Thinking of the time when he and his men had been chasing Emily but ended up sending Jacob to the hospital instead, a brilliant idea came to Bill's mind.
"I'll make sure you regret trying to play dirty with me!" Bill murmured to himself with a menacing grin on his face.
That afternoon, not a single cloud could be seen in the sky. And the bright warm sun didn't seem to plan on going away. Additionally, the air that day was so humid that the heat almost became unbearable. To make matters more irritating, the birds and insects around wouldn't stop chirping.
It was still a while before the children were going to be let out from their schools, but their parents stood in wait under the radiating heat of the sun. Not a single one of them didn't have sweat on their forehead. Some tried to hide under a tree for shade, but the humid air still made them feel like they were in an oven.
For the parents there, the only thing that could be called positive that day was the orderly sound of teachers giving lessons to their children.
About thirty minutes later, the sound that they had been waiting for finally arrived. A bell rang, following which all the students said goodbye to their teachers and tidied up their things. There was even a bit of banter and playful laughter among the students while they walked outside.
"Beryl, can we go home together today?" Dylan asked with a lovely smile on his face. He jumped over from the desk two rows back just to stand beside Beryl and ask her that question. Before she could respond, he added, "I really hope that the man who usually picks you up is busy today, so we can finally go together."
"Um...I hope that you didn't forget that my parents, uncle, and aunt pick me up from school as well," Beryl replied as she sorted out her things. She was such a capable child that she could even put her books into her bag without looking.
Aside from a few bodyguards, Beryl had more than a handful of family members to pick her up from school. There wasn't a single time she had gone home from school all by herself, not even when Jacob was still in the hospital and Emily was taking care of him.
But since she hadn't seen them for several days, she and her brother couldn't help but miss their parents.
That being said, Beryl was a kind and understanding child. She knew that her father needed time to recover and that her mother couldn't leave his side. With that in mind, she made two promises to herself. First, to be a good girl until Jacob and Emily could finally pick her and Bowen up from their uncle's house. Second, to be a responsible elder sister who took good care of her little brother.
A subtle frown made its way onto Dylan's face when he realized that Beryl's words were true. She had an abundance of family members to take her home. As a result, he said to her in a meek voice, "Oh... How could I forget that you have a big fami
lding her. She managed to run away as well.
"Come on, you idiots! You can't catch me!" Dylan shouted and then pushed Beryl towards the school. This brave act was an attempt to get Bill and his men to follow him.
Even though he was just a child, he could easily tell that these bad men were here specifically for Beryl. As a gentleman, Dylan knew he had to do everything to protect her.
Seeing several stones on the ground, he tried loading them up on his bow.
"You little bastard!" Bill angrily cursed and gestured at his men to grab the kids.
His pride was at an all-time low since he had been made a fool by Jacob just a few days ago, so he wasn't about to let some little kids do the same.
If he did, he didn't know if he could ever face himself in the mirror again.
Seeing the agitated look on Bill's face caused his men to run as fast as they could. The two kids didn't stand a chance against these grown men. In the end, they didn't manage to get away and were quickly brought back in front of Bill. Without a single word, Bill raised his hand and was about to slap Dylan on the face. Suddenly, a woman's voice shouted at him.
"Let them go!"
Even though Bill was a hardened man, Michelle's voice managed to stun him.
That being said, when he saw that she was just a slender woman, he didn't take her seriously. He didn't let go of Dylan and started to drag him away to the car.
All of a sudden, Michelle grabbed Bill's shoulder and casually said, "Old man, are you deaf or something?" As soon as she was finished speaking, she raised her leg and kicked him right in the groin.
Seeing Michelle's bravery made the two children almost fearless. They held hands while cheering her on.
After a while, Michelle dusted the dust off her clothes and said, "Don't tell me I didn't warn you. I wasn't even done warming up and you're already on the ground. I honestly thought you would put up a better fight."
