Chapter 382 First never plays by the rules.
Seeing Hugo Hodges rushing around, First immediately called out to him.
“Dad.”
Hugo turned around, looking at First’s innocent face. “What’s up?”
“Are you going to see Scarlett?” First asked, eyes full of hope.
Hugo nodded, “Yes.”
“Why don’t you take us with you?” First suggested.

Hugo squinted, his gaze sweeping over First and Second. They didn’t say much, but their eyes conveyed the same
message.
However, Hugo knew that this trip was unpredictable, filled with potential dangers. That’s precisely why Scarlett Adler left
without a word. If she did that, how could Hugo drag them into this whirlpool?
Even though they were different from other kids, and the Dark Web’s influence was formidable, in Hugo’s eyes, no matter
their identity, they were first and foremost his children. Protecting them was an unspoken agreement between him and
Scarlett Adler.
Hugo Hodges scanned them with his eyes and whispered, “No.”
“Why?” First frowned.
He had thought that once Hugo knew their identities, he would agree to go with them. Clearly, he had been too optimistic.
At that moment, Hugo looked at them, his gaze growing serious. “First, Second, I know you’re worried about Scarlett, but
do you know why she left without a word?”
“Because she’s afraid we’ll find out and try to follow her?” First replied.
“If you understand her reasoning, then you should know it’s the same for me. From Scarlett’s and my perspective, no
matter how big the issue is, your safety is the most important thing. So listen to Scarlett–stay here and wait. I promise I’ll

bring her back safely!” Hugo said.
“We can protect ourselves!” First insisted. “Maybe we can even help.”
Second nodded in agreement. “Yes, and we promise not to cause trouble. We’ll keep ourselves safe.”

Seeing their determination, Hugo frowned. “How can you guarantee that? Even if you’re from the Dark Web and have
protection, Tara Green…”
“Can one person really protect everyone? Besides, you’re just kids. If you fall into the enemy’s hands, Scarlett and I would
be at their mercy. So, listen to me. Stay home and wait for us to come back. I promise, I’ll bring Scarlett back safe and
sound!”
At this point, no matter how much they argued, Hugo wouldn’t agree, and it would only make them seem immature and
waste time.
With this in mind, First dimmed the light in his eyes and looked at Hugo. “Alright, we understand.”
Hugo knew they were smart kids who would grasp the reasoning. Thinking this, a small smile appeared on his face.
“Wait for me to come back!” Hugo said.
First and Second nodded.
Despite the reluctance and questions in his heart, Hugo had to leave.
He turned and looked at Henry, who had been spacing out. “Let’s go.”
Henry snapped back to reality and quickly followed.
They watched as Hugo and Henry got into the car and drove away. The first group of people who had come for the deal
also left.
As the cars disappeared from view, only the three of them remained.
Tara looked at them, “So, what’s next? Any other plans?”

First’s eyes, which had been filled with disappointment, suddenly sharpened with determination. “Of course.”
Tara watched him closely.
“Stick to the original plan,” First said.
“You mean, you’re still going?” Tara asked.
“Absolutely!” First replied.
“But Hugo Hodges practically laid it all out, and you agreed, didn’t you?” Tara questioned.
“He might have laid it out, but I didn’t agree!” First shrugged.
Tara was speechless for a moment.
It seemed he really hadn’t said those words.
Thinking this, Tara looked at him, “You’re really sneaky.”
First then turned to Second, “Second, what do you think?”
Second, a man of few words, simply said, “Let’s go!”
With that, the two of them got into the car.
Tara watched them, wondering what else she could say. Every day felt like dealing with two kids.
As she watched them drive away, Tara glanced back at the place that had become a ruin. Sigh, all that money!
Once in the car, First and Second sat properly, ready for what lay ahead.
As Tara Green got into the car, she picked up her phone and dialed a number. The call connected within seconds.
“Hello, who is this?”
“It’s me,” Tara said in a hauntingly calm voice.

There was a pause on the other end, clearly recognizing Tara’s voice.

“Uh, Ms. Green, did you change your number?”
Tara let out a cold laugh. “I was worried you wouldn’t dare answer my calls, so I used a different network number to reach
you.”
“Ms. Green, you’re joking, right? Why would I… It’s so late, is there something you need?”
