Chapter 215

The boys didn’t give it much thought and, amid a chorus of reminders, they left school for the day.

The girls, persistent as ever, kept nudging them.

Every day after school, they'd remind them over and over, telling them not to forget to nudge their parents

about having a baby brother, nine of them if possible!

Following Blossom’s instructions, the teacher made sure the kids were safely hbefore she left.

Once the teacher was gone, Elliot announced, “Mom’s not htoday, perfect. After dark, Evan, you're coming

withto pick something up.”

“What's that?” Evan asked, intrigued.

Elliot squinted and said, “Something that'll make Tarquin obediently divorce Mom!*

“Really?”

“Yeah!*

Emmett, ever curious, asked, “What is it, Elliot?”

“You'll see when we get it, Emmett. Just wait at hfor us while | go out with Evan. Don’t run outside, don’t

open the door for strangers, and callimmediately if anything happens. We won't be far, just around the

neighborhood.”

“Okay! I'll wait at hfor you guys.

“Good boy, Emmett.”

After nightfall, Elliot and Evan headed out.

They left Emmett behind, worried about potential dangers since they were retrieving something so valuable.

They couldn't be sure if Gideon would play tricks on them.

The brothers, masked and wearing baseball caps, made their way towards the nearby park.

This was the spot Elliot had agreed on with Gideon.

Since it was winter and getting dark, the park wasn’t crowded, though there were a few people in the small plaza

near the entrance.

The deeper they went, the fewer people they encountered.

Walking along, Evan whispered to Elliot, ‘Elliot, we're being followed.”

“How many?” Elliot frowned.

“Just one.”

Elliot was on edge. He had monitored the area after instructing Gideon to leave the item there. He was sure no

one had noticed it and that Gideon's men had left before he and Evan arrived to retrieve it

Now, who could be following them?

“But don’t worry, withhere, no one can hurt us.” Evan said confidently

“Let’s not jump to conclusions; it could just be someone out for a walk,” Elliot replied softly.

They decided not to head straight for the item but instead meandered through the park.

The figure continued to trail them, making it unclear whether they were being followed or if it was merely a

coincidence.

Growing impatient, Evan whispered again, “Elliot, lethandle this.”

“Be careful!”

They couldn't keep this up indefinitely, Evan decided to confront the follower.

However, as Evan turned and greeted the figure, it suddenly darted into the bushes, clearly indicating something

was amiss.

Who avoids greeting children unless they're up to no good?

With agile steps, Evan gave chase, with Elliot quickly on his heels.

Though not as physically adept as Evan, Elliot had learned sself-defense during his tin the mountains.

They quickly caught up to the figure without much effort since it had stopped running, seemingly waiting for

them. Stopping a few meters away, Evan demanded, “What are you following us for? And why the run? What's

the deal?”

The figure slowly turned around, chuckling eerily. “Heh, heh.”

09:40

Both Elliot and Evan's hearts skipped a beat at the sight!

The person was wearing a terrifying mask. Luckily, they weren't as easily frightened as other kids their age;

otherwise, they might have burst into tears.

The figure laughed in a distorted voice, clearly using a voice changer.

Evan frowned. “Cut the act! Speak up!”
