Chapter 97: The Book
A waiter walked over to Yu Sha and Su Na's booth with their drinks. The waiter gently put down the drinks on the table asking if they are ready to put in their orders, to which they were readied and took their orders.
The short wavy hairs girl turned to the other friend, "Mala, what about you? Any success with that doctor of yours?"
Mala sighed and unhappily replied with a depressed expression, "No, no progress yet. I'm not bold like you Kalias."
Kalias giggled happily, "Hehe... It was love at first sight for him. He did the chasing and I just reeled in the bait. If any, Kao Sheng here probably will get the number one most desired man in the nation. I'm sure many women will be jealous of you." The three friends giggled among themselves.
Mala added to Kalias comment, "Very true, your status is high enough to be the future Queen. Your family has been serving the country for many generations, now you are currently lecturing at the Prestige Aires Military Sector. Aren't you lucky?"
Yu Sha and Su Na thought, no wonder why she had such a passive snobby attitude, she was of a noble family. Some wealthy elite can be shady, just not upfront shady but they do it passively. Now it got them wondering who the Prince was since Kao Sheng seemed to very much in love.
Yu Sha sipped her drink before asking Su Na, "Do you want me to start researching on contractors for your empire? I could draft a few companies for you in my spare time."
Su Na thought since she would be busy finalizing the draft and then looking for land, it was not a bad idea to let Yu Sha to take that part. Yu Sha could start looking at potentials beforehand. She smiled at her best friend's suggestion, "Mm... I appreciated it."
Kao Sheng looked at Su Na. Empire? So those two are building an empire, by themselves? Last time when she came home from the cruise, she had researched them and found out that they are from a very ordinary family with no wealth or prestige. How could they possibly start building an empire even before turning 23?
She did find out that they were quite smart among their age and graduated earlier than their cohort, landed on their first project on their last year of college. Their career took them to stardom right off the bat. Now, they were working at one of the projects that her Prince has the final say in.
Kao Sheng didn't bother to acknowledge Su Na and Yu Sha and they didn't bother to acknowledge her either. The two groups kept their distance and continue to chit chat among their own group though Kao Sheng was paying close attention to Su Na and Yu Sha's conversation.
Su Na was the boss and so young. She appeared in the news, TVs and talk shows just like a celebrity. Kao Sheng felt threatened by someone of Su Na's fame.
Over an hour later, the two best friends finished their food and quickly paid their bills before heading back to the hotel to get their luggage. Once they did so, they went back to the cruise and continued their work.
The schedule for the rest of the week was the same as usual, everyone got up in the morning and then assembled out on the port before splitting into groups.
Prince Hue Chi had a busy schedule while at Trimedeis. There was no spare time for anything other than the very important things related to trade and meeting business collaborators and investors.
He told Prince Ken Xue that he had something urgent to take care of last minute and couldn't idle for long. So, on the third day after he finished his business, he flew overnight back home.
At Prince Hue Chi's Palace, he rested for a few hours after he arrived. When he got some rest, Hue Chi ordered Butler Zeu to not let anyone disturb him for the next few hours.
This morning was a stormy one, outside, the rain poured heavily; thunder roared through the air like an angry, injured dragon. Lightning flashed in the skies like soldiers clashing on the war zone.
Still sitting on the bed, Prince Hue Chi stared at the entrance of his spacious closet with deep eyes. Some time passed by and he hasn't moved an inch. After staring at the entrance with heavy eyes and feeling uncertain, he finally got up.
Hue Chi walked slowly towards the direction of his closet and went up to the shelf where 'The Legend' was stored.
Hue Chi stood by the shelf lost in his thoughts as if his consciousness was in a different plane. Would he find a clue to his dreams? Are those dreams fragmented memories of his past lives? Will it open the door to his Akashic Records? Will he come into possession of knowledge about himself that he doesn't already know or is not aware of?
After a long contemplation, Hue Chi took a big breath and reached for the chest box.
He pulled out the chest box and carried it back to the table by the couch close to the window. Hue Chi gently laid it on the table and lifted the lid.
Inside the box was a tattered old, diary titled The Legend. It was just a regular book with loose pages sewn together. He observed it and there was evidence of loose sheets being added to the spinal bone of the book. Could it be that it ran out of pages? Or is it that someone kept writing and adding to the journal?
Finally, after observing the book, Hue Chi's finger flipped the cover page open and at the same time, his phone rang causing him to pause. Hue Chi looked at his phone screen and saw Lue Han's name on the screen. He thought it might be related to work, something important, so he answered the call.
"Hello? Prince? I'm sorry to disturb you, but there has been an accident at the construction site."
Hue Chi furrowed his brows and sternly asked, "What happened?"
"Well...earlier this morning, the weather was ok, so a few men decided to finish up some work, but as they were high up in the air, lightning struck two people holding on a pole and they fell down. I'm at the hospital. I just want to report that to you."
"Keep me posted." Hue Chi replied and then hung up. He set the phone down on the table and leaned back onto the backrest, clasping his hands on his knee.
