NovelFinishChapter 437 He bolted towards us, aiming to snatch Elliot and make a break for it! But Evan wasn't having any of it. With swift agility, he darted in front of Elliot, grabbed the attacker's fist, and executed a perfect judo throw.
The attacker hit the ground hard, bounced back up, and staggered several steps backward.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtClearly, he hadn't anticipated Evan's moves to be so adept. He shot Evan a surprised glance, then spun on his heel, sprinting towards the window, intending to smash through it and escape.
It was obvious he wanted no part in a tussle with the two young boys.
But before he could reach the window, a wave of dizziness hit him, and his limbs began to weaken.
Realizing something was amiss, he turned, staring at Elliot and Evan in bewilderment, "Did you guys drug me?" Elliot knew it must be Emmett's incense that had kicked in, and calmly stated, "Since you're already here, no need to rush off. Let's have a chat." The attacker, still puzzled about the drug, questioned, "How did you manage to drug me?" Instead of answering directly, Elliot dismissed the waiter at the door, then turned to the attacker, saying, "The drug will only paralyze your nerves and weaken your ability to fight but won't take your life. No worries." The attacker looked at them meaningfully, "You guys are full of surprises and honestly, quite impressive. Makeseven more eager to play the role of your guardian." Elliot's eyes widened, "It's you!" He hadn't forgotten the conversation at Sunshine Community with the mysterious figure who had offered to be their 'guardian.' This man in black was that mysterious figure! The attacker smiled broadly, openly admitting, "Yes, it's me." The group was astounded.
Instead of leaving, the attacker settled himself on the couch, rubbing his temples, then looked at Elliot and said, "Luringhere with Nola, you must have tons of questions. Shoot, I'm in a good mood today, might answer more than you expect." Elliot didn't hold back, blurting out, "Who exactly are you?" This was burning on their minds! But the mysterious figure dodged, "Let's skip that. I'd rather not say." Evan clenched his fists, ready to force the issue, but the man chuckled, "Evan, if you resort to violence, I might decide not to answer any more of your questions. Is that all you want to know, who I am? Don't you have other questions?" Evan gritted his teeth, but Elliot held him back, signaling him to stay cool.
They indeed had a myriad of questions on their mind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElliot pressed on, "The day our mom passed out, was it you who took her to the hospital? And then you took Elijah away from her?"
"Yes, that was me. After taking Elijah, I contacted Nola, had her hand Elijah over to Targuin So.Xif Dsay I'm your savior, you wouldn't object, right? Without me, your mom might have died in childbirth."
Elliot countered, frowning, "We do object! If you truly wanted to save our mom, why did you then leave us in the dangerous wilderness instead of keeping us safe at the hospital?"
The attacker explained, "Originally, after taking Elijah, I planned to leave you to your fate. But then, for sreason, Nchanged my mind...
Speaking of which, I've got a question too. How did you survive? And where did you learn your skills?" Seeing he was clueless about their mountain benefactor, Elliot naturally didn't volunteer any information, merely stating, "By divine grace, our lives were spared." The attacker chuckled, "You sure are lucky ones." Elliot steered the conversation back, "Back then, why did you take Elijah to Tarquin? What was your aim? And why did you only take Elijah but left us behind?" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
