Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 342

Leo had returned from the elite training facility earlier that day alongside one of the old friends at the table.

Since they were already dining together, Professor Banks decided to bring Leo along for the meal.

When a group of distinguished elders got together, the conversation naturally revolved around reminiscing about the past, bragging about their kids, or discussing high-level industry affairs.

Leo listened quietly. He didn't make a fuss, didn't complain, and genuinely didn't find it boring at all.

One of the friends praised him, "Harrison, your boy is exceptionally well-behaved. Most kids his age would lose their minds sitting with a bunch of old men, but he hasn't made a peep."

Professor Banks proudly placed a piece of chicken on Leo's plate, absolutely beaming. "Of course. Just look at whose boy he is."

Sitting on Leo's other side, Headmaster Hedges placed a piece of beef on the boy's plate and added, "Exactly. Just look at whose student he is."

The table went silent. "?"

Everyone immediately demanded, "What do you mean by that?"

Headmaster Hedges' eyes gleamed with pride. "Leo's under my jurisdiction now. He just came back with me today."

Everyone in that room knew exactly what Headmaster Hedges did for a living.

Every year, the government dispatched recruiters nationwide to handpick the most brilliant prodigies for highly classified, specialized training.

Headmaster Hedges was the commanding officer of that elite facility—essentially its principal.

But they had never seen a recruit this young.

To be targeted by the government at his age meant his intellect was nothing short of terrifying.

Though everyone in the room was a seasoned veteran who understood protocol perfectly, Professor Banks still offered a quiet reminder: "Classified."

The group nodded in solemn agreement, one chuckling, "Don't worry. The second I walk out that door, I'll have total amnesia."

Since everyone present was a heavy smoker, they were itching for a cigarette after the meal, but held back out of respect for the child.

Noticing this, Leo politely excused himself to use the restroom.

The private room had its own bathroom, but the elders instantly recognized his thoughtful gesture and found themselves adoring the boy even more.

Professor Banks signaled two of his bodyguards to follow the boy and watch him like a hawk.

The restaurant featured a dedicated children's play area. After finishing up in the restroom, Leo texted Professor Banks and walked over to the playroom.

To his surprise, he bumped right into Hunter Sutton, who was currently trying to rip a toy out of another kid's hands.

"Give it to me, you fat pig! I want to play with it!"

Archie refused to let go. "This is my toy! I'm playing with it!"

"It's not yours, it belongs to the restaurant! Give it!"

Hunter violently shoved Archie to the floor and snatched the toy car right out of his hands.

"Waaah..." Archie burst into tears, rubbing his eyes.
