But these children were innocent and naive, completely without any sense of caution.
Is this normal?!
"What's wrong with that!"
Didn't you see how much gold and silver treasures are scattered throughout this house? Even just a tiny bit taken out would be enough to cover our expenses for the next few months, or even years!
"They're just a few little kids. We can coax and fool them a bit, what do they know?!"
Mark clicked his tongue, completely ignoring Alice's concerns. He simply reached out and easily grabbed a piece of red blood pigeon egg-sized gemstone from the nearest cabinet, showing it to his friends: "Look, look at the quality! Tsk tsk, if this were sold, it could easily fetch a hundred thousand!"
Aren't you all tempted?!
“Exactly, there are so many here, they won’t know if we take a little!” Sitting next to Mark was his girlfriend, Livril. From the moment Mark took the gem, her eyes hadn’t left the beautiful gem.
marvelous!
Mark was thinking of selling it!
Her thoughts were completely different. If such a beautiful gemstone were made into jewelry, how happy and proud she would be as its owner!
"Hey kid, when are your mom and dad coming back?!"
After receiving unanimous agreement from his companions, Mark turned his gaze to the little girl sitting on the sofa, clicked his tongue, and asked somewhat rudely.
Their attitude caused the children in the room to quickly gather around the oldest boy next to the piano.
The little boy who had just opened the door for them answered cautiously in a low voice, "Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow! Then can we stay at your house for the night?!" Mark chuckled, putting on a friendly demeanor, as the children gave him a perfunctory laugh.
He was so distracted while trying to coax people that he was completely absent-minded.
"Yes, there are empty rooms upstairs." The eldest child put his arm around his younger siblings. The children were clearly flustered by the intruders, but they still managed to maintain a cautious and calm demeanor as they negotiated with them.
Seeing that they could stay, Mark didn't ask any more questions and asked the children to take them to their rooms to rest.
The same young girl who had just escorted Yao Anna and the others upstairs was now coming down the stairs with a candlestick in her hand. Hearing Mark's words, she readily agreed, saying, "Please follow me, my guests! It's getting late; you should get some rest!"
She smiled at Mark and the others, then turned to lead the way. But after a few steps, she seemed to remember something and turned back, somewhat disapprovingly addressing her younger siblings who were still standing by the piano: "Alright, if you want to play, we can continue tomorrow. It's time to sleep now!"
Although the children were reluctant, they followed their older brother, who had stood up, and walked together to a dark room in the corner of the first floor after their older sister spoke up.
Mark and his group, who were in a state of extreme excitement, did not notice this unusual situation. However, Song Mengmeng, who was in a room on the second floor, saw all of this unfold through the mirror in her hand.
"Won't these people harm those children?!"
Yao Anna didn't think that much about it. She clearly saw the greedy expressions on Mark's and the others' faces, and without much thought, she could guess that these people definitely didn't have good intentions.
"Don't you think the people we should be most worried about right now are these strangers who have barged in?!"
Song Mengmeng continued to stare at the mirror in her hand, glanced up at Yao Anna, and said with a smile, "Anyone with eyes can see that something is wrong with this house."
Although these people couldn't see the appearance of the candies, there were just too many illogical things about them!
For example, in a house deep in the jungle, there are only a few children who haven't grown up yet.
Although they said that Mom and Dad had to go out to visit someone unexpectedly, if your parents went out, wouldn't they remind you to lock the doors and windows and not to open the door to strangers when you're home alone?
Moreover, the furnishings in this house are excessively extravagant in every aspect!
Look around. Jewelry, antiques, and gems are scattered everywhere, and gold and silver coins and various gems can be seen in the corners of the bed.
If we really talk about it, can you estimate how much wealth these things represent?!
In such an environment, the owners are just a few seemingly weak and innocent children. Tell me, what do you call that?!
"fishing?!"
Yao Anna was stunned for a moment before finally speaking, uttering the thought that had first popped into her mind.
The villa before us, the innocent children inside, and the scattered, immeasurable treasures all exude immense allure.
It's like bait laid out to catch fish!
And now, those young people who came here after them are clearly fish that have been lured in!
"Also, do you see the room we're staying in now?! The luxury in this room is such that even the presidential suite of any high-end hotel might not reach this standard!"
Since the guest rooms are like this, then the children, as the owners, should be staying in even more luxurious rooms!
But……"
