Chapter 219 - The Sibling Meeting 2 (End Of Bridging Arc) (2/2)
”Ah no, not really. It is just that there is a very large coincidence in this matter…” Ming Yue Guang spoke slowly as his head was still processing the realisation in front of him.
”What's wrong, Da Guang?” Now, even Melisa was waiting for a response from her son.
”My boyfriend is actually best friends with Sato.”
”What? Really?” Everyone in the room was surprised by the huge turn of events. Ming Yue Guang skipped the emotional parts of the story between Sato and Li Ming, but he did fill in the rest of the context in for the three ladies. At the end of the gossip, everyone was satisfied.
”I cannot believe that such fated events could occur.” Melanie breathed out.
”Indeed.”
By the end of the meal, everyone caught up with each other on the family aspect. Of course, Melisa was still adamant on not coming back to the Hanlon family. Just as Melisa had said, ”I very much enjoy my life as a commoner. If I do go back to the Hanlon family, it wouldn't feel the same anymore.”
Melanie and Mary respected their youngest sister's decision. The only thing that had changed now was that the three sisters would still meet up time and time again. They couldn't bear to be separated anymore after this meetup. For the case of Ming Yue Guang, Melanie extended her hand as the eldest of the Hanlon family and also has the female head of the Tobion family.
”If you ever face any problem, call my number. Auntie will try her best to help you out, okay?” Melanie handed the young man her name card. Ming Yue Guang turned to look at his mother, who nodded for him to take it. And so, the young man did not declined her aunt's promise.
After all of this was over, Melanie and Mary both gave their sister a hug goodbye and headed to the private airports to get on the flight back to Country Y. Melisa and Ming Yue Guang both went home by taking the train. On the way back, Melisa gave her son a better back story on the Tobion family. When the Yue Guang heard about his aunt's husband's prowess, the boy's mouth went agape. Looking at Melanie's name card, he realised what this number meant in this world.
Back when he heard about Li Ming almost killing himself over his best friend, there was a small seed of hate for Sato that bloomed that day. After all, his actions had almost resulted in Ming's death. Though it wasn't Sato's fault, it was still because of him. However, now seeing that this young man was not only able to catch the eye of his boyfriend, but also an extremely large fish from the Tobion family, Yue Guang felt that Sato was an interesting fellow. If he could, Ming Yue Guang would like to speak with him one day.
When the week ended, Sato and Gray went back to Country Z. The old man, Byron was very reluctant to see Sato go, but he knew that the young man was itching to get back and start studying. There was a growing fire within him that wanted to escape and burn freely. In that one week, Sato had played a lot of chess and had only lost games when he was up against the top ten players in the world. The craze of the mysterious dark horse in chess came and would soon disappear without a trace. As of now, the young man had not thought about pursuing chess as an occupation. Even as a hobby, he felt like he did not have any time to play things anymore. Even for his favourite game, Ray Of Light, the young man decided that it would be best if he did not touch the game. If achieving his goals in life required him to not enter the ROL for many years, Sato would do it. What was a game when the responsibility in bearing some of the Tobion family's eminent issue was on him?
