First, Boswell had told Matthew that he wanted to learn about business. Now, Colman was telling him that he wanted to learn about network technology. He couldn't help pondering in his mind, 'Should I be happy that my sons are all geniuses?'
"Dad, can't I?" Colman evoked him. The little boy began to feel slightly disappointed because his dad didn't respond for quite a while.
Matthew shook his head and was about to say it was fine with him.
But Colman misunderstood his gesture and thought that he didn't agree, so he immediately bargained, "If you teach me, I'll tell you Mom's secret."
"Well... what secret?"
Colman sat on his lap and said in a low voice, "When Mom was taking photos in the nursing home, a paralyzed old woman, who was bedridden, wanted to express her gratitude to Mom for saving them. So, she gave Mom a string of bracelet called Divine Bone Sherpa Bracelet. This bracelet has a long history, and it seems to have come from the royal family of K Country. The story was a bit complicated, but it was said that the bracelet could mobilize the royal army of K Country."
'The royal family of K Country?' Matthew repeated in his mind. Colman was narrating the story mysteriously, and he couldn't help raising an eyebrow. "As far as I know, this kind of bracelet is not made from precious materials. I think it's impossible to belong to the royal family. And you said it could mobilize the royal army?" If it weren't for the fact that Colman was still too young to understand many things although he knew quite a lot of words, Matthew would have doubted if the boy had read too many novels to create such a story. Or perhaps the old woman just remembered it wrongly and told a different story to Erica.
If the bracelet was really that powerful, why would the old woman stay in a nursing home and allow the staff to abuse the elderly? It sounded so inconceivable.
Seeing the dubious look on Matthew's face, Colman got a little anxious. "Dad, it's true. When some criminals took us away last time, Mom asked help from the royal army. It was they who found and saved us. Mom has been living in K Country since we were born. Although she has moved to several villages, she never left K Country. It's because the royal army there can protect us as long as she has the bracelet."
Matthew fell silent. He still didn't believe it.
re. For all the men to immediately notice the fire in the kitchen, Erica picked up a few burning sticks and threw them under the door where the men were having a good time.
Soon enough, one of them seemed to have realized that something was wrong. As he craned his head, he saw that the door behind them was already burning.
"Fire!" he shouted. All the men who were eating and drinking stood up in an instant.
Two of them rushed to the door to check. But before they could even put out the fire, they found out that the kitchen was also on fire.
The rest of them ran out to see what was going on.
At this time, Erica had already sneaked inside the room quietly. While everyone's attention was on the burning kitchen, she poured a few drops of the drug on each of the men's glasses.
She initially planned to put the drug directly into the bottle of wine, but since the bottle was sealed, she couldn't open it.
The fire in the kitchen wasn't that big, and it only made the wall a little charred. After splashing a few buckets of water on it, the fire was all put out.
When the group of men returned to the room, Erica quickly found a place to hide.
She waited as the men sat down and continued to drink while talking about how the fire could have started.
Five minutes later, they all fell unconscious one after another.
Some lay on the ground, while some bent over the table. The only one who remained conscious was the man who didn't drink because he was allergic to alcohol. "Guys, wake up! What happened to all of you?" he asked in shock.
