There was a thin crescent in the dark sky and the bamboo forest looked peaceful while being washed by the gentle moonlight.
Illuminating the ground with its grace, the moon looked bright against the dark sky.
The leaves of the bamboo were rustling as it dances to the soft wind. With the rustling, the gentle voices of Brian and Molly could be heard from a car silently parked in that place.
A deep and baritone voice, just as good as the music of a cello. " Is it true that you will never leave me alone whatever happens from now on?"
"Yes, I will never leave you..." Before Molly finished her sentence, she stopped and looked at him, "It was you who always pushed me off."
"I will never do that anymore nor will I let you go."
Brian answered gently and seriously.
On the other hand, the night of Dragon Island was as bright as day in the ministry. The governor of Dragon Island was engaged today, thus, everyone working here hadn't go home even after night time came. They were all busy with receiving all kinds of people coming and answering phone calls from different countries.
On top of the National Congress.
After Eric Long listened to the report of the Minister of the Publicity Department, he said calmly, "Everything should go as my previous instructions. I'll decide about what, to do especially in Dragon Island after the explanation meeting tomorrow."
"Yes, Sir," The minister replied with respect. It was a few seconds after when the minister bowed his head and said, "Excuse me for leaving." Then he turned around and left.
Eric nodded and watched the minister leave. His gaze turned to the screen of the computer. He browsed news on it and then put his fingers on the keyboard. His lips formed a slight smirk as he typed things.
He raised his head and gave the wall clock a quick glimpse. He then shut down the computer and stood up. Taking the coat on the chair with him, he walked outside while putting his coat on.
"Young Master?" Lenny suddenly appeared upon seeing Brian and called him. Lenny walked over to Eric.
"You can go and have a rest, Lenny." Eric said as he passed by Lenny and pressed the elevator button calmly. He looked at Lenny for a short while then added, "I will go to meet Uncle Hawk."
"Yes, Sir." Lenny replied. He let out of a long sigh as he watched his Master leave. He didn't follow Eric.
The cars on Dragon Island's road were busy at night. After decades of development, Dragon Island had progressed into high position internationally under the leadership of each governor of Dragon Island. The place was constructed in the most modern way and people here were enjoying the most advantageous life.
Eric drove fast along the road and finally stopped at a parking lot in Dragon Leaping District. He walked out of the parking lot and looked at the Silence Bar on his left. He smiled silently. The way his smile was kind of crooked.
It was then that the phone in his pocket rang. He cast a glance at the phone then picked it up. "How is it going? Haven't you made it?"
"What's today's bet?" Brian's voice came from the other end of the phone. "I will lose my interest in it if it isn't good enough."
