Finding Stardust

Chapter 102

Emma told Haoran about the prom, and the young man did not seem impressed. He actually did not like such events.

"The girls said, they will vote us as the Prom King and Queen. Do you want to go?" asked Emma. They had not discussed about going to this event because they thought it was not important.

But after seeing how her female friends were excited about all this, Emma began to feel interested. She had never been to any dance, and from her friends" enthusiasm, she felt that this event would be very fun.

Haoran, who was about to say no, immediately changed his answer when he saw Emma"s eyes sparkling. "Of course, we"ll go!"

"Ah ... really?" Emma smiled broadly. After she made sure there was no one around them, she kissed Haoran"s cheek.

The young man touched his cheek, which was a bit wet by his wife"s kiss, and smiled equally wide.

Ahh .. he realized that Emma smiled more lately. She remembered that Emma used to be very serious and rarely smiled. You could say her sense of humor was also very low.

But now, the girl slowly changed. Haoran was very happy to think that Emma was starting to feel happy, and he contributed to making her smile a lot.

Later, if they succeeded in finding her parents, Haoran could not imagine how happy she would be.

Actually, a horrible thought sometimes crept into his mind. What if Emma"s parents were gone? Wouldn"t their journey to Akkadia be in vain?

However, he only kept his thoughts to himself. He did not want Emma"s happiness interrupted by it.

"Then I have to buy a dress for prom," Emma said enthusiastically. "Tomorrow, I will go shopping with Nadya and Mary after school."

"That"s a good idea." Haoran nodded. "I still have to go to my father"s office as usual. If you don"t mind, I would like to ask your help to buy a bow tie for me. I don"t have a bow tie in my closet. I don"t want to look like I"m going to office if I go to the prom wearing a regular tie," said Haoran. He then took his wallet out of his pocket and pulled out a black debit card from it. He handed it to Emma. "The PIN is 210649."

Emma was stunned when Haoran placed the card in her hand. She soon realized that the Haoran"s debit card PIN was the date of her birth. Ah .. Haoran is so sweet !!

"I have money to buy you a tie," Emma said, trying to refuse.

"That"s not it, we"re married now. So my money is your money too. You can buy whatever you like. Get the dress or anything you want," Haoran said patiently. He pressed Emma"s fingers to keep the card and diverted her attention by asking something else. "Uhm .. I have to go to work now. Will you go home with Alex as usual?"

During this time, Emma often went home with Alex who was picked up by his family driver because their homes were close, while Haoran would ride in David or Dinh"s car since they lived in the same neigborhood. After he changed his clothes at home, Haoran would drive his Porsche to his father"s office. He still didn"t want to show off his wealth to other students in school.


"Alex will have to retake his Math test today," Emma said. "I"ll go home by myself."

"Oh .. why don"t you come with me, then? I will ask David to stop by your apartment," Haoran said.

"Ahh .. no, I don"t want to trouble you two. It"s quite a detour for you," Emma said with a smile. "Besides, I"m not in a hurry to go home. There"s something I want to do at school before going home."

"Alright, then. Let me know if there"s anything," Haoran said. He patted Emma"s shoulder softly and walked out of the cla.s.sroom. He had to go to do his interns.h.i.+p in his father"s office.

"Good thing you are a telemancer," Xion said with a smile. He studied the penthouse where they stayed and nodded in satisfaction. "There is no need to use violence if you can influence people with telemancy."

In this case, he did admit defeat to Therius. His friend was a powerful telemancer who had reached the highest level at such a young age. Not only was a telemancer rare, but it was very difficult to reach the level of Therius now.

He practiced very diligently and had perfected his abilities since he was in the academy. According to Xion, once his best friend ascended the throne, he would become a very powerful and feared king. He could easily influence people to follow his order.

If Xion was himself, he could see himself being influenced by Therius the same way he influenced many people. Ugh, Therius would have no problem forcing him to accept the position of king advisor or prime minister. 

Nah! Xion was not one who enjoyed thinking hard stuff, especially when it came to politics.

He would rather live quietly in the mountains. Sometimes, when he was bored, and Therius invited him to adventure, he would welcome the invitation. This adventure on earth seemed quite interesting, to be honest.

They landed their small shuttle s.h.i.+p on a small island near Singapore and flew into the city without being seen by anyone. Therius could easily search for the grandest building in Singapore and go in there and order the hotel staff to give him and Xion the most luxurious accommodation in the building.

That was why, now, they were standing inside the most luxurious penthouse in Singapore, looking at the city from the height of the 50th floor.

While Xion looked enthusiastic about what he saw, Therius did not show any expression at all. For him, the city was quite backward and boring. He did not want to linger on earth.

"I want to go out and check the city," said Xion. "Do you want to come along?"

Therius nodded. He didn"t want to go to check the city, but he wanted to find Emma immediately.

"We should find some new clothes from this planet," Xion warned. "Our fas.h.i.+on is rather unique compared to those other people, I hope you realize that."

He wore simple gray clothes, but the model was somewhat different from the clothes earth people were wearing. Therius" clothes were more luxurious and intricate, and certainly more interesting.

If the two of them walked around looking like that, they would invite people"s suspicion.

Therius sighed. Finally, an expression of annoyance appeared on his face, and he grumbled quietly.

"I"ll ask the staff where we can get clothes," he said. He walked with both hands in his pockets and exited the penthouse. Xion followed with enthusiasm.

When the two arrived at the lobby, they again attracted the attention of so many people. In addition to their very handsome appearances, they were taller than most men. Moreover, Therius" fancy outfit looked quite eye-catching to the eyes of the regular people.

Some actually thought they were runway models coming straight out of a certain haute couture event, wearing the weird fas.h.i.+on designed by an eccentric designer.

Therius looked at the receptionist and asked him something. Although he spoke in Akkadian, at the same time, he used telemancy to communicate with the staff who thought he heard this handsome guest talking to him in English.

"Ahh .. We just need to walk to the left for 200 meters, and there is a big shopping center. We can get a lot of clothes there." Therius tapped Xion on the shoulder and walked out of the lobby.
