Chapter 157 Go And Send Them Away
The bodyguard kept looking at the shiny dagger. One small slip, and I’ll…
“Little one, we were only following orders! It’s nothing personal!”
The bodyguard’s body was tense as he did not dare to move an inch. One small slip from the boy’s hand and I’m done for.
Zachary gave them a sharp-edged glare which was very imposing. “I want to hear the truth. Or else…”
“I’ll talk! But can you put the dagger away first?”
The dagger was indiscriminate. The bodyguard sucked in his stomach as he asked him to put it away.
Zachary pulled the dagger away by one tiny bit, but he was still threatening him.
The other bodyguard had a panicked look on his face. He did not dare to say anything and risk offending Zachary while sympathizing with his companion. Luckily, I wasn’t the one who called Mr. Graham in the early morning.
“I only sent Mr. Graham a few photos of an adult bringing one of you outside! All the photos after that were never sent! Mr. Graham asked us to protect you guys from the shadows, that’s all!”
Zachary rolled his eyes as he tried to discern the truth from his words.
“I was the one who went outside with Mr. Hinton to buy our breakfast!” Oliver explained to Zachary, believing that the bodyguard was not lying.
Jasper tightened the restraints around the bodyguard’s wrists. “Lie to us again, and we’ll make things worse for you!”
The bodyguard’s body hunched over as he twitched in pain.
The people who were passing by assumed that they were playing with the children instead of being threatened by them.
“Did you say anything about how many of us there are?”
Zachary gestured at the both of them using his dagger.
They shook their heads. “We didn’t! Don’t worry. If you don’t want Mr. Graham to know, then we’ll keep this a secret! But now that Mr. Graham has seen one of you guys, can we take a few more pictures and report it?”
Zachary stared at them as they begged.
He had an imposing presence.
“Aren’t you guys afraid of being found out by Benjamin?”
The two of them exchanged glances miserably. They would never have accepted this commission if they knew that it would reach this point.
“We are! But we also want the best for you!”
