Luca frowned tightly. He glanced coldly at the little girl who was standing in front of him, just up to his knees. âWhere are you from?â Why did he remember that Eliza had only given birth to two sons?
The smile on Lilianaâs face disappeared. She crossed her arms around her chest and looked at Lucaâs face seriously. âGrandpa, what are you saying?â âOf course, my mommy gave birth to me!â âYouâre my mommyâs daddy and you donât know?â Luca frowned and didnât say anything. Demarion sighed helplessly and briefly told Luca about Liliana. âIn short, she was separated from us when she was born.â
âAnd then we reunited again by chance.â After that, Demarion raised his head and looked at Lucaâs face seriously. âGrandpa, I know what you are worried about.â âDonât worry. We will take good care of mommy and let her regain her memories.â âWe â¦â âDo you know?â Luca took a deep breath, squatted down, and looked at the Demarion seriously. âDo you know what kind of family you are facing?â âIf you take her away now, itâs equivalent to going against the entire Chapman family.â âNo matter how powerful Beau is in Krine, he wonât be able to do anything in Puskia.â âHere, even if the financial resources of Chapman family and Benton family declined, they are still the most frightening families in terms of power.â âEliza is the young lady of the Chapman family, the future young madam of the Benton family. If you kidnapped her, do you know what you will face in the future?â Demarion paused and looked up with a determined look in his eyes. âWeâve been fully prepared before coming here.â âNo matter how powerful the Chapman family and Benton family is, we canât hand over our mommy.â After that, the little fellow took a deep breath and said, âPapa and I have studied the difficulties that the Chapman family is facing now.â D As the most economic minded little fellow among the three siblings, Demarion looked serious and said, âIf the Chapman family could properly contact us before and tell my father what the Chapman family is facing now, he will definitely help since the Chapman family is my motherâs family.â âBut the Chapman family secretly drugged my father and kidnapped my mommy, which is a natural provocation to the Valentine family.â âSo, even if we donât kidnap mommy, the Chapman family and Benton family will not reconcile with us again.â âOriginally, we are enemies. We donât care about this.â Luca was stunned. He stared at the little fellow in front of him. His eyes were clear. It was indeed a five-year-old childâs eyes.
But what he said⦠The statement was logical. It was not like something a child could say. He had lived for more than 50 years, but he did not expect to be evenly matched with a five year-old child. Seeing that he did not speak, Demarion took a deep breath and looked up with a faint smile. âGrandpa stopped our car. Do you want to stop us on behalf of the Chapman family, or to help us point out a more suitable way to escape?â Luca knitted his eyebrows tightly. This little fellow was not simple. He did not ask why he had come, nor did he ask too many pleasantries. He directly asked whether he was here to stop them or to help them. Demarion gave him two choices directly. The first option was to become an enemy. The other one was to become friends. Luca was silent for a long time. After a while, he smiled. âYour IQ is inherited from your father, isnât it?â Eliza, how could she have such eloquence and intelligence? Demarion smiled and said, âWe inherited the fine genes of daddy and mommy.â âIf you wonât choose, Iâll choose for you.â
Demarion shrugged and said, âI think you should stand on our side.â âIf you had long wanted to help the Chapman family, you would have told the Chapman family that mommy was in Krine, in your hands.â
âBut you didnât, so you must be friends with us.â Luca shook his head helplessly. He glanced at Demarion. âSo, should I show my sincerity to you now?â âNo, itâs your freedom.â Luca was completely convinced. He took a deep breath and got in the car directly. âCome with me.â The engine of the black car started. Demarion excitedly took Lilianaâs hand back to the car and said, âFollow grandpa!â The driver did not dare to neglect, so he started the engine and followed Lucaâs car. âDemarion, why did you ask him to lead the way for us?â Liliana curled her lips. Because of Lucaâs attitude just now, she didnât like him at all. She looked at the scenery outside the window. âWe can watch the surveillance to find the road by ourselves. Isnât it the same?â âItâs not the same.â
In the distance, Braint silently poured himself a glass of water and said in a calm voice, âNo matter how skillful our hacking skill is, we can only get the surveillance of the traffic condition nearby. And in every city, there are some roads that are only known to the locals and no surveillance.â âWith our current state, itâs safer to take the roads without survaillence.â Liliana curled her lips and then shut up. Luca took them along an untraversed path that only locals knew of. Although the trip was bumpy all the way, the Chapman family had never paid attention to it. Soon, the car arrived at the villa they rented in the suburbs. Ethan and the driver pushed Eliza out of the car. Luca got out of the car and looked at Eliza who was tied to the bed with her eyes closed. He sighed deeply. Back then⦠He shouldnât have taught her those skills. What he taught her was the exclusive martial arts of the Chapman family. Back then, Elizaâs biological father loved to research these things, so he found a martial arts master and created some kung fu to protect himself.
Luca was the son of that martial arts master. He and Elizaâs birth father grew up together. He knew his ambitions and his future plans. âIf I have children in the future, whether it is a son or a daughter, I will not let them live in the Chapman family. I donât want them to participate in the feud between rich and powerful families.â âBeing an ordinary person is sometimes a kind of happiness.â For some reason, the words that Elizaâs father previously said appeared in his ears. He stood where he was, watching Eliza being pushed into the villa by Ethan. He was filled with mixed feelings. âMr. Chapman, would you like a cup of tea?â At some point, a gentle and cultivated boy stood in front of him. The little fellow had the same face as Demarion, but his temperament and actions were different from Demarion Needless to say, this must be the other boy from back then. Luca smiled and looked at him. âWhen she regains her memories in the future, will you take her back?â âOf course.â Braint looked ahead indifferently. His voice carried maturity that did not match his age. âMommyâs mind is simple and unsuited in an intrigue family.â
âAndâ¦â He placed his hands behind his back and said, âEven if thereâs intrigue, she doesnât need to do it herself.â âWeâre here.â
