After Flynn left the room, Jack gazed out the window, unable to take his mind off Serpens. Something in him kept telling him that there was something strange about Serpens. He felt like he had seen him before from somewhere but couldn't quite put his finger on it.He couldn't shake the feeling that Serpens might be a threat to his plans, wondering where Rose knew him from. But one thing stood out for him and that was the fact that once the attack began, there would be no turning back. The future was his to shape, and nothing would stand in his way.Just as he was in deep thoughts, his phone rang and it was Kim Qingyue calling."Hello, Kim," he answered."Hey, Jack," Kim replied. "Do you have any plans tonight? I'd love us to meet." Jack paused for a moment, trying to put a thought on his schedule and to see if he'd be free for the night. "I think I'll be free tonight. You want us to meet?" He inquired."Yeah, it's been a while. I'm really sorry I couldn't make it to your party last
Jeremy hurried home, excitement bubbling within him after the successful repair of the time machine. He just couldn't wait to break the good news to his brother Flynn, whom he believed would be home already.As he entered the house, he saw Flynn on the phone, speaking in a hushed but serious tone. Deciding not to interrupt, he walked straight to where his grandmother was sitting, knitting by the window. He leaned down and gave her a kiss on the cheek."Had a good day, dear?" his grandmother asked with a warm smile, her eyes twinkling behind her glasses."Yes, Grandma," he replied, beaming. "It was amazing, actually."Flynn, having finished his phone call, approached him with a mix of curiosity and mild concern in his voice. "Where have you been?" he asked, trying to sound casual but clearly interested in his whereabouts.Jeremy grinned from ear to ear. "Just went out to help some new friends I made. They had a broken time machine and asked me to help fix it."Flynn raised an eyebrow,
Lan rubbed her hands on her eyes over and over again as she read the text message over and over again wondering who had sent it as the name of the sender wasn't displayed.She couldn't help but imagine how happy she'd be if the text message was actually telling the truth. Before the dragons broke lose five years ago, no one seemed to know what had happened to Serpens.It was like he just disappeared from the face of the earth. Every attempt to reach him proved futile. Even when she decided to ask Serena about his whereabouts, it turned out that it was too late as Serena had already been killed by the creatures.She tried calling back the number that had sent her the text message but it wasn't going through."Could Serpens really be alive?" She thought within himself.Kim arrived at the Brynner's cottage somewhere in the city. It appeared Jack had prepared very well for her coming. After their reunion at the Business Summit five years ago, they've been having their secret affair, start
Jeremy sat on the bed in his room, feeling a mix of excitement and disappointment. He had hoped Flynn would be more interested in what he was telling him about the time machine, but it appears that even his brother whom he had so much respected in matters of machines and technology, still didn't believe in the possibility of a time machine.But he was also eager to prove him wrong. He pulled out his notebook and began jotting down everything he had learned about the time machine, his thoughts racing as he planned for the next day's meeting.Going to the garage where he had been secretly working on his own time machine, he decided to put a few things in order, after seeing exactly how Serpens's father had designed his. After a while of trying to fix the problem within his own time machine, his mind suddenly fell to a book about machines and artificial intelligence. It was the exact book jr needed to modify the few things that needed modification within the time machine."Where could t
"Alright, let's just hope for the best," Serpens said as he dropped the call with Jeremy who had just told him the outcome of his meeting with Flynn. However, Jeremy was careful not to tell him about the document he had seen in Flynn's until he was sure that indeed, Flynn was planning something quite dangerous with Jack Brynner.Turning to his back, after he had dropped the call, he saw Tiara right behind him right there in the middle of the room, her presence both surprising and unsettling. Startled, he stepped back, looking directly at her. "Tiara? What are you doing here? How did you get in and how did you know I was here?"Tiara couldn't help but smile, a knowing look in her eyes. "I've been following you for some time now, Serpens. I know about the time machine, and I know everything that's happening."Serpens heart pounded in his chest as he listened to Tiara speak, reminding him of the bad old days from where he had come from, where Tiara had left him for Yul Brynner. "What d
Lan paced anxiously in the living room, waiting for her mother to return. After her meeting with Tiara that night, she couldn't help but see some elements of truth in her accusations.The house was eerily quiet, amplifying the tension that hung in the air. She had spent the entire evening wrestling with her thoughts, the revelation about her mother’s possible relationship with Jack Brynner gnawing at her.Her moon seemed to be going out very often and she knew quite well that she was going out on dates. Afterall, her mom was still young and beautiful, so it wasn't a surprise to her that men will still be chasing after her but the thought of her going out with Jack Brynner really didn't sit well with her.She had never really liked Jack as a person. She always saw him as a dishonest person who was only after his own selfish interests. His companies were always the target for one crime or the other and for one reason or the other, he always manages to get away with all the accusations.
"How's your research with Winter going?" Jack asked Flynn as they both came out of his office walking towards his car after the meeting with the stakeholders of the new project he was about launching."Fine sir, I just need to carry out a few more tests, then the serum will be ready. The SFX-chip and the serum should be ready for final activation by the end of the week." Flynn replied."Good! I think I'll have to go with you to the laboratory. It's time to pay Winter a surprise visit." Jack said, a sly smile tugged at the corners of his lips."Alright sir," Flynn replied, opening the door of the car for him to enter inside.The drive to the laboratory was a quick one that in no time, they were already there.As Jack made his entrance into the high-tech laboratory, he was fascinated with what he saw. It's been over a month since he visited the place and the last time he visited, not much progress has been made in the design of his dragonic creatures which he planned to use to write his
Jeremy lay on his bed staring at the ceiling, his mind racing as he thought about what kind of trouble Flynn was getting himself into. He had gone through the document which he found amongst his stuff earlier.He couldn't imagine what sort of evil Jack Brynner was planning to launch high tech built dragonic creatures into the world just so he could write his name in the sands of time.Feeling a knot of anxiety tightening in his stomach, he dialed Serpens number, having heard him talk about dragons and also being the only friend he had in Draketwon who doesn't bully him.As the phone rang, he glanced nervously around his room, the document clutched tightly in his hand. Finally, the call connected."Hello?" Serpens answered, surprised to receive a call from Jeremy."Hi, it's me," Jeremy said, trying to keep his voice steady."Yes, Jeremy, Why'd you call?" Serpens inquired."I, uh, found something. Something important." Jeremy replied, a slow breath exhaling out his nostrils."What's tha
