Chapter 904
Evan paused before asking Tarquin, “The gift by my bedside, was that from you?” Tarquin squinted his eyes slightly and nodded.
Evan rushed into the bathroom, grabbed Tarquin’s hand, and pulled him outside!
Tarquin quickly rinsed his mouth, put down his toothbrush, and followed Evan out.
Elysia, unaware of the situation, saw Evan storming out and was a bit worried about Tarquin. After all, Evan had always been quite critical of Tarquin, often rolling his eyes at him.
Seeing Evan’s clenched fist, Elysia was really concerned. Was he planning to take a swing at his dad?
“Evan, that’s your dad, let’s talk this out,” she said.
Elysia tried to follow, but Tarquin stopped her, “Don’t worry, let the two of us have a chat p>
Elysia: p>
Evan didn’t say a word but dragged Tarquin to his room and pointed at the gift on the bedside table.
“This, this right here, did you give me this p>
“Yeah, it’s your Children’s Day gift from daddy. Do you like it p>
Evan stared at Tarquin for a long time before saying, “From now on, you’re my real dad p>
Tarquin was puzzled. Wasn’t he already?
Evan was ecstatic, “This is so cool! How did you manage this p>
Back when Evan lived in the countryside, he learned martial arts from his masters and loved tinkering with all sorts of weapons.
He had heard about a secret facility called ‘AZ’ with the most advanced and powerful weapons. He had always wanted to visit, but even after asking
his brothers Elliot and Elijah to investigate, he found out it was a closed facility, accessible only to a few designated military officers and with a complicated application process. Even Elliot and Elijah couldn’t find a way in.
But Tarquin had managed to get him an all-access pass!
Not just for a visit, but for unlimited visits whenever he wanted!
Cool, right?
“Do you like the gift daddy gave you?” Tarquin asked.
“Yeah, yeah, I love it! How did you do it, when even Elliot and Elijah couldn’t help p>
Tarquin spoke calmly and slowly, “The facility is fully funded by your daddy p>
Evan was shocked, “You’re that awesome p>
Tarquin sighed, “Watch your language, or your mom will scold you again p>
Evan was the only one among the kids who spoke without filters, full of inte slang and swear words, much to Elysia’s dismay.
Evan pursed his lips, “Man to man, we can be a bit rough around the edges, don’t go snitching p>
Tarquin replied, “If you don’t want a lecture from your mom, watch your language p>
“Alright, alright, got it. You’re not old yet, no need to nag. Now, tell me, how come you invested in this facility p>
Tarquin sat on the edge of the bed, getting straight to the point, “Mainly because daddy has a lot of money! The founder of the facility was an old friend of your Uncle Soren. When he wanted to start it, many were skeptical and government funding was limited. So, your Uncle Soren came to me. I believed in the project and invested p>
Evan was all ears, “So, you’re the boss of AZ p>
Tarquin shook his head, “I’m more of a sponsor. The facility is still state-owned, has nothing to do with me, and I don’t take a share of the profits.” Evan was confused, “So, you’re saying you invested all that money for nothing p>
Tarquin explained, “Of course not. A strong country ensures the well-being of its people. Investing in the nation’s military endeavors is never a loss p>
