Chapter 479 The Man in Her Dream (Three)
"What else happened in that timeline?" Shun asked the couple.
Madison and Levi shared everything they found out that was about to happen in the near future.
"Papa, Hailee got angry at you because you knew Vincent would die, but you did not save him. She also hates us because we didn't tell her about it. Instead, she learns the mystery in this world from someone else."
"The Dark Shaman, is it?" Shun guessed. "That man certainly never took a vacation and spared us all to live a peaceful one lifetime once in a while."
Shun felt helpless, as he had to make careful decisions once again. Decisions that either make him the hero or the villain.
He reached his forehead and kneaded his temples. He mused, 'That man is starting a new game, huh? And this time, his pawn is Hailee's fate.'
Shun leaned forward, placing his elbows on the couch's armrest, then rested his chin on top of his folding hands.
"The both of you are saying... The Alliance got separated after Hailee took revenge for Vincent's death, and then I stopped Hailee from making reckless decisions. This leads Hailee to think of me as the enemy because she thinks I am afraid to be killed by her sons."
Shun paused and pondered. After he digested the information, he went on.
"So later on, Hailee defeated me with the help of her sons, as they could harm me. Not knowing my nephews could hurt that man as well. Now, this is interesting."
A cunning smile played on Shun's lips as he added, "That man is able to get close to Hailee. However, we don't know which life and body he possessed this time to live like a normal person among us. Whatever appearance he has, it is always easy for him to invite someone to work for him and become his puppet."
"That always has been his doing, Shun." Derek echoed.
"What are your thoughts now, Papa?" Madison started to feel restless as they concluded.
"We have to watch Hailee closely. We have to distinguish that man among us to take everything under control. Since he chose Hailee's life to play with as he saw it as a great tool to get back at me and kill me in this lifetime, we have to work in silence."
"I will enlighten Uncle Jacob for him to understand my intention."
"So, will we defy Fate once again?" said Levi excitedly.
"We are not defying fate but delaying its work." Lady Isabella chimed in. "Besides, if two people are destined to meet and be together in this lifetime, they will find each other no matter what we do to break them apart. Except..."
"Except for that shaman who can play us all." Madison finished Isabella's words.
"We have no choice but to intervene one more time, yes," Shun said meaningfully. "It's not just for me, for Hailee and Vincent, but for the next generation to make choices for themselves."
"I love when we fight against fate!" Levi exclaimed.
He is delighted with a new adventure he and Madison will explore soon. Because every time they travel time, whatever danger they will face and a risk to their health, it's all worth it at the end of the journey.
"Levi, we are not fighting against fate, but the person is manipulating it." Derek reminded him, and it burst out of his happy thoughts.
He twitched his mouth as he exclaimed, "Of course, brother Derek! We won't let this man do whatever he likes! I would not allow him to use me as a piece in his chess game!"
"Keep that enthusiasm. Once again, we will have long days and nights," said Derek with a smirk.
"I'm back!"
A beautiful woman with the appearance of a teenager entered the room with a sweet smile on her delicate face. Shun rushed toward her side and embraced her tight, kissing her passionately.
"Welcome home, love," said Shun lovingly. He claims his wife's lips and kisses her feverishly. "I missed you so much. It took you so long this time. How is it?"
Shun waited for Cassandra's reply. He watched as his wife pursed her lips and curled into a silly smile.
'She seemed looking for punishment. She's been naughty lately.' he thought.

[Author here! Flashback is a total of seven chapters. And as a recap of the previous chapter. Hailee asks Madison about something, but Madison cannot reveal the truth. Even so, I will show you the answer to Hailee's question. It will be more questions if I will directly show this man without more explanation why he is after Hailee and the kids. Thanks, loves!]
