A Failure's hopeful Journey

Chapter 23: Last Wish.

His voice was loud and cold, the wind inside the hall was very turbulent and the pillars were slightly shaking. It was because his soul energy was running rampant after You Xi Wang lost his composure. Chen Qianbei came forward and said affectionately: "Xi Wang, calm down, you will harm yourself."

You Xiwang finally calmed down and took a deep breath and bowed to the elders and said: "I apologize for losing my temper and being rude to all the elders and please forgive me for carelessly accusing you all." You Ziyou looked at him and said: "It's okay Xiao Wang, we understand the grief you have in your heart and we also share the same pain. In this world exists an organization which targets extraordinary individuals to be a part of them, and they defy the council mandates. They are called The Shadow Council, many families willingly acts as their pawns, Your parents were a pair of geniuses in Computer science they designed many things, but when the Shadow council approached them they denied joining them, even when the council threatened them using you."

He paused and continued: "Limao told your aunt about and Liangxin told me about it, we both assigned people to watch you and your sister from the shadows without affecting your day-to-day life, that day when they left to attend a meeting with Mirai group, they messaged us that their car has been tampered with when it was parked in the Mirai group's parking. They added a customized software inside their car capable of detecting any external tampering and interference.

You Xiwang was about to ask a question when Chen Qianbei tapped her wrist band and a holographic image of a woman appeared in front of everybody, her voice was very soft and ethereal her eyes filled with compassion and affection as she spoke: "Beibei, The Shadow Council has made their move against me and Liangxin. Our vehicle has been tampered with, the doors are locked and we cannot open them, the spiritual core has also been tampered to blast as soon as the speed crosses a certain limit. We will perish now, but we will not bow down to the dark elements."

The video now showed Both You Liangxin and Chen Limao together the scenery visible from the window behind started moving as Chen Limao started speaking again after a pause: "Beibei, we have signed our will and whatever we have will belong to our kids, Chichi is elder and will understand all this, so we have also sent a video message to her. What we are worried about is Gougou. He is still young and he might not take it all too well, so tell him when you think he is ready and then show him this video."

You Liangxin cleared his throat and said: "Xiwang, be strong and benevolent, do not go seeking revenge for us with no preparation. Trust no one completely except You family and Chen family, you are the man of our house now, take care of your sister and check on my old man from time to time, also, I love you son."

Chen Limao who was calm till now had teary eyes while she spoke: "Gougou, mom loves you so much my sweetheart, there are a lot of things mom wants to tell you but...." she choked a bit and You Liangxin held her shoulder and she tried to calm down and started speaking again with tears falling from her eyes constantly: "Grow strong, be respectful to your elders and polite to your juniors, look after your sister she knows about us and is in a lot of pain, you are a big boy now, get a good wife, okay, mom will always watch over you my sweetheart, always..." then there was a loud sound and the video went blank.

The main hall was silent, and You Xi Wang was on his knees and he was crying, but his tears were red, yes, he had tears of blood flowing from his eyes, his hand was raised towards the holographic video, the light in his eyes was dim, no sound came out of his mouth as the video was echoing in his mind again and again.

Chen Qianbei was also focused on the video and finally, she noticed You Xi Wang in a shocked state, she hurriedly came to his side and held his shoulders and said: "Be strong Xi Wang, be strong for Zhichi, she has been holding herself well for you, she is also hurting inside, do you not want to fulfill your parent's last wish" her words reminded him that his big sister was also hurt and she also needed him just like how he needed her.

You Xi Wang's eyes focused again, he wiped his face with his sleeves and saw all the elders shedding tears, he looked around and said in a heavy voice: "This council is adjourned, start gathering information about the Mirai group office, shelter all the orphans and beggars from the slum area, hire every desperate person out there and train them, make them assassins, spies, merchants, traders, smiths, provide them with education, food, clothes, medicine whatever they need. Arrange Tianlong technology to make Lithical Iron motherboards within a week and get the process and project patented, Elders we are You Family, we do not let some insect hiding in the shadows to act like a god and take away those whom we hold dear. I swear in the name of my parents that I will slay these bastards even if they hid in hell or take shelter in heavens."

All the elders looked at him and saw the resolve in his young eyes. They all exchanged looks and said: "Glory to You family"

After passing his orders You Xi Wang left the hall with You Naixin and Chen Qianbei in tow, these two ladies were very concerned for the siblings, You Naixin was married once, but her husband and his family were normal people and were massacred by a high-level family, whose Young master coveted her beauty. Chen Qianbei was unmarried by choice as she wanted to make her family strong after her sister left and her parents were now old.

You Xi Wang arrived in front of his sister's room and knocked. A minute later You Zhichi appeared with the usual bright smile and asked her brother: "Gougou should we go to visit mom and dad now?"

You Xi Wang held her wrist and said without turning back: "We will be fine aunt, granny, give us some time to talk." without waiting for their reply he entered the room and closed the door behind him. Both the ladies had concerned look over their faces but were helpless, they knew that after knowing all the things hidden from them, they can only get through it by themselves.
