Chapter 97 - Shocked!!

"Serious?? no one ever said that to you?" Lucas asked Yeda who now shook his head in response,

"You were the first to meet me and say that my name was the most beautiful of all, you said that.. and now you're saying it again, so you're still the first one to do it!" Yedda explained to Lucas who was now frowning, not understanding what Yedda was saying to him. And that was understood by Yeda who laughed again at that and then said,

"I'm so happy because you said that my name is the prettiest, and then I gave you lots of stars for it!" Yedda explained to Lucas who was suddenly shocked and remembered the memory.

"Oh…. right, I now remember it!" Lucas explained to Yedda who was now smiling in response to Lucas' words at that time. And made Lucas now turn to look at him and smile back at him.

"Ok… we will have a meeting before dinner arrives!" Nick's words at that time interrupted them, which made them turn their gazes to Nick and simultaneously walked over to Nick who was now sitting on the sofa. And that's what Yedda and Lucas did.

"What are we going to talk about now, Nick?" Marla asked Nick who now exhaled and took out an hourglass which had a circle symbol with twelve lines on each side. Which made them all stunned to see it.

"Is this the last stellar thing we should look for?" a question that was asked by Vernon at that moment made Elizabeth now nod her head, helping Nick answer the question.

"Yeah… this is his thing, we have to find its owner before the others find it just like the guy who tricked us on that hill!" Nick explained to them all, and it took them by surprise.

"Do you know the meaning of the emblem itself?" Kendrick asked Nick who was now shaking his head at that,

"I don't know, neither do Zach and Lizbeth!" Nick explained to Kendrick which of course made Queen frown and then look at Elizabeth saying,

"You don't know what this crest means Lizbeth?" Queen asked Elizabeth who now nodded her head and then said,

"Yeah, I can't see it… maybe not yet!" Elizabeth explained to Queen who became confused by this, while Lucas was now walking towards the table to grab the hourglass and stared at it intently.

Seeing this, made Wilson now turn to look at him and then say,

"Do you know or remember anything, Lucas?" The question that was asked by Wilson at that time, made them all now turn to look at Lucas who then shook his head and said,

"I don't know, but… I know exactly the person who can interpret this emblem!" Lucas explained to all of them which then made Lucas turn his head to look at Aidan who smiled and nodded his head.

Lucas' gaze now quickly turned to Nick,

"Nick! Give me some time… Aidan and I are going to ask someone the meaning of this emblem!" Lucas said to Nick who was now frowning and then nodded his head in response to that.

"Are you going with Aidan?" Wilson asked Lucas who now turned to look at him and nodded,

"I'll take him because I'm afraid I'm running out of energy, and he's the only one who can heal and restore me, Wilson!" Lucas explained, which made Nick nod his head in response and then say,

"Go… we have our hopes on you and Aidan!" said Nick to Lucas who now nodded his head while carrying the hourglass and then stretched his hand towards Aidan who was now walking towards him and finally they disappeared from the sight of the nine people in the room at this time.

Wow!!

"..." Silence, the condition of the room was now silent, Queen's gaze was now looking at all of them who looked worried, and made her finally say,

"Well… so, shall we just stay here? Or preparing for dinner?" a question asked by Queen at that time made Marla and Yedda nod, while Elizabeth now smiled and left her place.

"Okay… you guys play and talk, let the ladies cook! Ah... I need you Zach!" said Elizabeth who was now exhaling with a smile and nodded her head,

"I know you're going to need me, come on!" said Zach walked first to the kitchen, and the women followed his lead to cook, while the men who were there now looked at each other, then Wilson grabbed the monopoly game and said,

"Do you guys want to play this with me?" he asked Vernon, Kendrick, and Nick, who was now staring back at Wilson with their flat faces.

"Oh! Come on… I just want to have fun before getting into anything serious!" said Wilson to those who were now simultaneously approaching him and sitting down as what Wilson was doing at the moment.

"Alright… do it!" Vernon said to Wilson who was now smiling and opening the game box,

"Eum… I want to ask for an explanation on how to play! Tell me because I don't understand this game!" Nick explained to the three of them who were now looking at him.

"Serious?? You never played it, Nick?!" asked Vernon, which made Nick exhale and nod his head there.

…

Meanwhile, Lucas and Aidan are now in an apartment which of course brings questions from Aidan who is now looking at Lucas but doesn't dare to ask him, realizing that it made Lucas turn his gaze to Aidan as he spoke.

"This is the professor's apartment, Aidan! He gave me his address a while ago!" Lucas said to Aidan who was now nodding his head, and Lucas knocked on the apartment door.

Knock...knock...knock...

He knocked on the apartment door, but there was no reply from the professor, which of course made Lucas turn to look at his watch, which was then seven o'clock in the evening.

"Is he not home?" Lucas muttered as he knocked on the door again, and that made Aidan wait for him and occasionally turn his eyes to the right and left to realize that the apartment was very quiet.

"Are you sure this is his apartment, Lucas?" asked Aidan who was now nodding his head in response to Aidan's question at that time,

"Yeah… I heard right… this is the place!" Lucas explained to Aidan who was now nodding his head and then said again,

"Okay if that's true, but… why does he have a house on the fiftieth floor, when he's so old? Doesn't he know altitude?" Aidan asked again which now made Lucas annoyed to hear it and turned to look at Aidan quickly, and before Lucas spoke to Aidan, the door opened and made both of them turn their heads towards the door.

"Professor?" Lucas called to someone who was in there, but there was no sound from inside the apartment, which made Lucas and Aidan look at each other, and made Lucas slowly open the apartment door.

"!!"

Lucas and Aidan were very surprised when they found something in the apartment, which they never expected before.

…

"AHH!!"

"HAHAHAHAHA, you have to pay for it again!" Wilson shouted to Vernon who was now exhaling as his pawn stepped into the territory that Wilson had controlled at that time. However, the rules remained the rules, which made Vernon immediately pay the price of the rent provided by the monopoly regulation.

Unlike Wilson, Kendrick, and Vernon who was having fun playing, Nick now occasionally turned his gaze to the wall clock to look at the clock, as if he was waiting for Lucas and Aidan to arrive there.

Realizing that Nick looked nervous, Kendrick, who realized it, finally asked.

"What's wrong Nick?" Kendrick asked Nick who now turned his gaze back to the three people who were now looking at him curiously, and that made Nick shake his head at that and then say,

"Huh? No… I'm just feeling a little worried about Lucas as well as Aidan!" Nick explained to them who was now frowning and then saying,

"No… don't worry, they'll be fine!" Wilson explained to Nick who was now nodding his head in response to Wilson's words at that time. However, unexpectedly the four of them were surprised when Lucas appeared hitting the table in the room where Nick and the others were. He hit the table pretty hard with the stab wound he sustained. Which of course surprised Nick, Wilson, Kendrick, and Vernon.

"Lucas!!" said Wilson immediately ran to him who was now wincing in pain. Nik, Kendrick, and Vernon also followed Wilson's footsteps towards Lucas.

"Lucas! What happened?!" Wilson asked Lucas who was still wincing in pain, Nick turned to look at his knife-stabbed stomach.

"Wilson, he's hurt!" said Nick to Wilson who was now looking at his wound.

"Lizbet! Lizbet!!" called Wilson loudly, while Vernon now looked around when he didn't find Aidan around them at this time.
