Chapter 109: We Found Her
Chapter 109: We Found Her
2 months later.
Marcus, Emily, Eva, and Nexus' lives had been peaceful these past 2 months. No trouble came knocking on their door.
The explosion that happened at 'The Corner' didn't affect their business in any way. Leo got the insides of the building fixed, bought new furniture, and hired a few new employees. After all that, 'The Corner' was back in business as if nothing happened. Customers came rushing in the same as the past nights. This was, of course, two months ago. Recently, 'The Corner' has changed quite a bit.
The families that received money from Eva were grateful as some of those that were killed were breadwinners of the family and most of the people in their lives depended on them.
Although Marcus' life was peaceful, Estra wasn't. Skirmishes happened from time to time between the Strongwald family and the Frey family.
The video of Kin molesting Luten went viral not only in Estra but also in other countries. Views reached billions and the incident was even covered by every news channel. The Frey family tried to contain it but they had no control over the other countries.
For the Frey, this was an absolute humiliation, they now see Kin as an abomination.
Luten who never expected Kin to act that way was demanding an explanation together with his father. He thought that Kin and he would have a civil talk and walk away. It was difficult for him to understand what Kin was thinking at that time.
He also cursed his classmates who just stood by the side and watched. However, he didn't really blame them. He understood what they were thinking.
The Strongwald family was in an even more chaotic state. When they heard of what happened, the family immediately called Senator Bong who was, at that time, in a meeting.
When Bong heard the news he immediately left the meeting without saying anything, shouting all the way to his car as he talked to the family on his watch. The people who were at the sides made sure to keep a safe distance away from him.
Kin was neutralized and was brought back home by a professor. When he woke up, he was already sitting on a chair, surrounded by high-ranking family members of the family.
His hazy head started to remember what happened, what he did to Luten. His eyes widened as he kept shouting, saying that it was not his fault and that he couldn't control himself. But, they didn't believe him and his disgusting lies.

One member of the family said that the reason he couldn't control himself was because of lust. What was even more disgusting is that it was with a man.
As a rich and prestigious family, they do not accept people of the same sex being together. For them, men should be with women and women should be with men. Kin, too, believed in this.
He kept defending himself but nothing worked. The family decided to put him somewhere to atone for his sins. They were also considering turning him into a eunuch to give the Frey family an explanation.
Senator Bong, who was one of the crowd, stayed silent.

Marcus together with Emily, Eva, and Nexus sat in a room with a large glowing white ball in the middle. At one side of the room was a bed, where a little girl lay, sleeping.
The mana in this room wasn't the same as the one outside. It was purer, even a lot purer than the mana in the heavenly realm.
After Marcus brokethrough the Commander Stage, a room was opened. It had an area of around 3000 square meters.
There was a ball placed at the center of the room that released mana.
Eva, Emily, and even Nexus were shocked. The purity of mana here was what they were familiar with.
This was Marcus' surprise for the three. In his past life, he had placed this ball in here just in case. For the people in the realm in his past life, this glowing white ball is quite expensive. Not because it can store mana, but because of the amount of mana it can store.
Marcus opened his eyes, stood up, and stretched. He had just hit rank 5 Commander Stage and his chaos mana is growing at an astonishing rate every single day.
With this, he'll be able to go back up to the heavenly realm quicker. Although he had retained his past life memories, in this life, the Asura Empire is his home, and Leia is his mother. He has the duty to keep both of them safe and make his empire rise back to its former glory.
"Closer, "Nexus sighed in relaxation as he stood up. He clenched his fist and his eyes turned purple.
Emily and Eva soon followed. They walked side by side with bright smiles on their faces.
Emily brokethrough rank 4 Commander Stage recently and so has Eva.
"Sometimes you just don't notice the time." Eva checked her watch. They still go out from time to time to show their faces, but the one mainly managing the company was Leo and Zoey. Eva would only come out a few times for meetings and interviews.
Marcus nodded. He goes to 'The Corner' once or twice a week at night just to show his mug to the paparazzi. News about him dropping out of Estra University was covered by a few stations. Some people now saw him as a typical young master from a rich family.
However, he didn't really drop out from Estra University, he just told the dean that he would come back from time to time and attend classes if he wants to.
Marcus went out of the Destrucstone together with the other three and went to eat breakfast.
"Our new drink will come out today," Eva spoke as they sat at the dining table.
"Is that the one where we collaborated with FutureX?" Emily asked. She has been the one who rarely came out of the house in the last two months. She holed up in the Destrucstone after the room with the white glowing ball opened and would only come out when Zoey and Maya came to visit. She's also the one who's usually taking care of Carmen.
Eva nodded. "Our advertisement was already up two days ago."
"Maya is a lot better now in front of the camera." Nexus chuckled.
"Leo brings her to a lot of parties, that's a lot more suspenseful compared to facing a camera." Eva had observed the relationship between Leo and Maya grow these past two months. The two lovebirds were getting closer by the day.
The four soon finished eating breakfast. Eva and Nexus went back to the stone together with Emily.
Marcus stayed behind. He answered the call from Leo. "Have you found her?"
Leo nodded. "Yes, we have, we finally found her."
Leo and Zoey had sent people who worked for their family to find Marcus' second wife. For two whole months, they scoured tons of countries both second rate and third rate.
Marcus broke into a smile.
"YES!" He shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Is she safe?" Marcus had been worried about his wife all this time. If he had the power to scour the galaxy by himself he definitely would.
"Yes, she also agreed to come with us without any hesitation." Leo showed a picture of his men meeting Trina.
Leo continued. "She also changed her name to Erika."
'Could it be?' Marcus was quite shocked by what Leo said.
"She'll be arriving tomorrow in one of the best ships we have, escorted by thousands of guards just like you ordered." Leo made sure everything went according to what Marcus wanted.
"Good, you and Zoey did a really great job, and for that, I am really grateful. I'll make sure to repay this favor in the future." Marcus slightly bowed his head. For him, this was a big deal.
Marcus' wives are more important to him than anything. He already achieved greatness and he hardly cares for those things anymore. What he did care about are his wives, his mother, his two sisters, and, well, Nexus.
Leo shook his head. "You saved my life, this is the least I can do."
'Well, my wives are more important than your life.' Marcus thought. "Still, you've done me a great favor. I'll be going to the spaceport tomorrow to meet her together with the others. Around what time should I be there?"
"They'll be arriving around seven or eight in the morning." Leo already asked the captain of the ship about this.
Marcus nodded and ended the call.
"Finally, we'll be complete," Marcus mumbled as he went into the Destrucstone to tell everyone the good news.

Erika sat cross-legged in her room on the ship, cultivating. Small emerald-colored sprites floated around her body. They swayed left and right.
Erika opened her eyes, showing her emerald-colored eyes. Her black hair went down to her shoulders.
"I'll finally be able to see them." She stood up and went to bed.
