Flossie squatted down to Abby’s level and asked gently, “Are you scared, Abby? If you’re scared, you can stay at the campsite and wait for me.
I can do this on my own too.” Flossie was more gentle with Abby than Adie.
Adie was tough and could go around without Flossie worrying about him, but Abby was different —she was a soft and adorable little princess who needed others to protect her.
“Mommy, I’m not scared.
Trust me I’m as awesome as Adie!” While talking, Abby raised her hand and said proudly, “See? I’ve got muscles! I can fight the monsters guarding the treasures!” Her face looked cute, flushed from the sun.
“Haha! Good, then you can come with me.” Flossie’s heart softened, and she hugged and kissed Abby.
Once they were ready, she set off for the mountains with Abby.
There were other families heading there too.
At first, the children were excited, but halfway through the hike, they cried and complained that they were tired.
Abby was the only one who gritted her teeth and followed Flossie, determined to find the treasure.
“Come on, Abby! The cave is only a few hundred meters away!” Flossie was a little tired, but she took a deep breath and cheered Abby on energetically.
Abby picked some flowers by the road and mumbled vaguely, Com Mammy, it would be great if Daddy was here.
We would find the treasures faster if he was here.” “It’s okay, we can stilh find the treasures without him.” “Mm, I want to pick some flowers to make garlands-one for you and one for Daddy.
He must be sad that he can’t be here.” Abby was. conflict between the adults, and just betweenaware wanted to bring back something nice for Halston.
Flossie just sighed helplessly.
Meanwhile, Adie had quickly caught a lot of fish because he was experienced in fishing.
The other families of three or four could not defeat him even though they worked together.
Some of his classmates admired him while some were secretly jealous of him.
The waves came one after the other, and Adie had no idea that a hidden danger was slowly approaching…
A plump boy kept jumping on the beach, trying to catch some fish but failing to get any. “This isn’t fun at all!” The plump boy named Tubby grabbed the fishing tools and threw them onto the sand angrily. He grabbed his father’s hand and wailed. “Why can’t our family catch any fish? What are you both doing? If this goes on, we won’t have any dinner. We might even be in last place! Hurry up and think of something!”
“What can we do, son? We’re not professional fishermen, so it’s only normal that we can’t catch any fish. Maybe there aren’t any fish here either. Don’t worry, we can get food from others later.” Glenn Bardot, Tubby’s father, was rather laidback about the whole thing.
However, Camila Bardot, Tubby’s mother, became restless. She pinched Glenn. “How can you say that? The minute something becomes tough, you immediately give up! No wonder our boy is always lagging.” Camila looked around and was surprised to se Adie catching a lot offish nearby. Camila said to Tubby, “Look at that boy-he caught so many fish! Why can’t you catch fish like him?”
“What’s the big deal? I just wasn’t being serious. If I am, I’ll catch more fish than him.” Tubby was always greatly jealous of Adie, and his envy only grew when his mother compared him to Adie.
While everyone was busy catching fish, Tubby ran to Adie and pointed at him. “Adie, are you catching fish alone? Where are your parents?”
Adie was quietly waiting for an eel to leave its burrow. He looked up at Tubby with a glare, then whispered, “Speak softer. Don’t scare away my eel.”
At that moment, Tubby noticed the eel slipping out of the stones. His eyes brightened and he quickly grabbed it. “It’s mine! I got i first.”
Adie was not a boy who admitted defeat easily. He had been waiting for the eel to come out for such a long time because he had wanted to grill it for his mother and sister that night. He couldn’t accept that Tubby had beaten him to it. “What do you mean it’s yours? It’s mine.” Adie acted tough and said rationally, “I’ve been waiting here for around ten minutes and placed so much salt here to lure the eel out. Technically speaking, I caught it!” Then, he tried to snatch the eel away from Tubby.
When Camila saw the two boys, she hurriedly rushed over and yelled at Adie fiercely, “Whose ill-mannered child is this? How could you snatch others’things?”
“I’m not. I lured this eel out, so it should belong to me.” Adie facen Camila calmly as he spoke, not letting the eel go.
“I saw you snatching my son’s eel. You’re rude and you’re a liar! Where are your parents? Let gg!” Camila had long noticed that Adie’s parents weren’t around, and so she became even bolder. She felt it was easy for her to handle this kid without any adults around.
“Mommy, he has a mother but no father. That’s why he’s so rude!”m Tubby yelled eagerly, finally brave enough to bully Adie since his parents were here.
What did you say? Say that again, I dare you.” Adie sneered coldly.
“I said you’re ill-mannered!” Camila snapped haughtily. “I was wondering why you’re so fierce and rude, but now it makes sense. Hmph, isn’t there a rule in Monte Perry that they won’t accept kids from single-parent families? How did you manage to get in? You’re tarnishing the image of the kindergarten and its students!” Tubby was a transfer student, so Camila didn’t know about the uproar that happened when Adie and Abby tried to register there. Besides, Flossie always kept a low profile and purposely hid the background of the two children, so Camila didn’t know who Adie’s parents were. She assumed that Adie’s parents came from new money, since the truly rich families would not easily get a divorce for their image’s sake.
