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.”

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?”
