Chapter 226 - Twins Birthday (13) (1/2)

Callum was done scanning the rooms in the upper floor and when he could not find Kai Xin, he rushed down the stairs to check at the kitchen area.

That was when he saw a man with grey hair standing near an open window while staring towards a direction.

The sudden heavy gust of wind brought the silk curtain up and it wrapped itself around Ghost before it fell down.

"Goddess?" thought Callum as he slowed down his pace.

The person he was looking at currently had the same look as his goddess. Loneliness. Abandoned.

He slowly crept up behind the person.

...

When Ghost saw that DX managed to get to Kai Xin on time, he sighed in relief. At the same time, he scolded himself inwardly for his stupidity.

"You should have saved her! That was your window of opportunity! Why did you stop running?!" thought Ghost angrily.

He watched as the three talked about something and after they went their own ways, he sighed in frustration.

When he turned, he was startled by the appearance of Callum.

"Goddess?" asked Callum softly as he looked closer at Ghost's face in order to find the resemblance.

Ghost sighed as he thought, "He's still as dumb as before..."

Callum went wide-eyed when he saw the person's face clearly.

"Luo Guang Ying?"

Ghost nodded as he greeted him, "Good evening, President Shenlong..."

Callum had brushed shoulders with him every now and then but he had never talked to him before.

He blinked rapidly before he asked Ghost bluntly, "Do you...By chance, did you attend Imperial High?"

Ghost nodded, "Yes. For a short period of time."

"Do you know how to play the piano?"

Ghost laughed softly, "I think 99% of the people here know how to play the piano."

Callum frowned as he thought about his words. He then sighed when he realized that he was right.

Disappointed, he turned around and saw that Luo Yin was walking towards them.

The two nodded in acknowledgment of each other's presence as they greeted each other.

After a brief chat, Callum excused himself. As he walked away, he pulled out his phone to call Old Mo.

Callum was supposed to be watching over Luo Yin's movement but with the latter watching him, it would be hard.

Thus, he asked the old butler to keep an eye on the Luo brothers. Since Old Mo was a staff, they would not pay so much attention to him.

.....

Once Callum was away, Luo Yin draped his arm around his eldest brother's shoulders and smirked, "Guang Ying...Are you trying to stand out again?"

"No. I would not dare to go against your order," said Ghost meekly.

He pretended to look over Luo Yin's shoulders so that the latter thought he was waiting for their grandfather to save him.

Ever since Ghost found out about the truth of his mother's whereabouts, he wanted to go all out but Phantom stopped him.

....

"We don't know if your mother is alive or dead!" said Phantom over one drinking session at AVENGE.

"If she's alive, she would have come for me," snapped Ghost before he downed another glass of whiskey.

"Ghost..."

"I know, I know..." sighed Ghost before he cursed angrily at his own helplessness. He lied down on the couch and thought about every possibility.

If he was to openly retaliate now, Luo Yin and Mrs. Luo would realize that Ghost knew about his mother.

He doubted the possibility of his mother being alive. From what the dead bastard in Japan told him, she was already severely weakened from the abuse when she escaped.

Even if she managed to escape the place of her confinement, it would be unlikely for her to survive in the huge forest.

"Don't worry too much for now, G. I'll figure out a way to send the search parties in without raising any suspicions...As for you, stay low and gather your strength. Secure your inheritance before you act..." said Phantom.
