However, how could a child defend against the sinister nature of an adult? Her most beloved Uncle Marcus lived there. Her parents and her grandmother are all mourning there. These three uncles and her Uncle Marcus looked so much alike. Aino never would have expected that she would be tricked.
The three men who claimed to be Aino's uncles stuffed her into a car, but they did not bring her to a restaurant. Instead, they made several turns and in the end, they actually brought her out of the city. Aino immediately noticed that something was wrong. Her heart sank. However, she did not show any signs of panic on the surface at all. On the contrary, she smiled and looked at the three Shaw brothers with her clever gaze.
"Is the place where we're going to grab a bite very far away? I’m guessing that you must be taking me to a high-end restaurant, right? I heard that a three-star restaurant with traveling being their theme had opened in the suburbs, right?"
Keegan originally was still thinking of how to scare the child, but he never expected that this child would actually act like a smarty-pants. He immediately played along and said, "Gosh, Aino is so smart.
That's right. I am bringing you to a high-end restaurant to have a feast."
"However, Uncle, I had woken up too early this morning, so I am a little sleepy now. I'll first take a nap. Don't forget to wake me up when we arrive at the place," said Aino immediately.
"Alright. Have a nap first then, baby." Keegan sneered in his heart. It was even better for her to be asleep. That way, the child would not cry and shout, which would save a lot of trouble for them.
"I will sleep now then." Aino shut her eyes as she said that. Her heart was suddenly pounding out of her chest. She felt a little uneasy, but she did her best to repeatedly warn herself to keep calm.
When she was five years old, her grandfather and uncle joined forces to have her abducted. Even then, she was able to escape. With Aino's intelligence, it certainly would not be a problem for her to deal with these few old men.
Hold on! The first time was a left turn! It seemed to be going toward the southwest for ten minutes after they left the city. The car was going at about 60 kilometers per hour. She made a mental note of it.
Another right turn. It seemed that the car was going up. Did it drive up the winding up of the mountains? Although Aino's eyes were shut, she made an extremely accurate mental note of every little turn and ascent that the car made. It was after two whole hours that the car was stopped. Aino still kept her eyes shut and her breathing was very consistent.
"It was so easy for us to get this child in the palm of our hands! It turned out that Sebastian's child was just so-so!" Keegan smiled.
Lokni explained, "Keegan, your children are all grown, so maybe you don't remember anymore. Children like her who are just a little over ten years old are about the same as children who are about five. Children like her would easily fall asleep during a long drive as the car is bumpy. My daughter is the same. She'll fall asleep
once she gets into the car." "It's good that she had fallen asleep," said Caelus. "It saves us a lot of trouble now that she has fallen asleep. Keegan, tie her up. Be careful not to tie it too tight. Don't wake her or she’ll start bawling.”
"I can even hear this child snoring. I'm guessing that she had not slept well in the past couple of days when her parents were not by her side. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come so early to look for her parents and grandmother. Tie her up, but don't wake her."
In fact, Aino had never been asleep.
However, her snoring was incomparably realistic. Sometimes the pitch was high, sometimes it was low. Sometimes she would stop storing for a long while, but sometimes she would snore very loudly for a very long time. She could not panic. She
had to first paralyze the defenses these three people had against her.
Aino only gradually woke up after an hour. When she woke up, she burst out crying so hard that bubbles were forming from her nose. "My uncles, why did you tie me up?"
