Hubert and Ann actually felt a little disappointed they didn’t get to finish the job themselves.

“Wait, what?” Harimo froze. His little fist stayed stuck in mid–air.

He had expected cheering, high–fives, maybe a victory lap. Why were they so calm? It didn’t make sense.

He scratched his curly hair and leaned in, looking confused. “You guys aren’t happy? He was always messing with us! He said such mean things!”

Ann closed her book. She looked at Harimo with a serious, grown–up expression. “Harimo, bullying is wrong. Hassan wasn’t happy doing those things either. Now that he is gone, we don’t have to think about unhappy things anymore.”

Hubert finally looked up. He glanced at the confused Harimo, then at Ann, who acted like she had everything figured out. “Wasting time on irrelevant people is a distraction from learning,” he said bluntly.

He thought for a second and added, “If you don’t study hard, you’ll end up as stupid as Hassan.”

Harimo was totally defeated. His brain couldn’t quite process that logic. He felt like something was off, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. He just nodded blankly. Okay… I guess you’re right.”

Ann hopped off the tire swing and brushed the dust off her skirt. She grabbed Hubert’s hand. “Come on, let’s get back to class.”

The lessons were useless to them, but they had recently discovered a new hobby: pretending to be normal students without getting caught. It gave them a strange sense of accomplishment. Geniuses definitely have a weird sense of fun.

Harimo let Ann pull him along. His confusion about Hassan quickly faded, replaced by his friend’s smile and the “battle” of the upcoming spelling test.

As the sun shone down on the three children, Harimo didn’t realize that his struggling parents had also been quietly set up with great jobs. Their lives were about to get a lot better. Tatiana and Jasper weren’t stingy when it came to their children’s friends. If the kids liked someone, they were going to help.

With the school situation handled, it was time for the negotiation with Drago.

They met at a desert oasis manor secretly owned by Jasper. It looked peaceful, but the place was a fortress with top–tier electronic jamming and physical security.

When Tatiana saw the estate, she gave Jasper a look. “This place looks perfect for keeping someone locked up.”

Jasper felt a chill run down his spine. “It’s not what you think,” he said, sounding helpless.

Tatiana just hummed and didn’t push it. Jasper sighed. He couldn’t blame anyone but himself: he was the one who had left those scars with his past behavior.

They took a helicopter to the manor. Inside the conference room, the decor was low–key but expensive. Heavy soundproofing blocked out the desert wind.

On one side sat Tatiana, Jasper, and their core team. On the other was the Drago delegation. Their leader
