Just then, Noelle felt a light tug at the back of her shirt.

She looked down.

At some point, the little boy had stepped out from behind her..

He stood on the beach, his small figure looking especially thin and fragile in front of those dark gun barrels.

The sea breeze lifted the hair from his forehead, revealing those bright black eyes.

His back was straight.

He raised his head and looked at the lead inspector.

He did not say a word.

He just looked at him.

The inspector met his gaze. At first, he froze.

Then his expression began to change.

First came confusion, then shock, and finally, fear.

It was the kind of fear that came from the deepest part of a person, the kind that sank into your bones.

His lips began to tremble. He almost lost his grip on the gun in his hand. His whole body went stiff, like he’d been struck by lightning.

“Y–You… Y–You are…”

The inspector’s words got stuck in his throat, as if something had lodged there.

His face went from pale to green, then from green back to pale Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead one by one.

With a loud clang, the gun slipped from his hand and hit the ground. His legs gave out, and he stumbled back two steps, nearly dropping to his knees.

“S–Sorry to bother you!” His voice cracked into a shrill squeak, like someone had grabbed him by the throat. “We were blind. We didn’t know who you were. We’ll leave right now. Right now!”

Without

He was fast, faster than a rabbit.

panicked rush.

Soon, the beach was left with nothing but a mess of footprints, the distant backs of the fleeing men, and the sound of the wind howling off the sea.

“They just left?” Lucas stared in the direction they had disappeared, blinking. “I thought we were definitely about to throw down. I already had my gun ready at my waist, and they just ran?”

He looked down at the gun he had not even pulled out yet, his face full of confusion.

Jasper did not say anything, but his eyes were locked on the little boy’s small back.

He had seen that whole scene clearly just now, especially the way the inspector had looked at the child.

That was not ordinary fear.

That was instinctive dread, fear from the depths of the soul.

It was the natural reaction of someone beneath another when facing someone far above them.

This child was definitely not ordinary.

Lucas stepped closer to Noelle and lowered his voice. “Noey, don’t you think those guys ran off kind of weird? Why did they suddenly…”

He stopped halfway through the sentence, then froze.

He glanced at the little boy standing not far away, then looked in the direction the men had fled. Suddenly, it hit him.

“Was it him?” Lucas’s voice nearly floated away. “Because of this little/guy?”

Jasper said coldly, “Who else? Because you’re so handsome?”

For once, Lucas did not snap back. He just stared at the boy’s tiny figure, his brows drawn tight.

“But how old is he? Why would those people be scared of him?“,

Jasper did not answer, but his gaze grew darker.

Noelle did not say anything either. She just lowered her eyes and looked at the little boy standing in front of her.

The child seemed to sense her gaze and turned around.

He tilted his face up and looked at her.

Moonlight fell into his eyes, making them shimmer. They were clear and clean, exactly the same as before.

It was as if that tense standoff, and those investigators who had fled in a panic, had nothing to do with him

at all.

Lucas could not help speaking up, his voice full of careful curiosity. “Hey, kid, those guys just now…

The little boy looked at him and blinked.

His eyes were so innocent, like a newborn fawn’s, soft and wet and pure enough to make Lucas feel guilty for even asking.
