Chapter 103 Let Them Have Babies Tonight
Hugo was in kindergarten when his smartwatch buzzed in his pocket. He squinted, got up, and headed to the bathroom.
He'd been keeping an eye on Frederick, so naturally, he also kept tabs on Nicholas. So, when Nicholas reached out, Hugo noticed right away.
One of Nicholas's guys messaged him: [Hey, my boss needs your help urgently. Check out the attachment.]
Hugo squinted at the picture and was instantly floored. Nicholas wanted to trade this thing with him? Did Nicholas even realize how valuable it was? Did he know how tough it was to get?
Even he and Frederick didn't have it! Frederick had been hunting for it forever with no luck.
With this in hand, was there any task left that couldn't be done?
What was Nicholas up to? Just using the item would be enough, so why come to him?
Hugo thought for a moment and shot back a message.
Hugo: [You have this thing, you can do anything. Why come to me?]
The reply came quickly: [My boss says this thing is great, but it can only do one thing. It'd be a waste for us to use it.]
In other words, trading it with Hugo could get multiple things done.
Hugo got it. Nicholas was a sly old fox!
Hugo: [I can make a deal, but I'll do up to three legal things within my abilities.]
This time, the reply took a bit longer: [Deal! How do we get the thing to you?]
Hugo: [I'll send you a location later. Just drop it there, and I'll have someone pick it up.]
[Okay! My boss hopes you can quickly find out who breached the Valdemar Group's security system and who took over their business overnight.]
Hugo squinted again. They wanted him to investigate himself. No way he was revealing his identity to Nicholas!
But he couldn't just send someone to fool him either. He had to think this through.
Hugo: [This counts as the first thing. Once I find out, I'll send you the info right away.]
[Okay, thanks. Looking forward to working with you.]
Hugo didn't reply. He sat on the tiny toilet, staring at the picture, deep in thought.
Nicholas was paying a hefty price to mess with Frederick! And this thing was what Frederick had been searching for.
If he leaked the news about this thing, what would Frederick do? He'd definitely reach out and negotiate terms to get it!
Could he use this thing to make Frederick divorce Isabella?
This thing was rare, but he didn't need it urgently. Compared to Isabella's wish, what did this thing matter?
Hugo thought it over and fiddled with his smartwatch for a bit.
Soon, the news that Nicholas was going to use that thing to work with a top hacker reached Frederick's ears.
Frederick was in the middle of a high-level meeting. He cut it short and went back to his office, looking grim. "Is the news reliable?" he asked.
Elliot showed him the tablet. "Yeah. It's already all over the dark web, posted by 'Always IsaBabe's' himself."
Hugo, using the username 'Always IsaBabe's' on the dark web, had updated his status with the picture Nicholas gave him, captioned: [With enough sincerity, I will grant your wish!]
The comments were full of shock and envy: [Oh my god! It finally reappeared! Shocking!!!]
[Who is asking for your help, even bringing this out? It must be something huge!]
[Whoever owns this thing is definitely not an ordinary person. It could be the government!]
[I heard our government has one, and foreign forces have been eyeing it! Could this be the one from the government?]
[Could it be that the government ran into some trouble and needs help?]
Someone even exclaimed: [I thought it was just a rumor, didn't expect it to really exist! I heard with this thing... oh my god! I am so clueless!]
Frederick stared at the tablet for a bit and then said in a deep voice, "Contact him!"
Elliot knew Frederick had been hunting for this, and he knew why, but...
"Looking at Always IsaBabe's status, he seems to really like this thing. If we want it, he might not be willing to give it up."
"Offer enough chips, let him name his price!" Frederick said calmly.
"Okay, but what about Nicholas? No doubt, he's asking Always IsaBabe's to find the person who breached our system. That person is capable and rich. If Nicholas finds him, it won't be good for us," Elliot asked anxiously.
Frederick frowned, "Ignore him for now, get that thing first!"
"Alright," Elliot replied.
He started messaging 'Always IsaBabe's'.
But no matter how many messages he sent, 'Always IsaBabe's' didn't reply.
Frederick was not happy about this!
What Frederick didn't know was that 'Always IsaBabe's' was his son Hugo.
And right now, Hugo was surrounded by a bunch of little girls, unable to reply to his messages.
It was break time, and a group of little girls was trying to win Hugo over with gifts.
Some gave him chocolates, some gave milk candies, and some gave stickers, colored paper, and clay.
Some even gave him love letters.
"Hugo, since you accepted my love letter, you have to marry me in the future. You can't break your promise!"
Hugo was puzzled. He thought, 'Did I accept it? Did I say anything?'
Before he could speak, another girl said, "Hugo can't marry you. I just gave him milk candy. He ate my candy, so he has to be my husband! A person can only marry one wife. If he marries me, he can't marry you!"
"But I also want to marry him!"
"Then you go find Justin and Paul."
"No, Justin and Paul said they already have someone they like."
Justin and Paul's crushes were their mommies. They said they only loved their mommies!
Hugo said the same thing, but these little girls just didn't believe it!
"What should we do? We all want to marry Hugo, what should we do?"
"I have an idea; we can ask Hugo's mommy to have more kids."
"Yeah, that's a good idea."
So, a group of little girls surrounded Hugo again and said, "Hugo, when you go home after school, tell your daddy and mommy to work hard and have more kids like you, so we don't have to fight over you."
"I'll count, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine! Nine more, your daddy and mommy need to have nine more sons, then it's enough for all of us!"
"Our requirements are not high. If the new kids don't look like you and Justin, looking like Paul is also okay."
"Indeed, Hugo, our happiness rests in your hands. You must inform your parents to have more children tonight!"
Hugo had a headache. He didn't like girls chattering around him.
But Isabella said that boys must be gentlemanly and polite, especially to little girls, they should be considerate.
Hugo could only patiently say, "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, my daddy and mommy won't have more kids."
"Huh? Why?" those girls inquired.
Hugo certainly wouldn't say they were getting divorced. He said, "Because my daddy can't do it anymore."
"Huh? Can't do it anymore? Is your daddy sick? Is he dying?"
"No, he won't die for now, but he has a male disease and can't let my mommy have more babies."
So, the news that "Hugo's daddy can't do it and can't have more kids" quickly spread in the kindergarten.
Some little girls were more emotional. Pondering the possibility that Hugo's parents might be unable to have more children, and considering the prospect that they themselves might remain without husbands in the future, they wept sorrowfully.
"I don't want Hugo's daddy to be sick, I want him to have kids."
"I also want Hugo's daddy to have kids!"
