Genius Children - The Heirs
73. Power and Women
Daniel fainted and the boy was surrounded by several men. Someone then doused it with a bucket of water.
Hissing sounds began to sound. The eyes that had originally closed due to fainting were now slowly opening.
Daniel is almost losing his pain. After the severe torment he had endured, his entire body seemed to be numb.
No matter how much Daniel was tortured, the little boy never once gave up or shed a tear.
Instead, Daniel gave off a cold and terrifying aura.
“Hey boy, what do you see?”
Daniel giggled with defiance and insinuation. Daniel looked at them as if they were flies.
“It seems you have not suffered enough. You haven't given up.”
Men slapped him again, Daniel's face swelled.
Suddenly Daniel braced himself and swung his legs high and gave a ferocious kick to the man's vital members.
“Sial! Tie his legs and whip a hundred times.”
“Can we not whip him. This child will die if we continue to torment him.”
“Are you scared? This kid can still kick me, he won't die if just whipped.”
“It doesn't matter how tough he is. He's still a kid.”
The man immediately extended his hand.
“I didn't expect you to be so strong.”
She was in the cell, Liana slowly started to wake up. He forced himself to wake up immediately. He tried to open his eyes.
As his vision began to clear, he was so shocked to see a small child being beaten and whipped.
Liana furrowed her brows, when she could clearly see the child's face. He got up and rushed forward.
“Daniel. Just stop! Stop hitting him!” liana shouted with all her might.
Daniel was surprised by his voice. He turned around and saw his mother.
“Mother!”
As Daniel called out to Liana, the whip landed crisply on his shoulder. The pain managed to rip his flesh.
When Liana saw everything, her heart felt torn apart.
“Stop! Don't hit him!”
Then one of the guards whispered to his friend.
“If this child dies, it will happen to us.”
Daniel's arm and leg ties were released. And so did Liana. The cell door opened.
Daniel ran and hugged his mother. Daniel could only bury his face in Liana's chest.
“Mother..”
“Mother is here.”
“Mother, sorry Daniel couldn't keep mom.”
Hearing Daniel's words, Liana's heart felt pierced. His hands were shaking and hugging Daniel. Her tears started to drip.
“Should be the mom who apologized for not being able to protect you.”
Daniel raised his face. “Bu, don't cry.”
The bodyguards there turned around and left without a word. Then there was one of the bodyguards who came back with red medicine and gauze.
He just threw it without a word and passed away.
It only took a few minutes, Liana treated the wounds on Daniel's body.
Daniel still maintained his position of tightly hugging his mother.
“Does it hurt?”
“No. But I'm cold ma'am.”
Liana immediately hugged him tightly.
“Do you still feel cold?”
“Slight.”
Daniel was shivering in Liana's arms.

Damian initially plans to save his mother and brother with the bodyguards he has.
But he still thought until finally he decided to work with his father.
Damian was in a dilemma so he called his father.
“Damian.”
“Dad, where are you?”
“No need, don't worry about me. I'm fine.”
Call disconnected, Gideon stared at the screen of the dead phone and looked away at the scene in front of him.
He is currently standing by the window. He's waiting. He was waiting patiently.
The more his enemy made him restless and agitated, the more Gideon needed to remain calm.
Damian quickly arrived at his office. Damian knocked on the door before walking inside.
The little boy noticed his father standing by the window with an emotionless face.
“Dad.”
Gideon turned around and was immediately greeted by Damian's smile.
Gideon walked over and carried Damian in his arms.
Damian understood what his father was going through. Damian understood that even the strongest people have weaknesses.
Though her father doesn't show it but Damian is sensitive enough to catch the man's anxiety and guilt.
Maybe because his father blames him for not being able to protect his family..
“Damian, I'm sorry. Father failed to protect you all.”
Gideon has always prided himself on his ability to plan one step ahead and for being the one in control of the situation.
Now, his weak point was being gripped by someone else.
“Dad no need to apologize. Dad can't predict what events will happen in the future so this isn't all your fault.”
“Damian.”
“Dad, exactly what is their motive?”
Gideon led Damian to the window.
“What they want is the Cross.” family power
“Daddy has many of the most shares in the Cross group. Of course a lot of people are after you and they're taking action now.”
Gideon smiled at Damian. “You are indeed smart.”
“Then if father should choose between power and mother. Which one will you choose?”
“Without me, CGI group will not grow. And I without the CGI group, I wouldn't have anything. Be it strength or wealth if I can't protect my own family, then I don't need it.”
“So if dad is told to hand over CGI to mom..?”
“I'll do it.”
The door was suddenly pushed from the front making Damian and Gideon furthest in shock.
“I'm sorry. President, the Great Lord has passed the crisis period.”
Gideon and Damian rushed to the hospital. But after Gideon arrived at the ward where his grandfather was hospitalized. Gideon's face changed as he looked at the man sitting quietly beside his grandfather's bed.
His father's expression made Damian turn his gaze towards the man.
Kevin slowly turned around with a mysterious floating smile.
“Gideon, are you here? It's been a long time since we met.”
“Why are you here?”
“I'm here to see grandpa's condition.”
Gideon walked closer to the bed.
“Grandpa's condition is getting worse.”
“That's all because you're here.”
“Ha aha ha ha. You are the same as you used to be.”
Kevin laughed before his eyes fell on the pale face of his grandfather who was lying asleep. There was silence there for a while.
“Is there anything you want to tell me?” ask Kevin suddenly.
Damian's eyes narrowed in vigilance. He raised his head towards his father then stared intently at the man opposite them.
“Where are they?”
“What do you mean?”
“I asked where they are?”
“I don't know what you're talking about?”
Gideon nimbly picked up the gun on his waist and pointed it at Kevin's forehead.
“Where are they?” gideon asked sharply and fully.
“Ha ha ha ha aha ha.”
Kevin suddenly laughed coldly. The man laughed without end.
“It looks like you lost your composure.” Kevin stopped laughing and his voice deepened. “Surely you know if you shoot me and I die, they will also die.”
