Chapter 902

Chapter 902 Alone In An Empty Room As soon as these words were spoken, both Storm and lan were taken aback.

They had anticipated that Jean would take action, but they never expected that he would actually deploy the Seven Executioners.

The Seven Executioners, were the renowned seven Grim Reapers in the world of mercenaries.

Nightshade was among them.

At the same time, they were also the seven branch leaders under Jean’s command, each one of them terrifyingly skilled to the point of being frightening.

The seven forces they led were truly terrifying entities, typically not to be trifled with.

lan swallowed nervously. “Sir, wouldn’t it be a bit of overkill to have Nightshade take action?”

Jean didn’t even bat an eyelid upon hearing the words. His expression remained calm and undisturbed as he said, “This is about Neera’s safety, so it’s no small matter. Moreover, the Cox family is one of the Eight Elders of the Bartitsu Guild. The current family head has encountered an assassination attempt, so this is no trivial matter. Because the opponent is certainly not ordinary, it would be best to let Nightshade come over and investigate.

Upon hearing this, lan understood that Jean had already made a decision. Without saying anything further, he indicated his understanding.

Afterward, he and Storm stepped back and decided to act separately.

Jean threw himself back into work.

Two hours later, there was a knock on the door.

This time, the triplets had arrived.

“Are you kids awake?”

The moment he saw them, Jean’s indifferent expression immediately changed, a hint of warmth unconsciously surfacing between his brows.

The triplets obediently nodded and walked over to surround him.

“Daddy, we came because we wanted to tell you something.”

Jean ruffled Penny’s hair as he asked softly, “What’s the matter?”

Sammy said, “Master King wants to take us away for a few days.”

Upon hearing this, Jean was taken aback. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a figure walking in.

He looked up and it was none other than King.

Facing Jean’s puzzled gaze, King said, “The kids rarely come home, so I want to take this opportunity to teach them more about hacking techniques.

After a moment of contemplation, Jean lowered his gaze to look at Harvey and Penny.

After a moment of contemplation, Jean lowered his gaze to look at Harvey and Penny.

“Are you two going as well?”

“Yup!”

The two kids nodded enthusiastically. “Absolutely! Don’t underestimate us! We know quite a lot!

Mommy used to say that having many skills doesn’t weigh you down. Learning more is always beneficial because it provides an additional means of livelihood. So, no matter what happens in the future, we won’t go hungry.”

ро While speaking, Penny even patted her own little belly.

Jean found it somewhat amusing. Although he felt a bit reluctant in his heart, he didn’t stop them since they were willing.

This is perfect! I can also make time to properly manage the matters here while they’re gone.

With that in mind, he looked up at King and said, “I’ll have to trouble you with the children, then.”

King waved his hand. “No need to be so formal with me. After all, I am Sammy’s mentor, and I’ve spent a lot of time with them in the past. You may not know this, but every time Neera is busy, she would leave these three with me. They would stay with me for many days. I haven’t spent quality time with them recently, and I kind of miss those days.”

Jean knew they had a good relationship, so he had no worries and confidently let him take the kids away.

Before long, the triplets quickly packed their bags and followed King as they departed.

No sooner had they left than Jean felt the house had become desolate.

Looking at the empty living room, he sighed softly. His longing for Neera deepened.

In the evening, after spending the whole day reading, Neera returned home, feeling dizzy and bleary-

eyed.

After taking a bath, she laid in bed and had a video call with Jean.

She already knew about King taking the triplets away, so hearing Jean mention it now didn’t surprise her.

“From the sound of your voice, why do I get the feeling that you’re all alone and pitiful?” she asked teasingly.

Jean had already taken a bath, but he wasn’t sleepy, so he simply decided to go to the study to work.

He leaned back, casually resting against the chair’s backrest. His pajama top was slightly open at the collar, giving off a hint of sexiness.

With a half-raised eyebrow, he said leisurely, “Isn’t that the truth? No sooner had we gotten engaged than my fiancée got busy. She has no time for me, her future husband, leaving me to hold down the fort all by myself.”

Neera couldn’t help but feel amused by his statement. Unable to suppress her smile, she said, “How about… I make it up to you when I get back, okay?”

With a profound look in his eyes, Jean leisurely said, “You said it. I’ll remember that.”
