Chapter 809: Holding Back, Defeating the Enemy in One Move

Words that did not match her age jumped out of her mouth. Because when close relatives get married, other than giving birth to unhealthy children, its also easy to give birth to geniuses!

Herbert fell silent.

Sacrificing countless children for a genius. How cruel was this family?

Sigh, I shouldnt have told you this. Clarice regretted it immediately. She was in a bad mood tonight. Her sisters illness had acted up again this afternoon. Clarice felt especially terrible when she saw how much pain her sister was in. After dinner, she wanted to go out for a walk. When she met Herbert, she suddenly couldnt help but tell him these things.

Herbert, however, felt the same pity for Clarice.

They were all people who hid their pain.

Herbert suddenly said, You can tell me. I wont tell anyone.

Upon hearing this, Clarice clicked her tongue. She said, Im not afraid youll tell others. She bent her legs and shook them. Suddenly, she asked Herbert, I think you look very unhappy. Whats wrong?

Herbert had not wanted to tell her.

However, he was really in pain and blamed himself. He said in a m.u.f.fled voice, Im helping the demon do something bad. I want to defeat the demon, but Im still too young and not capable. He desperately wanted to kill Robert, the scourge of the world, but he was not capable enough now.

Upon hearing this, Clarice smiled cruelly like an adult. She said, Then hide your strength and bide your time. When youre strong, you can subdue the enemy with one move and kill him in one blow! How could such an ambitious sentence not be shocking when it came from a six-year-old girl?

Herbert stared at the girls face and admired her.

Youre going to be amazing from now on. She was so young and yet she understood such big logic. Herbert wanted to give her a thumbs up.

Clarice said arrogantly, In the future, I want to be a woman who completely trumps Bill Gates.

Oh.

Herbert thought: When I go back later, I have to find out who Bill Gates is.

Herbert could not be blamed for being ignorant. He rarely paid attention to finance. His friend Ian only paid attention to snacks. They, who were still young, did not pay attention to the legendary rich people.

As the two of them were talking, they saw a flashlight beam coming from afar. Clarice looked back and said to Zhuang Long, Its Hebe.

Herbert said nothing.

Clarice explained further. Hebe is the butler of this house. After a pause, she said, The butler I hired.

Oh.

Miss Lawson.

Hebe walked over and bowed respectfully to the little girl. He said, Miss Lawson, its getting late. Its time to go home. Miss Julia was asking you just now.

Hearing this, Clarices expression softened.

It was nice talking to you. See you next time. Clarice waved at Herbert and left. Herbert looked at her small back with envy. She was so happy without her parents to control her.

Herbert returned home and treated this evenings meeting as a coincidence.

He did not expect to see Clarice again. After all, a lady from a rich family like Clarice was arrogant. The next day, Herbert carried his school bag to school. Robert did not force Herbert to help him deal with things these few days, and Herbert was relieved.

After school, Ian invited him to his house to play games. Herbert thought about it and rejected him.

He felt that he was too dirty to stay with Ian, the little angel, for fear of tainting him.

When Herbert got home, he found two little girls standing outside his house.

Who else could it be but Julia and Clarice?

The sisters were both wearing dresses today. Julia was wearing a white one that made her look gentle and pleasant. Clarice was wearing a red one that made her look lively and playful. Seeing Herbert come home from school, Julia smiled at him politely as a greeting.

But Clarice ran over and took Herberts hand without asking.

Herberts hand was cold, like Julias.

Herbert was shocked and shook off Clarices hand.

Clarice narrowed her eyes and pretended to be angry. She questioned him, What are you doing? Am I a flood or a beast? Or am I ugly? Why did I have such a big reaction when I held your hand?

Herbert felt more at ease after being scolded by Clarice.

He said, Im not used to being held.

Most importantly, he felt that his hands had become dirty after touching those things and were no longer worthy of shaking hands with others.

However, Clarice held his hand again and squeezed it tightly. She said domineeringly, If youre not used to it, then youll slowly get used to it from now on. Clarice, who was only six years old, spoke and did things with the domineering demeanor of a strong woman.

Herbert was not good at defending himself. Chris held his hand and he could only follow her pa.s.sively.

Where are we going?

Clarice said, To the beach. To pick up sh.e.l.ls.

Herbert had to say, Its more appropriate to go in the morning to pick up the sh.e.l.ls. There are many sh.e.l.ls on the sh.o.r.e after the tide goes out in the morning.

I want to go now.

Herbert had nothing to say.

Then Ill go after I put my school bag away.

Clarice hesitated before letting go of Herberts hand.

After Herbert ran back to the house with his bag, Julia gently accused Clarice of being insensible. Herbert looks like an introvert. Dont scare her.

Clarice didnt think much of it. She even pursed her lips and said, Whats the use of being so introverted when you grow up?

Julia could not win against her.

Although they were biological sisters, Julia and Clarices personalities were completely different. One liked to be quiet, one liked to be noisy, one was sensible, and the other was domineering. Julia habitually doted on Clarice. Clarices lawless personality was most likely spoiled by her.

After a while, Herbert came out empty-handed.

The three of them went to the beach. The sun was about to set, and the temperature was not as hot anymore. There were quite a lot of people by the beach. Clarice searched for a long time by the beach, but she could not find many sh.e.l.ls. She could not help but feel discouraged. Julias heart was not good, and she could not run on the beach.

She found a reef and sat down, watching Clarice and Herbert search the sh.o.r.e for sh.e.l.ls.

Clarice suddenly looked at Julia. Then she lowered her head and dug in the sand. She said to Herbert, I want to find some beautiful sh.e.l.ls. Preferably purple. I want to ask someone to design a necklace for my sister.

She likes beautiful necklaces. She looks best in purple.

Herbert was stunned.

I see

Yeah.

Seeing that Clarice was disappointed, Herbert said with a straight face, Ive seen purple seash.e.l.ls before, but they can only be found in the morning.
