A Tale of Chase and Love s1

30 minutes later…

The 4 of them sighed as they sat on the floor.

“Ahh, so tired!” Li Hua muttered.

“Me two!” said baby Yao.

Vanessa had been finally revived and was currently sleeping.

‘Untouchable Peony’ said that she’d wake up in two hours.

“Thanks everyone. And Lan… here,” baby Yao took off her tiara and gave it to Lan with a smile. “Take it. You deserve it.” she added and Lan quickly snatched it from her hand for fear that she’d change her mind.

“So while resting, let’s get to know each other. I’ll start first.” said baby Yao.

“Okay!” the rest chorused.

“Well. I’m Yao, princess of Butterly Kingdom.” Yao introduced.

“So that means that your Mama here is a queen?” Lan asked.

“Yes. But she somehow came here and married my dumb father.”

“Oh, that hot dude outside’s your dad? Sigh, he indeed is a wrong choice for your mum. He’s handsome but you are ugly.” said ‘Untouchable peony’.

This irked baby Yao.

“Don’t interrupt me. You’re even worse looking than shit.” she cursed.

“Shit is still useful to dogs but you are sewage. Terribly useless,” ‘Untouchable peony’ countered.

“Hey!” baby Yao became even more pissed.

From her clenched fists you could tell that she was fighting not to erupt. First, there was this evil Lan and now the healer seems to have a knack for irritating people. They dare gang up on her, a royalty, a real princess for that matter. How despicable!

“Are you going to finish up your introduction?” Lan asked. She wasn’t here to listen to them argue.

“Fine. I’m just a few hours old and I did all this to save mother. Thankfully, she’s okay.”

“You’re just a few hours old? “Li Hua asked in shock.

“Yeah! Mum birthed me today.” baby Yao nodded in agreement.

“EH?” the others were shocked especially Lan and ‘Untouchable peony’.

So they were arguing with a few hours old baby? How unfair!

“This is my 3 year-old self and I did this so as to do my work well. But I’ll soon return to normal. Let’s finish up our introduction and I’ll unfreeze time. I’m getting weaker you know.”

“I’m sorry!” Lan apologized. “But you are indeed annoying. I just feel sorry for your father,”

“You!” baby Yao was getting tired of these two twisted ladies before her. Lan has a knack of irritating people and spoiling the fun for people. How frustrating!

“Heh… my turn now. I’m Lan and this is Li Hua my acknowledged sister/bestie and you can join us if you feel bored. We steal whatever we want and beat the hell outta bad guys. We even posted a politician’s naked photos on the web. We also crash into parties invited or not just for fun. But we also do good work as cleaners. We do well to clean everything in the company including the money and jewelry we found. Li Hua, I’ve introduced us; so let’s go now.” said Lan.

“You are evil girls? I like you. But you still need a bit of training. I’ll teach you how you put pepper on the senator’s undies, how to set bombs at the altar whenever an evil guy is marrying a second or third wife. How to embarrass proud celebs and how to torture your victims especially rapists. Yeah, I’m called ‘The untouchable peony’ cos I’m pretty, sexy, brained but poisonous. Call me Zhang Mei,” she finally introduced herself.

“Wow, that sounds exciting. We’ll definitely find you.” Lan was very excited unlike Li Hua who facepalmed.

“You three are bad guys? I wanna faint now.” said baby Yao.

“Please, do so now so we can get our hands on your wings.” Lan advised.

“Eh? You took my tiara already!” baby Yao almost erupted. How annoying would this Lan get?

“Look, princess Yao, we’re all bad girls here. At such young age, you are already scheming. I can’t tell how much headache you’ll bring to your parents in the future.” Zhang Wei praised.

“Forget it. I need to unfreeze time now. I need your help too.” said baby Yao in a sleepy tone.

“Any rewards?” Lan asked with shining eyes.

“I won’t give you my wings,” baby Yao was once more pissed.

“I was just joking. But if you got any rewards, it’d be nice.” said Lan.

“Hmph, you think I’ve forgotten the slap you gave to me. You’re just a newborn but you dare hit me, your senior sister. If I don’t discipline you well before I leave, then I’m not Lan. And Li Hua, just you wait! We’re gonna have a long battle tonight.” Lan thought.

“You’ll get a nice reward then,” baby Yao said defeat

“Great! Let’s do the job!” Lan jumped up in delight.

Li Hua wondered what happened to Lan today. She had an inkling that something like a storm was brewing at home.

Back in India at Theresa’s maternal grandparents home…

Yuvraj Sharma and his wife, Priya Sharma, have almost turned India and Germany upside down in search of their son in-law and Marabelle.

Marabelle’s parents in Germany were at first happy that their only baby was alive but the fact that she’s missing made them unable to sleep well.

They used their money to print fliers and personally handed them to people; in hopes of seeing their daughter again. They’d become slim now.

