able to dismiss it that easily.

Leo had ignored them many times, but the other party still persisted. In the end, Chi Zhao couldn’t stand it anymore, “If you don’t ignore them, they will still come and find me. If it continues like that, it’s only going to get more complicated. Why don’t you talk to them properly and sort it out completely?”

Leo raised a brow, “Just like you?”

Chi Zhao shrugged, “If you want to, you can.”

Chi Zhao and the Mayswen family weren’t real family so he was able to easily cut off their relationship. Leo was different. He had feelings with those people, and he had been living in that circle for many years. He probably won’t be as resolute as Chi Zhao on this matter.

Two days ago, Chi Zhao had taken Joey to the Resident Information Centre and changed Joey’s name to Joey Grenoch. Leo watched him do this on the side without stopping him.

This basically meant that he still saw himself as a descendant of the Grenoch family and he just didn’t like his father who plays around.

Leo was silent for a while. He finally nodded, “I’ll go talk to him.”

“Should I go with you?”

Leo smiled, “No need, I can handle it myself. I also don’t want you to go there. Those people don’t deserve to see you.”

Leo would occasionally say arrogant words like this, but Chi Zhao had almost grown used to it. In any case, he didn’t really want to accompany him and had only asked out of politeness.

Chi Zhao replied naturally, “It’s fine if you don’t need me, I don’t have time to accompany you anyway. Tomorrow is the admission interview. I have to review with Joey.”

“How are you going to review……”

With Joey’s intelligence and skill, let alone review, he probably would be able to pass without even needing to prepare.

Chi Zhao glared at him, “It’s better to do it just in case. Being overly confident can sometimes backfire. Be careful or one day it will backfire onto you.”

Leo: “…….”

Chi Zhao was someone who would review for an exam for three months in advance for just a level four exam. For greater convenience when he goes abroad or when he goes into postgraduate studies, he had set himself a goal to get more than 600 points in the exam. He could originally get 600 points just doing it but to be extra certain, he reviewed furiously for three months.

If I’m so strict on myself, it’ll be the same for my son.

………

Early the next morning, Leo came to the Grenoch residence alone. The interview was in the afternoon. He had planned to get this sorted as quickly as possible and then going to join his wife and child.

Unlike the times before, Leo didn’t have a very cold attitude this time and instead looked more easy-going and approachable. He had originally thought that this meeting might turn out better than his previous attempts but contrary to his expectations, when Leo left, his father’s expression was still very unsightly.

Because of this, Leo’s mind was broadened. He already had a real family so there was no need to feel guilty about throwing away such a fake family here.

Standing at the door of the study and looking at Leo’s back, Leo’s father looked a lot older. At this moment he realised that he was really going to lose his son.

As he walked through the living room, Leo casually glanced at the person nearby. Faria was standing together with his parents with who knows what thoughts in his mind.

His hands behind his back were tightly clenched and it meant that he was currently making a very difficult choice. Leo never cared about this cheap older brother of his so he withdrew his gaze indifferently and then strode out the house.

That action of his fell into Faria’s eyes and a familiar feeling of neglect and indifference instantly struck Faria’s nerves.

That’s right. As long as Leopold was around, others would treat him like this. Just like air.

Looking darkly at the door, he loosened his clenched hands and soon after that, his expression also relaxed.

It was because he had already made his decision.

On the other end, at the Anthony School of Education in the noble district, Chi Zhao was stopped by a young and sunny man.

“Noah, I didn’t expect to see you here.”

Chi Zhao turned around but he didn’t know who the other party was. He could only vaguely respond, “Ah….long time no see. What are you doing here?”

That man smiled, “I have been working here since I graduated.”

After saying that, his gaze moved to Joey and the smile on his face deepened.

“Is this your child?”
