    Chapter 1687: First Encounter VI


    Life after returning home remained the same. The turmoil caused by the kidnapping quickly subsided,


    and life returned to its peaceful state. The young man continued to sleep, attend sses, and train as


    usual.


    The milk bun girl disappeared from his life just as quickly as she had appeared. No one knew of her


    existence except for him, and it was almost as if she had never been there at all.


    However...


    asionally when he was alone, he would look up at the sky in the distance and remember fragments


    of what the milk bun girl had said. He couldn''t help but feel a sense of confusion in his dark eyes during


    those moments.


    When it came to being her knight in shining armor, not only did he have to be romantic with his words


    but also have plenty of money. She loved living in ces withrge floor-to-ceiling windows, white wall


    carvings, high domes overheads, blue swimming pools and gardens filled with various flowers...


    During these times when he thought about her wishes for a luxurious lifestyle; even though he didn''t


    show it on his face often - sometimes a momentary sh of confusion could be seen in his dark eyes.


    His father remainedzy yet strict while his mother always looked at him with worry etched into her


    expression.


    This situation persisted until his twelfth birthday arrived.


    Lauren had prepared for this day meticulously; waking up early that morning to get everything ready.


    Although not one who enjoyed crowds or attention drawn towards himself - he wouldn''t go against what


    family wanted either way.


    With both parents apanying him - they celebrated what seemed like an incredibly happy birthday


    filled with surprises ording to outsiders'' perspectives.


    At the end of the birthday banquet, Lauren suddenly hugged him tightly.


    It was an unusual strength, as if she wanted to turn her son back into a baby and cradle him in her


    arms again.


    Lauren hadn''t hugged him like this since he could walk on his own.


    The young boy sensed something different and was about to ask when Lauren let go of him. She


    touched his hair, her eyes turning red but with a smile on her face. "Your father has something to tell


    you. Go find him."


    The boy found his father on the rooftop.


    He stood at the edge of the rooftop, with a night sky full of stars above and a bustling city below.


    The man in ck had long hair and was tall and slender in the eyes of the twelve-year-old boy. He


    seemed unfathomable.


    There were no extra emotions on his face, just a slight frown. "Mother cried."


    Father turned around to look at him with those same dark eyes that mirrored his own but without any

    light in them - onlyplexity hidden within them.


    He looked at his twelve-year-old son. "Do you know what is most regretful in this world?"


    The young boy froze for a moment before answering hesitantly, "Not never having met someone but


    meeting someone yet not being qualified to have them?"


    As he spoke those words, something flew towards them from behind Father''s back - it was a knife!


    The young boy caught it instinctively then stood there frozen for several seconds before finally


    regainingposure.


    A knife specially prepared for him! It was an agreement between father and son that he would ask for


    this knife when he found the meaning of his life. The man turned and walked towards the door, "Get


    out, you won''t make anything of yourself, don''te back."


    The young boy stood alone in the night wind for a long time, slowly clenching the knife in his hand.


    Eventually, he walked towards where the child had been taken away.


    Three monthster, Riddle Group Empire underwent a change of dynasty as a five-year-old girl


    ascended to the throne and began her thirteen-year iron-fisted rule.


    That same year saw the rise of Dark Empire within Alliance territory. A twelve-year-old boy ventured


    into that bloody quagmire alone and embarked on a lifetime under supreme dark emperor''s


    authoritarian rule.


    Two yearster came Enforcement Court which established three major irond rules: all grudges


    within Dark Empire must not harm family members; no violence against minors or pregnant women is


    allowed!


    Another year passed by with all organizations involved in kidnapping children disappearing from


    Alliance territory. For over ten years since then there has been no reported case of abduction or


    trafficking.


    The young boy gradually grew into a man but it seemed like that girl who had caught his eye during


    childhood waspletely gone from his life. If nobody mentioned her name anymore even he thought


    that he had forgotten about herpletely.


    It wasn''t until thirteen yearster when a ck-haired man dressed in ck clothes happened to see


    that girl again outside Creephia Civil Affairs Bureau with her white dress fluttering around her slender


    figure and those mischievous eyes twinkling like stars at him while holding up red household


    registration book saying "Mister, do you want to get married? I''ll treat you."
