Chapter 411 Seen Through By A Child
Chapter 411 Seen Through By A Child
The moment the boy finished speaking, Martin suddenly froze.
Saxon instantly turned to look at Benedict and asked, “What’s wrong?”
He refrained from calling the boy “boss.”
After all, he was considered one of the most powerful figures in the world. If people knew he was so afraid–no, so respectful to a kid, his reputation would be ruined completely.
Benedict was unaware of Saxon’s internal dilemma. His beautiful eyes were fixed on Lola’s pierced wound.
He asked, “What kind of weapon had hurt her?”
Rupert was momentarily stunned by the boy’s question.
He had kept silent, worrying that Raven might hesitate to take action against Hiemaly since the latter was the leader of
Hiemal Court.
He didn’t expect the boy to ask the most critical question right away.
Almost everyone acquainted with Heimaly knew his weapons were serpentine darts.
If he revealed this outright, he had no idea how the president of the Star God Association would choose to respond.
As Rupert was deliberating over his reply, the boy’s gaze, sharp enough to see through everything, fell on him.
He asked, “What? You don’t know?” His crisp voice carried an unnatural coldness that didn’t match his age.
Rupert had spent many years in the royal family and had seen all kinds of people. But under the weight of the boy’s gaze and calm yet oppressive tone, he couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
He took a deep breath and quickly answered, “It was a metal object, shot out suddenly.”
“What kind of shape?” Benedict followed up.
Sweat was starting to form on Rupert’s forehead.
Not wanting Saxon to notice anything unusual, he forced himself to stay calm and replied, “About the length of a finger, slightly curved.”
The boy observed Rupert’s shifting expression. His tender little face showed no emotion.
But what he said next made Rupert’s body tremble again.“The person who attacked her isn’t someone ordinary, is he?”
Rupert’s head shot up abruptly. “How did you-”
Before he could finish, the boy interrupted him, “So, you’re trying to use us to eliminate someone who poses a threat to the Sunset Empire, aren’t you?”
Rupert’s eyes widened in shock.
He instinctively waved his hands in denial, his voice trembling. “No, no! I would never dare to have such an idea!”
Benedict’s gaze sharpened, and a faint, knowing smile tugged at his lips. “Oh, really? If that’s the case, why did you lie about the weapon being only the length of a finger? And why haven’t you told us who the attacker is?”
By the time the boy finished speaking, sweat was already trickling down Rupert’s face.
He looked at the boy with uncontainable fear.
In that instant, he was certain the feeling he had earlier wasn’t an illusion. The boy had really seen through him.
He couldn’t believe a child around the age of five was able to do that.
“Can you answer my question?” Benedict acted like he hadn’t noticed Rupert’s growing panic. His voice remained calm and
clear.
But in Rupert’s ears, it was nothing less than a deathly summons.
He didn’t know how the boy had figured out that the one who hurt Lola wasn’t someone he could afford to
oss, but he knew that telling the truth would mean admitting that he was trying to use the president of the Star God Association.
Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to meet the boy’s gaze and replied, “The attacker was too fast. I couldn’t see the weapon’s length, and I truly don’t know who it was”
At that moment, not only Benedict, but even Si Successfully unlocked!

Saxon quickly asked the boy, “Little bo–ahem, do you know who did it?” Benedict tilted his head slightly, his gaze shifted to Saxon.
What he said next left the entire room frozen in shock, including Rupert.
