The recorder for the interview was turned off and Ryu stood up tp leave.Just as he was about to exit Judge Baek said,"Mr Long,what I am about to say is probably ethically wrong but you should know.Tomorrow a court appointed child psychologist will come and give his report about Ru.Following which if enough evidence is not available then I will make a ruling for joint custody.But you can do something to help tilt the scales.Register your marriage.There is a wealth of difference between a married couple and an engaged couple."
"Thank you,Judge Baek.I'll keep your suggestion in mind."
As he exited the chambers,Leona Knight was waiting outside for him.
She sauntered to him and gloated,"I knew you wouldn't reveal the truth about two years ago.After all you can't hurt your precious son by telling him the truth.But, honey,when you erased those medical records to protect Ru you helped me get back at you.Thank you so much.Now I will have my dear son and my revenge.Don't worry,I will do you a favor and not kill Ru this time."
Ryu smirked back at her went close to her ear and whispered,"Leona,dream on.You will not be getting within a hand's distance of my son.And killing him?You will be buried six feet under the ground before you can even think of it."With his threat hanging in the air,Ryu straightened and left her standing there.
Neil and Assistant Yang were waiting outside in the car for Ryu. As he sat in the car,Ryu gestured for Assistant Yang to begin his report."Boss,I have emailed the names of judges who have accepted bribes and those who have threatened the Judge.All proofs of their misdemeanors have been collected and handed over to the police head.They will wait for your go ahead and then proceed."

"And the esteemed Mr Pei?",Ryu asked
"He will be absent in court tomorrow.Allegations of insider trading,bribing,under the table deals and news of losses in big projects have been given to the media.Tomorrow at this time he is going to be busy in an emergency meeting.Everything is going as per your plan,Sir."Assistant Yang answered concisely.Ryu Long had already put in motion his plan long before anyone could think of.Just because a man did not stoop to underhanded and illegal ways did not mean that he could not twist the law and rules to suit himself.Those who planned to mess with him were going to suffer.
Ryu then opened his bag and passed on a big folder to Neil.Neil took it and as he opened the folder,his eyes nearly bulged with the overload of information."How did you.....?"
Ryu answered his unasked question,"Keep your friends close and enemies closer.You know that."
Neil actually felt a bit uneasy at his brother's thoroughness.He said hesitatingly,"But if you had this then you did not need to be married...Why go that route then?"
"Plan B." was the straight answer.
Indeed,Ryu had not felt the need for marriage.Though all the formalities had been completed,he had considered marriage only as plan B.But,now with Alicia,tying her to him immediately seemed like a good suggestion.Earlier the idea of marriage to anyone had been loathsome but now not so much.
"Neil,make preparations to register our marriage tomorrow.Fill in the forms today and submit the documents.Tomorrow before the hearing,we will register our marriage."
After this,the two brothers separated and went on their way.Tomorrow was his birthday and he had prepared some unique return gifts.He hoped his dear enemies liked them.

The Selection
Former title: Lusarth Fauxun. Roughly two millennia ago, Mana and monsters appeared in the world of Eiruta overnight, forcing all organisms to undergo a selection process; those who could not adapt to the Mana died while the remaining reproduced and lived on. This catastrophic event was recorded in every race living on the continent of Sholoth, a land mass covering half the planet, except the Humans, who seem to harbor a secret. Beyond Sholoth lay the 'Cursed Territory,' where anyone brave enough to venture has never returned... In a safer part of the world, a young Kai recently turns 11 years old and can finally enroll at the Academy. It has been his life-long dream to become an adventurer, alongside friends, exploring the world and fighting monsters. How could this innocent boy end up abandoning his childhood ambitions and instead end up working for Cascabel, an infamous organization that commits the most atrocious crimes?

After the world is almost entirely overrun by a mysterious force known only as the Spread, individual cities struggle to survive behind Barriers with limited resources under the direct supervision of the richest among them. Accidentally overhearing a plot by his city's leader to doom a large swathe of the population, Lysander Badeaux concocts a last ditch slapdash plan to save them. Enlisting the help of the city's most feared assassin, the Red Morn, he sets out to fix what's broken, only to stumble upon more than he bargained for in the process. With Red keeping a host of secrets from him--and not to mention following him around for some inexplicable reason--Lysander may just bumble his way into a conspiracy or a magic world or, if he's excessively unlucky (and he is), both.

This genre-bending supernatural thriller weaves elements of murder mystery, romance, high school drama, humor, and, of course, a terrifying ghost story.(Excerpt from "Her Terrifying Love")Jack's chest heaved. "You said he was dead."Lyla inched closer and whispered, "He had no pulse!" "Maybe he was just stunned.""We carried him all that way," she said. "He wasn't breathing.""But maybe he woke up after we left him down there.""Woke up?! His neck was broken."Jack hung his head. He couldn't make sense of this."I know how this is gonna sound, but..." He choked on his words. "When I went to pick up my car from the body shop yesterday, he was standing across the street. Watching me.""Who was?!""Keenan. I swear to God.""No way," she asserted. "That's crazy talk. He's dead.""It was him." Jack nodded. "He had a frickin' giant tattoo on his neck." A shiver flashed down Lyla's spine. Jack confirmed what she'd been dreading.
