On the day of mission, they meet up at the 'PurpleMoney' Clan aircraft base as planned. Ming ChanQi arrives with Min Hyunjae in a 'glittering' matte black spaceship.
Looking closely, Jiwon realised it was designed like a giant flying mammal..?
"What is that?" he squints
"The NacroBun. BigBun's battle spaceship" ChanQi answered walking towards the waiting Ven.
"Yah brat!! I. AM. YOUR. HYUNG!!" Hyunjae 'fumes'
"Yes BunBun hyung~" the Hexan drawls with a charming smirk
"You-!!"
"Let's not keep cutie waiting" Qi cuts, gently patting the senior on the thic muscled back before quickly 'escaping' into the spaceship with a chuckling Jiwon in front of him.
Jiwon is toured around the spaceship as Hyunjae prepares for takeoff.
"NacroBun uses ionized diamond plasma engines and is able to warp via either the subspace collapsar engine or through 'Diamond-Grade' energy crystals. This is 'Yeshuwa', the ship's AI" Hyunjae introduced.
"Hello Masters" the system greets. A hologhraph of a tall female rabbit dressed in a butler's attire bows respectfully.
"Hi Yeshuwa" Jiwon smiles
"Hello girl" ChanQi greets with a smile.
Hyunjae tsked rolling his eyes.
"Yeshuwa can display upto half of the current collected universal database. Including galactic history, technology, civilization, a map of several 10,000 nearby stars, and teleportation system that can teleport to any of the places acquired on the database. No matter anywhere in the universe. The NacroBun is outfitted with a strong force field that can withstand anything short of stellar energies and will also return twice the energy attack to the attackers. The weapons are made to devastate and withstand any warship or spacecrafts that are upto three times it's size and power using a hybrid of crystal star shards and thermonuclearion cannon, which can destabilize a star, causing it to go supernova within 30mins but sadly I dare not use it" The senior pouts.
"Why?" Jiwon curiously blinks, his sparkling cherry pink eyes etched with confused disappointment. He already felt amazed by how powerful this 'small' spaceship looks, but it's weapons makes his heart race with excitement.
"The Balancer" Hyunjae sighs
"Oh~..." Jiwon nods also with a pout. "That's bad though"
ChanQi watched as the two loudly sigh in 'regret' as if it was a sad thing to not attempt destroying a whole star, feeling highly amused.
"Anyways, the ship has a large hanger that can carry 300 mini spacecraft which are usually piloted by Yeshuwa, 200 vibranium grade mechas and over 15,000 trained soldiers, because NacroBun is actually a weapon storage space that has a capacity of half a planet" Hyunjae concludes.
"It also has a mini resort with premium royal suites and nice bars too" ChanQi adds with pride and a little greed.
"MoneyGhouls and alcohol" Hyunjae tsks
"How did BigBun hyung get a high-level military weapon as a personal spaceship?" Jiwon asks in wonder.
"Because Eomma and Mama gifted it to me as a 'coming-of-age' birthday present" a soft smile tugs at Hyunjae's lips at the sweet core memory.
"That's soo cool hyung" Jiwon gives him two thumbs up, his cherry pink eyes shone with admiration.
Hyunjae chuckles, lightly ruffling the powder blue fluffy hair of the tiny Ven.
"Thanks pretty" his fingers lightly 'bops' the small chin.
After everything was setup, they took off on their adventure together, with a mission to trace down Lu Gui and his supposedly 'loving' mistress, Mu Soya.
From the reports given to Jiwon, Lu Gui's mistress had hurriedly gone back to the shared mansion and taken almost every single valuable he could lay his dirty sleazy fingers on and disappeared before Lu Gui could come back from his now very frequent obsession with the underground casinos.
But before disappearing off radar, Mu Soya still had the conscience to forward Lu Gui a video of Jiwon's threat.
'The little shit has the backing of the new Monarchys. Dissappear before he finds you. It was really a waste of my efforts and time on you two useless father and son!!'
"Well..that's thoughtful of him" Jiwon shrugs
"Tch" Hyunjae rolled his eyes
"Anyways I'm still going to kill a bitch or two" the Ven giggles
Finding Lu Gui was farely easy seeing as the cowardly man could only ran to the LuHe ancestral shrine for protection. Knowing fully well that is the only way he can survive and keep his head.
When the trio arrived at the LuHe main house, where the old female former 'patriach' resides, he was welcomed in by the old lady herself.
Hyunjae and ChanQi waited in the aircar that they rode into the LuHe estate villa. Grandma Lu could still feel the fiery aura of chaos surrounding the small Ven sitting across her.
"These old bones are too close to stepping into the next journey and would wish for you to take over everything" the 420 star-years old female Sen sighs, placing a black box made with aura sealing materials on the table "See this as a way to pacify your anger little one"
"Can I ask a question Madame Lu?" Jiwon's voice sounded as chilled as his heart is for the name Lu.
