Chapter 380 To avoid hurting the father–son relationship, this is the only way.

“Really? You figured it out?” Tara looked skeptical.

“Yeah,” Second nodded.

“Do you have x–ray vision or something?” Tara teased, glancing at him. “Alright, no need to cover for your dad. I won’t hold

it against him.”

Second wanted to say something, but his lips moved slightly before he decided against it.

Explaining things wasn’t his strong suit.

But he really could see it.

Just then, as they watched First walk over to Hugo, Tara nudged Second with her elbow. “Do you think First can handle

Hugo?”

Second watched casually and nodded, “Of course. He’s our dad. Whether he can handle it or not, it won’t matter.”

Tara draped her arm over his shoulder, raising an eyebrow at him. “Are you proud or something?”

Second looked innocent, “No, just stating the facts.”

Tara gave him a once–over, “You’ve been acting weird about Hugo lately. What, did he bribe you?”

Second tugged at his lips, muttering softly, “Bribed? No way. He’s my dad, and that’s just how it is.”

Tara Green wanted to say something but held her tongue at the last moment.

Second’s words weren’t really a problem.

With that in mind, she pursed her lips, “Let’s see what they have to say.”

So, they both turned their attention to First and Hugo.

At that moment, First walked over to Hugo, looked at him, and after a moment of thought, spoke up, “Dad, why don’t we

find somewhere to talk?”

Hugo glanced at him, “Is that really necessary?”

“Out here in the middle of nowhere isn’t the best place for a chat,” First replied.

Hugo checked the time, his brow furrowed, “No need, chatting with you two is best done here in the wilderness!”

First was speechless.

He knew Hugo was in a hurry, but wasn’t everyone? First was anxious too, but he had to pretend to be calm.

It was a test of endurance now.

First cleared his throat and then smiled at Hugo, “Alright, if that’s the case, let’s talk here…”

Hugo remained silent, just watching them, as if waiting for a reasonable explanation.

“Dad, first of all, I apologize for the issue with this shipment,” First said.

Hugo looked at him, “If you really felt sorry, you wouldn’t have done it!”

First’s gaze shifted, and he couldn’t deny it.

But he couldn’t just admit it outright.

“Dad, here’s the thing. I admit it wasn’t entirely fair, but at the end of the day, I didn’t really betray you.”

“Oh?”

“Honestly, this shipment was already on my radar. We just happened to cross paths, but I can’t just back down because .

you’re my dad. That wouldn’t be fair to the Dark Web, and it wouldn’t show you the respect you deserve, right? Besides,

someone like you doesn’t need anyone to step aside, do you, Dad?” First said, flashing a flattering smile.

First started by explaining the situation and then complimented him.

His dear son was getting better at talking.

Hugo looked at him, his dark eyes glinting with a peculiar light. “So, by your logic, should I be thanking you?”

“No need for that!” First quickly waved his hand.

“You’re certainly not modest!” Hugo said.

First lowered his gaze, not upset, but rather looking at him, “Dad, you suspected me from the start, didn’t you?”

Hugo’s eyes were filled with curiosity, “Why do you say that?”

“If I’m not mistaken, it’s about the necklace?” First asked.

Since Hugo had asked him about the necklace last time, First had already pieced most of it together. He just didn’t expect

this day to come so soon.

Hugo looked at him, his eyes flickering with something unusual. He had to admit, First was indeed smart–almost too

smart to be normal.

“Yes,” Hugo replied.

“So you admit that today’s actions were just to force us out into the open?” First continued, glancing at the gun in Hugo’s

hand. “It’s probably not loaded, right?”

Hugo’s gaze was deep and unreadable as he looked at First.

To First, Hugo’s silence was as good as a confirmation.

Inside, First felt an inexplicable joy. “No matter what, I thank you for this,” he said.

Hugo took a deep breath. “I didn’t harm her because she once helped your mom at the hospital, but that doesn’t mean I

can tolerate everything.”

First nodded repeatedly. “You’re right, Dad.”

“Flattery won’t get you anywhere.”

First smiled at Hugo. “So, Dad, are you not mad anymore?”

“When did I say I was angry?” Hugo asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I knew it, Dad’s got a big heart. So, Dad, about that shipment… you…” First hesitated, looking at him.

Hugo examined him closely. “You’re still thinking about that shipment?”

“Of course!” First replied. “We went through so much trouble to get it, and then you figured out who we were. If we just let

it go, it would be such a waste!”

Hugo chuckled softly, looking at him. At this moment, First and Second were more than just kids in his eyes.

He couldn’t treat them like ordinary children anymore.

Hugo closed his eyes for a moment, then looked at First. “What if I don’t agree?”

“Splitting it would work too,” First offered, trying to compromise.

Hugo still shook his head.

First watched him, his brow furrowing. No one had ever pushed him to retreat like this before.

Thinking about it, First’s expression darkened. “If none of this works, it seems there’s only one way left.”

“What way?”

At that moment, First pulled out something resembling a remote from his pocket. “Then it’ll have to vanish into thin air,

scattered by the wind.”

Looking at what he held, Hugo squinted. “Are you threatening me?”

“Dad, I’ve already taken a step back. How can this be a threat? You should know, stepping back was never an option for

me before!”

First’s arrogant tone made him sound like he was asking for trouble. But Hugo knew he was just like that when he was

young.

He looked at him, his dark eyes glinting. “Is that so?”

At that moment, First held a remote with a casual demeanor. “Tara was right. To preserve our father–son bond, this

shipment has to go!” Without hesitation, First coolly pressed the power button.

Hugo didn’t expect him to act so suddenly. Before he could speak, there was a loud bang.

Hugo had no time to react and immediately lunged toward First. “Watch out!”

Tara was even more stunned, unsure of how the explosion happened behind them. Instinctively, she shielded Second and

crawled forward.

Boom! Boom!

After two consecutive explosions, they all hit the ground, and for a moment, flames shot up into the sky.
