Chapter 204 The Term That Costs Ten Billion

Oliver replied with bright eyes, “That’s a stupid question. He obviously wants us to go back!”

Gavin giggled. “Jasper’s right. Instead of waiting for Daddy to come to us empty-handed, we might as well make the first move.”

Jasper looked at Gavin. “Have you told him where we are?”

“Not yet, but that was the term in exchange for the ten billion!” Gavin explained to his siblings.

Oliver did not raise his objection.

Jasper put some thought into Gavin’s explanation and agreed he was right and did not object to it.

“Are we going back? Will he hit us for what we have done?” Jesse pouted with uneasiness as she had never met Benjamin before.

Gavin patted Jesse’s head and comforted, “I don’t think he will hit any of us.”

Seeing his siblings unanimously agreeing to the plan, he stood up and said, “I’ll go tell Mommy about it.”

Although he was the one who negotiated with Benjamin behind Arissa’s back, Gavin knew that he should tell Arissa the truth and let her make the final call.

“Uh-huh. I agree that we should tell her too!” Zachary nodded in agreement. “Otherwise, she will be very angry if she discovers that we had sold our location without telling her.”

Gavin ran out to look for Arissa. Arissa and Bradley were in the kitchen down the stairs. They had prepared extra food as the head of the village was coming over for dinner.

“Mommy, I need to tell you something!” exclaimed Gavin.

Arissa cleaned her hands and walked over to Gavin. “What’s the matter, Sweetheart?”

Gavin spoke softly with a sense of guilt. “Mommy, I made a trade with Daddy.”

“Trade? What trade?” Arissa was shocked and urged Gavin to explain.

“It’s if he gave me ten billion, then I will tell him our location,” said Gavin with a timid voice as his eyes stole glances at Arissa.

Arissa was stupefied for a moment before giggling. She rubbed Gavin’s head and asked, “Did he agree to it? Ten billion is a huge amount of money, and I don’t think he will give it to you that easily.”

Gavin held up his phone and showed Arissa the proof of transfer message. “He already did.”
