Chapter 424
This was cuz he still got the shivers when he thought back to the scene of that guy charging at Will. He was just a tad ticked off that mean old Dad had spanked him.
If we can’t take down the enemy in one shot, we shouldn’t go on the offensive. Otherwise, we’re giving the enemy a chance to strike back. Theo thought for less than two seconds before flopping down and muttering, “We’re still not tough enough. If I was 6.5 feet tall and ripped as hell, how could some measly spy be a match for me?”
Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been any need to use such a roundabout way to nab the spy. He was just a tad ticked off that mean old Dad had spanked him.
When Byron heard his last comment, he scoffed. “Looks like you still don’t get what you did wrong. So what if the trade secrets got swiped? It’s just stuff. But have you ever thought about what would happen to your mom if anything happened to you?”
The two little ones fell silent at the same time. It would be very sad. Her mother was so fragile and needed their protection. How could they make her cry?
Will turned around and looked at Byron with watery eyes. “Dad, I’m sorry. I know I messed up. I won’t be so reckless next time.”
Theo sniffed. “I know I was wrong.”
Byron’s expression eased up a bit. As he straightened out their rumpled clothes, he said sincerely, “Dad knows you two are pretty sharp, but smart cookies have to know how to play it cool and bide their time till they’re fully grown.”
He continued, “Sometimes, if you wanna get something done, you don’t have to do it all by yourself. That’s the dumbest way. It’s usually way easier to get twice the bang for your buck by leveraging other people’s strength.”
The two little ones nodded as if they understood. Byron wasn’t worried that they didn’t understand.
They were just kids, but their thinking and skills were more developed than most kids. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have teamed up so well on this deal. Maybe it was luck, but luck’s part of what makes you strong too.
After fixing up their clothes, Byron peeked at Will’s bulging pocket and said to him, “Hand over the gun.”
Will obediently handed it over.
You know what your biggest mistake was today?
Will hesitated for a moment. “I shouldn’t be shooting at others?” Back then, things were dicey. He only thought he couldn’t get caught and that the place was okay for shooting. He didn’t think about anything else.
Byron eyed Will’s red palm and said in a calm tone, “Wrong. When someone’s threatening your life, you shouldn’t just fire a shot to spook them. Instead, you should make sure they actually get hurt.”
This time, you got lucky and scared ‘em off. But if the guy you run into isn’t scared of you, things’ll go south real quick. Being soft on the enemy is being mean to yourself. Next time something like this goes down, you’re better off making the other guy bleed than going easy on them, got it?
Will understood, but he was still a little hesitant.
Theo pouted and shot back, “If Will offed that guy, Mommy’d lose her cute little baby!”
Byron snorted. “Who said anything about killing? There are plenty of ways to take someone out of commission right away. We don’t have to take their life. You don’t even get this basic logic. You two need to write a 500–word self–reflection paper and turn it in. Think about it.”

The two little ones faces immediately fell. Theo wrinkled his nose. His grape–sized eyes were full of spite. “Didn’t we already get our butts spanked?” The self–reflection letter was such a terrifying thing! He definitely did not want to write it!
