Chapter 128 - "Waiting To WatChapter A Good Show"

While the branch families' heads headed to Grandpa Yofan's residence, Finley and Chronos, who was waiting outside of Ainsley's bedroom, chatted merrily.

"It's been three days. When will that baby finish her journey?" Chronos shrunk to his tiny size and flew to Finley's chest pocket. For three days, the duo didn't go back to their house and built a simple treehouse to watch over Ainsley.

They changed their clothes by relying on Aetheria's skill to teleport daily necessities from their mansion.

It had been three days, and they hadn't returned. No wonder Chronos started to grumble.

"No worries, Nos. You know that it's already fast enough if Ain can finish building her bond with Code-C in just three days." Finley smiled as he stroked Chronos's head.

The tiny fairy poked out his head from the pocket, making it easier for Finley to mess with his hair.

"Mmm. I know, I know. But...don't you also hear what's going on with this girl's family?" Chronos munched on a peanut that he stored at Finley's chest pocket and started to grumble.

"I heard that her guardian is going to get executed. Shouldn't you help this baby?" He looked up at Finley in confusion. "If you go as far as helping this girl, shouldn't you also help her family?"

Finley's smile stiffened at Chronos's words. The boy swayed his legs for a few seconds before shaking his head.

"Nah. If I continue to help Ain, she won't grow. Don't worry. I think Ain will wake up before the trial begins." Finley chuckled softly.

He also heard about the rumours circulating among the servants since a few naughty maids visited Ainsley's room out of curiosity.

Of course, Grandpa Yofan's men and Elliana immediately found out. They punished the maids, making others hesitant to approach the bedroom.

However, it didn't stop Finley from knowing all sorts of rumours going on around the Sloan Family.

He has his own ways, too, such as asking his spies planted in this family to inform him.

"From the rumours and the news I got from my spies...it seems that those old geezers are trying to overthrow Ain's status starting from her guardian."

Finley caressed his chin as he looked at the baby, who was sleeping peacefully inside the room separated by a large window.

"It's not a bad plan, really. They can replace Elliana with their men, and then they will have the authority to tame Code-C. Because they think that only the family head's guardian has the privilege…"

Finley paused. He propped his chin on his knees. "But that's because they think it's Elliana who tamed the sacred guardian, not Ainsley." The boy shook his head with a bitter smile decorating his face.

"A bunch of fools. The owner mark is currently on Ain's hand, not on Elliana's. Even if they make Elliana give up her right, they can't."

"True, true. Once they realise it, they might try to attack your beloved Ain...and that's why she has to tame Code-C before tomorrow's trial ends, right?" Chronos grinned like a cheeky brat.

He purposely said 'your beloved Ain' to the boy since he knew the boy reserved a special place for Ain in his heart. Even if it wasn't a romantic interest at the moment.

"Mmm, you're right." Finley disregarded Chronos's teasing and simply shrugged. "I believe in Ain, though. We shall see a good show after she wakes up…"

Finley tugged the corner of his lips as he cast his gaze on the baby's face. Even when she was unconscious for three days, she still looked clean thanks to Elliana's great care. She also wouldn't starve after waking up, thanks to her nourishment.

Elliana...that woman is great. She's needed to bring the Sloan Family to the top of the mafia world in this country.

Finley nodded in satisfaction as he played with his wind, spreading it everywhere to eavesdrop on the Sloan Family's matters. He didn't want to just rely on his spies. They're too slow!

While Finley was waiting to watch a good show, the four branch families' heads already arrived at Yofan's office near his bedroom. The four of them barged in with their arms folded in front of their chest.

"Your excellency, the supreme elder!" Uncle Roger was the first one to call out the grandpa. He put on a grim look as he strode to the old man's working desk. "Have you heard of the young miss' condition?" He added.

Grandpa Yofan paused his hand movement. The decorative quill on his hand fluttered for a while as the old man twirled it between his fingers.

"I know. What's wrong?" Grandpa Yoyo calmly lifted his head and looked at the four intruders. His eyes gleamed brightly behind the round glasses he wore to look fancy while working to help Ain's duty.

"What's wrong? Your excellency, it's horrible news! We have to save the young miss!" Uncle Roger squeezed out his 'tears' and started to sob. "Ahhh, poor young miss. She's our family head. We have to cure her!"

"True, true. Or at least avenge her and find whoever makes her that way!" Uncle Dober chipped in. His black suit flapped cooly behind him...if only he didn't look like a dog wagging its tail, waiting for a good show.

Despite the two cunning foxes expressing their thoughts with a sense of urgency, Grandpa Yofan still looked at them with tranquil eyes. That pair of eyes reflected wisdom, calm and steady.

"Don't act rash. I already tried to save Ain and already investigated this matter."

The old man's calm response baffled the four intruders for a while, but they quickly recovered.

"I know it! Your excellency, the culprit must be that b*tch Elliana, right?!" Uncle Roger roared.
