The Reunion After Seven Years

Kerr gently kissed the corner of Nicole's mouth, stood up, and left.

He went downstairs where he paused for a moment to look at the man and the boy who were playing international chess in the living room with a leisurely attitude.

"I don't feel like playing this anymore."

With a random push, Harley scattered the pieces across the board—clearly he was about to be defeated. He looked at Kerr as if pleading with his family member and thought that he finally had a way out.

"Uncle Su, you were losing the game. You can't break your promise just because I am a child."

Seeing the expression on Harley's face, Jay reminded him earnestly.

"Who said that I was breaking my promise? We can finish the game, but I can't do it now."

With this excuse, Harley looked at Kerr, avoiding Jay's keen eyes.

"What happened? Does your father want to force you to hand over your power?"

It was the logical conclusion. It seemed that all parents liked to use this trick to try and get their way. It had been the same when Harley had tried to escape from his marriage by going abroad.

"More or less. It's not quite that serious. How is everything going with Ken?"

Kerr had made a mental note of it. Anyway, it was dangerous for either Jay or Nicole to stay here. Besides, Kerr had his own suspicions about what had happened yesterday.

Hearing this, Harley shrugged his shoulders.

"I have called him. Ken said that everything is fine, but it will take some time. I guess you'll have to deal with the trouble here, too. There were so many coincidences last night."

After returning last night, Harley had carefully reflected on the whole event. There were just too many things that happened for it to be circumstantial, which probably meant that someone had set everything up.

While he considered this, Kerr picked up the cup from the table and took a sip of water.
