"Go, search!"
Suddenly, a team of men in suits rushed in and started searching the area.
Josh swiveled his head and stared at the restroom. Could it be related to that man?
He was in a daze when the man in black rushed out from the restroom and extended a bloodied hand. Then, he slipped something into Josh's pocket and whispered in the boy's ear, "Brat, I'll come back for it!"
Soon, the man disappeared into the stairwell. The team of men in suits immediately went after him.
Josh was stunned. Wow, was that a scene from a crime film? That was so cool!
Snapping back to reality, he took out a small box from his pocket. When he opened it, there was a tiny golden chip about the size of a bean.
Studying it carefully, he wondered, what could this be? It doesn't look like gold. I think it's some electronic stuff like the kind Randy is obsessed with.
"Seed! Seed!"
Josh was deep in thought when little Faymo's beak parted and ate the chip, thinking it was a seed.
Josh was dumbfounded. He immediately patted Faymo's green head and shouted, "Faymo, spit it out! Spit it out!"
Faymo shrieked immediately. Instead of spitting it out, it swallowed the chip out of shock.
"Ah!" Josh freaked out at once. He tugged Faymo's tail and swung it around. "You can't eat that. Spit it out! Spit it out, now!"
Faymo was seeing stars from Josh's rough action. It rolled its eyes while its tongue lolled out weakly.
"Ah! Josh! What are you doing?" yelled Venus.
She rushed over and took Faymo from him. Cradling it in her arms carefully, she demanded, "Why did you bully Faymo? I'm going to tell Mommy!"
"No, Venus—"
"Josh, it's wrong to bully Faymo, " said Randy sternly.
"I… Faymo…" Josh pointed at himself before pointing at Faymo helplessly.
Faymo's head was spinning as it lay in Venus's arms, panting heavily.
Looks like none of them will believe me. Josh had no choice but to keep it a secret.
Zain was sitting with his back against the door of the VIP room he was in, sipping on his wine elegantly in the Italian restaurant. His figure was imposing under the dim light.
Benard rushed in to inform him. "Mr. Giblo, Solimo has escaped!"
The man's hand paused briefly as he icily uttered, "Useless!"
"Yes, " said Benard, lowering his head guiltily.
"Chip X holds the secret to our corporation's latest technology. If it gets leaked, the consequences will be horrible. We must get it back!"
"Yes, " Benard answered. "I'll find Solimo within three days!"
Zain stood up to leave, his majestic figure stunning everyone. A heavy silence hung in the air as all held their breaths.
When he and his entourage arrived at the underground car park, he got into his Rolls-Rolice Phantom without a word. The driver was about to drive away when Zain called out, "Wait!"
The driver hit the brakes immediately.
Benard followed Zain's gaze, spotting a little girl running past the rear of their car. She was nearly knocked over earlier. He immediately alighted the car.
"Girl, why are you alone here?"
"My Faymo flew downstairs. I'm going after it. Faymo! Don't run! Stop!"
Venus was about to pounce on the bird, but it flew into the car instead.
She crawled into the car at once. Looking up, she was shocked to see a pair of cold eyes staring at her.
He seems scary.
Is he the bad guy Mommy always talks about?
Venus gazed at Zain in fear and instinctively inched backward.
Zain was also gazing at the little girl, his heart softening. His stare was no longer as stony as it always was.
