“This is preposterous” growled Henry angrily. “There are dozens of options for pets, and those people chose to keep eagles? Can they even control it?”
“I know, right?” complained Spencer, who thought that it was crossing a line as well. He said, “I’ll inform Mr. Zachary right away. He will deal with the matter accordingly.”
“Robbie, take a closer look. Can you tell who’s living in that villa?”
Henry wanted to find out if the Lindberg family was staying there.
“Just a bunch of ladies…”
Robbie checked his screen again. That was when he realized that someone was staring right into the camera installed in his mechanical dove.
Panic surged within him. He quickly turned the mechanical dove around, but it was too late.
Bang! A shot was fired from a gun, and Robbie’s screen turned into nothing but static and white noise.
“My dove!”
Robbie was so angry that he jumped to his feet. His tiny fists clenched while fury donned his face.
“What’s wrong?” asked Henry.
“Someone shot my mechanical dove,” answered Robbie. He was beyond agitated when he growled, “That is too mean!”
“Such insolence!” said Henry while frowning. “How dare they destroy my great-grandson’s invention!”
Henry turned to Spencer and ordered, “Send someone over immediately to teach them a lesson!”
“Understood,” replied Spencer. He picked up the phone to send his men to do the job. He even specified, “Tell them that the monster they keep as a pet has frightened our kids and our pet. Also, they damaged our kid’s invention, and their owner must apologize in person for it.”
After hanging up, Spencer turned to Henry and asked, “Will this do?”
“What do you think?” asked Henry as he shifted his attention to Robbie. Henry saw this as a chance to get closer to Robbie, and the former was adamant about helping his great-grandson who had been bullied.
“This will do for now,” said Robbie while frowning. He was furious, but he was still a reasonable person. He pointed out, “I spied on them with my mechanical dove, so I was at fault, too. It’s just that they didn’t need to shoot it. They could’ve spoken to us about it first.”
“You are right,” commended Spencer while nodding.
“Also, it is illegal for them to keep an eagle as a pet in this country,” complained Robbie angrily. “Its screech scared Fifi today. What if they accidentally meet in the sky? That eagle would’ve eaten Fifi.”
“Scared! Scared!” called out Fifi. It quickly dove into Ellie’s arms. It was so scared that it was trembling all over as if an eagle was actually there to eat it.
“That’s right!” protested Jamie with his fists clenched as well. He huffed, “I am a good fighter, but I’ve never fought an eagle before.”
As for Ellie, she got so scared that she cried.
“Don’t be scared, Ellie. I will protect you,” promised Jamis as he stroked her tiny head.
“Robbie’s right,” commented Henry while nodding, “Don’t worry. I will deal with this matter and keep everyone safe.”
“Thank you, Great-grandpa.”
Ellie and Jamie flew into Henry’s arms to thank him.
“Thank you, Great-grandpa!”
Robbie thanked Henry as well. The two of them had been distant in the past, but they finally managed to turn things for the better.
“I should call and inform Mr. Zachary about this.”
Spencer felt uneasy, so he walked to the side to call Zachary.
The call was connected soon after. “Mr. Spencer,” greeted Zachary.
“Mr. Zachary, you’ve heard about how I called Bruce to deal with the residents in Northridge, right?”
“Yes, I will deal with it accordingly.”
“They shot and destroyed the mechanical dove that Mr. Robbie invented, and he is furious. Mr. Nacht plans to deal with it in person to placate Mr. Robbie…”
“No, don’t!” shouted Zachary quickly.
“Huh?”
“This is just a minor matter, so I can deal with it. Why would Grandpa go in person?” said Zachary as he thought of an excuse and added, “He’s too old to run around and getting into fights for the kids’ matters. It’s so embarrassing.”
“I think so too,” replied Spencer softly before he added, “But I can’t stop him.”
