You More Than Anything In The World

While Benjamin was worried sick about his son, Zachary had become rather close with the kidnappers.

“Hey, Zachary! How are you this good at playing cards?” asked Jason with a look of admiration in his eyes.

“Yeah! That brain of yours sure is amazing! I can't believe you remembered every card that was played!” David was so impressed that he almost asked Zachary to mentor him.

“You're ridiculously smart for a kid, Zachary! What else do you know?” Even Abel spoke softly for fear of scaring Zachary.

Zachary's lips twitched as he said sarcastically, “If I were as smart as you guys say, then I wouldn't have been kidnapped by you guys and brought all the way here.”

The kidnappers exchanged glances and let out awkward chuckles in response.

“We didn't have a choice, Zachary. We were just following our boss' orders.”

“Oh, I understand that completely. Who is your boss, though? Why does he want to kidnap us?” Zachary crossed his arms in a domineering manner.

The men exchanged glances once again, and Jason replied with a faint smile, “We don't know that either, to be honest.”

Zachary narrowed his eyes and glared at them. “Stop lying to me. If you don't feel like talking about it, then don't. I won't force you guys to. There's no reason for you guys to be worried, though. You're still holding me captive, so there's nothing I can do to your boss even if I know who he is.”

The men felt even more awkward when they heard that.

Eventually, Jason couldn't stand it anymore and said, “We only kidnapped you kids because of your daddy! It has nothing to do with you kids.”

Zachary frowned when he heard that. So, they really are Daddy's enemies!

“You know, we're not close with Benjamin even though we're his children, so he might not come for us even if you guys contact him!”

The men stared at Zachary with disbelief written all over their faces. “How is that possible? Benjamin loves his son very much!”

“That's probably from before we showed up. He does love his son, but it's our eldest brother, Gavin, whom he loves. He's usually very fierce to us and wouldn't even let us call him Daddy. We always call him Mr. Graham instead. If you don't believe me, then ask Tim when he wakes up. Ask him how we address Benjamin, and you will see that I'm telling the truth. I have nothing to gain by lying about this, so I have no reason to do that,” Zachary said with a serious look in his eyes.

The men were half convinced because of how persuasive Zachary made it sound. They even started regretting not kidnapping Gavin instead.

Do we still have time to go grab that kid?

After observing their expressions, Zachary let out a sigh when he saw that they were half-convinced.

Curious as to why Zachary looked upset all of a sudden, Jason asked, “What's wrong?”
