Chapter 194 - Chapter 194: Chapter 186: The New Generation (2/2)

The silvery-white Spiritual Dragon excitedly crawled out of its corner nest, wobbled as it attempted to fly but failed, and ultimately snuggled up at Lilian’s feet.

“It’s been a long time, I’m finally back.”

Lilian hugged the Spiritual Dragon, her heart brimming with joy, preferring the company of animals and mysterious creatures over socially adept humanoid beings.

The Fischer family had gradually become a behemoth, and Lilian’s birthday celebration once again became the focus of many people in town.

There were many guests coming and going at the birthday party, and the servants worked methodically, as Chris and Vanessa’s children gathered in a corner of the family hall.

They stood together, watching Cousin Lilian’s birthday party without drawing attention to themselves.

Chris’s daughter, Christine, seated in a silver-gray wheelchair, had strikingly delicate features beneath her silvery-white hair, especially her captivating eyes.

Her legs were disabled, her body extremely frail as if she could collapse at any moment, yet her eyes sparkled with a keen and enchanting light.

“Brother, look at those men. They seem distracted but are actually fixated on Sister Lilian, like large animals in mating season. Ridiculous, isn’t it?”

Christine was very intelligent, possessing from a young age the ability to read people. With just a short interaction, she could discern someone’s character and thoughts.

Byrne had even praised Christine, feeling she would someday match Viscount Bast’s prowess in understanding people.

However, he also regretted that Christine’s body, cursed to a lifetime of disability, might prevent her from achieving greater accomplishments.

Christine was actually an indifferent child, more willing to converse with her family than show a sliver of emotion towards strangers.

Karno Fischer also had silver hair, but just a short layer on top of his head because he couldn’t be bothered to wash it, even considering shaving it all off.

A stalk of grass dangled from his mouth as he leaned back lazily with one hand behind his head.

“No chance of that, hahaha, Sister Lilian’s heart isn’t here.”

“All those ardent suitors are just fools.”

Karno was nothing like the rest of his family; he was the most cheerful and extroverted, his personality complete opposite to his silent and reserved father.

He loved roaming around outside, never caring about his own disability, not feeling any different from others, untroubled about his future.

Any child who dared mock Karno’s disability would find themselves on the receiving end of his single-handed punches, and without revealing his identity, Karno became the children’s king of Nasir Town, turning those brats into his underlings.

Karno had only one arm but was naturally strong, and with agility and nimbleness like his father Chris, he could easily take on ten people singlehandedly.

The twin siblings had a close relationship, always sticking together, rarely apart, and were liked by almost everyone in the Fischer family.

Seeing the siblings slowly approach, Irene said calmly:

“Christine, Karno, what are you doing here? Hurry and change into your formal attire; your sister’s birthday party has already begun.”

“Okay, got it, Aunt Irene,” the twins responded in unison.

Irene smiled as she led them to the dressing room.

Karno, with the grass still in his mouth, casually asked, “Aunt Irene, are you not leaving after coming back this time?”

Irene nodded gently, a tender smile on her face.

“Yes, I won’t leave Nasir Town again, never ever, and Lilian will not leave either.”

Karno couldn’t help but laugh, nodding excitedly, “That’s great! I just love the desserts Sister Lilian makes! Hahahaha!”

Christine looked at Aunt Irene, feeling something off about her emotions but couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was.

She also vaguely sensed that the family harbored some immense secret, one that was never revealed to her and Karno.

What could it be?

Some unknown truth?

Christine was curious but also a bit frightened, deep down knowing she and Karno were not entitled to explore it.

Looking calmly at Christine and Karno, Irene said with a smile, “Soon, you will gain your own strength, and the future of the Fischer family will need you, along with Lilian and Darren, to uphold it together.”
