In Luceniel's arms, Elunara was still sleeping peacefully.
After 2 minutes, the person who was supposed to pick up Luceniel and Elunara finally arrived.He apologized immediately, bowing slightly with nervousness.
"Hello, sir," he said."I am Jack, your assistant. I'm here to pick you and Mrs. Vale."
Luceniel gave him a cold glare and spoke in a heavy voice,"Oh really? So you're the one sent to pick us up?""Then you surely know the code you're supposed to say to me... right?"
"Of course, sir," Jack replied nervously.
The moment he said "of course," Luceniel kicked him hard in the stomach.
The man fell to the ground, clutching his stomach. His face turned pale as if he had just met death for the first time.He was so terrified, he didn't even look up to meet Luceniel's eyes.
Luceniel said in a deep, dangerous tone,"Get lost... BEFORE I KILL YOU."
Jack couldn't even stand. He crawled away in fear, his body trembling like he'd just seen a demon.
After the man disappeared, Elunara finally woke up.She realized she was in Luceniel's arms in a princess-style carry and blushed a little.
She scolded Luceniel, "Why didn't you wake me up?!"
Luceniel replied in a funny tone,"I didn't want to earn more bite marks before reaching home."
Elunara, flustered, gave Luceniel a light smack on his arm.Luceniel laughed gently.
All the people who came with them tried to hold in their laughter.
Elunara then asked, "Where's the person Dad arranged for us?"
Luceniel said,"I don't think he's going to come. Do you know the address of our new home?"
Elunara nodded.
Suddenly, Lily appeared, though she couldn't maintain her full form. She sat on Elunara's shoulder and said with a cute voice and a bright smile,"Good morning, Mom!"
Elunara smiled happily to see Lily awake and well.
Luceniel said,"Lily, take the new home's address and book us a car—one for us and one for all the people with us."
A man from the group stepped forward and said,"Master Luceniel, you don't need to do that.I already messaged our company. Someone will come to pick all of us up."
"Until then, please wait in the private lounge room with Mrs. Vale."
It was now 3:45 AM.
Luceniel asked Lily about the man who tried to pick them up earlier."Lily… who was that guy from before?"
Lily replied in a sad tone,"Sorry, Dad... when that man approached you, my system shut down because of the update."
Elunara comforted her gently,"Sweetie, you don't need to be sad. It's okay. After we reach home, your dad will complete your upgrade. Be happy, alright?"
Luceniel added,"Yeah, Lily. Don't feel bad. If you hadn't shut down, maybe we all would've gotten into trouble."
Elunara asked what happened while she was asleep.
Luceniel told her everything.
Elunara smiled and teased,"Oh? Looks like my light is famous in every country now."
Luceniel sighed and said,"If only your dad didn't drink at that party…"
Elunara and Lily both chuckled.
After 10 minutes, Lily's system powered off again.
Elunara looked a bit sad, but Luceniel cheered her up, hugging her.
"Don't worry, honey. The first thing I'll do when we get home is fully upgrade Lily, so she'll never shut down again."
Elunara smiled and kissed Luceniel's cheek.
Soon, multiple cars arrived at the airport gates.
A man stepped forward, bowed, and said,"Sir, Ma'am, all the cars are here. We should leave before sunrise."
Elunara stood up, but Luceniel didn't move.
Elunara asked,"Honey? What's wrong?"
Luceniel replied in a worried tone,"Elunara, the moment we landed in Country A, two different people came to approach us…One even knew your dad had arranged someone to pick us up.And now Lily won't wake up until her system update is complete…"
The man standing next to Elunara added,"Sir Luceniel is very clever. He figured something suspicious within just one hour.But, sir, what should we all do now?If someone is targeting you and Mrs. Vale…"
Luceniel smirked and said,"Don't worry.Even if a demon tried to follow us… they wouldn't succeed."
Luceniel took out his phone and entered a code.
He turned to everyone and said,"Hey, all of you—put our stuff in the cars within five minutes.Then, each of you will go in a different direction."
"At 7 AM, we'll meet at my new home.You all have the address. You'll be safe."
One man asked nervously,"But sir, we can't leave you here alone…We'd never be able to face Sir Kaelron if something happened to you or Mrs. Vale.Please, come with us."
Elunara laughed softly and said,"Hey… why are you all so worried about us?We'll arrive before you. Go now."
Everyone loaded the luggage.
Five minutes later, every electronic device in and around the airport froze—but not the cars.The cars sped off at full speed.
People at the airport looked around in confusion.
Luceniel stood up, extended one hand toward Elunara, and said,"Honey… we should go too."
Elunara smiled and placed her hand in his.In an instant, both vanished into the air.
Five minutes later, all the devices resumed functioning normally.
The man who was supposed to pick Luceniel up stood stunned—he'd lost them.He quickly called his boss.
His boss shouted furiously over the phone,"You fool! Do you know how important Luceniel is for our company?!How could you lose him so easily?!I spent a million dollars just to get information on who would pick him up—AND YOU LOST HIM?!"
The assistant stammered in a scared voice,"Boss… I don't know… all the devices just stopped working for a minute, and…Whenever I looked at Luceniel and his wife, my eyes started burning!I'm sorry, Boss. But don't worry.If he doesn't come to our company, he has to die.I've already arranged everything.He won't see his new home in the morning."
The boss slammed the table and shouted in rage,"You better find him NOW—or you already know what will happen to you!"
After cutting the call, the assistant contacted someone.
He spoke in a cold, serious tone,"Kill Luceniel only."
Elsewhere…
A man loaded a CheyTac M200 Intervention sniper rifle—one of the world's most accurate.
He received the order and sent out a message to his squad.
Within 30 minutes, multiple hitmen reached Luceniel and Elunara's home.
They searched every car parked there.
But Luceniel was in none of them.
The lead sniper called the client,"He's not in any of the cars. Should we just blast all of them?"
The assistant replied, terrified,"No! If Luceniel isn't there, back off!If we try to hurt them, and Kaelron finds out someone attacked his sister or Luceniel…He'll find each one of us and make our deaths very painful.Just let them go."
The sniper gave the retreat order.
Meanwhile…
We see Luceniel flying, wearing different clothes from earlier.A mysterious sky-blue aura surrounded him.He carried Elunara in a princess-style hold as they reached their new home.
Elunara looked around and her eyes sparkled with joy.
She hugged Luceniel and said with a big smile,"Now we can finally start our new life, honey."
Luceniel smiled back and said,"Of course."
The house was huge, surrounded by nature, far from the city noise.It had a massive yard, a big swimming pool, and many luxurious features.
Elunara was glowing with happiness.
She took Luceniel's hand, walked to the front door, and pulled out the key to their new home.
She gave Luceniel a bright, heartfelt smile.
Luceniel smiled back—and together, they opened the door.