"Yes child" the elder sighs
"Why did you let all this happen?" his brows furrows
That has always been the number one question.
Why?
Why let it happen when it could have been stopped?
Why was his eomma forced to stay in a loveless and painful relationship even though she wanted to leave after the first year of marriage?
Why did his eomma have to be pressured and forced to compromise to give birth for a man who dispised her very being?
Why did she have to go through soo much humiliation and mockery just so her sons can inherit what rightfully belonged to them, whilest the elders could have easily annulled it and eomma would have been alive now?
Why did his eomma have to die just to get her freedom?
Just why?
"Why my eomma?" his tone was soft and low. But the old ears of Patriach Lu could hear the pain, sadness and anger in his tone. Not only that, she could also hear the yearning of a cub for his mother.
"My hands were tied. As simple of a solution it would have been to dissolve it all and keep your eomma alive, it would have caused a big 'mandela effect' to all social and economic circle. Especially with her being the heiress of four powerful noble family. Also, finding someone who is anywhere close to 50% mate-match was considered a big miracle just a hundred star-years ago but they.. were a rare 78% matched. They all thought as time went by, they will get better. But rather, things went the far opposite. Despite my request to dissolve the sham of a facade, my hands were rather 'strangled' into helplessness. The only thing I could do for her was help put you under her wings and make sure you bared her surnames. She loved you as much as your hyung"
She gave a sad smile. Her mind going through memories of her beautiful young daughter-inlaw paying her visits on a regular, trying to find ways to keep her little stepson safe. Before her death, she had already made it easier for her first son JinHo, to successfully adopt little Jiwon as a child of the Ok family and made the second heir. But unfortunately, she did not live to see it happen.
"Grandma is sorry for her incompetence" she humbly bows.
Jiwon bites back the sorrowfull whimper that nearly escaped his pressed lips. Remembering the beautiful caramel brown eyes that reminds him of sweets and warmth, that gentle round face and sweet smile that is forever etched in his memory.
The comforting, loving warm hugs. Dreamy enchanting lullabies and the sheer happiness that literally radiates off the beautiful woman he calls 'eomma'.
"Sorry won't bring her back. I hoped the blood of the two vile beings that pushed her to her death would make her rest better.." he blinks the tears away and takes a deep breath to calm his crumbling emotional brain.
"... but for your sake I shall spare Lu Gui... until your death" Jiwon slowly pulls the black crystal box to himself, he opens the lid and sees two seals and two precious spirit jade tokens in it. They held very powerful auras.
A seal and token represents the Lu family and the He family. A glowing royal purple hibiscus carved out from a high grade Celestial stone, encased in a round gray moon carved out from a higher grade Spirit stone, represents the Lu family.
A dagger made of unknown high grade spirit metal but bejeweled with rare high grade celestial stones of different colours and sizes on the hilt and case represents the He family.
Although Jiwon has been given over 70 percent of the He family power, he is still the 'heir' of the family. But with this seals, he fully owns and can fully control both families as the rightful head.
"For as long as you live, Lu Gui shall live. That is the best I can do to show my respect to you Madame Lu" he says, raising his head to look directly into the cherry pink eyes that very much resembles his.
The old lady chuckles.
"Fair enough"
The useless bastard she calls her son did try to kill his own children for the position of head of the He family afterall.
He meets up with the two Sens at the entrance of the mansion and they flew back to the NacroBun.
"You good cutie?" ChanQi asks, passing him a bottle of water.
"I'm okay" he answered. "I just wished I could kill that man" he frowns
"It's not too late pretty" Hyunjae smirks
Jiwon laughs. Feeling more at ease.
"I will. Just not now" he takes out the black rectangular case from his pocket-space
"He dies when the old lady dies"
"That may be a long time hun" Hyunjae sighs
"I know. But I own both families now" Jiwon smiles, opening the case to reveal the LuHe family precious 'staffs-of authority'.
Hyunjae and ChanQi raised a brow, feeling impressed with the exchange.
"At least he's got an expiry date" Hyunjae nods in approval, making his two companions laugh.
"Anyways, I'd like to commission your service" Jiwon turns to Hyunjae.
"I am at your service cutie" Hyunjae replies with a charming grin.
ChanQi felt his ears burn and throat dry at the sight.
'So godly handsome'
"I-I want you to help me keep this s-safe" Jiwon flushed at the overly handsome youngman.
"Noo~ problem" he gave a cute smile. "I'll send you their datarised file after this mission is over"
"T-thank y-you.."
"...!!" Sen ChanQi nearly groans out at the adorably handsome senior and cute shy junior. Their interaction is soo freaking cute!!!!.