Their neighbors, some of Marabelle’s classmates, friends, relatives and some well-wishers also helped in the search.

Now both presidents had to find two people. One well-known and the other unpopular. Sigh!

Yuvraj Sharma was very restless and kept making calls but nothing was going through. Even after hiring the best investigator in the world, there was still no information. He took his glasses and looked at the roof.

What the hell did he do to deserve this? They were still troubled by Theresa’s disappearance and Aarti’s demise. But now they also had to frantically search for Clark and Marabelle to no avail.

He felt useless. His wife started drinking but he had no time to stop her. He told his trustee aides to monitor her. In his entire life, he’d never come across this sort of situation.

Suddenly, one of the servants made for him from downstairs.

“What is it?” Yuvraj asked in annoyance.

Time was precious; he didn’t have a second to spare even for himself.

“Master, please forgive me for my impudence but I really had to come here to tell you the news.” the black-haired male servant said hastily.

“Speak!” Yuvraj Sharma commanded.

“Master, a man has come with news on Mr. Clark.”

Hearing this sentence, Yuvraj immediately sat up.

“Bring him in!”

“Yes, master!” the servant scurried downstairs to fulfill the order.

2 minutes later, he came up with a young man with green hair. Yuvraj frowned for a moment.

“Kids these days! They never learn any good thing. All they do is shame their family. Look at this boy dying his hair to green of all colors. Despicable!” he thought but didn’t show his disapproval on his face. He stood up and shook hands with the youth.

“Hello sir, nice to meet you.” the youth had a rather melodious deep voice.

“Maybe he’s a singer. But does he have to go to this length just to be famous? I don’t even know him!” Yuvraj complained internally.

” Yeah, nice to meet you, boy.” he replied.

” Can I sit?” the youth asked.

” Of course you can.”

Both sat down opposite each other. Yuvraj sized the youth up again. He wore sneakers, blue denim jeans, a loose black top and had two earrings.

“Well let me get down to business, sir. I have a few speculations of where those two might be. They are no longer with us on Earth.” the youth casually spoke like he was talking about food.

Startled, Yuvraj’s eyes widened. Pointing at the rather unserious youth who even had time to cross his legs and admire his surroundings, Yuvraj stood up.

“What did you say?” he was unwilling to believe such cod swallop.

” Old man, I mean Sir, I’m saying the truth. They can’t be found here. But I can tell you where to begin searching. Don’t worry, they aren’t dead.” the youth said lazily.

” You! How dare you? Do you believe I’ll blow your head off right now for this insult?” Yuvraj barked.

“Feel free!” the youth shrugged without a care. “But I want you to think twice about your actions.”

“Fine!” Yuvraj sat again.

He reasoned that this youth must be one of the kidnappers and daring to show himself here meant this was no simple matter. Or could be be a scammer? If he was, then his bones would not be enough for Lulu, his dog to eat.

“So state your price. What’s the ransom. I want my son in-law back.” he said in a lower tone after signalling all his servants to leave.

“You’re quite smart but stupid. Yeah! Very stupid. Hahahaha.” the youth hit his knee in laughter.

“I’m Aqualino Sandz not a singer, kidnapper nor scammer, old man. I mean… Sir.”

“You..!” Yuvraj was shocked speechless. How did this boy know his thoughts.

“You are quite interesting though. If you want to search for your in-law , then start from space. Visit as many planets as you can but not the Milky way galaxy. That’s all I can say. Your son in-law is enjoying in a magical world. So I expect the hundred billion transferred to my account tonight. Here’s my account number,” the youth placed a paper on the table and stood up to leave.

“You think I’m a two year old huh? Men, arrest this fool and place him in torture room 24.” he commanded.

But he heard an applause from the youth.

“Like I said old man, I mean Sir, you are smart but stupid. If you can catch me then…”

The youth could say no more because he was poured water by a ‘scared’ maid.

“I’m sorry… so sorry Sir. It wasn’t on purpose. Please… I… I am sorry.” the maid apologized, looking flustered. But if you look closely, you would see mockery in her eyes.

Yuvraj wanted to sigh because of this girl. Playing tricks again?

“You b*tch! How dare you… um… I… where’s the bathroom?” the youth urgently asked.

” Why? Is the cold water burning your skin?” Yuvraj asked in mockery.

” Please let me… you get lost!” the youth barked.

” Yes, sir!” she quickly ran out and closed the door to the hall.

“I can’t escape then. Sigh!” the youth muttered and fell to the floor with a gigantic golden snake tail replacing his legs.

Yuvraj was beyond words but the youth shrugged as he took out a towel from the black ring on his finger and covered his upper part where his crotch should be.

“Why stare at me like that? You don’t watch the Naagin series? Those rascals tails are terribly ugly. Mine is the real deal.” the youth (whom I will now call Aqualino) said.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“You are a fish!” Yuvraj exclaimed, shocking the youth.
