"Vincent is back?"
Mrs. Green's expression also changed.
"Let me go downstairs and talk to him. After all, it's my son who took his son away."
Samuel hated it dearly that he couldn't give Lucas a good beating right now.
But Nicole was also a little worried. There had been a fighting between Samuel and Vincent because of
Joseph yesterday and now the child had run away from home in just one day. How should this be
explained?
They all went downstairs.
Vincent presumably hadn't got much rest all night in that he walked in with bloodshot eyes. He asked
as soon as he saw them.
"Where's Joseph? I'm taking him away."
Mrs. Green was immediately infuriated by his words. Without letting Samuel or Nicole say something,
she snapped.
"You still want to take Joseph away? The child has already run away from home because of your
beating. Who are you going to take away now?"
"What?"
Vincent didn't quite understand.
"What do you mean by 'run away from home'?"
Mrs. Green said angrily, "If you hadn't been so strict with him, how would Joseph run away from home?
What's more, Lucas also left with him. Now neither of the two boys is here. You happy? Satisfied? Are
you feeling particularly well now?"
"Mom, it has nothing to do with Joseph. It's completely..."
"Shut up!"
Before Samuel could finish his words, she stopped him with a reprimand.
Nicole also swallowed her words at the sight of Mrs. Green's exasperation.
Only then did Vincent realize what had happened.
"How should that brat dare to run away from home? I'll break his legs after I find him."
"I'll break your legs first if anything happens to him because of you!"
Mrs. Green was angry this time, or rather, she was at a loss because of the disappearance of the kids,
so she could only vent all her anger on Vincent.
Vincent was stunned for a moment, then he turned around and left.
"Where are you going?"
Mrs. Green couldn't help but ask him.
Vincent replied anxiously, "Where else can I go? Definitely go to look for the kids!"
Currently, he was completely a worried father.
"Right. Look for the kids first!"
Nicole hurriedly went back to her room and changed her clothes. Without washing her face, she directly
went out with Samuel.
The rest people of the Green family also went to look for the kids hurriedly.
But they dared not act conspicuously for fear that the enemies of the Green family would know about
the kids' runaway and would try to harm them.
Whatever had been planned beforehand should be cancelled now because nothing was more
important than looking for Lucas and Joseph.
Nicole even had angina because of immense agitation.
"Don't worry too much. Everything will be fine for Lucas. He is very smart."
Samuel could only console her like this, but he even couldn't calm himself down.
While Nicole and Samuel crisscrossed the city looking for them, Lucas and Joseph had already arrived
at the address written on Lionel's business card by subway.
"Wow, this place looks really good!"
Joseph was greatly impressed by the shooting club in front of him.
Lucas had also thought it a tiny place originally and didn't expect it to have such a big signboard and
such sumptuous decoration.
"What have I said? We will definitely find our own world."
Lucas took Joseph's hand with pride and walked in the club.
At first, no one noticed them. After entering the club, Lucas saw many parents bringing their children to
visit and sign up here, so they followed behind them.
Lucas asked in puzzlement, "Aren't we here to sign up? Why are we following them?"
"A bit of scouting at first. Otherwise, we could get easily tricked."
Joseph instantly felt his words very reasonable.
"Yes, yes, yes. We still have to rely on your cleverness."
So, the two of them followed behind others and learned from their conversations. The guide explained
to the couple in front what facilities were available and even showed them many of the good grades
accomplished by the members here, and in addition, there was the Honor Rankings.
All parents were very satisfied, and so were Lucas and Joseph.
Just as they were about to pay the money together with those parents, a commotion broke out outside.
"What's going on?"
The manager inquired in puzzlement the security guard who had just come inside.
The security guard whispered, "I don't know. It seems to be people from the Green family coming here
for inspection. We didn't dare to ask any more about what they are looking for. The leader is Vincent
Green, the president of the Eternal Group and the younger child of the Green family."
Lucas and Joseph were stupefied on the spot, and swiftly they started wriggling their way through the
crowd, without attracting much attention due to their short bodies.
"What should we do? My daddy is here. If he finds me, I will be beaten to death!"
Joseph was really scared.
Lucas frowned tightly and whispered, "You didn't leave any clues behind, did you?"
"No, absolutely not."
Joseph hurriedly shook his head.
Lucas then whispered, "Then it's weird. If there weren't any clues left behind, why would uncle know to
look for us here? We only came out in the middle of the night and managed to get to this place with
great difficulty. But uncle seems to be heading here directly."
"Then what should we do?"
Joseph now came to his wits' end.
They had run away from home only to avoid Vincent's harsh training. If they were to be captured back
home now, they had yet no idea what they would have to endure.
