From night to dawn, the blinding light after crossing the twilight line was deafening. Ace, severely injured and having not slept all night, bit his tongue hard to clear his mind. The taste of blood mixed with saliva slid into his body, making him feel nauseous.
Realizing he was experiencing weightlessness, Ace guessed he was already descending, but was still in the clouds and couldn't see how far he was from the ground.
He's already starting to miss his mother.
Jiang Shuyin went to bed late and got up late, and didn't realize until the afternoon that Ace wasn't home.
She asked Heimei, who shook her head vigorously, saying, "I don't know, I didn't see it this morning."
Xing Zhengfei's eyes flickered as he looked at his calm and composed father beside him, and he also calmed down.
The person is no longer here, and there's no evidence, so just deny it.
Ace would occasionally go to play with a classmate surnamed Wang, and Jiang Shuyin never suspected that the child would go so far away. But when it was 10 p.m., she felt something was wrong and pushed open the door to ask Xing Zhengfei, "Has Ace not come back yet?"
Xing Zhengfei sat up, forcing himself to remain calm: "No."
It's so comfortable to sleep in a bed all by myself. This room has no windows, it's like it was made just for me.
Jiang Shuyin searched around but couldn't find anyone, so she had to ask Xie Yin: "Ace is missing. Do you know where he went?"
Xie Yin quickly replied: I know, I saw him go to the west with my own eyes.
Jiang Shuyin stared at the line of text in a daze, thinking to herself: Could it be that Ace went to find Aifuli?
She also bought Ace a cell phone, but she couldn't get through to him, which made her very anxious.
At two o'clock in the morning, Jiang Shuyin received a message. After reading it, her heart sank, and she turned off the screen and let out a long breath.
—Mom, I'm going to find my biological father. Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself.
After sending the message and waiting for a while without receiving a reply, Ace could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep against the stone wall. The moonlight shone on the stone wall, but could not detect the person hiding inside.
The night passes without a trace, and the long day hangs in the sky.
Ace slept inside the stone wall for a full day and night. He woke up groggily at dusk, unable to ignore the hunger in his stomach, and smelled the aroma of meat in the air.
There are people nearby.
The stone wall is a monotonous gray color, like a pile of jagged stones. The terrain is not too steep and not too difficult to climb over, but you have to be careful of the sharp edges that can scratch your clothes and skin.
The moon had not yet risen.
He hid behind the highest stone wall, observing his surroundings. In the twilight, the boundless lake shimmered with golden scales, and mushroom-shaped white mounds dotted the plain. The aroma of meat wafted from there.
Patrols were on the flat ground, and Ace noticed that their guards were very strict. Unless something unexpected happened, such a team would not have any loopholes.
He thought for a moment, then condensed an ice ball one meter in diameter and pushed it from another cliff into the lake.
"Bang--"
The sound of the ice hockey puck hitting the water was quite loud, and since this was a basin, the sound was amplified twice as much. Two patrol teams were alerted and ran over to investigate.
Ace thought to himself: The opportunity has arrived.
He rolled down the rock face, protecting his head, and lay on the ground to hide in a small depression. Fortunately, it was still dark. After a few struggles, he finally got close to the largest white tent.
"Madam, the chief specially asked us to cook this porridge. You've been vomiting a lot, so eating something light will help."
After a brief silence, a weak female voice replied, "I can't eat anything. Where is the leader?"
"I heard that the Second Madam had a stomachache, so the Chief went to visit her."
The woman sneered, her tone hardening: "Go ahead, tell him my stomach hurts too, and see if he comes over."
Gu Xiao felt truly pathetic. She had fallen for a rotten cucumber and desperately tried to get pregnant with his child, only to find that some slut had followed in her footsteps and gotten pregnant too.
Relying on Gu Xiao's influence, the maid had a smooth journey and successfully summoned the leader.
Ace sensed danger and quickly held his breath, crouching in the shadow of a small box inside the tent.
"Does your stomach hurt too?" The leader sat down next to Gu Xiao and naturally put his arm around her waist. When Gu Xiao was touched there, the color drained from her face immediately. She twisted her body, trying to break free, but the leader's eyes darkened, and he pressed her down: "Don't move, be careful of the baby in your belly."
Gu Xiaozhen wanted to spit at him, you old lecher: "Is the child more important or am I?"
The leader was unusually silent. In the past, he would have thought without a doubt that the child was more important than the woman. But now he realized that he could never get tired of this woman. Perhaps he had truly met his lover in middle age.
Thinking of this, Elikun pulled her into his arms and stroked her soft hair with his large hand: "You are important. I already have the child, Avery. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the next leader of Schuler. He doesn't hate you. If I'm not here, he will take good care of you and the child."
Gu Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at him: "Why aren't you here?"
Her current superpowers are just for show; she doesn't know how she would survive without Elikun.
"Hahahaha, this is just a hypothetical situation." Eliquin thoroughly enjoyed the woman's concern, feeling as comfortable as if he had won a battle: "Perhaps there will be a tough battle that we have to fight."
The current environment has a calm before the storm.
His eldest son, Alfred, was so outstanding that he restored Schuler's technology to 20% of its previous level with limited resources on Earth, something Eliquin believed he could only achieve 10%.
However, the universe also follows the law of conservation of energy; for every gain, there is a loss.
Mentioning this topic, Gu Xiao's jealousy subsided, and she sighed and muttered, "What if Avery prefers your concubine?"
She had heard that the bitch's brother was one of Avery's men.
