New Life

"Agent 003, welcome back!".

The tall bulky guy with a likable smile shook back Eugene Acker's hand. "What's the emergency? Master Alex ordered me to come back urgently!".

"M-Master got married yesterday. Maybe he wanted you to heal his new wife's face?".

"..." Unable to respond at the news that his master just got married and he was sent back to heal his master bride's face, he sighed hard in resignation. Eugene Acker is not great spy material, knowing Alex Lee for over two decades, he won't just order Agent 003 to abandon the mission for something foolish.

Walking away from the dock, both of the tall men quite attracted the crowd. Some of them were trailing behind them.

"Both Mister...., please take us as your servant!!!".

"We are really strong and affordable!".

"Take us, please!".

The group of five young men was following them like a train. Eugene Acker stopped walking and inspected the goods. He actually a bit shock to see that the five young men look so strong and able. "Are you immigrants?!".

"Y-yes mister! Our country recently got burn to the ground! We escaped via a small fisherman boat with nothing and now we need a job to support us!". The tallest men who looked like their leader did most of the talking.

Satisfied with their explanation, Eugene Acker said," Follow us!". Lord Alex Lee would never reject an addition to his arm forces, thus Eugene Acker did his master a favor by recruiting the five able men. As an immigrant from a fallen country himself, he understood their situation.

- The Laboratory, Alex Lee headquarters -

"Master Alex!". Agent 003 looked at the haggard-looking of Alex Lee who was sitting at the resting couch and gasped. "Are you sick?!".

"Agent 003, I need you to investigate a person!".

"Your wish is my command master, but please take care of your health first!". Right away, agent 003 was kneeling in front of Alex Lee and checked his pulse for an anomaly. "It seems you haven't slept for 24 hours, master! Did you overworked yourself with your bride?!".

The question was upsetting Alex Lee more. He had been trying hard to hold his fierce desire, looking at his wife from afar but unable to touch her, had made his body suffering great agony of longing for sex.

Frustrated, he asked a rhetorical question," Did you still save my late wife DNA?!!".

"Of course, master! It was your order to save it!".

Satisfied with Agent 003 confirmation, Alex Lee pulled out a plastic bag with strands of hair that he obtained from his wife comb secretly and said in a menacing way," Check whether its a match to this!".

Without question, agent 003 was using his palm to unlock a secret compartment by his print. The laboratory was built by Alex Lee as a gift to Agent 003, thus all of the pieces of laboratory equipment could only work with his hand imprint.

To Agent 003, checking a DNA sample is a piece of cake. After one hour, he got the results and he was shocked by the realization that indeed it's a match. Felicia Lee is still alive!

Alex Lee was staring at agent 003 honest expression and without asking, he knew it's a match.

"M-master! It's a match! Is this mean your new marriage is illegitimate?".

Alex Lee answered coldly," No! It means I married the same woman twice!".

"W-what? How dare she come back after she fabricated her death? Are you gonna send her away, master? She broke your heart once and it almost killed you, I have to put you in bed rest for a week to heal your body but I know your mental state still not quite right! Master, she could be a spy! Maybe she comes back for another intel?!!".

Agent 003 is not just a subordinate to Alex Lee, he is also family. After following Alex Lee for more than two decades, he is the only person that could talk to Alex Lee freely without any consequence.

"Investigate her! And check on her health at noon! I want you to heal her face and vocal cord!". Then with a loud thumping noise, Alex Lee left the laboratory in a hurry.

Alex Lee had been watching them for an hour since he got back from the headquarters. Felicia Lee's agility impressed him so much. In the past, he thought of her as a beautiful rare flower, only to admire not to pluck. He was worry that his strength would hurt her, thus he always made love to her gently, afraid that he would break her. In the past, she always looked like a snow princess, alluring but distant. But three nights ago, she was so wild on his bed. No longer icy with her sex response as in the past, but wild dynamite with a very exotic flavor. How could the woman in front of him be the same woman that had run away from him by fabricating her death?

Sighing heavily, he rose up from the sitting bench and left.

Felicia Lee was looking from the corner of her eyes when her husband finally left after watching her silently for an hour. Indeed, something is brewing in the air and she didn't know how it will affect her future. However, nothing could hurt her anymore since the day she lost her son. Nothing scares her anymore. She would overcome her fate and destiny with bravely and dignity. After all, she is here to pay off her debt, so she is ready to accept any punishment from the beloved man. Their son died because of her, thus a mere death is not enough to pay for her debt of life. As a consequence, she is ready for any outcome.

"Great job, Xander! That's all for today!!!".

Alexander Lee ran toward her in two steps and hugged her tight. "Mother, I'm glad that you didn't wear the monster mask anymore. It's inhuman to breathe to a mask just because you are not a beauty anymore. But no worry, mother! I made this divine beauty salve to restore your goddess's face, please use it at all times, mother!!".

Felicia Lee took the small jar of beauty salve and put it inside her pants pocket. How could a mere five years old made a divine beauty salve? Even her master couldn't heal her face. But not wanting to break his heart, she would probably use the salve after her shower. After all, what could happen to her scarred face? The Black veins had covered most areas of her face and the deep crack skin on her forehead and chin area would not get worse just because she applied a divine salve made by her son.

Little that she knows that Alexander Lee didn't just randomly make the divine salve. He gained knowledge of the poison remedy from his divine dream. Of course, he could never tell anyone of his divine dreams. Thus, he could only give the salve to his mother indifferently, and hopefully, she would use it without question. "Mother, meet me for lunch!". Felicia Lee nodded while watching her son left in a hurry. Smiling, she headed up to the master bedroom.

Agent 003 had been waiting for her return in front of the master bedroom door with a personal maid.

"Madam Lee, master Alex ordered me to check on your health!".

"Follow me!".

Felicia Lee laid down in the master bedroom with the help of the personal maid, a big woman with a friendly smile.

Agent 003 grimaced the moment he felt her pulse.

"What happened?!!"

"I couldn't treat you at the moment. Any medicine to heal you would be experimental since I never knew that this potent poison exists and not only a legend - The Ancient Phoenix fire poison -".

"Why can't you treat me now?", subconsciously she asked.

"Congrats, madam! You're pregnant! Let me inform the master of the good news!".

"W-what? How do you know? It's only three days ago...". Her ears turned blazing red and she stopped degrading herself.

"My medical ability is not questionable. Even if the baby conceive in a day, I would know!". Agent 001 smirked and left the room with mixed feelings. With the baby on board, the bad woman would stay for sure. What a headache! He felt happy and upset at the same time.
