Chapter 120: "Freezing Time"
While Ainsley's consciousness was inside Code-C's mind, Finley and Chronos kept an eye on her from outside.
"Hmmm, it's been a few hours. She's still inside that beast's mind. Don't you think she will need several days at this pace?" Chronos flicked his sleeve, and the tiny fairy transformed into a boy slightly taller than Finley.
If one didn't know him, they would think that those two were brothers!
"No worries. Even if she needs several days, we will guard her, right?" Finley swayed his legs as he looked at the baby's crib through the room's window.
At the moment, the boy was sitting on the nearest tree's branch, close enough to enter the baby's room with one leapt.
Hearing what Finley said, Chronos furrowed his eyebrows before shaking his head.
"For you to leave the estate...won't your dad panic? If you wait for this baby to finish the bonding, you won't come home for 2-3 days!"
Finley had always used his fairy identity to visit Ainsley, but in reality, he's just a child like her.
Although he had more freedom than Ainsley due to his doting father, his father still wouldn't let his only heir to remain outside for several days.
From the look of it, Ainsley wouldn't wake up for 2 or more days. To protect her from afar, Finley couldn't go home. And that's precisely where the problem laid.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Hmm….true. That old man might issue a bounty reward on my head if I went missing." Finley's lips twitched concisely.
If other parents would spread out a notice to find their missing child, his dad would just put a bounty reward on his head. Of course, the bounty hunter had to catch him alive.
But that doesn't mean they couldn't hurt him. If the hunters broke his arms or legs, that still counted as capturing the 'criminal'.
Such a way to find a missing child was quite bizarre. If Finley didn't know his dad's true personality, he might think that the other person wished him dead.
Honestly, that's just the way his dad showed his affection. With one of the direct family members having a healing ability, even if Finley were on the edge of dying, one wouldn't need to worry.
But precisely such a bizarre way of expressing love was the reason why mom almost committed suicide!
Finley shook his head upon recalling his deceased mother, the one who asked him to kill her in peace so that she could reincarnate to have a better life.
Finley didn't kill his mom. He just sacrificed her soul as in exchange for turning back time. His mom passed away in peace without feeling any pain.
Maybe...that's for the best.
She just couldn't understand her husband's tough love and always thought that he didn't love her, that he loved his ex-fiance, who was forcefully separated from him because of this arranged marriage.
But the truth was far from that.
Finley flashed a bitter smile as he reminisced.
Poor mom...if only dad isn't that eccentric. Maybe she would know that dad already cherished her….alas, what a miscommunication!
It's exactly because of his mom's sudden death that his dad became overprotective over him, the only family he got left.
This never happened in his previous life, though. Back then, his mom was alive, and she endured a painful mafia life until she died of stress.
Even when she was a member of a powerful mafia family, with her weak and kind character, she couldn't adapt well to the Walter Family's traditions.
Especially when this family of his had tons of weird circumstances.
"Ha….this is bad. If I don't go home soon, that old man will really put a bounty on my head." Finley snapped out of his thoughts and sighed, lamenting his dad's crazy deeds.
"Chronos, can you trap the time at the mansion so that they don't realise I've been missing for several days?" The boy looked at human-sized Chronos with bright eyes.
"Or maybe you can freeze their time! Yes. That way, they won't know that three days passed by." Finley spoke energetically, as if his idea was superb.
Superb your a*s!
Chronos couldn't help but slap Finley's back. "Are you crazy? For me to use such a wide-range ability...what if the royal elders found out? I'll be doomed!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChronos was distressed. He knew that his friend was such a psycho, but he didn't think this boy would blurt out such a request so casually…
Freezing everyone's time in his mansion? That's too much!
"Uh...then just make them fall into a loop of time. Make it so that they won't realise it's been three days." Finley waved his hand carelessly. "You don't want to see me breaking my bones again, don't you?" The boy squinted.
He looked at Chronos with a threatening gaze. "You promised me that you will never let me feel pain or whatever it is. I recalled you said that when I died. How could you forget that now– "
Finley hadn't finished when Chronos hit the back of the boy's head with a reddened face.
Heck! Can't you shut up? Don't go around saying such an embarrassing thing! I said all of that because I thought you would die! Who would have thought that you requested me to turn back time…
Recalling his 'cheesy' speech to Finley before the boy passed away in his previous life, Chronos felt so ashamed that his cheeks flushed red. He immediately relented.
"Okay, okay! Just this once! I'll make a time loop for those in your mansion. But after that, I want the energy crystal you covet from that b*tch!"
Chronos naturally talked about the energy crystal that Finley 'stole' from Blair…
