Chapter 250: Familiar Scene
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The old and young took their belongings and headed downstairs.
As they were heading downstairs, they heard footsteps coming from upstairs.
Then, a flashlight shone on their faces. It was like a policeman catching a criminal in the middle of the night.
Why did Lauren Torres feel that this scene was familiar?
The person who came down was Bryce Torres. He was holding a pile of books in his left hand and looked like he was going to study.
“Brother, what are the two of you doing here so early in the morning?”
Franklin Torres did not expect to see Bryce Torres at this hour. He asked Bryce Torres in return, “Then what are you doing here so early in the morning?”
Bryce Torres waved the books in his hand and said, “I’m going to study. I’m already in my third year of high school!”
“At 4:30? Study at 4:30 in the morning?”
Bryce Torres nodded. “Yes. Brother, you told me last time that as long as I can get into the top three, you’ll buy me a sports car.”
Franklin Torres was silent for a few seconds.
Why didn’t he remember saying this?
However, if his younger brother could really get into the top three, a sports car was nothing. His grandmother would probably give him a house as a reward.
“Don’t talk about me now. What are you two going to do early in the morning? Going for breakfast?”
The corner of Lauren Torres’s eyes twitched.
She recalled the incident when Quinn Torres mentioned that they were going to have supper in the middle of the night.
Both of them were good-for-nothings!
Good-for-nothings!
They woke up at 4:30 am to have breakfast, did they have no better things to do?
However, to Lauren Torres’s surprise, Franklin Torres didn’t hide anything from Bryce Torres. Instead, he directly told him where they were heading.
“We’re going to Thomas Johnson High School now.”
Bryce Torres was stunned for three seconds on upstairs. Then, he used his flashlight to flash Franklin Torres’s and Lauren Torres’s eyes.
“Are the two of you sick? You’re fully aware that there’re ghosts there and you’re still going there.”
Lauren Torres pouted her lips and replied, “It’s because I know that there’re ghosts there that I want to go. Otherwise, the ghosts will never be caught, and you will have to study at home forever.”
“Little brat like you can catch ghosts?”
“Of course. Don’t underestimate me.”
Then, Lauren Torres pulled Franklin Torres’s hand.
“Brother, we should go now. Otherwise, we won’t make it in time for five o’clock.”
Now was not the time to explain to Bryce Torres. Franklin Torres nodded and was about to leave with Lauren Torres.
Suddenly, Franklin Torres thought of something.
It was still early in the morning. Thomas Johnson High School would have been locked up everywhere.
As it was so sudden, he didn’t have time to contact the police. How were they going to get in?
It was impossible to call them now and disturb their sleep.
This was a good question. The moment Franklin Torres raised his head, he saw Bryce Torres.
He waved at Bryce Torres. Looking from Bryce Torres’s angle, it was like a demon waving at him from hell.
“Bryce, come here. I have a mission for you.”
When Bryce Torres heard the word ‘mission’, his scalp went numb. He quickly shook his hand and said, “Forget it. The missions you assign me are all not good. Don’t scare me to death.”
Bryce Torres quickly stepped backward.
Franklin Torres pursed his lips. As a capitalist who was said to be unforgivable by others, he was very good at negotiating.
“If you don’t come over, I’ll tell mom and dad about you skipping class.”
“How… How did you know I skipped class?”
He had left through a secret passage. No one knew about it.
Thinking that Franklin Torres might be bluffing, Bryce Torres was not easily frightened.
“So what if I skipped class? I just got tired of studying and went to play video games.”
He knew that his parents doted on him very much. It was just going out to play video games. It was a boy’s favorite after-school activity. Thus he would probably be fine after a scolding.
However, Franklin Torres knew that the truth was not that simple.
“If you really went out to play video games, then I won’t say anything. But as far as I know, you went out to watch the car races, right?”
Every year, the country would hold two very grand car races. The location of the race was on a very rugged mountain. It was dangerous even for the people watching the race. That was why Bryce Torres didn’t dare to tell his family that he was skipping class to do such a dangerous thing.
His family doted on him very much. But if it was something that was life-threatening, they would never agree to it.
“Brother, how do you know all this?”
Franklin Torres sneered. It was obvious that he was not going to reveal the identity of his informant.
What else could Bryce Torres do when this information was in the hands of Franklin Torres?
He had no choice but to take a few steps down. He knew that it was going to be hell, but he still had to go down.
“What’s the matter? What’s the mission this time?”
“It’s very simple. Take us to Thomas Johnson High School.. You’ve skipped classes so many times, you must know where else you can enter other than the main entrance.”
