Chapter 1497 Sudden Change
The person continued, “In the afternoon, there were a few thugs who tried to mess around with him. But right before we had the chance to intervene, the kid had already finished all of them on his own. His moves were quite impressive.”
What? Solomon stopped in his tracks. Counterattack? Did I just hear that a ten-year-old finished some thugs? But, surely, it wasn’t a serious fight.
As Solomon was already arriving at his house, he hung up the phone and entered the house.
“Darling, you’re back?” Ichika was already done preparing spaghetti and happily waiting for Solomon’s arrival.
“Yes.” Solomon smiled and handed over his notebook and jacket to Ichika.
Shortly after, they were both seated at the dining table.
“Darling, who was it you were on the phone with just now? You seemed intrigued while on the phone,” Ichika asked curiously.
Solomon took a few sips of his soup. “It was from the people over at Vivi’s.”
“Huh?” Upon hearing that, Ichika stopped eating abruptly, and her eyes widened. Worried, she continued, “Did something happen? Is Vivi okay?”
“Yes, she’s fine. It was about a little boy named Kurt. He’s the one I told you about before. A distinctive child that the people at Oceanic Estate sent over to study with Vivi,” Solomon briefly explained.
Ichika’s curiosity grew upon hearing that. “Yeah? What about him?”
“I was told that he has amazing fighting skills. So I was thinking, perhaps he’s not even a distinctive child, but instead, he’s someone Sebastian specifically sent over to protect Vivi.”
“What?” Ichika was shocked. “Such a young boy?”
Solomon nodded. “That’s not unusual. Back then, all of the members of SteelFort were recruited when they were around Kurt’s age. After their training, they’d go on and become elite assassins for the Hayes family.”
Both Edmund and Sebastian remained calm and silent.
A moment later, Edmund calmly suggested that they should find out more from the people at Yartran about what happened.
He then sent a text to his friend. Not less than ten minutes later, he received a phone call from Yartran. It was Vivian.
“Daddy…” Vivian was crying uncontrollably.
Sebastian’s heart ached upon hearing that. “All right now, Daddy’s here. Everything will be fine, Vivi.”
“Okay, I-I’ll stop crying now. I knew Daddy would come and rescue Kurt. D-Daddy, you have to come here fast. I can’t let them keep Kurt away. He had nothing to do with what happened to Elaine.” Although Vivian was still sobbing, she toughened herself up and begged Sebastian.
Vivian then added, “Kurt didn’t cause the accident to happen. That night during the Halloween event, everything was going fine as Kurt and I got all dressed up and went over to the event. But once we arrived, Elaine and Helena showed up out of nowhere and confronted us. That was when the scrimmage happened. How could they blame Kurt for that?” Vivian kept wiping her tears as she was trying to explain.
At that moment, Sasha took over the phone. She couldn’t bear to hear her daughter cry. Furthermore, Vivian had always been the most well-protected in the family. “Vivi, it’s Mommy. Don’t worry. Mommy and Daddy will get this settled, okay?”
“Okay.” Vivian was relieved.
