Chapter 178: Chapter 177

The twins looked at each other nervously as Davin neared them.

“Hey, this is unusual for Uncle Davin to fetch us back so early from the kindergarten and even make us hide here. Do you think there is something fishy about it?”

“Of course there is,” Kyle replied firmly. He and Davin were never on good terms, so he was even more suspicious of Davin’s sinister intentions.

“What is he up to?” Juan asked while blinking his obsidian-like dark orbs.

Kyle was just as bewildered as well. With his eyes fixed on Davin, who was now looking everywhere for them, Kyle uttered coolly, “If he has any ulterior motives for doing this, then we have to teach him a lesson.”

“Juan!”

“Kyle!”

Davin wanted to shout their names, yet he dared not called out too loudly, hence he could only lower his volume and ‘yelled’ softly in the backyard.

The twins exchanged looks again and got up from their hiding spot with pebbles in their hands before throwing them in Davin’s direction.

“Ouch! My face!”

Davin turned around with his hands covering his face. “You two little brats! Don’t you know you’re not supposed to hit anyone on their face?”

“Oh, we didn’t hit anyone.” Kyle eyed him coolly.

“Yeah, we only threw some stones,” Juan corrected him seriously.

“You! Fine, fine! You win this time.”

“I don’t need you to tell me that.”

Davin could only sigh deep down and had to continue putting up his fawning smile. He really needed their help now, so it was not the right time to offend them. I’ve gotta make them happy so that they will help me.

“Uncle Davin, why are you fetching us so early from the kindergarten and even ask us to hide here?”

Davin’s eyes flickered cunningly as he reconstructed his sentences and looked at them kindly.

“I want to give you two a chance to show off!”

Show off?

The twins exchanged glances again.

With a frown, Kyle turned back to Davin defensively, while Juan blinked his eyes curiously.

Davin’s lips curled into a friendly smile as he continued. “Today, the most important member of our family is back! In order to let him have a good impression of you two, I have come out with a special introduction for both of you. I’ll reward you two handsomely if you do well later.”

The most important member of the family? Who’s that? Juan was more interested in the identity of the person.

On the other hand, Kyle was more suspicious at the so-called special introduction mentioned by Davin.

“Uncle Davin, who’s that important person?”

“How are you planning to introduce us?”

The boys voiced out their queries at the same time.

Now is the most crucial segment! As long as I manage to persuade them to cooperate with me, I can start my extraordinary magic show.

Davin looked excited as he replied, “The important person is your daddy’s grandfather, that is your great-grandfather! He is the patriarch of the family and a man of important status. As for the introduction, I need you two…”

Wow~ So it’s daddy’s grandpa! That means he must be a very old man now. Will he be as kind-looking as most old people are?

Juan’s face was full of surprise. He was really excited to meet this great-grandfather of his, which he had never met before.

As for Kyle, he was not as surprised as his twin brother. He already knew that the old man was the person his father respected the most.

With a calm face, Kyle listened to Davin’s explanation about their grand entrance.

After he was done, Davin looked at them in anticipation. “How’s that? Isn’t it extraordinary?”

Juan gave it a thought before asking, “The magic you mentioned just now, is it the same as the one we see in the circus?”

His mother had brought him to see many interesting circus performances before.

“That’s right! So all you have to do now is to cooperate with me and-”

“And you want us to act like circus animals just to make great-grandpa happy? No way we’re doing that!” Kyle snapped suddenly.

Davin was startled by his retort as he looked at Kyle awkwardly. Goodness, young boy. Do you have to be so frank and snappy at your age?

And since when am I treating you like circus animals? I’m almost begging on my knees and worshipping you like a deity!

Juan’s eyes rolled in realization. So Uncle Davin wants to use us!

Then we need to have a good talk about that!

“Kyle, Juan, I really did not take you two as circus animals. What I am doing now is to make your great-grandpa happy and let you two leave a good impression on him. That way, he will love the two of you even more! I’m doing all of these for your sake. Of course, if you two don’t want to do so…”
