Chapter 179

Rest

Lucas paused. “Well, uh, no. Not exactly. Anyways. I had so much fun exploring and I’ve had so many new ideas. I also brought my friends over. Chu Shen is trying to hide his mother from a very powerful organization that is trying to kidnap her.”

Xentus Viri sneered. “Serves him right. Kidnapping my son, only to have his mother kidnapped. Good for him.”

Lucas stared. “He’s my friend, a good friend. He’s saved my life before and stuck with me through thick and thin.”

Xentus Viri shrugged. “That doesn’t make him my friend.”

Lucas groaned. “Daadd!”

Xentus Viri sighed. “Alright fine. I won’t make things difficult for him while he’s here, okay?”

Lucas nodded. “Thanks dad.”

Xentus Viri blushed before looking away. “Shut-up. Go bring them in so I can get back to work. Right now I’m trying to run experiments on manipulating black holes at range.”

Lucas grinned. “Same old thing huh. Anyways, I’ll show them to some spare rooms we have.”

He immediately ran out of the room, eager to show his friends around the base. Xentus Viri sighed and fell into his chair. He stared up at the ceiling. “How much you’ve grown over the years Lucas. How much you’ve grown.” A tear trickled slowly down his cheek.

Meanwhile, Chu Shen came out of the s.h.i.+p coughing. He bent over, gasping for breath. Smoke billowed out of the s.h.i.+p’s hatch behind him. Everyone else was also desperately trying to breath.

Whirling, Chu Shen grabbed As...o...b.. his s.h.i.+rt. “What the heck!”

Aslo threw up his hands. “I’m sorry, okay? It wasn’t my fault the fireball fell. I was just juggling to keep from being bored.”

“Being bored is not an excuse to juggle fireb.a.l.l.s! Those things are dangerous! You’re abusing your power! Don’t you know that plastic emits noxious and poisonous fumes when caught on fire!” Chu Shen was about ready to strangle Aslo right now.

Chrissa sighed before closing her eyes. The wind slowly picked up before blowing into the s.h.i.+p. The smoke slowly withdrew from the s.h.i.+p, causing a huge column of smoke to billow upwards. “I’ve put out the fire and it shouldn’t smell bad anymore.”

Chu Shen sighed before putting Lucas down. “Fine. You have to explain to Lucas though.”
