For The Glory Of Sitia Empire

Chapter 122

At first, Lennox wanted to stealthily retrieve Everly then leave as fast as they could after finding that manual. However, a father's heart is really burdensome. The moment he saw her, all his plans crumbled on the spot.

The palm-sized flame that he picked up in Great Hell has grown up to be such a dazzling young lady. She became much taller and her features has sharpened, only a faint shadow of her younger self could be seen.

Looking at the dark blue edges of her black hair, Lennox faintly smiled. He remembered that no matter what color she dyed her hair, that blue part never changed, even after cutting it.

" She is as beautiful as ever...." Lennox suddenly mumbled.

Hearing that, Ashel on the side was dumbfounded. Maybe because Lennox has a parent filter that no matter what his kids looked like, they would always be pretty. But all that Ashel saw was a countryside bandit in the middle of abduction and robbery.

' Lord's eyesight has fallen too deep! '

Sapphire seemed to be looking for something as she kept rummaging through the stone cabinets. Knowing what she wanted, Lennox sighed and walked forward, saying in an audible voice.

" If you are looking for that hairpin, it should be in the seventh drawer of the twenty-third cabinet "

Sapphire froze for a second before quickly turning around in a defensive pose. Two dark blue flames appeared on her palms as she glared warily at the intruder.

" Who are y- "

Before she could complete her sentence, Everly's crisp voice rang excitedly.

" Lennox! "

With pata-pata steps, Everly happily ran towards him, only to abruptly stop after a few meters away. Remembering the crystal she broke from the bridge, Everly immediately made a bea turn and jumped under Ashel's protection.

Amused by her actions, Lennox noted in his mind to scare the little girl a bit once they return back. Her reactions are funny.

Seeing the fluff ball in her own brother's arms, Sapphire stood there dumbstruck. Not because he was was acting all lovey dovey with the cute girl she wanted to kidnap, but because of how he averted his gaze once their eyes met.

He clearly had a guilty conscience!

While Sapphire was burning holes in Bun-Bun's face, Lennox had already walked near her. She only realized it thanks to the noises he made while opening a drawer.

' How the heck can this guy walk around unnoticed! '

Although she was alerted, Sapphire is no longer as wary as before. Since her brother was the one who let them in, they naturally weren't a threat to her.

At that moment, Lennox pulled something out of the drawer. The dark blue jade hairpin twirled in his hand, the dangling small gems danced with his movements.

" You are this old, yet can't let go of this thing? I should have broke it when I had the chance"

Sapphire was confused for a moment. This hairpin was a gift her father made for her when she successfully transformed to her current Balanced form. The hairpin has the ability to control a person with a level lower than the creator for at most one hour. Since almost everyone is weaker than her father, Sapphire went around possessing people and causing troubles wantonly.

This continued until one of the mothers complained to her father and he ended up confining her hairpin.

However, this guy in front of her was talking as of he knew everything about it. Suddenly a person's figure overlapped with the boy in front of her. The indifferent tone, sleepy eyes and the nonchalant attitude as if he couldn't care less if the sky fell and the ground cracked.

For a moment, Sapphire had a very dangerous thought.

It was already suspicious enough that the brother, who would either be stuck to the Blood Prince or their father, is roaming around with an unidentified dude. However, no matter how coincidences might overlap, it can never create such accurate resemblance. After all, the number of people who can be this arrogant under heaven could be counted on one hand.

Lennox took in all of her emotional changes. He understood that him appearing in front of her after being 'dead' for a hundred years, is the worst way to deliver such news. Which is why when Sapphire absentmindedly called "Daddy", he calmly responded.

" What is it? "

This was the first time in hundred years that someone has responded when she called that name. Sapphire could hear her heart beating next to her ears, her tears had long since started pouring down. Who would have thought that in a normal home visit, she would be able to meet a dead person?

" Daddy.... "

" What is it? Speak properly "

With that, Sapphire no longer hesitated and threw herself on Lennox. Since he was shorter than her, she just both dropped on the ground while tightly hugging her father. Seeing how bitterly his daughter was weeping, Lennox didn't have the heart to shed her, simply letting her wipe her tears and snot on his clothes.

On the side, when Everly saw the good pretty big sister suddenly collapsed and started crying, she panicked. Thinking that Lennox must have hit her, she quickly ran to him with teary eyes.

Grabbing his sleeve, Everly started sobbing, " d- don't hit big sister, *son she wanted to help *sob help Everly, doooon't Waaaaaa!! "

Lennox was dumbfounded. When did he beat someone?

At a lose what to do with these two crying babies, Lennox subconsciously looked towards Bun-Bun, only to find that his eyes were slightly red.

" No...little one, don't- "

Unfortunately, Bun-Bun could not suppress it and joined the crying team. Except that his crying expression, unlike the snot-filled Everly and Sapphire, was clean lovely and pitiful.

Lennox felt distressed. It's not like it's the first time that he encountered a bunch of wailing kids, it's just that at that time they were young and easily coaxed. However, at the moment, only Everly would shut up after a few kisses and a candy, but the other two aren't!

WHY ARE YOU CRYING DAMNIT!!
