Chapter 371 Road to Korea

Chapter 371 Road to Korea

"..."

"But not everything is so bad, with your technology, I doubt you are helpless like others... for now they don't seem to know that you are the one who stole, but China saw you with that sword, while they are on good terms now, believe me they won't hesitate to send the notice about you."

"..." Staring at the screen for a few seconds, Christian shook his head and sighed "Good, I will triple the security on my family, property and vehicles, it wouldn't be entertaining to die from an unexpected bomb."

"I also recommend that your mother start working from home for a while, at least until you manage to identify every Templar."

"I'll talk to my whole family... I guess shopping days are over too, we'll hire people to buy everything..." Frowning as he continues to think, Christian sighs "And if I just blow up the Vatican again? Then they won't have time to bother."

"That would be a fun thing to watch" Laughing softly, Dimitri continued "Well, that was it son, I'll let you get some sleep, take care."

"Goodbye father, thanks for the warning" Hanging up the call, Christian looked at the TV for a few seconds and snorted, then walked to the bathroom and took a shower.

Entering his home, Christian sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, then walked over to the couch and lay down wearily.

Turning his gaze to the moon, Christian closed his eyes and murmured "When at last everything seems like the burden of reducing, something new comes out to complicate your life..."

"You came back..." Entering the living room while rubbing her eyes tiredly, Elisa smiled towards Christian and murmured.

"What are you doing up so late?" opening her arms, Christian smiled softly and asked.

"I was waiting for you..." Sitting on Christian's legs, Elisa wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder "You have to go to sleep early... tomorrow you have to travel."

"I know" Gently kissing Elisa's head, Christian continued "Elisa... I'll have to limit them a bit".

"Why?" Without getting the least bit angry, Elisa asked softly, as she gently toyed with Christian's hair.

"I got into trouble with the church and things will be a bit tense in the future, I don't want to put them at risk so I want to ask them not to leave the house... I will hire staff for all the shopping they need and at the same time I will increase the security in the house."

"Wouldn't it be better if we went to the island?"

Raising his eyebrows, Christian asked "You wouldn't mind going?"

"Why would I mind? I've lived there for almost a year now and I have fond memories, not to mention our baby was born there."

"Do you think Sarah would mind?"

"Sarah is fine anywhere as long as no one bothers her" Laughing softly, Elisa continued "I also think it would be nice for our little girl to go out somewhere outside of this house, the island has mountains and a lot to go around."

"Well... actually much of the island is under construction, but I have a few mansions in noise free zones, so there won't be any problems"

"As long as we can take a burden off you, wherever is fine" Gently kissing Christian's cheek, Elisa whispered.

"Don't say they are a burden, they know they are my only reason to live" Gently kissing Elisa's forehead, Christian continued "I'll send mom and those two unruly ones to the island too...we also have to plan a birthday for Helen, it's getting very close now"

"Mn" Nodding softly, Elisa continued "I'll make her cake".

"I'll help you" Leaning back gently on the sofa, Christian hugged Elisa and whispered.

"It will be the best cake" Kissing Christian's lips softly, Elisa smiled and closed her eyes, being already completely exhausted.

'The church...' Closing his eyes while thinking, Christian finally left to the realm of dreams.

***

"Goodbye sweetheart~" Gently kissing Elisa's lips, Christian turned his gaze to the little girl in her arms and smiled softly at her, then kissed her forehead, cheeks and nose "Daddy will be back in a few days, I'll call you every morning, afternoon and evening~"

"Daddy..." Flailing in Elisa's arms, Helen opened her arms towards Christian and formed a small pout on her face, causing Christian to grit his teeth reluctantly and kissed her forehead again as she whispered "Sorry my girl... Daddy has to go to work, but I'll be back so we can play a lot with Kitty and Lilith."

Doing his best to ignore Helen's open arms, Christian turned to Sarah and smiled at her, then quickly kissed her lips and turned towards the exit of the room "See you, we'll be talking"

"Take care" Looking at Christian's back for a few seconds, Sarah commented.

"I always do."

"Dad..."

Pausing for a few seconds, Christian closed his eyes and kept walking, ignoring with great difficulty his little girl's words and feeling a slight ache in his heart knowing full well the sad face he would see if he turned around.

"Daddy..."

"*Sigh*" Unable to resist, Christian sighed and turned to Helen, then walked over to her and took her in his arms.

Watching his little girl's face for a few seconds, Christian gently kissed her forehead and whispered "Honey... if it were up to daddy, he would never stay away from you... but daddy has to go out to work so his little girl can grow up safely and happily, so even if daddy doesn't want to go out, he will have to... I know you won't understand me now and you will be sad, but remember that the only way for daddy to be happy, is to be with my family and obviously my little Helen..."

