Lord Banks had been a landlord in Madagascar for some time, but he had no idea what Kairi had gone through
during his absence.
All he could recall was the traumatic moment when Kairi had her arm severed while trying to save his son.
The wound was at the shoulder and it had nearly sliced off her entire right arm. Yet, as Lord Banks beheld Kairi
now, she was dressed in a flowing half-sleeved gown and both her arms appeared unblemished and agile.
Lord Banks had seen many marvels in his life, but he knew that even with the most advanced prosthetic technology
available today, it would be impossible to achieve such a realistic and nimble outcome.
Kairi noticed his bewilderment and was about to explain, but Zayne interrupted, “Dad, it’s a long story.
Let’s hop in the car and chat on the way.”
Realizing that there may be hidden secrets behind Kairi’s miraculous recovery, Lord Banks nodded and entered the
car first.
Kairi then took the front passenger seat, while Zayne drove the car himself.
As the car hummed to life, Zayne turned to his father, Lord Banks, who sat in the back seat and said “Dad, to be
honest, Kairi’s right arm has completely recovered.”
“Completely recovered?” Lord Banks’s eyes widened and he blurted out, “You mean to say that her severed arm
has grown back?”
“Yes,” Zayne nodded, “It’s true.
This is a remarkable situation, but luckily, Kairi has been away from Aurous Hill all these years, so not many people
know about it.
I fear that if this news gets out, it could cause trouble.
Please don’t mention it to anyone.”
Lord Banks was incredulous as he asked, “How is that even possible? I’ve never heard of any medical technology
that can do this…”
Before Zayne could respond, Lord Banks’s eyes widened and he exclaimed, “Could it be… Because of Charlie
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWade?”
Lord Banks had elevated the Banks Family to the pinnacle of China and his abilities and intellect were exceptional.
Faced with such an extraordinary situation, Charlie was the first person he thought of.
There was no one else he could think of who had the ability to pull off such an incredible feat.
Zayne didn’t bother hiding anything and nodded, “You’re right.
It’s Charlie. He possesses an elixir that can make severed limbs grow back.
Kairi took the elixir he gave her and her arm grew back as good as new.
And that’s not even the craziest part.
Yuhiko Ito from the Ito family in Japan had both his legs amputated after jumping off a bridge while being chased by
the Takahashi Family.
But after taking Charlie’s elixir, his legs grew back perfectly.”
Lord Banks was stunned, “What kind of power does Charlie have? These are incredible feats that I’ve never even
heard of in mythology.
How can an elixir make severed limbs grow back?”
Zayne shook his head, “Charlie’s abilities are beyond our understanding.
Let me tell you something else.
Xion received Charlie’s guidance and now she is already a five-star warrior.”
“What?” Lord Banks’s mind went blank for a moment, “Xion is already a five-star warrior? But wasn’t the Old
Master of the Elms Family only a three-star warrior?”
Zayne nodded, “Charlie’s guidance has been a great advantage.
You remember what happened on Wade Mountain.
Even Wesley Drake was completely in awe of Charlie. With his abilities and character, we are fortunate that the
Banks Family has survived till now…”
“It’s all thanks to Zara and Xion.
Otherwise, the Banks Family would have been completely wiped out by now…”
Lord Banks’s hands trembled and he sighed deeply, “Having Zara and Xion is a blessing for my Banks Family…”
After saying that, he looked at Kairi, who was sitting in the front passenger seat and said with a guilty expression,
“Kairi, I am ashamed of myself for giving up on Xion for the sake of the Banks Family.
I hope you and Xion won’t hold it against me…”
Kairi turned around and said seriously, “Uncle Banks, I understand that you had your reasons for what happened to
Xion.
Besides, this matter cannot be blamed on you alone.
Zayne also bears responsibility.
If he hadn’t let Xion go on a killing spree in Japan and wiped out the Matsumoto family, Xion wouldn’t have been
pushed into such a desperate situation…”
Lord Banks let out a heavy sigh and said to Kairi, “Kairi, do you know where Xion is now? I have to apologize to her
in person when I return this time.”
Without hesitation, Zayne spoke up, “Xion is currently at the hotel preparing for the wedding.
We can go see her later.”
“Good,” Lord Banks nodded, then asked, “Did Charlie bring Fitz back for the wedding?”
“He did,” Zayne replied, “Fitz just arrived in Aurous Hill, but I haven’t seen him yet.
He went with Zara to visit Deana first.”
“Ah, right,” Lord Banks mused, “I almost forgot that Deana also settled in Aurous Hill…”
He hung his head in shame and spoke in a low voice, “I almost killed Deana and I nearly killed Zara too.
I’ve been feeling guilty about them for a long time.
I don’t know if I have a chance to visit and apologize to them.
Could you ask them for me?”
Zayne looked at Lord Banks with a hint of discomfort, “I haven’t spoken to Deana in a while, but I can check with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZara and see if she’s willing to arrange a meeting between you two.”
Lord Banks nodded pensively, “Thank you, Zayne.
I’ve had a lot of time to reflect on my life while I was in Madagascar.
I realize now that I’ve placed too much value on the Banks Family’s wealth and power.
My relationships with my loved ones and friends suffered because of it and I was blind to it all.
Now that I’m retired, I can see how despicable I was.
I only hope that Xion, Zara and Deana can forgive me before I return.”
Lord Banks had been arrogant and looked down on everyone when he was in power, but after Charlie took
everything away from him, he had a change of heart.
As he grew older, he couldn’t shake off the weight of his past actions.
He wanted nothing more than to make amends and receive forgiveness from his children and grandchildren.
He saw attending Zayne’s wedding as a chance to seek redemption.
After a brief silence, Lord Banks looked at Zayne with a spark of curiosity, “By the way, Zayne, who’s officiating
your wedding with Kairi?”
“The officiant?” Zayne pondered for a moment, “We didn’t plan on having one and we only invited our families to
keep it simple.
Xion arranged for a well-known host from Eastcliff to be the master of ceremonies.
The thought of having an officiant didn’t even cross our minds.”
Lord Banks listened intently and then made a suggestion, “You should ask Charlie if he’s willing to officiate your
wedding.”
“Charlie?” Zayne looked unsure, “Dad, it’s not that I have anything against him, but usually, people ask elders or
leaders to officiate their wedding.
It’s not common to ask a younger person like him.”
“Younger person?” Lord Banks chuckled, “Do you think we’re in any position to talk about seniority with Charlie?
Even if you call him ‘uncle,’ you’re still overstepping your boundaries!”
