Chapter-3
After Song Xian was done looking over the details, she left the room in a hurry. While Han Xiao decided to relax for a while and slept on his soft and warm bed as he was mentally exhausted after thinking over again and again.
Step. Step.
Meanwhile, Song Xian walked the corridor with the notebook in her hand. Her expression was calm, but there was panic in her eyes. Servants wearing maids' and butler's uniforms continued to bow to her as a form of greeting.
"Good Morning Mistress Song!"
"Greetings, Mistress Song!"
She gave a nod to all the workers as a gesture of returning the greetings while showing a small smile.
There were 3 floors in the mansion with over 50 rooms. Collectively both the residents and servants lived in the mansion. It was something that was done by the previous head.
Han Xiao's room was on the 2nd floor, left side. While Song Xian's destination was on the 3rd floor, which she reached in around some minutes.
3rd Floor was the place where the senior members of the family lived. And at the same time, it was the floor where the head of the family, Han Zhuang lived, who was also the father of Han Xiao.
Knock.
Song Xian stood in front of his office room and knocked on the door and waited patiently. The door was a double side wooden door.
"Enter", After a minute, she received the reply.
Opening the door, she entered the room. The room was simple, the simplest you could call it to be. The walls were plain brown. There were only two sofas along with a table in the center of the sofas. And directly in front of the gate was a table, a working table with many documents laid over it.
Behind the table was a man sitting while frowning as he looked over the documents in his hand. The man had blazing red hair and red eyes. His build was muscular, around 190 cm. He looked like a hot-headed man from the first impression.
He was Han Zhuang. The man whose words contained enough power to change the working of the country on small scale.
At the same time, he was also Han Xiao's father.
Han Zhuang lifted his head as he looked at his wife entering the room. A smile was bought on his face when he saw his wife. After all, his family was the main pillar of his heart.
But soon, his smile turned into a frown as the expression on his wife's face was that of worry instead of the usual smile he was used to seeing.
What happened? That thought roamed in his head.
Song Xian stood in front of her husband. Her face that was calm before broke down now. After all, the main pillar of the house was also the pillar of her heart too. Her face radiated her worry.
Her husband looked at her worriedly as she was staying silent for a minute, "Xian'er, what happened?"
"Sigh…" She sighed.
Then, she placed the notebook in her hand on the table and looked at her husband, "I think Xiao'er has a premature awakening. And it's rather worrying ability."
Han Zhuang's expression of worry crumbled apart. Instead, tension was evident on his face as he nodded and picked up the notebook placed on his table. While Song Xian placed herself on the chair.
He pointed at the book confusedly, "What is this book? And what is the worrying ability?"
"I think Xiao'er awakened his ability is able to see the future in form of dreams. He had a dream in the morning about destruction. And, that destruction was solved by three people." She paused for a moment and took a breath before continuing, "He remember none about them, but he remembered about the humans who were attacking other humans. This book here is the written details of those humans and he also mentioned that date on calender was 2031."
Saying that Song Xian leaned on the chair while Han Zhuang opened the notebook and started reading with a serious expression. It took him just one look to see everything on a page and quickly shifted to the next page.
Flip.
After some seconds, he placed the book down and looked at his wife, "Xian'er, did everything he said was the truth?"
Even though it pained his heart not to believe his child, the thing was not so small as to not consider the possibility of everything being a child's prank. But a part of him knew that everything was true as the details were not something that could be made in 10 minutes.
Song Xian nodded, "Yes. My skill is always active, and it never alerted me that he had lied, not even once. So, he is saying the truth."
"Sigh…"
Han Zhuang released a sigh as he closed his eyes and massaged his temples. He had full trust in his wife's abilities after all, so his doubt of it being a child's prank was also removed. 'Well…nothing could be done now…'
After a minute, he opened his eyes and looked at his wife seriously, "I will look into these people mentioned by Xiao'er, and at the same time, I will make sure that no information on his premature awakening was released outside. Also, you should also make sure that he stays silent about his ability."
"I know, I will tell him about that soon. And, if you managed to find the kids that matched this description then make them come to the mansion. I want Xiao'er to select whether they are the same or not and also, have him not to develop fear regarding the people due to his ability."
Han Zhuang nodded, "No problem, just give me a week."
Song Xian smiled hearing the reply. She trusted her husband's ability to do all the work after all. But there was still something that was worrying her heart which was also the main reason she had reached her husband just after hearing everything from her son.
"What about his security? I know you should have some people assigned to him, but I think you should increase the security-focused on him."
Even though she was his wife, and also a mistress of the house, she was not the only mistress. She had her own part and work in the house, but there were many things that no mistress could control. Only the head of the family could do those things.
And one of those things was the authority over the security group that lurked in the darkness.
'Shadows'
Snap.
Han Zhuang smiled at his wife's worry and snapped his fingers.
Swish.
Around 10 figures covered in complete black appeared in the room. They were all on one knee in front of Han Zhuang's table. None of them had their head raised showing their respect and loyalty.
When those figures appeared, the air around Han Zhuang changed. His demeanor was like an Emperor's. Like a ruler. His expression was completely serious, not a hint of love or worry that he showed in front of his wife remained.
"Assign five people from your department to protect the youngest. You are allowed to take action if anything suspicious happened around him, and you could decide what to do in this situation. Whether kill or apprehend the preparator while keeping the safety of youngest."
His voice was like an imperial decree presented by the Emperor.
"Yes Sir!!"
The one who was in the center answered. The voice was hard to tell whether it was a man, woman, young, old, or what was the emotions behind that voice.
Han Zhuang nodded and then waved his hand, "Go now."
The figures vanished the very next moment after his words.
Song Xian seeing that smiled. Her heart relaxed too, after all, she was most worried about his security. Han Zhuang's expression also relaxed but there was still a worried look in his eyes.
Song Xian then stood from her chair and walked beside her husband. Reaching beside him, she bent her body a little and gave a kiss on her husband's cheek.
[Skill 'Minor Blessing' has been used.]
A notification popped in front of Song Xian's eyes. She ignored it like usual.
[You have temporarily received 'Minor Blessing' for 30 minutes.]
[Your Luck has risen by 3%!]
[Strength has been increased by 5%!]
[Stamina has been increased by 5%!]
[You have gained immunity to low-rank debuffs for the next 30 minutes!]
[Condition 'Tiredness' has been eliminated due to the 'Minor Blessings' effect.]
These notifications appeared in front of Han Zhuang's eyes. His body become full of power, and the tiredness he was feeling vanished.
He gazed at his wife's black eyes and without a moment of hesitation, he grabbed her by her waist and lifted her, and made her sit on his lap.
Both of them looked into each other's eyes and slowly, their faces bought together and they connected their lips.
