Chapter 158 - Breakthrough (1/2)

Green was standing on the roof of the tallest building on the property, looking towards a certain direction.

”You felt it too?” Red's voice came from behind. He didn't turn around, simply nodding in response.

”Something big is about to happen,” he mumbled mindlessly.

”It's almost time. Soon we can have our revenge,” Red added, patting Green on the shoulder.

Green turned around to look at him in the eye. Many things were going through his mind, more than what he could put into words.

”Do you ever think about the life we had before all this?” he asked with a downcast expression.

Red seemed like he had expected the question and smiled, ”No. What use is thinking about a life we no longer remember? Those animals plucked us from our previous lives and sold us as lab rats. All those experiments, all those dead faces.”

*Sigh*

”But we survived, and found such a kind master. Why dwell on the past? What use is in that?”

Green didn't respond and simply looked away once again, peering towards a certain direction.

”But what if I still remember?” he whispered to himself.

Xu Qing sat in her dark room, facing the window outside. There was a giant maple tree visible from there, shaking every now and then with a gust of cold winters wind.

It had been several hours since Hao Xuan's stream had ended. She thought about calling but didn't want to distract him in the middle of the fight. Even the slightest distraction could be fatal in a real battle.

So she sat in her room alone, waiting for his call. When she got bored and her mind wandered off to dark places, she would get up and clean the room and the surroundings by hand.

After cleaning the whole mansion twice, she started cooking. Making every type of dish she knew and using up almost a week's worth of ingredients.

Yun Wentian, Red and Green ate as much as they physically could, but there was still a lot left over. She gave the rest to the maids and the servants who were used to this behavior.

This wasn't the first time something like this had happened. Quite often Xu Qing would stand in the kitchen and cook tons of dishes. Unfortunately, the person she cooked for was never there.

So she would then sit in the patio under the maple tree and hum different tunes, waiting for a call.

This time was the same well. She sat under the maple tree in the heavy rain and waited for a call. This had become a habit and she would not be able to rest easy until she heard his voice.
