Chapter 96

"That's what you heard." she smiled "He's mine..."

"Let go." Noah tugged on her arm, which was between Ting's and continued to move forward. "Let's continue."

"But…"

"What?"

"The way is not that way." Sophia replied.

"Oh, and where is it then?"

She sighed "It's this way."

*********

As she walked down the street, for some reason, Sophia always found herself looking at Ting, and most of the time unintentionally.

'Is what she said true? They are really…'

"Sophia!"

Upon hearing that angry voice, calling her name. Almost by instinct, Sophia quickly hid behind Noah.

But in completely white clothes. Her father came over and said, "It's no use hiding, young lady. Tell me what you're doing here!" he looked at Xiao Yun "And why is this boy…"

As Arthur spoke, a man with long black hair. An almost gray beard that reached to his chest. And dressed in red clothes. He suddenly appeared and took Xiao Yun's arm, and with a happy tone said, "So, you finally came back to me, my son."

You could see the dissatisfaction on Xiao Yun's face, or maybe that was anger. But the only certainty was that he was not at all happy to find that man again. However, before he could say anything. Arthur suddenly appeared on his other side, and grabbed his arm while saying "I already told you Xiao Feng. For trying to attack my daughter, this boy won't take a step where I can't see."

"How dare you say that in front of me?! Let go of my son now!"

"Drop you!" exclaimed Xiao Yun, pulling his arms.

"What?…" he raised his hand "How dare you yell at me like that, you…"

"Go, keep going." Noah approached Xiao Feng "But you will have to pay me, for damaging what belongs to me."

"Does it belong to you? What do you mean by that?!"

"Well, it's very simple actually. I paid a huge price for your child to be mine. Oh sorry. Your ex son."

"You…" Xiao Feng pushed Noah to the side "Oops! Careful there crown." and he held Xiao Yun's shoulders and squeezed them "Say that what he said is a lie, kiddo. It says!"

Smiling, Xiao Yun looked at him "I'm sorry Mr. Feng. But would you please let me go?"

"Oh you…" He raised his hand and brought it towards Yun's face. But before his palm could reach it, a firm voice continued to say, "You are asking, that you two go back inside."

"Oh yes of course." replied Arthur. As he walked up the few steps beside him, he looked at Sophia "Come on Sophia, I have a lot to talk to you about yet."

After hearing her father's order, Sophia began to follow him. But when Noah saw them leaving, he ran after them and, looking back, exclaimed, "What the hell are you doing? Hurry up!"

Letting go of your father. Xiao Yun ran quickly to Noah.

As he looked at his son, running after someone else, Xiao Feng clenched his fists. And the more angry he felt, the stronger he squeezed them "How dare you boy?! I'll make you come back with me today, so just wait…"

*********

As they passed through a door made of red wood, Noah and the others found themselves in a huge hall. A hall where, there was only a table with a few chairs around it, right in the center. There were five chairs in total. And of these five, three chairs were already occupied.

And hearing the simple sound of the door opening. The old man with white hair and beard, who was wearing a set of golden clothes and, sitting in the central chair at the table, said "Are you back? But what happened, for you two to have…" he looked at Arthur and everyone else behind him. "But who are these people?

Arthur started to walk to the table "I'm sorry sir." he pointed to Sophia "This is my daughter. And these are some friends of hers."

"Okay, but… what are they doing here?"

"Well…"

Noah held up his hand. "If you would allow, could I answer this question?"

Seeing the old man nod his head. Noah took a few steps further "I just came here to pay a debt. So you don't have to worry about having your meeting messed up."

"To pay off a debt? And what debt would that be? Can I know?"

"But of course. You see sir, a few days ago, Mr. Radiance saved my life. And not to owe anything. I came here today, just to pay him for doing this."

"And you intend to pay using what?"

Noah took the space bag from his waist. "With this sir." he walked up to Arthur, who was a few steps away from him, and handed over the bag "So, as I've already done what I wanted. I will retire now, and let you get on with your meeting."

With outfits in dark blue. Long black hair. The man who was sitting on the old man's right, stood up and while smiling said "Wait young man. But you won't even let us show what's inside the bag?"

"This is not necessary." said Arthur.

Entering through the door and passing between Sophia and the others. Xiao Feng arrived smiling and said, "But of course it is. He messed up our meeting. So the compensation he gave you must be very good. For him to have had the courage to do that."

"He gave it to me! So you have no right to ask to see her."

"…But I confess, now I'm a little curious too." said the old man.

"What? But sir…" Arthur looked at Noah but didn't understand why his expression was so indifferent to that. But reluctantly, Arthur squeezed the space bag with his hand and said, "Okay, Sir. I will go see what I was given…"

It was weird, but after Arthur said that, a small smile appeared on Noah's face. And the only one who was able to notice it was the old man 'But what's with this boy…'
