His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 517: Family Reunion

"I was concerned about the others. Thus, I didn't mention it. The sword can hurt the dark shaman. So, it could hurt those who have immortality, like Shun, Lady Isabella, and Madison."          

    

Hailee was happy to listen to Vincent's reasoning. It delighted her that her husband thought about the safety of everyone.     

Shun has countless enemies. When these people discover they have a way to kill him. They will undoubtedly turn the world upside down to obtain the sword from Vincent's hands.     

"Thank you, hubby," said Hailee, hooking her arms around Vincent's neck. "Now I understand why you didn't share it earlier. It would be safer if only the two of us knew about the sword. We need to keep it a secret."     

"Hmm..." Vincent smiled and hummed. Looking at his wife with a loving gaze, he caressed both cheeks—now the color in them had wholly returned, and she was less pale than earlier.     

"Wifey, I love you."     

As he covered her lips with his, he reached for Hailee's chin. After the long, passionate kiss, Vincent panted and whispered,     

"You were always beautiful before and now."     

Hailee's appearance is different in this life than in the past. But that didn't affect the beat in his chest. It still recognized the woman he was madly in love with, who owned his heart.     

As for Hailee, she sees nothing has changed about him. His facial profile was the same four hundred years ago as it is today. It looked like she was looking at his clone.     

"I was happy that heavens listened to my prayers," Hailee mumbled—her eyes were searching for something on Vincent's face while her fingers traced the bridge of his nose and the lines on his jaws. "Before my last breath escaped my throat, I prayed to the deity of the blue moon that when you live again, I wish you will find peace without the memories of the war."     

Vincent felt his eyes suddenly moisten. Cupping Hailee's face, he brushed his lips over hers.     

"You aren't the only one praying for the Blue Moon. Before I closed my eyes, I prayed that in your next life, you would live a fulfilling life like no one had ever lived. I begged the heavens to give you comfort and luxury."      

"And I did! Dad indulged me so much!" Hailee stifled her tears from pouring down her cheeks, but they still found their way out.     

"Shush, now…" Vincent wipes her cheeks dry.     

"I thought we wouldn't meet again..." Hailee sobbed.     

"It's not too soon, but now we are together again," Vincent comforted his wife.      

Hailee nodded and sniffed. She held Vincent tight as she poured her heart out.     

After Hailee calmed down, Vincent carried her back to her ward. She had just woken up, so she still needed the rest her body required.      

On the sick bed, Vincent joined Hailee. After finding a comfortable position, Hailee pressed her ear to Vincent's chest and listened to the mellow beating of his heart.     

"Hubby, we unveiled the truth and found who the sisters are. Did you recognize the sorceress who rebuilt the sword?" she asked.     

"You didn't remember her?" He queried Hailee.      

"No." Hailee shook her head. "Don't you think we must look for her reincarnation? Maybe that man will destroy the sword again once he finds it. At least we are prepared when that day comes."     

"You are correct." Vincent concurred. "But do not worry Wifey. We don't have to look for her. Although I am uncertain if she was reincarnated in this lifetime, her descendants are actually one of our great friends."     

What Vincent had said was surprising. "Is that really true?"     

Vincent nodded and replied. "Yes. Every time I think about it, I am amazed. All of us actually gathered here in Dream City."         

    

"Who? Please tell me!" Hailee begged his husband to spill it out fast. Then her eyes widened when Vincent whispered the name of the sorceress's descendants. "I can't believe it!"     

"Neither I… It looks like fate has brought us all together in this lifetime."     

Hailee echoed, "Maybe heaven is siding with us to end this long battle."     

"You may correct Wifey. However, even if we manage to kill the body he possessed, we could not completely kill his soul when it's not the red blood moon yet."     

Hailee did not like the fact they could not do much about it. "What are we going to do now?"      

Vincent did not answer but fell into deep thought. Right now, they have the weapon to kill him, and the sisters can seal him, not escape. Yet, they must wait for the perfect time because it will not happen soon.      

"The only thing we could do is imprisoned him for over twenty years." He sighed.      

"It's too long. Can we apprehend him till then?" She was worried they would fail one more time, like in the past.      

"We have no choice but to ensure sealing his soul for the time being and don't let it escape."     

"How about the secret civilization?" Hailee suggested. "Maybe they could help us watch him."     

Vincent pondered for a moment. Hailee's ideas aren't bad at all but brilliant.     

"That may work," said Vincent. "We could constrain him inside the forest of the Amazon. Shun told me that most of the shamans reside in South America. Using their ability, they can fend off the dark shaman until it is time to exterminate his soul."     

Hailee looked up and searched for Vincent's eyes. She muttered, "I'm praying we will succeed this time."     

"I will speak to Shun and discuss it."     

"How about your brother?"     

Vincent frowned when Hailee brought up Samuel. "I will settle a score with him before I deal with his master."     

Hailee tightens her hold on Vincent's neck. She buried her face into his collar and coaxed him. "Everything in the past is a misunderstanding."      

"But he volunteered to be his pawn." Vincent asserted with a bitter smile on his face. So Hailee did not retort.      

After some thought, she hurls a deep sigh and says, "Love comes in many forms. It was blind and stupid. Thus, others took advantage of the person."     

"Indeed, it was the sad part." He cannot agree more with that.     

But this is not a matter of the past anymore. Samuel committed many crimes in their present life, and he must be punished this time.      

Vincent rubbed his forehead and let out a sad sigh. He shook off the thought and wore a bright smile. He told Hailee, "It's time for a joyous family reunion. You'll meet Liam soon as well."      

His most loyal general...
