âItâs going to be fine. You donât need to worry about the affairs between Mommy and Daddy. Iâll hire a teacher to give you some classes tomorrow, so you can catch up when we get home. Also, remember to practice your respective skills and talents, got it?â
âOkay, Daddy.â
âOkay, Daddy.â
The quadruplets had no choice but to leave the study room. They stared at one another and concluded that their parentsâ matters were too complicated. Itâs probably better for us to monitor from a distance and help accordingly.
Besides, Sheila and Davin are here to help as well, Iâm sure Daddy and Mommy will be able to get back together.
When the kids walked past the courtyard, they saw the Hidden Masters and John arguing.
Maya and Nina werenât interested in what the adults were arguing about, so they simply held hands and walked away in tiny steps. Juan and Kyle, however, was intrigued.
When they found out that the men were fighting about the potential location of a treasure. Juanâs and Kyleâs eyes gleamed with excitement and they asked about it immediately.
âTreasure? What treasure are you talking about, Mr. John?â
John turned to Juan and answered, âItâs something extremely valuable. Itâs the kind of treasure that no one has ever seen before.â
âWhat kind of valuable treasure are you talking about?â urged Kyle, whose interest was piqued as well.
âWe donât know yet. Weâll have to find it first,â replied John. These kids are ridiculously intelligent, agile, and can come up with good suggestions that often made things easier. Itâd be easier for us to find the treasure with their help.
John then added, âWill you boys hunt the treasure with us? Weâve found a few possible locations where the treasure could be, and weâll know what the treasure is once we find it.â
The two mischievous kids turned to one another. Juan, who was naughtier than his brother, blinked his big, round eyes before asking, âDo we get something out of it if we help?â
John deliberated before nodding. âOf course. Mr. Seet sent us to hunt for the treasure. Iâm sure he will reward you once it is found.â
Kyle shifted his cool gaze to John. The former refuted calmly, âDaddy asked you to look for the treasure, and weâd be helping you with your task. You should be the one rewarding us instead.â
Kyleâs words got the Hidden Masters and John looking at each other. They werenât expecting the childâs logical thinking to be that developed. Still, his words made sense.
Jeremy chuckled and cooed, âWell, thatâs not exactly right. Youâre helping us out, but weâre working for Mr. Seet. At the end of the day, weâre all just doing this for your Daddy, soâ¦â
âExactly, and that is why you boys should turn to your father when asking for a reward,â said Jensen.
Kyle shot a look at the men and argued, âSo what if youâre doing this for Daddy? Does my Daddy not pay you a salary for your work? Do you not already get something out of this? Are you doing this for free?â
His questions got the men stumped.
Darius and Damien turned to one another for a whole second before they shook their head and replied, âN-No.â
âNo.â
Jeremy and Jensen, on the other hand, simply cleared their throats and looked away without saying another word.
John shifted his gaze to the men and sighed internally. The kid got all four adults to shut up⦠Gosh, that is really something.
âYouâll have to reward us if you want our help. If you donât want to offer anything, then we can forget all about it.â
John thought about how they had virtually zero progress in the past few days and how they spent most of their time arguing with one another. That got John to clenched his teeth and said, âOkay, weâll reward you both. What do you want?â
The icy look that Kyle had on his tiny face turned warm as a smirk crept up. âWe want you to help us with something.â
âAnd what might that be?â
âYouâll know soon enough.â
Heâs not planning on pulling some pranks, is he? Worry donned Johnâs face.
The Hidden Masters, however, agreed to those terms without hesitating.
âSure. We canât afford any rewards youâd like, but we can certainly help. Just tell us what you need us to do.â
âThatâs right. Weâll definitely help.â
John didnât even know what to say.
He was secretly worried when he saw the Hidden Masters being so confident.
Those idiots have no idea what these kids are capable of. I just hope that whatever Kyle is asking for is within our capabilities.
With that, Juan and Kyle officially joined the treasure hunt. The kids started examining the blueprints and discussing the matter with the men.
