Chapter 452 - BACK TO WHERE IT ALL BEGIN: PART I (1/2)

Up in the sky, Elizabeth was seated by the window whilst gazing blankly outside. Both Lady Zhao and Elder Chief Zhao worriedly glanced at the girl from time to time. They did not bother her at all worried that she might have a fit.

”Father, don't worry, I'm sure she's just thinking about something.”

”I hope so, if not we're taking this plane around and I don't care if my granddaughter does not step foot on her ancestral land.”

”Father, don't be like that. You yourself can see that Lizzy is fine. I'm sure once she finds out everything I'll be...”

”Fine, fine, you don't have to give me a lecture. I know what you're trying to say. Hmm,” Elder Chief Zhao interrupted Lady Zhao and signed heavily. ”But still, I hope she does not meet whoever she is looking for.”

”How come?” Lady Zhao was curious because for her, she does wish for her daughter to meet them so she can find out what her daughter has been up to for the past few years. Even though a big part of her does not want to as well, in fear of something happening to Elizabeth but knowing the truth was the best solution to all of this.

”I fear the man she is looking for is someone we should not be entwined with.”

No further explanation was needed to explain what Elder Chief Zhao meant. They fear that the person whom Elizabeth was with is indeed someone powerful but stand on the opposite site of the society. Whilst they are law-abiding citizens the person must be the one who breaks the law.

Elizabeth, who was quietly seated in her seat overheard her mother and grandfather's conversation. She too has taken into account that the person she might be looking for is indeed on the opposite site which means she'll have a hard time looking for him. But, she has this small hope that their path will collide.

China - XX City Internation Airport

A young man has just arrived as he waits for his luggage. Whilst he was waiting for his luggage he wandered back on how the old lady he saved earlier is. He was sure things would be handled well, seeing the old man that appeared came with quite a few guards which means he was someone important but he can't recall who that old man was. 'I wonder how that old man was? Why does he look so familiar?'

It didn't take long for his luggage to arrive. As he grabbed his luggage when his phone suddenly rang.

”Yo, Cris, where are you? Bad timing man, I'm coming in to rescue you.” It sounded like the person was in a hurry and was out of breath. It made him curious as to what was going on.

”What are you talking about?” Cris asked.

”Hey, get out of the way! Man, you're so dead!”

Cris could hear the sound of people through the phone, but wonder who they were. As his friend passed through the crowd, he spoke again. ”There are quite a lot of reporters outside, I don't even know why.”

”One of the big families in China does not know why the reporters are here.” Cris mockingly sneers whilst heading to the exit.

”Wait, don't tell me, could they be here because of you?” He felt scared knowing that the people are here for him. Which just means it will be impossible for them to escape since there are quite a lot of reporters.

”Why would they be here for me? My own father does not even know I'm here.”

”WHAT!!! Don't tell me... Yo-you ran away? Again? Dear cousin, please don't bring harm to my family. I am but a humble servant, so please, don't bring misfortune to my family. I beg of you.”

”Ha-ha, hurry up, I'll be waiting by the exit.”

”WAIT! Cousin...” But the call was already ended before he could even beg for mercy. He stood by the entrance not willing to pick up the man. For he fears if he dare go along with him, calamity will befall him and his family. The man's father was someone to be afraid of and knowing he ran away without his father's permission just means it won't be long for those who help him be punished. ”Dear Lord, why, why did you have to give me such a family. I would rather live a humble life in the fields.”

He drags himself inside as he heads straight to the exit without any further complaints.

Cris stood there patiently as he waited for his cousin. Technically, the boy is just a long distance cousin of his. His mother's side of the family is the reason why the two of them are related, but if you draw a family tree, their connection started way back hundreds of years ago.

”Cris!”

Hearing the familiar voice, Cris smiled as he turned around to greet the person. But what he was greeted with was an empty shell dragging himself towards him.

'Do I really bring calamity where I go?' He thought and chuckled, seeing the state of his poor cousin.

”Cris, please tell me you did ask permission from your father. I heard you're under house arrest of something.”

”House arrest? You said that?” Cris acted as if he did not know what he was talking about. True, he did run away and even the head butler must be in panic now knowing he's not in the estate at all.

”Cris, please tell me you're only planning to sightsee and then leave today as well?”

”Are you ordering me around?” Cris expression turned cold as he looked coldly at his cousin.
