Chapter 167
“Alright!”
The two little fellows walked back along the path they had just taken.
However, the sky was too dark and the mountain was full of greenery that they could not find the way down the mountain!
It was a restricted area where tourists were not allowed to enter. The mountain covered a large area too. Furthermore, it was a wild bird sanctuary
The two little fellows could not find their way out at all.
Suddenly, a big bird flapped its wing and flew with a loud cackling sound. It was so ear–piercing and terrifying!
It sounded so much like the Witch of the Black Mountain appearing out of the blue in the dark.
“Argh!”
“Davian, a ghost!” Irvin was so scared that he burst into tears instantly. He screamed as he hid his head in Davian’s arm.
Davian was freaked out too.
But as Davian was the elder brother, he had to be braver.
“Don’t be scared, Irvin. I will protect you.”
Irvin was so scared that he did not dare to open his eyes. He cried as he said, “Davian, when can we go home?”
Davian looked around and said, “Don’t be anxious! It is already dark now. We are unable to find the way back!
“I think we should find somewhere safe first. When the sun rises tomorrow, I am pretty sure that we could find out way home.”
“Okay!”
The two little fellows held each other’s hands tightly. They dared not run around cluelessly. Hence, they could only grope around in the darkness.
“Look! There is a hole here!”
“Let’s go inside!”
“Okay!”
The two little fellows found a place that looked like a cave. Both of them crouched down and crawled into the hole.
In fact, it was an abandoned underground drainage channel.
However, it had already dried up. It was relatively safer for both of them to curl up inside the underground drainage channel.
After entering the underground drainage channel….
It was so dark inside that they could not see anything at all.
“I am so hungry, Davian!” said trvin. His stomach is growling non–stop right now.
Both of them had not eaten anything for the entire afternoon. They were starving now.
“Bear with it first!”
we had known earlier, we should have packed some food in our backpack when we came out just now.”

Chapter 167
“How I wish I could eat cakes, chocolates, and the dumplings made by Mommy now Oh yeah! Finger licking drumsticks too!”
Irvin drooled as he spoke.
Davian sighed and said, “Stop talking! The more you talk, the hungrier you will get! Let’s get some rest first. We will not feel hungry after we fall asleep!”
“I can’t sleep, Davian!”
“You have to sleep even if you can’t. Otherwise, you will not have enough energy to walk tomorrow. We will be able to go home at dawn!”
The two little fellows had been walking for the whole day. They were so tired, hungry, and sleepy right now!
The weather was cold now. So, both of them cuddled together to keep each other warm. In fact, it was relatively warm inside the underground drainage
channel.
At the foot of the mountain.
Bruce and Joanna were losing their mind.
“Send more helicopters out to find the kids, even if there is a need to flip the mountain over!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Hundreds of people from the Everett family and the search and rescue team were deployed to search the entire mountain.
Joanna was so anxious at that moment, “I want to join the search and rescue team too!”
Bruce stopped her immediately and said, “Joanna, you should stay behind and wait for them to return. What if they come home? There should be someone in the house to wait for their return, am I right?”
“No! I am going to look for my kids!
“Bruce, if anything happens to the kids, I am not going to forgive you for the rest of my life.”
Bruce frowned. His mind was in a mess too.
It was absolutely beyond his expectation that the kids would be missing in the Everett mansion!
It was totally impossible for the kids to be kidnapped from the Everett mansion too!
There were so many bodyguards and servants in the Everett family. Furthermore, there were three electromechanical doors. It was impossible for the kidnapper to enter the mansion.
“Calm down, Joanna!
“Let’s find out how the kids could have gone missing first!
“Even if they were kidnapped, it is impossible for anyone to enter the mansion and kidnap the kids without being noticed!”
Joanna’s mind was in a mess now. All she wanted to do now was to find the kids as soon as possible. Her brain seemed to have short–circuited. She could not think logically at all.
“The key is that all the surveillance cameras are down. Otherwise, we would be able to see which direction they were heading to!”
Upon hearing it, Joanna came to think of something all of a sudden. “Could it be that Davian and Irvin sneaked out of the house on their own?”
Davian liked to fiddle with computers. So, it was not impossible for him to hack into the Everett mansion power circuit control system.
Bruce frowned as he gave it a thought. Possible!
In fact, this little fellow hacked into the Everett Group’s network twice. So, most probably, he was the one who did it this time.

Chapter 167
“No matter what, we have to find them quickly!
“Davian, Irvin!”
“Master Davian, Master Irvin…”
The helicopter flew in the sky!
Team members and hounds were searching around Mount Lance too!
It was such a pity!
The two little fellows hid inside the abandoned underground drainage channel that had a very good soundproof design. Hence, they could not hear people calling their names outside at all!
Irvin was in a daze when he heard someone calling their names intermittently. “Davian, I think I heard Mommy calling our names!”
Davian was so exhausted that he turned around and continued to sleep. “Hurry up and sleep. You must be dreaming!
“It is already so late now. How would she be here at this hour?”
Irvin felt that it made sense upon hearing what Davian said,
He must have missed his Mommy too much that he even dreamed of her in his dream, “You are right!”
The two little fellows then fell asleep again.
In just a blink of an eye….
Six to seven hours had passed.
The search and rescue team had been searching the whole night.
“Mr. Everett, I doubt that the kids are still in the mountain!”
“With such a huge commotion and so many people are looking for them. If the children are still in the mountain, we’ll definitely be able to find them!
“Since they are nowhere in sight on the mountain, then we should search at the foot of the mountain instead!”
Early in the morning.
The search and rescue team and the members of the Everett family gave up on searching the mountain!
They had been searching for a day and a night. Since they could not find them on the mountain, it seemed that the kids were not on the mountain.
Joanna and Bruce did not sleep for the entire night.
Joanna’s eyes were bloodshot and she looked exceptionally haggard at that moment.
“Where are you, my children? Where did you go?”
Bruce was so worried that he had stubble on his face. He hugged Joanna’s shoulder tightly and said, “Don’t be anxious, Joanna. We will definitely find the kids…”
Joanna hit her head as she blamed herself. “I hate myself so much!”
“Why did I agree to let you take Davian and Irvin away in the first place?”
“Give me back my children, Bruce! Give me back my children!”
Bruce looked so guilty at that moment. “As long as the kids are still in Greyport!
“No matter what price to pay, I will definitely bring the children back safely!”
Soon…
The television program broadcast the news on the rewards offered in search of the kids repetitively.
Anyone who could provide any leads would be rewarded with 2 million dollars in cash.
Once the media broadcasted the news, it was equivalent to acknowledging Davian and Irvin as members of the Everett family indirectly.
“Oh my goodness! The three children given birth by Miss Joanna Haynes actually belong to the Everett family?”
“Do you think both the children were kidnapped?”
“I don’t know! I heard that they went missing in the Everett mansion!”
“It is so bizarre! Who would have done it? Who has the guts to kidnap the children from the Everett mansion?
“I don’t know either. After all, it was so bizarre!”
“Do you think it is possible for the two children to be kidnapped by aliens?”
