Lucy fell to her knees as she didn’t know what to do. She felt frustrated and sad. She didn’t know what to do now. But she knew if she doesn’t do anything, she might not make it into his life.
For the first time in her life, she felt this vulnerable. Even when she got banished from her planet, she wasn’t feeling this vulnerable but at this moment, she felt like there was no one in this world to support her.
“Mommy, what are you doing here?”
Her eyes narrowed as she raised her head and saw Ely standing in front of her. Just when she wiped away her tears and tried to find an excuse, Ely stretched out her hand and said.
“Mommy, if you keep crying out here, you won’t win. You have to work hard and capture daddy’s heart. Let’s go inside.”
Her eyes widened when she heard it from her daughter. She thought Ely would feel insecure if she saw shows her tears but the result was quite opposite of what she thought.
Her daughter was actually cheering for her. She didn’t understand what changed. She didn’t know but she felt a sting in her heart as if someone has pierced it with a needle.
But after a few seconds, she shook her head as a smile appeared on her smiles.
“Alright Ely, you must cheer for your mommy to win.”
“Hehe! I will.” Ely giggled as she took Lucy inside. Brian was standing in front of the door. He was quite worried about involving Ely in this situation but knowing that this would affect her future, he decided to give it a shot.
Seeing the daughter and the mother coming inside with a smile, he rubbed his hair and turned around. A bright smile appeared on his lips.
The party continued and only after Adam, Ely, Wraith, and Lily fell asleep, did the party end. Brian went to sleep with Charlotte. Lucy was given a room and the same goes for Lena.
For some reason, Lena had no prejudice against Lucy. In fact, she was blending in properly.
After half an hour, Brian was lying on the bed with his chest bare naked. Charlotte was sleeping next to him with her body covered by a blanket.
“Do you think it was a good idea to let Ely help her?” Brian asked.
Charlotte opened her eyes and then her mouth.
“She is her mother after all. There is nothing wrong with helping her own mother. Since she will be staying here with us, you can take it slow. If you fall in love with her, then there will be no problem.”
“It’s easier said than done. I already have you. For me, to fall in love with another woman is harder than developing it. Even with Lena, I don’t feel any affection. I only allowed her to go with the flow because she became my spirit.” Brian sighed and answered.
“Then, there is no need to worry too much. She is the mother of your child after all. If she can understand love, we can eventually accept her.” Although she said with ease, her tone was sour.
“When you said those things to her, you did for Ely, right?” Brian asked.
“Although Ely has started treating me as some close to her, I am not her mother. I can never be no matter what I do. So, I decided to be her loved ones and help her get together with her mother.”
“But, you know what happened with future Ely. If she still keeps her pride and jealousy, Ely will go through the same consequences. After all, you can’t abandon your family to keep yourself safe.” Charlotte chuckled.
Brian smiled and said “You are right. That’s the thing my father taught me. Even if you die, make sure to keep your child alive. That version of mine didn’t do anything wrong.”
“If he wanted, he could save himself. But if he wanted to save himself and his daughter as well, he would’ve to eliminate you and her. So, he chose to sacrifice himself. He hoped that his sacrifice will help you two stop fighting.”
“Unfortunately, it didn’t happen. Tragedy struck and our daughter was left alone with a sister. Charlotte, let’s do everything we can to change that future. Let’s keep our family safe and strong.”
?(O)??? “Yes!” Charlotte nodded her head. Finally, two of them fell asleep.
…….
Somewhere in the unknown galaxy,
“Lord, you called me?” A man wearing golden armor kneeled in front of a chair. There was a person sitting on the chair but it was turned opposite.
“Egloris, I have a task for you. I have sent the coordinates to your system. Go to that planet, find and kill ‘Elenor Bathory’ ‘Lucy Bathory’ and ‘Charlotte …Jackson’. But no matter what, do not mortally hurt an individual name ‘Brian Jackson’.”
The man in the golden armored nodded his head and said “I shall follow your Command, Lord. But Lord, what if that man comes in my way. How should I react?”
“Hmm….. If he can kill you, then use everything in your powers to kill those three. But, if he can’t then after killing them, just return. Though make sure to take that underling who works for CHA and kill him there.”
“His death will trigger CHA against the earth which is the main reason why I am sending you there. No matter what, complete this task properly.”
The man in the golden armor nodded his head and stood up.
“Then, I shall return after completing the task.”
Slowly, the chair turned around as the face of the man sitting on it got revealed. It was quite ordinary like a human. But, those blue eyes and golden hair made him quite different.
He possessed an intense aura around him. As the man in golden armor left the room, a big smile appeared on his lips.
“Steve, you left this world without even giving me access to those things you created. But, you still left your son in this world. Since the father can’t pay the debt, his son must pay instead.”
“After those girls die, I bet he will crumble into absolute misery. To save the planet, no, to save himself, he will run and once he stumbles against the opponent, he can’t face, I will save.”
“Hahahaha! Steve, your son will be a great pawn to give me the ultimate weapons of the universe. You hid them because you didn’t trust me. But, unfortunately, your son will trust me.”
“Because you won’t be there to tell him what is truth and what is false. Now, all I have to do is wait.”
His eyes turned serious as he laid his head on the chair and looked at the ceiling. On the ceiling, there was a map.
It was a map of the universe, with several red dots indicating different places of the universe. At this moment, someone knocked on his door in a hurry.
“Come in!” He spoke with an irritated tone.
The knight wearing silver armor came in and kneeled down.
“S-s-s-sir, Supreme Lords from Time Corps are outside, demanding to meet you.”
His eyes squinted.
“Oh! Those old geezers finally find who hacked their system. Well, this is going to be a little tricky.”
Saying so, he left the room. As he walked toward the hall, he saw three people floating in the air. They looked like humans with two heads on the sides and their skin was completely blue.
“So, what do I owe the pleasure of seeing Supreme Time Lords?” The man spoke with an arrogant tone.
“Dragon Lord, you have violated the rules of Time Corps. We are here to detain your authority.” One of the men in the middle spoke. All three of his heads spoke at the same time.
“Oh yeah! Try me” Dragon Lord smirked as an astonishing power burst out of him. The next moment, the entire solar system-sized spaceship disappeared, leaving only four people in space.
Boom!
The next moment, the entire galaxy shook, and countless nearby planets were destroyed. Unfortunately, nobody could find the result of this battle.
……
On Earth,
It was the next day after Ely’s Birthday. Ely, Wraith, Adam, and Lily went to the academy. Charlotte and Lena were busy in the kitchen. Lucy did nothing but sit on the sofa while sipping tea.
As for Brian, he had entered his room.
“Lily, awaken the ‘Sleepy Dragon’. Utilize the Absolute power core, maintaining the power supply for the entire year.”
Saying so, he put the Google in his eyes and walked in front of an empty table. Dozens of mechanical arms stretched down, a fifth-dimensional metal ore was in one of those hands.
“I don’t know who is targeting me. Hopefully, those Supreme Lords have found that person. But even so, I won’t take risks. It’s time to raise my strength to the unimaginable level through technology.”
Brian smashed his fists together as a big smile appeared on his lips.
“It’s time to create the ultimate weapon of the universe.”
