As a saying went, two dogs fight for a bone and a third runs away with it.
Since the bad guys were spying on their yard, they would spy on the bad guys from the shadows as well.
The two boys waited for a long time and almost half the day had gone by with no progress.
Kyle rubbed his stomach which was making noises and said, “I’m hungry. Shall we grab a bite first?”
“Nope! We’ll be discovered very easily if we go back and forth. We need to nail it the first time round.” The serious expression on Kyle’s face made him look so cool.
As such, Juan could only bear with his hunger and continued squatting down beside Kyle.
Fortunately, good things came to those who waited. After ten minutes, two footmen were spotted approaching their courtyard suddenly.
Just when they were about reach the entrance of the courtyard, they put on their masks after ensuring that there was no one else around.
“Damn! The person who splashed water on me the previous time was wearing this mask too. It has to be one of them.”
“We should catch and interrogate them.”
“Let me do it. I haven’t practiced taekwondo for a while. It’s a perfect chance for me to use it again.”
Juan stood up and strode quickly towards those two footmen who were looking around the courtyard suspiciously.
“I’m sure we have managed to scare those kids and they are hiding inside now.”
The other footman agreed with that explanation and had a wretched smile on his face.
“Let’s go in secretly and find a chance to knock that fat girl out and take her away in a rucksack. Then, we’ll do the same to the other little brats when they come out to look for her… “
“Put them in rucksacks and carry them away one by one?”
“Yup, yup.”
After the footmen answered, they suddenly realized that something seemed amiss and the smiles on their faces froze. That sounded like a kid’s voice?
Both of them immediately turned around and saw Juan, who had his arms crossed in front of his chest and was looking at them with a twinkle in his eye.
“F*ck, that scared me!”
“Since this brat had already heard what we said, let’s capture him first!”
“Let me do it!”
After the footman finished speaking, he reached out to catch Juan, but the boy managed to dodge the attack easily by sidestepping.
“Man! This brat is pretty agile. It’s not easy to catch him.”
After that failed attempt, the footman rolled up his sleeves and decided to try again.
Juan snorted and looked at them arrogantly. “C’mon, you’ll have to try harder if you want to catch me!”
“Ha! That brat seems really arrogant. Wait till I catch you and see if you can still behave the same way after that.”
That footman glared at Juan angrily and reached out with both hands, preparing to catch him and put him into the rucksack.
Juan had wanted to use his taekwondo skills to deal with that man, but he thought that it would be too easy on them. He was splashed with a bucket of cold water and his Mommy was even pushed into the lake! How could he let them off so easily?
The boy started running towards the lake while the two footmen chased after him.
Kyle, who was hiding behind the pillar, followed them immediately.
John happened to be passing by and saw Kyle being chased after. Curious as to what was happening, he followed behind as well.
Juan was already panting heavily when he reached the lake and quickly found a place to hide.
When the two footmen reached the lake, they scanned the surroundings but the boy was nowhere to be seen.
“Where did that brat disappear to?”
“I can’t see him anywhere. I didn’t expect that boy to be such a fast runner. He was gone in a blink of an eye!”
After the both of them finished speaking, they spotted Kyle, who was chasing behind.
“There he is!”
As Kyle and Juan looked identical, the two footmen were unable to differentiate between the two boys and thought that it was Juan.
Right after they took two steps forward, they were hit by two rocks thrown from behind which landed heavily on their backs.
“Ouch!”
“Who is it? Can’t you see that there are people here!”
The two footmen immediately stopped in their tracks and turned around while rubbing their backs. However, Juan had already gone back into hiding.
“Who was it who threw the stones?”
The two footmen looked at each other in confusion.
“I don’t know.”
“I’m sure there’s a big bruise on my back. F*ck, it’s so painful.”
“Just a bruise? I bet my back is already swollen. But isn’t this strange? Why would a stone fly out of nowhere?”
Both of them mumbled to themselves and when they turned around, Kyle was already gone.
“That brat has escaped.”
