Chapter 378 - Surely Come Back Soon (1/2)
At Chen's Mansion, Country V
Senior Yang with Liz went out into the city's largest library to get a confidential note about the next meeting from Lucas. He was still new to those ways of communications and he was grateful that Liz was with him to accompany him while his father-in-law would decipher the messages because they wrote it like a puzzle.
Senior Yang felt like he was playing a part in a spy movie. Last time, it took time for his father-in-law to properly interpret and complete the information on the notes he gathered.
James and Liz went separately to check the books out for all the clues. James first looked in the fantasy and sci-fi genres sections. He flipped every page of the book he would hold like checking and reading something, then put it back. Liz also did the same, in every book she touched.
Then finally James went into the romance genre section and looked at the novel of one known author. It was the author compared and praised by a certain fan on the books fan page account of the news anchor turned author, Gavin Wu.
Lucas contacted them through that webpage where his team monitored the comments on Gavin Wu's page for his books.
A particular commentator was Lucas' alternate id, using this id he praised Gavin and compared his writing to a particular author and novel.
Senior Yang flipped the pages and saw a note kept in that book. He secretly pulled it out and kept it in his pocket. Like the first time they arranged the meeting, the time and place to meet must be there in the note this time too.
Liz and him took some time to read together in the library before they went out and headed towards the restaurant given by Lucas to eat lunch where the waiter handed him a brochure. Liz kept it in her purse because Lucas' further instructions were there.
The Chen's were very familiar with things like these, but they cut it down to Liz because Liz and Old Master Chen both agreed that they would not let Dion get involved with things like these besides the responsibility of writing of Mirage's History was already passed down to another writer.
”This is marvellous news. Ester will help even if you don't beg James. She is now making a move. You don't even have to meet her, James. It won't be wise, she said. She will be in direct contact with Lucas… and Lucas will relay everything to Chad… Chad will pass it to Keira...” Old Master Chen's face cringed because of how complicated their means of communication were.
”I guess Lucas and Ester will have a direct communication from now on. I thought that wouldn't be better…” Liz commented.
”Well, they probably reanalyzed the situation and found this method will be the best to not expose her helping hand in Xander's case. So all we need to do now is to wait.” Old Master Chen commented.
”You both should inform your son and prepare to travel soon... Your task here is done, James. Ester will contact Xander through Keira. They state it there that Xander should be the one to be present as soon as she could ask for an audience.” Old Master Chen said, and next he explained the Mirage Trial.
James heaved a long sigh as he listened. Old Master Chen said that Xander would be safe under the Mirage system's protection during the duration of the trial, since it would be the Quan clan who would secure Xander's safety.

At Plumeria Island
Xander prepared a special evening for his wife as this was his last night at Plumeria Island with her.
He had arranged a candlelight dinner in the spacious balcony of their room where Xander serenaded his wife by playing a guitar under the moonlit sky.
Yera watched her husband, who sang a soulful song as he played the guitar along with. His voice was so warm and soothing...
I had found what I've
Searched to discover
I've come much too far
For me now to find
The love that I sought
My dreams come true when I looked at you
I am taking your love
Along with me in my heart
This waiting is gonna be the
Sweetest of wait in the entire life of ours
