XG 49 - As a gift for discovering me

"Kiat!" The pale-faced Miu wanted to go over to her son but was stopped by one of Charles Wong's underlings. The grip on her shoulder was heavy, where a weak woman like her could not budge.

"Not even one day. I've overestimated your patience," Charles Wong said.

"Mr. Wong, what do you want to do with my son?!" Miu cried out anxiously. "You said you would take care of my son if I agreed to work for you!"

"That is on the premise that he is still your son."

"Mr. Wong, what are you trying to do?!" Miu wailed and scratched the hands that restrained her. Being scratched, they wanted to slap the senseless woman but they still remember she was still useful to their boss so they just restrained her hands.

"Hey, auntie." Hong Yan tapped his baseball bat lightly on his shoulder. "We are just helping you to avoid recognizing your wrong son, ah. No wonder you did not notice, with how out of the mind you are almost all the time."

Lan Yan removed the string around Kiat's neck and reused the string to tie his hands behind him, as well as another string around his leg. Wong Xue Guo was stuck in the middle of shock and awkwardness when she saw where the blue-haired lady had produced the second string.

It was from her clothing, which has several strings inserted into the small holes in a zigzag pattern at her side fashionably. This lady's clothing choice was a stylish yet deadly type, dressed in a way where she could use her accessories as weapons too.

Even her glossy high-heeled boots have strings too.

Kiat laughed, not bothering playing around anymore. "How did you know?" He raised his head high, staring straight at Charles dauntlessly. "And when? I'm pretty confident with my acting skill... until I no longer want to play."

Miu's squirming action finally came to a halt when she saw her son's reaction. Her pupil shook at the strangeness of her son, her mind buzzed with frightening confusion, unable to think clearly about what was happening.

Charles Wong answered, "When you point your gun."

"What?" Kiat laughed in disbelief. "What's wrong with pointing my gun at you? Do you think this kid had not held a gun before? With his lowly history?"

"The kid named Kiat would not hold the gun as if he's familiar with its weight and how to use it properly."

'Kiat's acting was already exposed the moment he held the gun and pointed it at Charles Wong. A kid like Kiat would not be at ease and possessing familiarity in handling a gun that only reached his hands a few days ago.

"You have checked this family before you approach," Kiat accused with a sneer.

One of Charles's underlings, a thin man with crooked fingers, reported, "In the past week, only a person unknown to everyone in this island approached Kiat and Miu. That man, with a gun, tried to assassinate Miu, only to die from an accident while fighting with Kiat. The doctor's report said the man died from the fall that hit the back of his neck, snapping his spine... but that's rather strange. How could a kid be able to push an adult man, whose body size was more than double than the kid's?"

The man with crooked fingers eyed Kiat as if he was a strange being. "Also, Kiat should have died from the fall too. How can a person with internal bleeding in his head still be able to move normally?"
