"Uncle..." His voice trembled with obvious and profound trepidation, "I did not mean to steal the tablet. I was just curious. Because he plays games every day... I, I'm so envious. I just want to see what kind of game is so attractive."
The man's eyebrows knitted, "This tablet is not yours?"
"It's not mine, it's Alfie's!" He cried and pleaded, "Could you please let me go, uncle? I'm a good boy. I promise never to steal again, never again. I can write a pledge."
"Who is Alfie?"
"Alfie is Alfie."
The man was anxious, "Whose child is Alfie?"
"It's the heir of the Marsh Group, and he has a twin sister named Diana. I've only heard the teachers talk about it secretly. I'm not sure. But his family is really rich, and there's a special car to take him to and from school every day."
The man cursed under his breath and punched himself in the thigh!
At that moment, the screen of the tablet in his hand suddenly went black.
No matter how he tried to reboot it or pressed the buttons, the screen remained blank.
"It's over..." His heart sank; he panicked.
He caught the wrong person, while the tablet automatically wiped its data. Their location obviously would be exposed, so probably someone was going after them already.
Squeak.
The car's harsh breaking sounded ear-piercing!
Their taxi almost hit the car in front of them that deliberately blocked their way!
Immediately after that, several people in black went off from that car and surrounded the taxi!
Kyle was only a programmer of R-Alan, not a professional fighter; he had never learned kung fu. He was losing his nerve the first time he encountered something like this!
The driver opened the door, and he raised his hands above his head, surrendering, "No, not, it's none of my business. I'm just a driver! I just picked up the customers as requested!"
The eyes of the men in black turned to the back seat of the car.
Seth was so scared that his face paled, and at this moment he especially missed his mom and dad, because he didn't know what these people were going to do to him.
"I'll never steal anything again, never again." He burst into a rage of tears, "Daddy, I want Daddy. Mommy, Mommy where are you?"
Half an hour later.
In the VIP lounge of a clubhouse next to the kindergarten.
Ivan sat with Alfie in the sofa in front of the window. Legs crossed, he casually put his hand on his son's shoulder, looking calm as still water, but his strong presence could not be ignored.
