Chapter 806
But now, with a lead on Keith, there’s finally a direction to investigate.
Elliot, furrowing his brow impatiently, said, “Let’s use that thing I have! It’ll be faster p>
Tarquin, catching on immediately, frowned and asked, “The one you got from Gideon p>
“Yeah p>
Back when they first returned to Jindale City, because of Elysia, Elliot and Tarquin had a ‘battle’, hacking into the Bradford Group’s security system. Gideon had no clue about Elliot’s true identity, but recognizing his skills, he wanted to use him to find Alpha Thorne to counter Tarquin.
Eventually, Gideon traded that item with Elliot for three favors.
One of those was to help find a way to contact Alpha.
Just how rare and sought after was this item?
Money couldn’t buy it, power couldn’t trade for it; luck was the only way to get it!
Even Tarquin didn’t have it!
Previously, Tarquin had tried to make a deal with Elliot to exchange it, hoping to use it to find Elysia’s whereabouts.
How Gideon got his hands on it remains a mystery to this day.
The item, plain as it looked, was backed by a powerful entity, the identity of which remained unknown.
But owning it meant its master could help you achieve anything you desired!
Elliot had initially thought of using it to retrieve Elizabeth Gonzalez’s ashes as a birthday gift for Tarquin.
But then he found another way to get the ashes and didn’t use it.
Now, it could be used to find his sister’s location!
He was so eager to find his sister, wishing he could see her right now!
Understanding Elliot’s feelings, Tarquin, with a thoughtful frown, shook his head,
“We don’t yet know if Keith is the mysterious person, nor if the girl he’s caring for is your sister. Using it now would be premature. Let’s wait until we’re sure p>
Using it to find someone was efficient, fast, convenient, and foolproof.
But what if Keith wasn’t the mysterious figure, and the girl wasn’t who they were looking for?
It would be a waste of something so precious and rare!
Elijah nodded in agreement,
“Dad’s right. It’s not the right time yet. We should first confirm whether we really have a sister out there. Is Keith the mysterious person? Is the girl he’s caring for actually our sister p>
These questions were urgent!
Seeing both kids with their brows furrowed, Tarquin comforted them,
“Don’t worry, with Dad here, I promise, if you really have a sister out there, I’ll do everything in my power to find her and bring her back to our family circle as soon as possible p>
The room fell silent for a moment before Elliot asked,
“Did you tell Mom about our sister p>
Tarquin shook his head, “Things are still uncertain. I’m worried she’ll start worrying unnecessarily p>
“Let’s not tell Mom yet!” Elliot and Elijah said in unison.
The father and sons were on the same page!
Elysia was a worrier, especially when it came to children.
Telling her about a daughter lost out there would drive her crazy with worry!
And they couldn’t tell Evan either. Evan was impulsive and obsessed with the idea of having a sister.
He’d been dreaming of having a sister. Knowing he might have one under Keith’s care would make him turn the house upside down!
Not to mention, alarming Keith was one thing; Evan himself would become like an ant on a hot pan, frantically anxious.
And Emmett was out of the question. He was a little crybaby. Not knowing his sister’s whereabouts would break his heart, possibly even leading to real tears.
So, the trio decided to keep it a secret for as long as possible, discussing any progress among themselves.
If push came to shove, they’d use that item!
Nothing in the world was more important than finding their sister, no matter how precious the item was!
