The shoot was a wrap - up. Laquan reminded Sophie to get things done on her own end too before leaving. "Boss?. Don't you think we should find an hotel to lodge at?. It's 3pm now. It would be 8pm in America. You won't be able to get anything done again too. You and I both look tired so.." "Let's just go, Oscar. What time do people go clubbing?" "8 or 9pm. Why do you wanna know about that,boss?. Did you found a girl you wanna go clubbing with?" "If people can go clubbing by 9pm,then why is it so bad for us to get back home by 8pm?" "Ahhh..well,the ride from the port to Louisville is another distance,thus, another time. It's 9pm,not 8pm." "All the same,let's move." ~ Six hours later. . "So, how was the meeting with your grandma?"Oscar enquired while they were on the road, heading to the mansion. "Cool. I think I've found the right people; my grandma and my mother."Quan grinned. "You reconciled with your mother?"Oscar asked. "I wouldn't do that even if I were at the
~ Five hours later. .. Laquan got out of the helicopter and stared around. Oscar and the head gaurd who had insisted to follow him as it was his duty to protect Laquan also stepped out. Laquan looked around in confusion. This place shouldn't be so. He remembered the dressings of him and other people back then were done in a traditional way. This place isn't at all a traditional city but a modern one. What's happening? They took a cab to a bookstore. Laquan grabbed about five books on history before going to settle down on a chair. He slammed the books down on the desk. "Boss, what are we doing?. Shouldn't we be heading to a palace now?"Oscar inquired. Laquan kept mute. He flipped through the pages of the first book while grating the words quickly with his eyes. He put the book aside after he'd turned to the last page and still got nothing. He grabbed another book and flicked past the pages too. He took the third book,then the fourth book. He breathed out in relief wh
The truck reversed immediately and sped off. *Holy moly!!* *What the hell?!* *Call an ambulance!!* The people around yelled. .. An ambulance arrived at the scene and the four of them were wheeled inside an ambulance each. Laquan's eyes flickered. He struggled to keep it open as the stretcher he was on was pulled hurriedly inside the van. "Nine stars.."he muttered under his breath. He saw nine stars in the sky. He breathed out, heavily. An oxygen plastic was placed on his nose down to his mouth. "I am going to send you far away.."he heard beside him. He turned and found a blurry vision of the master. He took a deep breath in before his eyes finally closed. .. "Scholar Kim?"a deep voice called. Laquan's eyes opened. He raised them up. "The emperor is ready to receive you. You may now go in."the guard bowed. Quan stared at his body and realized he has jumped into a different body aside from his. He gazed around and saw he was in a palace's surrounding. He felt some
Ava's eyes traveled over to him and he threw her a quizzical look. She crumpled up her face at him before turning away. Oh, right. He is in a scholar Kim body now so she wouldn't recognize him. But,what the hell is happening there?. If anything,he is good at reading facial expressions and he could point out that she wasn't pleased to be in that room. Was her family killed along the others? Then,she was kept there as an empty princess?. The emperor noticed Laquan's gaze was on Ava. He glared at her. "Scholar Kim, those are my beautiful three daughters."he gestured at his biological daughters. "Just turn a blind eye to the fourth one. She is nothing but a war booty. Guard! Take her away!"he ordered. He didn't told them to bring her along with his girls before. "You should just let her stay,your Majesty."Laquan said. "What?"the emperor asked. "Oh,pardon me if I overstepped my boundary right there. What I am trying to say is to let her stay since she is already here."Q
Edinburgh. (In an operating theatre.) ... The beeping of the machines filled the operating theatre. The surgeon's eyes fell on the red line on the monitor screen and he panicked. "His respiratory rate is dropping. Let's finish this quickly. We need to save him at all costs." he breathed heavily. "Doc, I don't think we're going to make it. He's already lost a lot of blood. We should just give up at this point."said one of his assistants in the room. "And you call yourself a doctor? You're going to give up without even trying?" the surgeon scoffed as he sewed Quan's stomach back together. "We only have five minutes..." "Damn! Those five minutes,which you already assumed would end in his death, could save him! Get to work,you quack!"he spat. .. Laquan's eyebrows raised at Kim's mother. "Da..ad?" he chuckled. "He..wants to see me?. But why?" His mother narrowed her eyes. "Have you been drinking at the palace? You used to be very excited when your father calls you
Laquan had his food in his room. He wondered where he was. He remembered a truck hitting them. Is he okay in the present time now?. Or will he be trapped in ninety - ninety - eight forever? His breathing became labored and he closed his eyes. Oscar and his other guard were also with him. He only hoped that they were okay. He'd better hurry up and get back to his normal self. He stepped out and called for a servant. "Can you make me some chocolate?" he asked. The girl's thick eyebrows furrowed. "Cho..co..what?,master?" Laquan's face crumpled. "Cho.co.late. Don't tell me you don't know that?. It doesn't exist here?"scoffed Laquan. "Oh, I get it now. Chocolate."She nodded. Laquan scoffed. Is her brain not working well?. "I'll go buy that at the market."she said. Laquan nodded and picked up the book on the table in front of him. "Well?"he looked up at her when he realized she was still standing there. "You need to give me money to buy that, master."She pursed her lips
Laquan's breathing became seized. How did she spot him?. What kind of eyes are those staring at him?. "The people at the palace must have taught you some etiquette." she said,pulling her gaze away from him. Laquan punched his chest,softly and,repeatedly, before blowing out an air in relief. "Get me three small boxes. Nice ones." he requested. "What are you going to use them for?. Don't tell me you're going to split the chocolate in three and make one for Wednesday, one for Thursday, and one for Friday? Wow, you've never been prudent with food. What has come over you,master?"she put her hand on her chin. "The chocolate is for three women. Now go.." "Are you starting a polygamous family?"she interjected. Laquan sighed in frustration. "No. It's for...my fiancée and her two younger siblings."he lied. "Oooh, I see. I can't be less happy that you've found someone to share your life's burdens with."She jumped up. "The sooner you get married, the sooner I will be free of your end
"Gentlemen, gentlemen. Listen to me. I was sent by scholar Kim. You can ask the princess what..." Christine tried to explain as they dragged her inside. She clutched the cloth that held the boxes to her chest,panting heavily. "Don't you know scholar Kim?. How can you be so rude to the servant he sent?"she remarked. "We might as well charge you with slandering Scholar Kim." one replied,grumpily. Damn it! She had agreed to come to the palace because of an handsome guard she had bumped into at the market. She thought coming here would give her another chance to see him. Damn! "Who's there?" a voice sounded behind them. They stopped dragging her. "Good evening, sir." the two men greeted. The man behind them just nodded, his eyes on Christine. "And who is that?" he nudged his head at her. "She's just a random girl trying to lie her way into the palace. She said Scholar Kim sent her here,but we know he would never send someone this late." The man tilts his head to the s
