“It’s going to be fine. You don’t need to worry about the affairs between Mommy and Daddy. I’ll hire a teacher to give you some classes tomorrow, so you can catch up when we get home. Also, remember to practice your respective skills and talents, got it?”
“Okay, Daddy.”
“Okay, Daddy.”
The quadruplets had no choice but to leave the study room. They stared at one another and concluded that their parents’ matters were too complicated. It’s probably better for us to monitor from a distance and help accordingly.
Besides, Sheila and Davin are here to help as well, I’m sure Daddy and Mommy will be able to get back together.
When the kids walked past the courtyard, they saw the Hidden Masters and John arguing.
Maya and Nina weren’t interested in what the adults were arguing about, so they simply held hands and walked away in tiny steps. Juan and Kyle, however, was intrigued.
When they found out that the men were fighting about the potential location of a treasure. Juan’s and Kyle’s eyes gleamed with excitement and they asked about it immediately.
“Treasure? What treasure are you talking about, Mr. John?”
John turned to Juan and answered, “It’s something extremely valuable. It’s the kind of treasure that no one has ever seen before.”
“What kind of valuable treasure are you talking about?” urged Kyle, whose interest was piqued as well.
“We don’t know yet. We’ll have to find it first,” replied John. These kids are ridiculously intelligent, agile, and can come up with good suggestions that often made things easier. It’d be easier for us to find the treasure with their help.
John then added, “Will you boys hunt the treasure with us? We’ve found a few possible locations where the treasure could be, and we’ll know what the treasure is once we find it.”
The two mischievous kids turned to one another. Juan, who was naughtier than his brother, blinked his big, round eyes before asking, “Do we get something out of it if we help?”
John deliberated before nodding. “Of course. Mr. Seet sent us to hunt for the treasure. I’m sure he will reward you once it is found.”
Kyle shifted his cool gaze to John. The former refuted calmly, “Daddy asked you to look for the treasure, and we’d be helping you with your task. You should be the one rewarding us instead.”
Kyle’s words got the Hidden Masters and John looking at each other. They weren’t expecting the child’s logical thinking to be that developed. Still, his words made sense.
Jeremy chuckled and cooed, “Well, that’s not exactly right. You’re helping us out, but we’re working for Mr. Seet. At the end of the day, we’re all just doing this for your Daddy, so…”
“Exactly, and that is why you boys should turn to your father when asking for a reward,” said Jensen.
Kyle shot a look at the men and argued, “So what if you’re doing this for Daddy? Does my Daddy not pay you a salary for your work? Do you not already get something out of this? Are you doing this for free?”
His questions got the men stumped.
Darius and Damien turned to one another for a whole second before they shook their head and replied, “N-No.”
“No.”
Jeremy and Jensen, on the other hand, simply cleared their throats and looked away without saying another word.
John shifted his gaze to the men and sighed internally. The kid got all four adults to shut up… Gosh, that is really something.
“You’ll have to reward us if you want our help. If you don’t want to offer anything, then we can forget all about it.”
John thought about how they had virtually zero progress in the past few days and how they spent most of their time arguing with one another. That got John to clenched his teeth and said, “Okay, we’ll reward you both. What do you want?”
The icy look that Kyle had on his tiny face turned warm as a smirk crept up. “We want you to help us with something.”
“And what might that be?”
“You’ll know soon enough.”
He’s not planning on pulling some pranks, is he? Worry donned John’s face.
The Hidden Masters, however, agreed to those terms without hesitating.
“Sure. We can’t afford any rewards you’d like, but we can certainly help. Just tell us what you need us to do.”
“That’s right. We’ll definitely help.”
John didn’t even know what to say.
He was secretly worried when he saw the Hidden Masters being so confident.
Those idiots have no idea what these kids are capable of. I just hope that whatever Kyle is asking for is within our capabilities.
With that, Juan and Kyle officially joined the treasure hunt. The kids started examining the blueprints and discussing the matter with the men.
