With a gun pointed at her, Tara Green remained silent, her gaze fearless. Her lips even curled into a teasing smile.
She stared at Hugo, her eyes sharpening. “Hugo, do you really think you can kill me?”
“What do you think?” Hugo replied, his gun still aimed at her, his dark eyes seemingly covered with a layer of frost.
“Go ahead, give it a try,” Tara challenged, her eyes locked onto his.
Hugo watched her, his finger slowly pulling the trigger. Just as he was about to fire, a voice suddenly sounded from
behind him.
“Daddy.”
Both Hugo and Tara turned to see First and Second standing there, causing Tara to furrow her brow.
“What are you doing out here?” Tara asked them.
“If we didn’t come out, were we supposed to just watch you fight?” First replied, his gaze shifting to Hugo, eyes
unreadable. “Besides, isn’t this what Daddy wanted? To force us out? Am I right, Daddy?” First asked, looking at Hugo.
Hugo just watched them, his dark eyes filled with an indescribable complexity.
He was surprised, but when he saw them, he remained remarkably calm, as if he had anticipated this all along.
Then, Second spoke up, “Dad, this has nothing to do with Tara. It was our idea. If you have any issues, take them up with
us.”
Seeing their loyalty, Hugo narrowed his eyes. “Do you even know who Tara is and what she’s involved in?”
“Dad, since you have your suspicions, you should know that the people from that night were us!” First declared.
Hugo stared at them, momentarily stunned.
“We know who Tara is because… we’re just like her,” Second said deliberately.

Hugo’s eyes suddenly narrowed. “You two joined the Dark Web?”

“Yes!” Second nodded. Since they had decided to reveal themselves, there was no point in hiding anymore.
At this point, Hugo turned to Tara. “Was it you?”
Tara, naturally rebellious, wasn’t involved, but in front of Hugo, if it meant irritating him, she would admit to it, even if it was
risky.
“Yes!”
“You dared to target two kids!” Hugo was furious, raising his gun at Tara again.
At that moment, First stepped forward, standing protectively in front of Tara. “Dad, this has nothing to do with her!”
Hugo was still filled with rage. “First, move aside.”
First shook his head. “No way!”
Hugo stared at him, his brow furrowed.
Then, Second joined his brother, also standing in front of Tara, looking at Hugo with the same determined gaze.
Tara looked at the two little ones standing before her. Honestly, she was touched. Even though she knew Hugo wouldn’t
harm them, their willingness to stand up for her against him filled her with indescribable feelings. All her efforts hadn’t
been in vain.
She glanced up at Hugo’s stormy face, feeling a sense of satisfaction. Then she stepped forward, gently moving the two
aside. “Alright, this is grown–up stuff. You kids shouldn’t get involved!” She said, looking at…
She spoke up, “Hugo, I did it. I’ll take responsibility for my actions. I don’t want to damage your relationship with your son,
so whatever you decide, I’m ready to face it.”
“First!” He turned to look at her.
“Shut up!” Tara commanded softly, her gaze fixed on Hugo.

Hugo looked at them, his hand gripping the gun, revealing a strong, powerful arm like a poised leopard, demanding
respect.
“What if I want your life?” Hugo asked.
“You probably can’t take it,” Tara replied.
A cold smile crept onto Hugo’s lips.
The standoff continued.
Just then, Second walked straight over to Hugo, grabbing his shirt. “Dad, you once said you’d agree to any request I made.
Well, I’m asking you to let Tara go. You can’t have any conflict with her!”
Hugo looked down at Second, his eyes dark and deep. “Why?”
“Because if anything happens to any of you, it would be a hurdle my brother and I could never get past!” Second said.
Hugo studied him. “If something happens to me, would it affect you too?”
“You’re our dad. We won’t let anything happen to you, and Tara won’t harm you!” Second assured him.
“Are you sure about that?”
“Absolutely!”
Hugo glanced up, looking at First and then at Tara.
After a moment, Hugo lowered his gun. “Alright, I’ll trust you on this.”
Second was taken aback, staring at him in disbelief. “Really?”
He turned to look at First, who was also surprised.
“Dad, are you serious?” Second asked.
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Hugo replied.

Second smiled, this time genuinely, as if their shared bloodline had triggered a chain reaction. He found himself liking Hugo more and more. “Thanks, Dad,” he said.
Hugo suddenly reached out and ruffled Second’s hair.
Second smiled, but as he watched Hugo put away the gun, his brows furrowed slightly.
“But you two need to give me an explanation!” Hugo Hodges demanded.
Second knew there was no escaping this. He nodded, “Alright, we’ll explain in a bit.”
Turning around, Second walked over to First and gave him a look. First squinted his eyes in response. As Second reached
him, he lowered his voice, “We’ve been tricked.”
