Chapter 251
"Well then..."

Scott thought about it and came up with a compromise.

"You can send someone there, but it's best for family members to get together during this period, and don't leave alone until the matter is resolved."

Caleb and Scott looked at each other for a few seconds, then nodded slowly.

"Okay," he said, "we're all going to vacation in the country at my grandfather's estate."

Only then did Scott smile with satisfaction, "This way it will be safe, even if there is an invincible situation, I can take everyone to leave together."

Caleb smiled rarely, "That won't happen."

He looks confident.

In this regard, Scott did not say much.

As long as the safety of the family can be ensured, other things can be temporarily put aside.

After the nephew and uncle discussed it, they took action.

Of course, it was Caleb who acted.

Scott's uncle was clearly a man of swift action, and no one would argue with his decisions.

Both Ramos' wife and Adeline's husband came to the villa overnight with their children.

Caleb quickly arranged the car and the person in charge of protection, and they left Madrid overnight in the car.

At Scott's request, the entire family, including a team of bodyguards in security gear, boarded a bus together.

The cousin and the five children of the cousin's family were yelling excitedly along the way, which made the car extremely lively.

Scott sat in the back row with his parents.

Emilia was playing with a pistol in her hand, aiming out the window from time to time.

"It's been a long time since I've fired a gun." She discussed guns in a tone that sounded like she was lamenting her lost youth.

Michael and Scott, father and son, looked at each other in blank dismay, and neither answered her words in tacit understanding.

"Won't our leaving like this arouse the vigilance of the messengers behind the scenes?" Emilia asked again in a low voice.

Michael replied softly, "Caleb declared that this is to protect the safety of his family before the kidnapping case is actually solved."

"That's right," Scott said. "Now the police are investigating a kidnapping case for money."

Emilia nodded.

Scott leaned closer and whispered to her, "Millie, where is that map, is it safe?"

"Of course it's safe. No one knows where it is, except me." Emilia smiled triumphantly.

She put the pistol back in the holster at her waist, and pinched the flesh of Scott's face again, "What's the matter, my dear son? You want to know?"

"I didn't, Mom." Scott replied honestly.

Emilia pinched the flesh on his face and turned it gently, "Remember, that's a gift you can only get when you become an adult."

"Okay, Mom." Scott rubbed his face with his hands.

After driving out of downtown Madrid, the bus headed north, passed through several small towns, and entered the mountains.

When they arrived at the destination, several playful children were exhausted and fell asleep.

Five children, four cousins ​​and two cousins, plus Ramiro, each got out of the car with one in their arms.

"This is the manor left by my grandfather."

Emilia spoke to Michael and Scott, her tone full of nostalgia.

"I spent my childhood here as a child and my grandfather, father and mother all died here."

Speaking of this, she looked a little sad.

Michael took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her shoulders.

Scott's maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother both passed away during the first half of the year.

Fortunately, Emilia came to Spain to accompany them in their last days.

Scott is observing the environment of the manor.

"Millie, Mike, Scott, everyone get in!"

But soon, they walked into the manor following Aunt Flora's call.

Soon, the dark and silent manor became brightly lit.

After arranging the sleeping children, everyone assembled in the hall of the manor.

"I believe everyone knows what happened." Caleb looked at his family members seriously, "No one is allowed to leave the manor until the person responsible for the kidnapping case is arrested."

Flora also said: "Yes! And you!"

She told the two young couples, "You must remember to take care of your children!"

Caleb arranged the work of the bodyguard team, and after that, everyone went back to their rooms.

After taking a shower and changing into pajamas, Scott didn't go to sleep directly, but went upstairs with his wand in his hand and came to the attic.

But when he pushed open the door of the attic, Caleb's voice came from inside, "Why are you here, kid?"

A little red light flickered in the dark attic, and he seemed to be smoking a cigarette in front of the attic window.

"Uncle?" Scott was also a little surprised.

With a snap, the lights turned on, and the arrangement in the attic was displayed before his eyes.

This is an attic furnished as a studio.

All kinds of large and small oil paintings are hung on the walls, and the flower stands and painting utensils on the floor are piled up into mountains.

It's just that it all looks old.

Scott involuntarily began to admire the paintings on the wall, and finally stopped in front of a portrait of a character.

This is a family portrait.

Scott sees Emilia as a child, Caleb as a young man, grandparents whom he has never met, and great-grandfather.

"I heard from Emilia that you also like oil painting?" Caleb pinched off his cigarette and walked to Scott.

Scott nodded, "It's my hobby since childhood."

"You can use this studio when you are here." Caleb said, "Tomorrow I will ask the purchaser to bring new painting tools."

Scott glanced at him, then looked at the signature on the painting, and asked in surprise, "This studio used to be yours?"

Caleb smiled, and reached out to touch the canvas in front of him, "I wanted to be a painter when I was young, but I haven't picked up a paintbrush for decades."

His few words seemed to contain a not-so-good story.

Scott opened his mouth and finally said, "You can also take painting as a hobby."

"No." Caleb put down his hand, turned and left without hesitation, "When it's time to give up, you have to be thorough."

He directly opened the attic door.

"No matter what you have to do, hurry up and go to bed early."

After saying that, he left immediately.

Scott watched his back disappear into the darkness, and couldn't help feeling that his uncle was also a ruthless person.

He walked to the door and closed it with his hand.

Then he raised his wand.

First a silent spell was laid in the attic, and the wand was waved again.

"Flocks of birds."

Crashing... fluttering...

The sound of numerous flapping wings mixed with a rough cry.

Scott's eyes were filled with darkness.

Crows were soon flying all over the attic.

"Quiet."

Scott said loudly.

The crows immediately fell silent and turned to look at him.

"In the past few days, you will stay on guard near this manor. If any suspicious person appears, please come and notify me."

The crows nodded humanely.

"very good."

Scott smiled and opened the attic window.

"You go out."

The crows flew up immediately, flying out of the window in groups and scattered in all directions.

Scott looked at the night sky with black shadows passing by, and couldn't help showing a smile.

The crows trained by Rimbaud are easy to use.

 Sorry, yesterday's update fixed it.

  There are three more today.
