Thousands of Brilliant Stars: You Deserve the Best!-Chapter 166: Have You Been Well These Five Years?

Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Have You Been Well These Five Years?

Upon hearing Felix Crawford’s voice, Lachlan Wyatt and Iris Crawford realized they were still at the center of everyone’s attack!

Iris took advantage of Lachlan’s distraction and finally pulled her son back to her side, but he didn’t let go of Felix’s hand.

At this moment, Felix shouted, "Let go, Young Master Wyatt."

Just a moment ago, in a crucial moment, he blurted out ’Dad’, but now...

Lachlan’s heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, "These past few days with you by my side, I’ve truly been so happy."

Felix was startled, looking at Lachlan who still wore the cap, handmade by Iris, that belonged to Felix.

It was something related to his mom, and Lachlan must have snatched the cap away because of that.

He took off the cap and returned it to Felix, and in doing so, Lachlan felt as if he was tearing his heart out.

Felix was stunned, originally standing next to Iris, he took a few steps forward, "You..."

"Go back to your mom’s side."

After placing the cap properly on Felix’s head, Lachlan’s gaze was shattered, then he gently pushed Felix back who was stepping forward, "I’m already so happy that you came to find me."

Felix felt a bittersweet ache in his heart and couldn’t say anything. Iris turned him around, and the bodyguards surrounded them again, bringing some pressure to Lachlan’s expression, "Are you still deciding to make a move?"

"Mr. Wyatt has already sent his men over..." The bodyguard kicked away by Iris got up from the ground clutching his stomach, panting as he said, "None of you are leaving today!"

As expected, the encirclement grew smaller, Lachlan and Iris stood back to back, both gritting their teeth.

"Hey, is your father really that ruthless, willing to deal with his own son?"

"I already said, he doesn’t count as my father, at most just provided the sperm." Lachlan sneered, "You take your son and fall back—"

"And you were just the sperm I found—" Iris couldn’t stand his paternal tone, so she interrupted Lachlan’s words, just then, a bodyguard charged at Lachlan!

Iris’s heart tightened, just about to speak, something seemed thrown in from outside the door, the next second it exploded in the air, turning everything before them into white light!

"Flashbang?"

The word flashed through Lachlan’s mind, before he had time to speak, chaotic footsteps filled his ears, and then another small ball was thrown in—the moment it burst opened with a hiss, smoke instantly filled the villa’s hall!

Lachlan couldn’t tell if the person who threw the smoke and flashbang was friend or foe, when his hand was yanked hard from behind! "Come with me!"

In the next second, three people were pulled forward by a strong force, then directly pulled out through the hole in the floor-length window Iris had jumped through!

As the smoke dispersed, Iris waved away the mist before her eyes forcefully, recognizing a familiar face.

"Birdie!"

This name—who else but the members of the agency would call...

But, wasn’t the agency disbanded!

A speeding business car approached in the distance, braking heavily enough to kick up dust before someone rolled down the window in the driver’s seat, "Get in!"

It was James Chesterton!

So, the pulling force that drove them out... Iris turned her head to find that the one holding their clothes was indeed Martin Hawthorne!

Felix was so excited he jumped onto Martin’s chest, and Martin actually caught him directly, letting him sit in the crook of his arm as if holding a child, his strong muscles firmly taking Felix.

Felix clung to Martin’s neck, "You’re that legendary world-class King of Boxing, right!"

Martin didn’t speak, but his whole aura said it all.

"People outside even call you the ’Killing Machine’! I didn’t expect to see you here!" Felix kicked his legs, then saw the man calling Iris Birdie on the side.

Cinnamon hair, a USB necklace on his chest.

"You’re the famous hacker L, right! Brother Shane always talked to me about your past legends!"

"I’m still a legend now, aren’t I!" James winked at Felix, "Get in, Peach drove us here!"

Peach?

Felix’s eyes widened in surprise, "The black doctor Peach, the woman possessed by the devil, who likes dissections and human experiments, loves listening to hardcore rock!"

A beautiful woman with smoky makeup flicked the cigarette in her hand, "Yo, you’re so familiar with me, are you secretly in love with me? You can’t do that, you’re still young, but I can wait for you to grow up."

After saying that, Peach started the car, and the woman in the passenger seat leaned over her head, "Watch out, people are catching up from behind!"

Lachlan, without blinking, performed a spinning kick that sent those chasing them flying away, "Thanks, Sarah Shaw!"

"Thank my brother, he was the one who found out the flight and knew Felix came back."

Sarah scratched her head, opening the rear door for them.

Felix’s eyes were shining, "Are you the mysterious agency members? I’ve heard there’s an invisible man in the agency, sis, are you the invisible person who can handle everything and clean up the messes! How much capital power do you control!"

Sarah pouted cutely, "I just have a very powerful brother who can handle everything."

A gentleman sitting in an office wearing white gloves, reading documents, sneezed, while Christopher Vaughn squinted his eyes, "Elias Shaw, do you have a cold?"

"No." Elias Shaw smiled, "Why are you so wary of me, sir?"

"You’re so good that it threatens the ruler, a sneeze from you makes me nervous for days."

Christopher intentionally said sarcastically, "If you’re gone, the entire mechanism would grind to a halt."