Gently caressing Helen's chubby cheek, Christian smiled softly and narrowed his eyes gently, then kissed her forehead again and whispered "I love you my little girl, and I'm sorry I can't stay and play with you today, but daddy promises you he'll be back in a few days and we'll play as much as you want... so for now, enjoy mommy Elisa and your mother Sarah, because they both love you the same way daddy loves you..."

"See you later my little girl~" Kissing Helen's forehead one last time, Christian handed her to Elisa and smiled at them, then turned and walked quickly towards the exit, knowing full well that, if he stayed for too long, his little girl would call for him again.

Walking to Emily's room, Christian slowly opened the door and looked at the half-naked woman sleeping on the bed, then smiled and closed the door again.

Turning, Christian walked into the main living room of the house and exited, then walked to the helipad and looked at his mother who was silently waiting for him as she checked her cell phone.

"Are the bags ready?"n)-O--v-(e-/1-)b/)1(-n

"All ready, we just have to leave."

"Good, let's go."

"Did you say goodbye already?"

"Yeah, it wasn't easy at all" Sighing as he climbs into the helicopter, Christian nods towards the pilots and continues "Helen makes it harder and harder for me to part with her..."

Waving her fingers at the pilot, Eva indicated to start the trip and put on her headset to isolate the noise so she could talk "What are you going to do about the church news?"

Finishing adjusting the headset, Christian sighed and answered "Nothing for now, but we'll have to move the family to the island, including Alan and Hailie obviously... it's the safest thing to do in these turbulent times."

"Alan will not be happy about this at all"

"His happiness is secondary once his life is in danger" Turning his gaze to the window and watching as his house gets smaller and smaller, Christian continued "He can bring his girlfriend if he wants, but even if I have to force him, I'm taking him to the island"

"*Sigh* Let me talk to him" Knowing how tense Christian must be, Eva sighed and continued "Hailie won't have a problem as long as you have a computer for her."

"She wouldn't mind living in the garbage as long as she has a computer" Chuckling, Christian sighed and continued "But this doesn't include just them mom, you'll have to go to the island too."

"Me?" raising her eyebrows in surprise, Eva continued "You know I can take care of myself."

"I know, but I'd rather be safe than sorry" Nodding, Christian continued "If by the coincidences of life something ends up happening to you... I wouldn't be able to forgive me"

"..." Looking at Christian for a few seconds, Eva sighed and nodded "Well, I'll let Azahara take my place temporarily, I'll take advantage to see how ready she is for the position, though I'll still keep working for zoom"

"As long as you stay safe" Nodding, Christian continued "Also don't forget to get security in Korea, we don't know what they might be planning."

"I know" Rolling her eyes, Eva continued "You should be the one to get those words, don't put yourself at risk for nonsense"

"Relax, the Koreans are far from being a problem" Chuckling, Christian continued "I'll finish everything in Korea in 2 days at the most, after that I'll leave for Japan"

"Japan? What will you do there?" frowning, Eva asked.

"I have to go to settle certain matters with my 'fiancée', I'll also take advantage of the trip to form a relationship with the Yakuza"

"The Yakuza?"

"Yes, although Japan is a rather irrelevant country as they have almost no armed force, it is still an island with great economic potential... but the real reason for my interest, is that I plan to do numerous scientific experiments in japan"

"In Japan? Wouldn't some other island with few people be better?"

"In japan I have everything I need to maintain several bunkers, without having the need to go constantly transporting resources, something that could easily give us away... not to mention that if some experiment goes wrong in japan, the island could be wiped off the map and maybe much more, so I prefer it to be as far away as possible."

"..."

"*Sigh* I have so much to do" Shaking his head, Christian sighed and continued "Finishing all this, I'll lock myself in the bunker to finish everything pending... I also have to read the secret books I stole from the vatican, I'm sure there must be a lot of valuable information in that."

"What would be valuable about books about dirty secrets and shitty stories?"

"Don't forget that it was the church that wiped out much of the indigenous peoples of the world... the Mayans, the Incas, and much more... today the human world can only marvel at how their ancestors achieved those grandiose structures that even to this day are still standing... not to mention that many of these cultures seemed to have mathematical knowledge far superior to the rest of the world at the time... I'm sure I'll come up with something interesting."

"Well... under that thought, you could certainly pull out something of use" Thinking for a few seconds, Eva nodded.

"Mn" Resting his head on Eva's shoulder, Christian nodded softly and murmured as he closed his eyes "I plan to write another book."

"Even more?"

"Well, I already have a few more to get out...hunger games, some more lovecraft and the odd story...but I plan to write one to bash the church...it will be called 'The Antichrist'"

"What a controversial name" Chuckling, Eva commented.

'It was in my world...' Smiling slightly, Christian thought 'Nietzsche ended up going crazy, but no one takes away his great written thoughts... taking that as a base and with the information I have at hand, I can write a great critique, and with the announcement they just gave, it will no doubt be quickly sold'

"Let me know when you have them ready to send to the lawyers to patent and then send to the publisher, I'm sure they will be happy to finally have books from you again"

"Mn"
