The Assassin's Enemy Lover

502 Conniving witch

The once peaceful galaxy known as Onyx Federation had suffered multiple hits one after another. From violent unrests with criminal elements taking advantage of the chaos to a live broadcast of the man, they saw crash to his death live walking among them and even defending them against their enemies.

It was because of this that the entirety of StarNet didn’t sleep. There was a lot of arguing back and forth and a lot of doxing threats going around. Questions about whether his royal highness would revive the monarch were flying around but there were no answers. The prime ministers were also staying clear of the reporters.

Besides running away from the questions they also didn’t have any answers. They had tried to get into contact with the former marshal and the bloodgarde to get an audience with his royal highness but the response was the same. The man wasn’t seeing anyone.

He was apparently reuniting with his wife and son and had no time to meet them. This ultimately led to the next question which was who was the wife and who was this son? Once that question popped up on StarNet the virtual detectives began to connect the dots starting with the recent live broadcast.

Yeoh Jun had mentioned something about something old man while talking to someone who could only be his son. The voice that responded was very familiar thus they brought up Zi Han’s videos for comparison which were very scarce by the way.

After that, they brought up old news broadcasts about Zi Han owning Igneous for a very long time. Some said that Zi Xingxi seduced the prince to increase her influence and had a child with him. Other delusional Yeoh Jun fans had the audacity to claim that Zi Xingxi drugged their innocent prince and slept with him making her into a conniving witch undeserving of their prince.

People had different opinions on how this happened but the conclusion was the same. Yeoh Jun plus Zi Xingxi equals Zi Han. They had a prince who was also deeply embedded in the Bloodgarde. Nothing could go wrong, right?

Well... everything about it was very wrong. This tiny prince also assassinated prime minister Ju for murdering the prince who turned out to be alive after all. He was number one on the most wanted list of people the military was hunting down. He had also been accused of making the Marshal disappear so there was that.

While StarNet was in chaos, the person of interest was sneaking into his grandfather’s cabin looking for his little nimsel.

.....

Ever since he had been gone, his grandfather had been taking care of it but after he came back whenever he asked where his baby was he would get a lot of excuses like he is sleeping or he is having a play date, etc.

Zi Han knew that was all BS. His grandfather was monopolising the little guy again. So while they were having a little reunion slash son in law talking to father in law, Zi Han snuck into his grandfather’s cabin and the moment he closed the door he heard happy wee wee sounds.

“Oh, my little cutie. Did you miss papa? Oh yes, you did, oh yes you did,” he said while nuzzling the little bugger.

“Let’s get you out of this outfit. I have to take it off. We are going to see your dad,” he said while taking off the little tutu skirt, “I guess my mother did this. That is the only decent explanation.”

The little nim nim was just so happy it could see Zi Han. That’s all that mattered. Zi Han was about to walk away when he saw a little shark costume.

Seeing it, he couldn’t resist at all. Since Mr. Twiggles was with Yi Chen he thought it would be a great idea to dress up his little nim nim in it.

While putting the outfit on Zi Han suddenly realised that his grandfather seemed to have quite a collection. There were costumes across all professions which were quite unsettling. He suddenly felt like getting his grandfather a dog, maybe a teacup Yorkie or pomeranian. Dogs or any kinds of pet were sold by the pet gene bank but they had a complicated vetting process which he was more than willing to go through. At least after that he wouldn’t have to fight with his grandpa to get his little nim nim back.

Zi Han slipped out of his grandfather’s cabin and found his way to the hangar before leaving the warship. Because he still had beef with the military he was forced to sneak onto Cetus using Chronos.

Yes, he borrowed Chronos from his mother and because she was in a very good mood she let him have it. The reason why he asked for Chronos instead of Igneous was that Chronos knew every inch of Cetus warship.

“I am surprised you chose me, young sir... I thought you would take Igneous on this secret mission for sure,” said Chronos, and Zi Han couldn’t help but quirk his brows.

“Why wouldn’t I pick you? You are my second favourite,” replied Zi Han jokingly. Who would have thought it would take it seriously and pester him to no end about which mech was the first?

The two of them argued all the way to Cetus. It made Zi Han seriously wonder what sort of interaction these two had with his mother. Chronos seemed chatty and his mother seemed serious especially when she is in her mech.

Chronos was still so talktive even when they snuck on the warship. Granted it was speaking in his ear but Zi Han could still hear it. The little nim nim was even more well-behaved than Chronos.

When they reached the medical bay, the place was silent with little to no one walking around the place. This made it easy for Zi Han to slip in after Lynn Feng opened the doors for him.

To achieve this elaborate plan he couldn’t rely on Chronos alone. He had to convince Lynn Feng that this had everything to do with his future happiness.
