Chapter 824 Leaving Dragon Island (Part One) (1/2)
We should never think that we can escape our pasts because every step we've taken in the past have led us to the future and to the endings we've chosen for ourselves.

A waxing gibbous moon was shining brightly on the dark night sky, while the stars were twinkling with magical vitality.
In the soft moonlight, Molly observed Brian quietly as he opened that square box and took out an open glass container with some brown powder in it.
”What's this?” Molly asked out of curiosity.
Brian's lips curled up into a faint smile as he fixed his deep gaze on Molly. Then he left the room and walked into the Glamour Hall. After a short while, he returned with a large glass of water in his hand.
Molly was observing the powder in the glass container curiously. When she noticed Brian's return, she stood up from the desk and looked at the glass of water with confusion. Brian replied her with a soft smile before he poured the water into the container and put down the glass on the desk.
He then took Molly's hand and gave it a tight squeeze, holding on to it, ”Mol, I promise you that we will never separate again. Much like our hands are clasped together like this, so are we. We cannot separate.”
Molly was so moved by his words that she started to tear up. When she was distracted enough, Brian suddenly pushed their hands into the container and immersed them in the mixture of water and powder.
Molly looked down at their clasped hands in the container, wondering why he would do that. Brian took out their hands, still clasped.
”Bri...” Molly whispered, dumbfounded. She was looking at the bits of brown powder that was now sticking to their hands.
