Chapter 1147 Caught While Escaping

"Good boy, you have good taste!" Barrel was laughing so hard that he could barely breathe.

Mando even said that this kid could run, as if he was looking down on him!

This little kid didn't have much of a mind. When Mando came back, he would definitely need to talk to

him.

"Hey handsome brother, are you hungry? Let me tell you, this hotel's buffet dinner is the best in

Suham. You can eat all the seafood and shrimp you want for free!"

Buffet? And it was free?

It was like music to his ears. His mouth started watering just thinking about it.

"Do you want to try it?" Alistair casually invited him, not wanting to raise any suspicion.

Sure enough, Barrel hesitated. If he went out for dinner now, Alistair would be left alone in the room

with no way to explain himself to Mando and Bryleigh.

"There's also delicious roast goose and braised beef waiting for you. If you're worried about leaving me

here alone we can go together... actually I'm really hungry too because I haven't eaten dinner yet."

He pitifully rubbed his empty stomach and continued, "That guy won't be back for at least half an hour

anyway and there are plenty of people buying food right now."

"Or maybe... you can't make decisions on your own? In that case, let's wait until that guy comes back

before deciding what to do. It'll be a shame though because those dishes will probably be gone by

then."

Alistair knew exactly how to get under Barrel's skin with every word he spoke.

Barrel slapped his thigh decisively, "Nonsense! Who says I can't make my own decisions? No one

controls me! Let's go quickly but don't cause any trouble or say anything stupid or else I'll make sure

regret it later!"

"Don't worry brother. I'm only five years old so how could I possibly outrun you?"

Even though Alistair said that, Barrel knew better than anyone else what was at stake here.

Before leaving, he specifically had Alistair wear a mask and a hat to prevent anyone from recognizing

him. He tore a bedsheet into small strips and used them to tie his own wrist and Alistair's wrist,

ensuring that the boy wouldn't be out of his sight.

"Stay close to me, little brat," Barrel threatened Alistair with a stern look. Despite the variety of delicious

foods in the hotel restaurant, he was still keeping an eye on Alistair trailing behind him.

"Sure thing, big brother. Don't worry, I'll behave," Alistair followed closely, even offering to carry a plate

with lots of delicious food for him.

Everything appeared harmonious and pleasant.

Barrel lowered his head to devour the food, eating voraciously.

"Big brother, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Alistair pouted, looking up at him with an air of arrogance.

Barrel didn't even lift his head and said, "You're a smart kid." Truth be told, he quite liked this little guy.

Unfortunately, Miss had already given the order. The little guy couldn't survive. When he did it later that

night, he would try to make it quick and minimize the boy's suffering.

Seeing him busy eating, Alistair cautiously looked around.

It was already late and it was the last time before the hotel restaurant mealtime. The huge restaurant

had hardly anyone, even the staff were busy with their own tasks.

At this moment, calling for help may anger Barrel and actually make his situation more dangerous...

Alistair pondered for a moment, then suddenly clutched his stomach without warning, his expression

contorted in pain. "Ow, big brother, I'm in so much pain. It feels like I'm about to have diarrhea..."

Barrel was enjoying his food and didn't have time to pay attention to him. "Hold on, wait for me to finish

eating before we talk."

"I can't take it anymore. It really hurts. I need to poop..."

Barrel's face immediately changed color, with a slightly disgusted expression. The food in his mouth no

longer tasted as delicious.

He was afraid that the little guy might actually soil himself, causing an unpleasant situation. So, he

grabbed the back of the little guy's collar and headed to the restroom. Since both of them were tied with

strips of cloth, Barrel was sure that he wouldn't be able to escape. He allowed him to enter a separate

restroom stall, while he stood outside playing on his phone.

The funny videos on TikTok were so addictive that Barrel can't stop watching them and kept laughing

out loud.

But when he finished watching more than ten videos, there was still no movement in the compartment.

Barrel became suspicious and said, "Hey kid, what's taking you so long? Did you fall into the toilet or

something?"

No one answered him, but the long strip of cloth in his hand was still connected to the compartment.

Barrel sensed something was wrong, "What's up, kid?"

He walked over tentatively and glanced at the door of the compartment, then leaned in to listen

carefully. There was not a sound inside.

With a heavy kick, the door of the partition opened.

There was no one inside, the cloth strips were tied to the door, and he didn't know where Alistair to go.

Barrel was confused. The window in the bathroom was wide open, and he quickly ran over to take a

look. They were on the third floor, and although he didn't see any sign of the little one, it was very likely

that he had run out through the window.

"You bastard, if I catch you, I'll beat you to death right away!"

He was angry and turned around to chase after him.

After he walked away, Alistair, who was hiding in the adjacent stall next to the bathroom, finally opened

his mouth and breathed heavily.

It was lucky that Barrel actually believed that he climbed through the window.

Luckily, Barrel didn't know him well. After confirming that Barrel had chased after him and run far away,

there was no sound outside. Alistair cautiously came out of the bathroom stall and ran as fast as he

could.

Barrel rushed out of the hotel's entrance and bumped into Mando who was coming back with three big

bags of hot food in his hand and a cigarette in his mouth.

"Barrel, what are you doing?" Mando asked leisurely.

"Mando, he ran away! He tricked me!" Barrel was so angry that he almost stomped his feet.

This world was too dangerous. Even such a young kid can deceive people! "You only know how to eat.

Can't even take care of a five-year-old kid? Is your head filled with shit?" Mando wanted to slap him

across the face.

Barrel listened quietly without daring to say anything more. "What should we do now? The lady said

that the kid knows her secret. If she finds out that he's gone, she won't spare me."

"What else can we do? We have to chase after him!" Mando looked at the park next to them. "Let's go

through here for a shortcut."

By taking shortcuts, they would have a better chance of catching up with Alistair.

Meanwhile, inside the car...

"We got some news! Where is he now?" Chad's phone call brought hope to everyone present.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Mavis grabbed Chad's arm tightly and asked eagerly, "Chad! Did you get any news about Alistair?

Where is he?"

"He's near Sports Park."

Mavis seemed ecstatic upon hearing this news."Isn't it nearby here?"

Without waiting for anyone else's response or approval, Mavis got off from the car quickly without

looking back. She seemed very determined.

Anthony followed her immediately, and once they arrived at Sports Park, Chad also hurriedly arranged

manpower over before following them over.

The park was crowded with joggers or walkers enjoying their evening stroll while wearing relaxed

expressions on their faces. However, the three people searching for Alistair stood out like sore thumbs

due to their anxious expressions. They were desperately searching for him everywhere but couldn't find

any trace of him anywhere.

Alistair may have good stamina but ultimately still just a child. His short legs could only take two steps

compared others' one step which meant most of his energy had been depleted already.

He couldn't run anymore.

When he turned around again, two guys, a tall one and short one, a fat one and skinny one, were

chasing after him closely.

He continued dragging himself forward because he wasn't familiar with this park area, and running too

fast caused him getting lost, resulting in ending up in an area where there were fewer people.

This undoubtedly cut off all possible escape routes ahead.

There was nothing left except walls blocking his way ahead.

"You little brat, you can run but you cannot hide!"

"That's right, daring to deceive me. I'll show you what I'm made of!"© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
