Chapter 216
Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem ( Elysia and Tarquin)
The man, cloaked in a long coat, slowly lifted his arm and pointed towards the brothersâ side. âKill!
Kill!K!â
The brothers quickly looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a person lying not too far away.
This person seemed to be unconscious, not reacting at all.
And, coincidentally, the spot where this person lay was exactly where Elliot was about to retrieve something!
The item he needed was right underneath that person!
Elliot, furrowing his brow and mustering his courage, walked over. Pretending to check on the person, he slickly grabbed the item into his palm.
The masked figure said nothing, just watched him move the body lying on the ground and chuckled sinisterly.
âSheâs just passed out,â Elliot returned to Evanâs side.
There were no streetlights around, and it was quite dark, Elliot couldnât see her face clearly but could tell it was a woman.
âKill! Kill! Kill!â the masked figure murmured, suddenly pulling out a tablet to show them a video.
It was a video of Elysia narrowly escaping being hit by a car!
Elliot and Evanâs breaths synced, their expressions changing instantly.
âSheâs the murderer! Kill! Kill! Kill!â
âWhatâs going on? Is it Mommy? But didnât Blossom say Mommy went to a party with her?â Evan was panicking.
âCalm down!â Elliot tried to stabilize his emotions and quickly checked his smartwatch.
He swiftly found out the whole story about Allegra trying to run Elysia over with a car.
IF âThatâs Allegra?â
The masked figure nodded. âKill her! For revenge! Revenge!â
Evan gritted his teeth. âShe tried to kill Mom?â
Elliot tapped a few more times on his smartwatch and then said, âMomâs okay, donât worry.â
Evan, fists clenched, rushed towards Allegra, but Elliot pulled him back.
âWhat are you doing?â
âShe dared to try and kill Mom! Iâll beat her to death!â
âDonât be rash!â
Elliot scolded, looking up at the masked figure.
With the mask on, Elliot couldnât see his expression.
After pondering for a few seconds, in front of the masked figure, Elliot picked up his smartwatch and dialed the police with a burner number.
The masked figure tilted his head, seemingly puzzled by his action.
Only when the sound of police sirens was heard did the masked figure turn and run, quickly disappearing from their sight.
Elliot, frowning at the direction he left, dragged Evan and hid behind some bushes.
Seeing the police arrive, he then quietly left with Evan.
As soon as they left the park, Evan asked anxiously, âElliot! What the heck is going on?â
âIâm not entirely sure myself, but I know Mom is safe now. Letâs head home! We wonât tell Emmett and Mom about tonight. It would scare them.â
âArenât we going to Mom now?â
âBlossom is with Mom. Letâs get home and figure out tonightâs events first! I need to find out who that masked man is!â
Placing Allegra on top of that item didnât seem like a mere coincidence; it felt more like he knew about the deal between him and Gideon!
Yet, he didnât take the item, which was odd.
which w That item was extremely precious; anyone who saw it would want it!
Could it be that the masked man didnât know about the deal, and placing Allegra there was just a coincidence?
09:41 But then-
The masked man mustâve known that he and Evan were no ordinary kids, especially since he was coaxing them into committing murder tonight!
Who would lead two kids to murder?
So, the masked man must have been aware of their abilities!
But, he and Evan had always kept them well hidden. Except for their benefactor in the mountains, no one knew of their capabilities.
Who was he then?
Elliot felt this person was dangerous! He was unsettled and needed to find this masked man quickly!
