After waiting for nearly an hour, Lahar finally yawned, stretched lazily, and opened his eyes.
The little guy was quite sensible; he quickly climbed down from the bed, dressed himself, and washed his face. Then he quietly sat back on the bed, his dark eyes fixed unwaveringly on Wen Yu.
Sensing Lahar's gaze, Wen Yu turned his head and sat beside Lahar, gently patting the boy's head.
"What's wrong? Did you see something again?"
Lahar hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"I saw a big group of people in military uniforms flying over in planes, and there were many big birds beside them. They seemed to be here to pick me up."
Lahar pointed towards the place where the sun was rising.
"Do you want to go with them?"
"Yes!"
Lahar nodded vigorously.
"It's better there."
The world of a child is always straightforward and simple.
...
After quickly finishing the hotel breakfast, Wen Yu took Lahar's hand and walked straight out of the hotel.
Perhaps the Indian government forces responsible for reconnaissance had spotted Wen Yu's figure. The negotiation expert beside the one-eyed man completely ignored the one-eyed man, charging towards Wen Yu with a reckless determination to complete the task, shouting, "Sir, sir! I am..."
However, in the next moment, Wen Yu lightly snapped his fingers.
The power of the Netherworld flashed by, and the negotiation expert didn't have time to react before being teleported by Wen Yu to an unknown residential alley.
Wen Yu didn't care who this nameless guy was, nor did he care what he wanted to discuss with him, let alone what the Indian government behind him would think of his actions.
In a world where individual power can override everything, Wen Yu could do whatever he wished—even ignoring the "negotiation" initiated by a major power!
"Star."
With Wen Yu's command, the star hiding somewhere grew larger, its massive dragon wings blocking out the sun. Then, Wen Yu recalled the one-eyed man, and amidst the tense, awe-filled, and even fearful gazes of the surrounding crowd, his entire body transformed into a black light, flying directly onto the star's back with Lahar.
"Set off, eastward!"
...
The giant dragon swiftly ascended and then soared through the skies above New Delhi.
With the mission accomplished, Wen Yu saw no need to stay here or hide his presence.
He casually waved a dark barrier to shield Lahar from the fierce winds, and Wen Yu dialed a communication line, discussing the rendezvous point in detail with Lin Na, before guiding the star to slightly adjust its direction.
Perhaps it was because he was about to part with a new friend, or perhaps it was the feeling of leaving home while being uncertain about the future, but Lahar seemed a bit gloomy along the way.
The creases on his little face stirred something soft within Wen Yu, and he gently stroked Lahar's head, his voice softening.
"Beijing is a great place; it has skyscrapers everywhere, impenetrable city walls, and the strongest army and strongest humans in the world—no, it should be the strongest beings. There’s also a very gentle big brother there. You’ll never have to worry about those fierce, scary monsters threatening you, and no one will steal your food on the streets. There won't be various wars and disputes."
"There are all kinds of delicious food there, and I guarantee Lahar will grow nice and plump. There will be teachers to teach you knowledge, and you can wear pretty clothes and find a big group of new friends at school—friends your size, not like older brothers. You will grow up with them and witness the future together."
"When you grow up, you will also meet a big group of like-minded companions to face all the hardships of this world together..."
As he spoke, Wen Yu's eyes drifted.
No matter how many grievances he had with Lin Haifeng, or how many bad impressions he held about the Beijing gathering place, one undeniable fact was that the Beijing gathering place was indeed a good place—a paradise firmly isolated from external dangers by the protection of Lin Haifeng and Tang Haofei.
