The Assassin's Enemy Lover

474 Xixi Junior

“Xixi junior?... How on earth did that come about?” asked Zi Han with Igneous hovering within the cloud of dust and black smoke.

Yeoh Jun who was really out of it couldn’t help but press his forehead his eyes seeing doubles.

“Kid... shouldn’t you be introducing yourself first before asking me personal questions?” he said and Zi Han was as deflated as an airless balloon. This was in no way the reunion he had in mind. He chuckled lowly before saying,

“My name is Zi Han.”

Yeoh Jun’s body stiffened as he tilted his head slightly and asked, “Which Zi and which Han?”

Zi Han couldn’t help but laugh out loud. This melodious sound was warm enough to stir Yeoh Jun’s heart. It sort of gave him a sense of familiarity.

There was one other person who laughed like that, especially when mocking him and that was his gorgeous wife.

“Are you Xixi’s brother?... Well, that’s not right. She doesn’t have a brother. Wait, how long have I been out of it?”

Yi Chen who was starting to have a headache from all of this couldn’t help but interject. “Um babe, aren’t you going to tell him?”

.....

“Give him a minute. He will figure it out... eventually,” said Zi Han.

“Gay couple. That’s cool,” blurted out Yeoh Jun after being staffed with dog food for no apparent reason.

While he was saying that Yeoh Lang finally figured out how to escape the cockpit. While this pair were distracted in their weird family reunion, the cockpit opened, and with no fear of death, he jumped out of the mech.

Xixi junior issued an alert and Yeoh Jun who had been trying to figure out why this kid was so familiar snapped out of it and yelled, “He is getting away.”

“I got him,” replied Yi Chen his mech running across the burning buildings to where Yeoh Lang had escaped.

Out of habit, Zi Han couldn’t help but blurt out, “Be careful,” before descending to the ground.

“Oh so you two are just going to leave me here, is that it?... Okay. Don’t mind me. I will just be dealing with this hangover,” said Yeoh Jun but even he knew it wasn’t a hangover. It was more than that. He decided to get his water filled brain in order while contacting his wife.

Meanwhile, Yi Chen was searching through the rubble looking for the high priest slash king who had scurried into the dark corner like a cockroach.

“Where the hell did he go?” asked Yi Chen with a hint of urgency in his tone.

Igneous landed on the ground and with his arms crossed Zi Han replied, “Babe, use your thermal sensors. He is most likely ten feet to your left.” This he found amusing. The dearest Marshal of the Onyx Federation interplanetary defense force had been reduced to a trainee. Now he felt like hazing him.

“Oh... babe, why do I feel like you are making fun of me?” asked Yi Chen, and Zi Han couldn’t help but chuckle while Igneous shrunk in size.

“I deny that accusation. When have I ever made fun of you? I don’t make fun of anyone,” he said and Yi Chen paused his steps while looking at him with an ‘are you serious’ type of look on his face.

“You just did it to your dad and now me,” he said his tone aggrieved like he had been wronged. He was ready to play that emotional card but his lover wasn’t taking the bait.

Zi Han patted his shoulder before walking past him. “You are overthinking it. I would never do that to you,” he said only for Yeoh Jun who was forced to listen to this conversation interrupt.

“I am sorry, I really don’t mean to eavesdrop but are you really my son?” asked Yeoh Jun feeling rather skeptical. His son was a tiny bun baking in his wife’s oven unless.....

“Oh shit!” he exclaimed having figured it out.

“Uh, there he is,” said Zi Han while running through the rubble of the half collapsed temple.

“How the fuck was I asleep for two decades? Oh fudge, she is going to be so pissed off. Where is your mother? Can I call her... Argh calling her won’t work. Will flowers work or maybe I should buy her a new mech? Or or maybe a new rifle.... I am screwed,” he said descending into a major panic. He even overlooked the fact that he had just met his mini me who was already a full grown adult and in a relationship already.

“Will he be okay?” asked Yi Chen following behind Zi Han.

Recalling how his mother grieved over his father for decades, Zi Han knew that she would never make it easy on him. She couldn’t wait to grill him the moment he stepped into her sight. What could he say when that was the dynamics of their relationship?

“He is not going to be okay... at all. Let it sink in. It’s part of the process,” he replied recalling the one time he got her so mad that it took a lot of coaxing.

“I really have it easy, don’t I,” said Yi Chen with a smile on his face.

Zi Han, “...”

“You head east and I head west. We will cut him off both sides. I think I know where he is heading,” said Zi Han before vanishing on the spot.

Yi Chen, “...”

Now it was his turn to be stunned. His baby was incredibly skilled.

“Where is it? Damn it, I thought I dropped it here,” whispered Yeoh Lang frantically searching for something. He had a plan to deal with Yeoh Jun and his offspring, a plan that would keep them obedient but he accidentally broke the one he had when he fell out of the useless mech.

The other vials were in the temple but now that it was partially destroyed finding it was proving to be rather difficult.
