Zhu Fushigi Kagemitsu looked at Amuro Toru thoughtfully.

He always felt that some subtle but real changes had taken place between Toru Amuro and Middles.

"what happened?"

He frowned and asked in a low voice.

However, just as Toru Amuro's lips moved slightly, and he was about to tell him the conversation between Vermouth and Aoi Hoshino, and the fact that 'Middles' was indeed Aoi Hoshino, a boy who looked only 6 or 7 years old suddenly appeared, causing Toru Amuro to swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

They both looked at the boy at the same time, and then looked away before he noticed.

Instead, the boy blinked and looked at Amuro Toru with some curiosity, then glanced at the man standing next to her who seemed to be very close to her.

When their eyes met, Zhu Fu Jingguang saw a hint of envy in his eyes.

He tilted his head, and in just a blink of an eye, I knew that he was envious of their height.

A child eager to grow up?

A smile flashed in Zhu Fu Jingguang's eyes, and he curled the corners of his lips at the boy who suddenly appeared in front of him. By the way, he also used this action to conceal the seriousness in his eyes.

The boy obviously didn't expect that his eyes would meet his, and a blush suddenly appeared on his fair and tender face.

Seeing this, Morofushi Kagemitsu and Amuro Toru looked at each other and had some guesses about the character of the boy in front of them.

He is a little shy and doesn't seem to know how to accept the kind gazes of strangers. From this, we can vaguely see that although his living environment is relatively simple, he does not receive much kindness.

Was it because of his distinctly Asian appearance that he was bullied at school?

Toru Amuro blinked, then quickly suppressed the emotion in his eyes.

However, there was no need for the two of them to care about the strange child in front of them, because soon, a man who looked a little fierce but with a hint of smile in his eyes appeared in this corner.

The eyes of Toru Amuro and Keimitsu Morofushi flashed, and both recognized the identity of the man in front of them.

Thomas Schindler, a man known by the outside world as the emperor of the information technology industry.

But now, this man who is called the emperor softened his eyes towards the child in front of him who looked only 6 or 7 years old.

"Hiroki, you're here."

Thomas Schindler's expression looked very kind, and his hand on the boy's shoulder was very natural. In addition, the boy did not show any resistance to him. Amuro Toru and Morobushi Kagemitsu did not say anything, but just silently glanced at the mission target who appeared behind him - Yamamoto Taro.

The two of them also understood the purpose of his trip.

It turns out it was for Thomas Schindler...

That being said, there do seem to be rumors that his company is looking for opportunities for transformation.

But I didn't know that he was targeting the information technology industry.

But for Thomas Schindler, the man following behind him was obviously not as important as the boy in front of him.

He had no intention of introducing the two to each other. He simply patted the boy on the shoulder and said to him with a smile:

"Jax told me that you didn't seem to want him following you around, so you sent him away. It's okay here, since I'm here with you. But outside, you can't be so willful."

After saying this, as if worried that he might misunderstand what he meant, he curled his lips and explained:

"After all, I once promised your mother that I would let you grow up safely under my care. Given my status, if you were alone, it would be easy for bad guys to take advantage of you."

So don’t do this kind of thing like sending the bodyguard away next time.

Although he did not say this explicitly, everyone could understand what he meant.

But unlike Toru Amuro and Kagemitsu Morofushi who frowned secretly after hearing his words, the boy seemed to have gotten used to Thomas Schindler's "attention" to him. Although he felt a little embarrassed about his words, he still nodded obediently.

Yamamoto Taro also noticed Thomas Schindler's inexplicable regard for the boy. His eyes lit up, and he felt like he had found a way to get closer to Thomas Schindler. He couldn't help but step forward and actively praised Thomas Schindler:

"Is this the legendary child you adopted? He looks very smart, completely different from other children of his age."

Hearing his praise, Thomas Schindler's hand on Hiroki's shoulder paused. He subconsciously thought that he had seen Hiroki's importance to his company through Hiroki's attitude towards him. However, when Thomas Schindler looked over with a probing look, he only saw his flattery in the other's eyes.

Thomas Schindler couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his stiff fingers relaxed, and he finally felt like smiling at Yamamoto Taro.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. This child is young and rather shy. Whenever I don't see him, I always worry that he's being bullied, so I unconsciously..."

"I understand. I understand."

Seeing his slightly apologetic expression, Yamamoto Taro waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"As fathers, we always want our children to grow up healthy and safe. Especially since this is Mr. Schindler's first time being a father, I understand."

He said several things in a row that were understandable, and he also kept following Thomas Schindler's words and took the initiative to give a reasonable explanation of his words, which made Thomas Schindler more patient.

Yamamoto Taro also noticed the softening in his attitude, and couldn't help but feel even more delighted.

The two of them chatted with each other and left this small corner with Hiroki and the bodyguard. They didn't even glance at Toru Amuro and Kagemitsu Morobushi the whole time. Naturally, they ignored the waiter who appeared nearby at some point.

They had no idea that just after they left, the waiter who was restocking the pastries on the table slowly stopped what he was doing and turned to look at their departing backs.

"What? The organization is also interested in Schindler's company?"