Elias laughed helplessly, "Sir, don’t tease me, I guess it’s my sister who caused me trouble again."

And now, these legendary figures stood right in front of Felix!

The agency, the good friends from back then, had returned!

Iris and the others quickly got in the car, no training was needed for such seamless cooperation, because five years ago, they had been through life and death countless times.

This group of people, they are their eternal support.

"Hold tight!"

Once inside, they discovered there was another person in the car, and Felix froze.

Wow, what a beautiful man!

"Patrick Pierce...?" Felix muttered, "I’ve seen you on TV!"

"I’ve retired from the circle a long time ago; you must have seen my commemorative report."

They boarded the car, and Patrick got out.

Iris froze, then came to her senses, "Are you planning to do what you did five years ago..."

Patrick casually snapped his fingers, "Exactly, you go first."

Just like five years ago?

Lachlan remembered, it was the night Iris was taken away by Jonas Kingsley. Their staff members divided their tasks and worked together to bring Iris back, and just as they were going to be surrounded, Patrick made his move. With his appearance, the crowd of onlookers blocked the way of those people, allowing them to whisk Iris away openly—

Could it be...

Iris looked at Patrick’s carefree figure getting out of the car, "Be careful."

"Don’t underestimate me." Patrick’s eyes were sharp, his smile breathtaking, "I’ve retired for five years, but once I appear—it’s still earth-shattering because of me."

He got out of the car, flipped his hat towards the back of his neck, revealing a face that hadn’t changed at all, still strikingly beautiful and indistinguishable between male and female. The Wyatt Family’s bodyguards stopped cold when they were about to chase, "Where did this beauty come from? No, handsome guy, wait... this man or woman, so familiar!"

"Is it Patrick Pierce!"

"Seems real! Oh my god, retired for five years, I miss him so much!"

"Patrick Pierce! Patrick Pierce! Don’t leave!"

Before the bodyguards could think more, a frenzy of fans surged in from all directions, blocking the villa’s entrance completely!

"Best Actor Pierce, why did you retire back then, it pains me."

"Patrick Pierce, Auntie has some money; come live with Auntie, Auntie will take care of you!!"

"Hurry and move!" The bodyguards were pressing their horns anxiously, but the crowd ignored them, for in front of them stood the once-famous Patrick Pierce!

Peach drove the car away quickly, Iris watched the growing crowd behind and sighed, "Even after five years, only Patrick Pierce can still have such an impact..."

"Departing this way, both gods and devils would curtain for him."

Sarah spoke meaningfully, then switched to a lighter tone, "Alright, let’s stop talking about this, welcome back, our little Birdie."

Turns out, they had never truly been apart.

Turns out time could never shake some things.

At that moment, Iris felt a wave of hot tears about to overflow from her eyes, her eye rims reddened as she turned her face away, saying, "I just returned to the country..."

"Every day for these five years, we waited for you to come back. But you married into The Kingdom of L as a Princess and never returned. This time, Felix made an excuse to return to the country, and you came along; we received the news and came to help immediately."

The spacious business car could fit all of them, and James, sitting in the third row, said, "Kid, how did you know about us?"

"I found out once when I went online into the dark web with Brother Shane."

"You even know about the dark web?"

Martin said in surprise, "You sure know a lot, and are you really Lachlan’s son?"

"What do you mean?"

Lachlan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, "You’re saying I’m not as smart as my son, aren’t you?"

Felix chuckled softly, which Sarah found adorable, reaching to the second row to touch his face, "Yes, feels like little Fae just needs to work a bit harder to catch up to you."

Lachlan scoffed, showing disdain.

Iris sat beside him, and it was the first time in five years they were this close.

So close, wanting so much to touch her.

But Lachlan lowered his eyelashes, his eyes dimmed.

His fingers curled in.

She was a woman he could no longer touch.

Up front, Peach was still driving, "To celebrate your return, how about eating at the office?"

"I might have to take Felix back..." Iris’s eyes were suppressed, "Sorry, you went to such lengths to save me..."

"Iris, have you been caught in some strange events for these five years?"

James spoke sharply, "For example, marrying into the Royal Family, besides rectifying your sister’s issues and solving scandals for the royal family, is there more..."

Jonas Kingsley?

Damn, how did he not think of this before, and used those heart-wrenching words to accuse her of greed and vanity!

Lachlan’s eyes suddenly opened wide, looking at Iris in disbelief, his chest electric with dense currents, igniting pain, "Did you have a reason for obstinately marrying into the Royal Family?"

Iris’s shoulders trembled, after five years, she didn’t want to say anything to Lachlan anymore, after five years of misunderstanding, what’s another explanation?

"Why not say it? You won’t even mention the child’s matter, too cruel, keeping me in the dark—"

She looked down at Felix, suddenly pushing him directly into Lachlan’s arms, her voice sharp, "This is your child, the child of the woman you despised, thinking she was after riches and luxuries! I’ve been living well for these five years—"

"I haven’t been living well at all!"

Lachlan trembled, tasting blood in his throat, his eyes scarlet looking at Iris, seemingly in utmost agony, speaking to Iris, "Married to Dante for these five years, I might as well have been dead!"
