Chapter 14 - Titans

Sunny said while grabbing Lilith by her waist, bringing her closer to himself as they both instantly vanished, having lost the source of what was keeping the flame suspended in the air, the flame instantly fell down, devouring the whole city at once.

Reappearing at the weeping willow forest, Sunny and Lilith could almost not recognise the forest, as many places where giant trees once stood were now empty, replaced by giant holes.

While mountains are flattened to the ground. Pulling down beside them, with a scary but quiet "vroom!" was the familiar lambo bus, which quietly pulled beside them.

As the back door automatically opened up. Sunny and Lilith immediately entered. Before it closed back, taking off into the sky, looking through the window at the weeping willow forest that was getting smaller.

Sunny immediately asked his chauffeur a question that had been bugging him. "What happened in the weeping willow forest when we were gone?" Sunny asked as he poured himself a bottle of chilled champagne into his Lambo glass cup. A cup that came with the car.

"The righteous and the corrupt happened". Cedric said, summarising everything in six sentences. "Humm.. I see I will ask Chen Sixuan for the rest of the details", Sunny said as he pressed a button that was etched on a moon box at his front.

As a holographic screen instantly blinked to life, "Good morning, master sunny, is there anything I can help you with today?". Chen Sixuqn's robotic voice spoke, that was the name Sunny gave his smart AI. "Humm... indeed there is, look into the recent files of the righteous and the corrupted in the weeping willow forest".

Sunny said, as the content on the holographic screen changed, while automatically scrolling through various files. Before slowly stopping on a particular file. "Do the master want me to read it to him"? Chen Sixuan's robotic voice sounded.

"No, it's fine, I will go through the content myself, " Sunny said as he started reading the content on the holographic screen, which he read to the end of every displayed file. The content on the screen will automatically scroll to match the same page he was reading.

Lilith, who had been quietly observing at the corner, couldn't hold back any longer. As she asked the only question that was weighing heavily on her heart, "Is Master still angry with me"? Lilith asked in a guilty tone.

"No, I'm no longer angry with you, " Sunny said without withdrawing his gaze from the holographic screen, slowly sipping on his champagne." Then why is Master giving me attitude?" Lilith said while slowly playing with her hair with guilt tripping.

On hearing Lilith's question this time, Sunny couldn't maintain his composure any longer, as he turned toward Lilith while holding her slender hands warmly. "You believe too early, and that was also what killed her, " Sunny said as he tightened his grip softly on Lilith's hand.

"Master, you always mention that I remind you of someone. Can I ask who, in particular, if it's not something Master is uncomfortable with?" Lilith said as she once again slipped into a sunny, warm embrace. " Yes.. you very well remind me of her". Sunny said as he solemnly started to recount his deeply buried past to Lilith.

"Who cried, every now and then while being deeply engrossed in sunny explanation. Noticing the rhymes of her breath, Sunny looked at Lilith, who was peacefully sleeping in his embrace as he slowly smiled, while looking at her peacefully sleeping figure.

Before he once again resumed the content, which he was reading, as the gentle cool night silvered moonlight reflected on the lambo bus window. "Chen Sixuan, have I been officially given a planet to clear, of the impending crisis it's facing?"

"And how many of us were given this mission for the hunter association test"?, Sunny asked as the sky was starting to show signs of rain, and droplets of rain fell lightly.

"Yes, master, a mission has indeed been given out. Of clearing a plane called Flaming Star Planet, Master has been given this mission alongside four thousand and six others, who were also assigned to the mission alongside master".

Chin Sixuan said, awaiting her master's next order. "The sheer number of people assigned to this mission is quite alarming. Is this particular mission going to be that dangerous? But looking at the possibility, there is little to no possibility that any of our paths might cross during this mission".

"Have the titans send the specific details about the flaming star, and what makes it stand out among the rest"? Sunny asked while gulping down a mouthful of champagne.

"Yes indeed, they have. Should I go over the details while reading it to you?" "Go ahead", Sunny said as the light in the car dimmed. As the star headliner, panoramic roof features fibre-optic lights that mimic a starry night sky.

Offered a comfortable luxury experience, creating a breathtaking ambience inside the vehicle as hundreds of fibre-optic lights twinkle like stars. "Yeah, surely will miss this kind of luxury lifestyle when embarking on this mission, only God knows how long it will take".

Sunny said almost like talking to his self, as he started absorbing various kinds of important information Chen Sixuan was feeding him about the flaming star planet that could later come in handy.

Not ontill the Lambo bus was packed at an open parking lot, in the Titans association, where the hunter association test was being held. with a "thub!" As the engines slowly stalled. Lightly waking Lilith up, the first thing she complained of was hunger, as her stomach made a rumbling sound to justify her words.

As Sunny quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, we will get something to eat, while the titans are briefing us about the specifics before departure". Sunny said as they both stepped out of the car, while heading towards the gigantic colossal building at their front.

That covered several thousand plots of land. Signifying how huge it was, it was not named Titan without a specific reason.
