One wrong move and things could go south. After all, children's moods were the most unpredictable.
Right then, Caleb closed the chat window.
"Tim, let's not rush right now."
Timothy couldn't help panicking. "Don't you see him asking a question? Hurry up and answer him!"
"It's not the right time to answer. Let's keep him hanging for a bit. Besides, you just said you have something to deal with later.
"Since he wants an answer now, he won't delete your number. At least not until you finish that story," Caleb explained.
"Isn't that obvious? What if he deletes my number right after I finish the story?"
"That's a problem for next time. But if you tell him now, he might delete your number as soon as he hears about the story."
"Are you sure about this?" Timothy asked skeptically.
"It's a strategy called 'luring him in by letting him go.' You even told him you were trying to bribe him. He definitely won't delete your number. His impression of you should also be much better now. After all, you were a hero of some sort."
Timothy looked at the computer and replied, "I never considered myself a hero. At least to the child, I am an unforgivable sinner."
"No. The term 'unforgivable sinner' falls short. To the kid, you are probably an irresponsible asshole."
Hearing the word "asshole", Timothy felt like he had been stabbed in the heart.
He snapped, "Shut up if you don't know what to say."
"Aw shucks! Why not? Did the hero have something to attend to? Did he mention when he would continue?"
"He seemed to have some work to attend to. After all, he seemed to be in a meeting when we hacked in earlier."
The subordinate who clearly remembered what they had done guiltily asked, "Sir, will the hero be upset that we disrupted his meeting when we hacked in earlier?"
"Hmph. He's just a fallen hero. What's there to be upset about?" Sage retorted.
"Sir, honestly, if you had continued just now, you might not have won. We're not trying to take credit away from ourselves. But really, the hero from that era was really powerful."
"Yeah! He's been in retirement for many years, but not even the seven of us could beat him just now. You can clearly see the difference between him and us."
"I agree. In that case, compared to the hero from the Lane family, who's stronger?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen
Enjoyed reading this but I agree that the last chapter seemed rushed. Maybe if the author had done a few more chapters to let us know if they remarried or not - could there be a second book in the running. Anyway we'll done....
Who's Claude in chapters 276/277? Have I missed a chapter or something?...
I've never encountered a book with over 1,000 chapters. Does the author or platform not use an editor? The writing and grammatical errors are quite frustrating....
Why does it read status ongoing? If it’s ongoing chapter 1187 isn’t the end, I’m confused...
Chapter 1187 is the end? Too soon of a ending if its the ending they just ruined the sorty for me...
It reads 7 chapters per day, yet today only 2...
Patiently waiting for her to realize they belong together...
