Chapter 765: Epilogue (11)
From across the holographic screen, Duanmu Xinqings beaming smile greeted me. Yahoo~ Now, this is a rare sight. Ke, you actually called your aunty Xinqing are flowers going to bloom on palm trees now?
She teased me ruefully.
A Xinqing, Ive been really busy lately you know why
Yes, yes. But, Ke, its rude of you to address your aunty by her name like that. Remember to add on the aunty next time. Duanmu Xinqing gave me her signature teasing smile. But your aunty is a little happy that you addressed her by her name. Right, Ke, when are you coming home? Your aunty misses you so, and my precious daughter, too, of course.
Ive already located the mastermind behind this virus. I will go back when Im finished dealing with him. I avoided answering her directly.
However, she could already see that something was up, especially given that I had deliberately kept a distance from her this past month.
Ke, are you trying to avoid us?
No not at all.
Theres no need to repeat yourself. Your aunty might always have her head buried in some research, but she still has eyes. Duanmu Xinqing did not press the issue, but a sigh escaped her lips. Ke, your aunty does not know what is troubling you, but she hopes that you understand that we will always be behind you.
Mhm.
Her decision not to pursue the matter relieved me greatly, but seeing as there wasnt much to say at that point, I quickly cut off the feed, spread my wings, then took off towards the skyscraper.
After a full month of stewing, the city was a giant graveyard, if said graveyard did not bother to bury the dead. Technically, I had a special method of blocking out this stench, else I would have gone mad from the smell.
I zipped through the dead city, the streets somehow felt even quieter than usual. Barring the usual mindless zombie straggler, there werent any other undead, like those skeletal beasts, to be found anywhere. I wouldnt be surprised if Karlston had just decided to recall any undead that showed any modicum of power. But that also meant that he had been monitoring me, and knew that I was about to knock on his door.
As expected, I spotted a horde of skeletal beasts waiting for me at the doorstep of the former Life Unbound Biotechs headquarters. Flying skeletons, crawling skeletons, even tunnelling skeletons. They were all there.Rread latest chapters at .com