At first, Adie did not want to lower himself to Tubby and Camila’s level, he just wanted to take his eel and leave, but he couldn’t let go of the things they said. It wasn’t like him to let something like this go. Hence, he put the fishing tools on the ground, stood on a large rock and stared straight into Camila’s eyes with a sneer. “I won’t tell you about my parents, but I’m sure you must be an orphan. If you had parents to raise you properly, you wouldn’t be this rude to a child!”
“How dare you…” Camila’s face grew red, not expecting such a response from a child.
“Madam, if you’re this ill-mannered and rude, I’m sure the boy you raised is even worse. He is the one tarnishing the image of the kindergarten,” Adie said calmly, feeling better after saying those words. “I did grow up with only my mommy around, but she taught me love and kindness. She even taught me how to do a lot of things. Even though I’m from a single-parent family, I feel like I’m more well-rounded than your child, who grew up with both his parents around. Your family is mentally ill, and I’m so much happier than all of you. You all are the pitiful ones in this situation!” Adie clapped his hands in satisfaction, about to get down from the rock to continue fishing.
“You’re annoying! How could you say that about my mommy? I’m going to beat you up!” Since his parents were around, Tubby felt confident they would back him up, and lunged at Adie to beat him up. Adie, however, dodged Tubby’s attack, and Tubby slipped and hit his head on the rock. Blood poured down the side of his head. “Mommy, it hurts so bad! Mommy!” Tubby cried loudly.
“Oh, son! My poor son!” Camila rushed over to help Tubby up. When she saw her son’s bloody face, she lost her mind and threw herself at Adie.” How dare you beat my son up! I won’t let you go!”
Adie easily dodged Camila’s hits, and asked helplessly. Are you blind?
Your son fell on his own. It had om nothing to do with me. The content is om !
It seemed that both Tubby and Camila were no match for Adie, but at that moment, a sturdy man walked over angrily…
The sturdy man was none other than Glenn, Tubby’s father.
“Daddy, Daddy!” Tubby cried and ran to Glenn. He pointed at Adie and sobbed, “This boy bullied Mommy and me. He beat US up… You have to help us!”
Adie couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re not only useless, you’re a coward too! Unfortunately, even if you bring your parents here, you can’t win against me. ” Even though he was young, he took after his mother. He had great IT skills and was good at fighting; even if he couldn’t fight against professionals, he was confident he could take on Tubby and his family.
Glenn was a sturdy and plump man, and spoiled his son terribly. He couldn’t handle seeing this little boy bullying his wife and son. Enraged and humiliated, he grabbed Adie and roared, “Did you bully my son? Say sorry to him now, or I’ll teach you a lesson you won’t forget!”
Adie looked up at the giant man calmly. “Firstly, I didn’t bully your son. Your son is crazy-he insisted on provoking me, then fell or his own. Secondly, I would like to see what you’re going to do.”
“You’ve got some nerve, boy! How dare you challenge me?” Glenn clenched his fists and said coldly, “I can still hit you even if you’re a kid. If you ignore my advice, I’ll just let my fists do the talking.”
“You’re going to let your fists do the talking?” Adie sneered and said, “Are you going to beat me up, sir? A big man like you is going to beat up a boy? What a hero… Come and watch, ladies and gentlemen-this great man is trying to beat up kids!” Adie yelled, attracting the attention of the children and parents who were fishing nearby. Quickly, they all came over.
Glenn’s face turned red in indignation, and he really wanted to beat Adie up. “You’re really good at talking, kid! I’ll teach you a lesson on your parents’ behalf. I’m sure they’ll thank me!” Glenn rolled his sleeves up, puffing his chest out.
Instantly, the onlooking parents started to talk.
“What’s wrong with that man? It isn’t a big deal. Why is he yelling at that boy?”
“If I’m not mistaken, that boy seems to be… Master Guajardo’s son. That man’s got some guys to try to beat up Master Guajardo’s son.”
“What are you talking about? I heard that Master Guajardo was probably dead. He hasn’t been seen in ages, and Jovan Guajardo has seized almost all of the family’s assets!”
“Yeah, that’s right. If he was alive, he’d be here for his kids graduation.”
“So, this kid doesn’t have a father then… How pitiful!”
Glenn, however, didn’t seem to have heard them. Infuriated he gripped
Adie’s dollar and lifted him…
However, Adie was not frightened. His mother had taught him how to escape from such a hold. Using a tactic called Horseyre, he forcefully kicked Glenn’s head with the tip of his foot, then flipped over and landed on his feet steadily.