The moment he thought of this, Joseph felt extremely scared.
Seeing how scared he got, Lucas said to him in a low voice, "Don't be scared. Follow me and let's find
a place to hide first. Everything will be fine as long as uncle doesn't find us."
"But where can we hide?"
"Follow me."
Lucas took Joseph's hand and quickly walked towards the crowded place.
The more people there were, the less attention they would attract.
Like two loaches, Lucas and Joseph hunched their shoulders and weaved their way through the crowd.
Then when they heard the manager respectfully greet to Mr. Vincent, they subconsciously pushed open
the room at hand and directly hid inside.
It must be someone's office in that it was well decorated. But there was not a single fit to hide in.
"What should we do? Will we be caught if we go out now?"
Joseph simply couldn't think now.
Vincent's arrival left him in complete disarray.
Lucas looked around and suddenly caught sight of the air vent.
The air vent was at a very well-hidden place. It was relatively narrow, which was suitable for children
like them to hide in. If they remained silent, they should not be found.
"Quick, hide into the air vent above."
Lucas' words made Joseph slightly stupefied.
"How do we get up? There's no place to climb up here."
"The window. Step on the window, hurry up!"
Lucas directly pushed Joseph to the side of the window.
Joseph could not care about anything else at this time. Thanks to Vincent's training these days, he
quickly climbed up in the air vent.
With some difficulty, he put the lid of the vent to one side, and then signaled Lucas to come up.
Compared to Joseph, Lucas climbed in much faster.
The two little brats quickly hid themselves inside and worked together to close the lid on the air vent.
No sooner had they finished than footsteps were suddenly heard from outside, with the door of the
room opened subsequently.
"Mr. Vincent, well, what brings you here today?"
The manager followed behind Vincent Green obsequiously.
When they saw Vincent Green in person, Lucas and Joseph were almost like petrified.
Goodness!
They were truly out of luck!
They turned out to have hidden in the manager's office!?
However, they saw Vincent directly sit down onto the chair behind the desk, coldly look at the manager
and say, "I have something to ask you to do."
"Yes, yes, yes. Mr. Vincent, just give the orders."
The manager seemed to fear Vincent Green very much in that there was apparent cold sweat on his
forehead.
Vincent then said coldly, "My son, Joseph, ran away from home in the middle of the night yesterday.
Along with him is my elder brother's son, Lucas Bush. This is a photo of them. Mobilize all your people
to look for them and try your best to find them. Remember, keep it low. Don't let others know about
this."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The manager got even more nervous after hearing his orders. His hands kept trembling as he took over
the photo from Vincent.
However, before he could have a look of the photo, Vincent whispered to him, "After finding them,
knock my son out and bring him back. As for this Lucas Bush..."
Lucas and Joseph both froze in the air vent.
A little confused, the manager looked straight at Vincent and asked, "What should I do with Lucas
Bush?"
"Find a place, kill him and throw him into the sea. Remember, don't leave any traces behind."
Lucas simply couldn't believe what he had heard.
What?
His biological uncle wanted to kill him!?
Joseph was also scared out of his wits.
'Is this my daddy?'
'How could this be?'
'Why does Daddy want to kill Lucas?'
He had a glance at Lucas. Seeing that his face was a little ugly, he almost opened his mouth, but Lucas
found it and tightly covered his mouth in time.
Holy Jesus!
They would both be doomed if to let Vincent find out that they were here.
The manager was a bit surprised after hearing such orders.
"What? You can't handle this?"
"No, Mr. Vincent, now the kids of your family have run away from home, so the Green family must be
searching for them everywhere. If our people do this to Lucas Bush, I'm afraid..."
The manager was a little scared.
Vincent sneered, "What is the use of your shooting coaches? What is this club for? As far as I know,
Lucas Bush likes shooting very much. Ask your men to go out and look for him, mainly around shooting
clubs. If you find him, then lure him over in the name of the shooting club. If he enters our club, we'll
have the final say. Of course, the Green family is now arranging people to look for them everywhere.
You'd better avoid direct confrontation with them, especially Samuel Green and Nicole Bush."
"Yes!"
Only then did the manager pick up the photo.
Looking at the two kids who were much alike in the photo, the manager asked, "Which one of them is
your son?"
"This is my son, Joseph Green."
Vincent directly found out a photo of Joseph and handed it to the manager.
"I can't stay here for too long. I must go out and pretend to be looking for the kids with them. It's an
opportunity for us this time. Teach your men to be smart, you hear?"
"Yes!"
The manager hurried to nod at him.
With that, Vincent then left the office.
