Inspector Lui stood up, a warm smile tugging at the corner of his lips as Dr. Sun approached him. He extended a hand, his eyes beaming with blessedness."Thanks for coming," Inspector Lui said, pulling out a chair for her.It'll be the first time in a very long time that inspector Lui has asked a lady out. He's been so busy with his job as a CIA agent that he had forgotten that there comes a time in a man's life when he'll need to find the perfect woman for him.His recent encounters with Dr. Sun at the hospital over Serpens's case had made him realize that there was indeed a heart within him that also yearned for love and affection."Of course," Dr. Sun replied, taking a seat. "I’ve been sulking all day in the house and I really needed something to take me out of the house,” she admitted, a playful smile tugged at the corners of her lips. “Really?” Inspector Lui's surprise was palpable.“Yeah, yeah,” Dr. Sun smiled. “So what are we having?” She went further to ask.“Let's see what t
It's been exactly two weeks since Serpens fought with Winter and got badly beaten up. Rose was still in the hospital as her only chance of ever waking up to see the light of a new day rested on Serpens finding the draconic gem.School had been hectic that fateful day. They've had a lot of practicals and new projects to attend to. Professor Layton had gone on a sabbatical leave to meet his wife and daughter who stayed in another city.As Serpens walked home from class one fateful evening after a stressful day, his mind was only preoccupied with the day's lessons and upcoming assignments. Coming close to the corner of his street, he heard loud screams.“Help! Help!!” Came the scream.He quickly rushed to see what was happening.“A strange creature had set the place on fire.” He heard the people say as his attention was suddenly drawn to a chaotic scene. A house, engulfed in flames, sending thick plumes of smoke billowing into the sky. The acrid smell of burning wood and the frantic sho
As Serpens lay on his bed that night, he couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that gnawed within him. He had no idea that Winter would go to such lengths to show off his powers. He missed his own powers and wondered if the day will ever come when he'll have them fully back again.Just then, his phone buzzed and it was a call from Mr. Leonardo. They've been waiting for him to call and tell them how his fishing expedition had gone.Mr. Xian had been waiting for his delivery and Serpens was their only hope.“Hello, Serpens,” Mr. Leonardo began. “What about the fish you promised to deliver yesterday? The client is waiting.” He stressed.Serpens eyes opened wide. He didn't know how to tell him that he had failed to catch the fish because he was unable to transform to his dragonic form.But, all the same, he knew he had no choice but to tell him that he was unable to get the prided catch and they should possibly look for someone else to help them with it.“I'm sorry Mr. Leonardo,” Serpen
Inspector Lui's drove to Dr. Sun's house that evening, a feeling of excitement washing over him. The steets were quiet that evening, the street lights casting a warm glow along path.As he neared Dr. Sun's house, a flutter of nervousness filled his stomach. He hadn't felt that way in a long time, and the anticipation of seeing her made his heart race.He just couldn't deny the fact that Dr. Sun had touched a part of him that he never really believed he had. It was like, the mere thought of her was enough to put a smile on his face. He pulled up to her driveway taking a moment to recollect himself before stepping out of the car. Walking up to the door, he knocked gently. “I'm coming,” the voice from inside responded. It was Dr. Sun, her beautiful feminine voice resonating with the gentle hum of cicadas providing a soothing background melody.Within moments, the door opened and there stood Dr. Sun, looking radiant in her elegant evening dress. Her smile was warm, her eyes sparkling wi
Inspector Lui and Dr. Sun sat together, hands intertwined. It was like the time should just stand still and never end. They shared another beautiful kiss, enveloped by the romantic atmosphere surrounding them. They went further to talk about Serpens and how he was dealing with the fact that his powers were no longer with him.“I hope he is handling it well?” Dr. Sun said, her voice gentle and filled with genuine concern.“Serpens is a strong kid. He'll pull through. I know his powers will return.” Inspector Lui replied.“You think so?”“I know so,”After another couple of minutes, it was time for Inspector Lui to return home.He took Dr. Sun's hands in his, staring into her beautiful eyes. It was completely Magic. He felt lost in them.“We'll see again, maybe weekend.” Inspector Lui said, his eyes filled with warmth and affection.Dr. Sun nodded, “Yes we will.”She hugged him the tightly, her head resting on his well built masculine frame, as she listened to his heart beat with the r
Inspector Lui arrived at the water fountain in Brookville where inspector Chan had summoned him to. From where he parked his car, how could tell that all was not well.The scene was chaotic , with the flashing light of police cars casting eerie shadow over the gathered crowd. Panic was written in the faces of the few people who were around.Yellow crime scene tape cardoned off the area, and the murmur of concerned voices filled the air. “This is terrible!” A concerned passerby exclaimed.Pushing his way through the throng of onlookers, inspector Lui's heart sank as he approached the centre of the commotion. There, lying on the ground, was a young man was a young man, his lifeless body splayed out in a gruesome display.“Oh my God!” He exclaimed, as he beheld the lifeless form on the ground. His heart had been ripped to pieces, a whole left there to let everyone know what had been done.A knot tightened up in his stomach as he noticed a distinctive mark on the man's chest - a skull cru
Winter stood in the shadowed alley, his impatience evident as he waited for Yul who had called him requesting that they meet up. Yul had been fed up with Winter's recent behaviour. He doesn't return calls, replies messages or even attend meetings. If there was something Yul hated so much, it was being taken for granted and that was Winter was doing with his recent conduct.Yul approached with a determined look on his face. He was ready to bash Winter and to tell him that he was no longer part of the group since his loyalty was no longer to the group but to himself."Winter," Yul began, his voice steady but laced with frustration, "we need to talk. You've been ignoring our mission, abandoning the group. What happened to our plan to take down the Serpens? This wasn't the initial plan. You've become insensitive and disloyal to us."Winter's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint appearing in their depths. He remained silent, letting Yul's words hang in the air. The tension grew palpable, and
Xin who had always been plagued by her nightmares, started having them once again. The nightmares had actually started when she was a kid but old man Xue, decided to suppress them using a powerful serum which he stumbled upon during his days of adventures.It was during those adventures that he met a strange lady who told him that his only daughter would give birth to a child, a powerful daughter who will play a major role in restoring peace and balance to the world.On the day that Xin was born, it had rained heavily with flashes of lighting and ferocious roaring thunder. It was a time that Old man Xue would never forget in a hurry. Not because, a new member was added to his family, but because it was the day he lost his only daughter Nana.When Xin began to grow up and the nightmares began to come, he went back to the woman who had told him the prophecy about his granddaughter to help him put an end to it. The woman gave him a special serum but told him a time will come when the ser
