polluted
Celestial realm, medicine sage valley, Obsidian court [Yuwen Ruohan's Pavillion] The room was dark, with the faint traces of herbs in the air, like an incense was being burnt. While the incense wasn't exactly offensive, it surrounded the room with an eerie cold energy, like something originating from darkness. Yuwen Ruohan sat behind a book cabinet, a huge black tome before him. He was studying the weird characters with maximum concentration, trying to perfectly decipher the steps listed on the tome. Something flashed in his eyes and he slowly looked up, his lips curling upwards in a wicked smirk. He had noticed that people from Jade Pavillion were getting increasingly sneaky, moving as if hiding something. Despite his best efforts, he couldn't find out what. He had a feeling it had something to do with Murong Wuque. The obsequious first brother seemed to be on his way back from wherever he hid or was about to break free from whatever trapped him. He was determined not to be
Too broken for salvation
Alvin's mouth dropped open, and Murong Wuque shoved him away. Alvin was too shocked to react. He had never seen such hatred from Murong Wuque in the past. Especially not directed at him. “Have you gone crazy?” Alvin stood up, rage boiling in his veins. Why was he overreacting? Angry he got called out? “I never asked you to sacrifice anything for me!” Murong Wuque's lips curled slightly, hurt, anger and hatred simmering in his eyes at the same time. “No. I was the idiot who thought we were what we aren't.” Alvin's words died in his throat. The drumstick snatched from Alvin fell from Murong Wuque's limp fingers, into the tray. He turned to Alvin, trying his best not to let the beast within snap free. “I was the one who kept giving and giving, emptying myself into an illusion. Into someone who never saw me as anything more than a burden he had to put up with. I was the fool always going the extra mile.” Alvin gasped, anger finally erupting. “Don't you dare give me that. When
The crack that formed between us
VILLA NUMBER 7 It was eleven p.m when Alvin finally made it home. The soft whirl of his helicopter blades informed everyone who cared to listen that he'd arrived. Inside their room, Murong Wuque sat on the bed beside Aurelio’s cot, laptop in hand as he worked, and waited for the man who didn't seem to realize someone was waiting for him. The door opened and Alvin came in, still dressed in combat gears, albeit different from the one he wore when he went to rescue the kids. He went straight to the bathroom, sterilised his working implements, and peeled his clothes off for a shower. The water was set to an almost hot temperature, the faucets going at full blast, falling against his head like tiny hailstones. Alvin's palm held the wall for support, letting the water wash away the stress and the grime. Like it would erase the bloodshed of the day, and the vileness of human greed that permeated the corners of the earth. He reached for the body wash on the hanging cubicle in the s
taking a wild card in
Alvin's face was hidden beneath masks and a helmet. Even after arriving, he didn't remove any protective covering. Still, he controlled his reaction. His eyes scanned the boy. His lips were pale, breathing heavy. ‘Why didn't I notice it before?’ Alvin’s eyes narrowed. ‘They already broke him. Made him a willing slave.’ “Is something wrong with my body?” The boy finally asked. The silence had gone heavy, lasted for far too long. Alvin pressed two fingers together, slowly moving up his arm. “Is it serious?” The boy asked again. Alvin was acting far too strange. With the others, he attended to them within a few short minutes, and sent them on their way. As for him, Alvin had been checking his pulse and staring at him. “Are you afraid to be here?” Alvin's voice was soft, betraying nothing. The boy shook his head. “This place is infinitely better than where we are coming from.” Alvin flicked his fingers and a giant light barrier encircled them. By now, the others were watchi
HIDDEN SPY
It took Alvin another thirty minutes to treat them and eliminate the slave-seeking worms and tracking hexes in their bodies, each extraction a small war fought beneath skin and soul. The older girl would need many sessions to fully recover. Worse, they got her addicted to a substance, forcing her to return for it. A leash made of cunning and cruelty. He began by cleansing her body to lower aftereffects and withdrawal syndromes. She would still suffer, of course. But when the tendency came, clawing at her veins, the drug Alvin left in her body would force her to sleep it off, dragging her under before she could scream. Alvin looked back at the snow-capped mountains, seemingly ordinary, innocent. There were concealment wards around it, alongside beast-repelling herbs. The place was literally an inconspicuous fortress, a secret wrapped in winter. The cave still had levels below. Levels which Alvin didn’t dare expose to them…not yet. “So long now, two witches. Let’s see how you duke
Locked away
By the time the girls came out, Alvin already had soups laid out on the kitchen island, steaming, the scent of warmth cutting through the cold that clung to their bones. Then porridge and small quantities of veggies and meat, arranged with care. They had just come out of captivity, and eating foods that were too heavy wasn’t advisable. They remained fragile, their stomachs still remembering starvation. “Come have some soup. Then I will check on your health for possible poison and injury.” The girls stayed still, watching him, wary as cornered animals. “Hurry. I have places to be. I can’t stay all the way here.” He picked a small plate and dished a little soup into it, then pulled out a straw. He adjusted the straw, fitting it into his helmet, noticing them straining to see his real face. Perfect spies indeed. Eyes hungry for secrets and identity. He sipped the soup till the plate was empty, the sound amplified in the quiet. “See, the food is edible and safe. Do you have any al
