âA pear would be nice.
Thanks.
â
Sonny was taken aback.
Heâd spoken out of politeness, but Colby took him seriously.
Didnât the boy say he was sleepy?
Well, since heâd lost to Colby today, he figured heâd peel a pear for him anyway.
He hurriedly got dressed and then sat by Colbyâs bed.
He picked up the fruit knife from the bedside table and carefully started peeling the pear for Colby.
Colby tilted his head and stared at Sonny, lost in thought.
Then he asked, âIs Kyson Shaw good at fighting? Do you know that guy well?â
Sonny was momentarily stunned.
âHeâs your godfather, Colby.
You should show him some respect.
â
âHeâs Destineeâs godfather, not mine.
â Colbyâs voice was youthful but resolute, his chin raised slightly in a show of arrogance.
He vividly recalled the day Kyson cracked open a durian with his bare hand.
He wanted to know more about Kyson since Kyson was his adversary.
Sonny replied, âHe used to be the director of the Secret Investigation Department and trained there for years.
Heâs a formidable fighter.
â
Colby made a face.
According to their agreement, Kyson still needed to fulfill two requests.
With that in mind, Colby decided heâd make those requests tougher.
He wanted to see Kyson, the villain, suffer!
Sonny continued, peeling the pear, âBut he is nothing compared to your father.
Your father completely thrashed him.
Even I taught him a lesson a few times!â
Sonnyâs eyes gleamed mischievously as he spoke with a hint of smugness.
Colby, clearly impressed, leaned in closer.
âHow did you teach him a lesson? Can you tell me the details?â
âWellâ¦â
Sonny hesitated.
The methods used in the National Security Bureauâs interrogation room werenât suitable for a childâs ears.
What if he scared Colby?
Colby blinked, his eyes curious and eager.
âDid you ever fight him? Who came out on top?â
Hearing Colbyâs words, Sonny suddenly recalled his old agreement with Kyson.
Years ago, when they assisted Nathan with the milk powder case, Sonny and Kyson had planned to spar once the investigation concluded.
At that time, he had boldly declared that if he were defeated by Kyson, he would resign from his position as deputy director of the National Security Bureau on the spot.
Unexpectedly, life had become quite eventful since then.
Hilliard and Jennifer had married, and he had gotten engaged to Luisaâ¦
He had been so preoccupied that he had completely forgotten about the challenge.
Kyson had apparently forgotten as well.
âNo, I havenât.
But you know what? Iâm way better than Kyson.
He doesnât stand a chance against me.
â
âReally? Thatâs great.
Youâre so awesome!â Colby beamed and seemed to resolve something in his mind.
