Chapter 172 Swedum


    At that moment, Johny''s mind was going to explode!


    He remembered the scene when Kirs proposed to her. It never urred to him that they slept together.


    Ceres had boundaries.


    "You''re lying!" Johny said fiercely.


    However, Ceres narrowed her eyes and smiled. "For more than three years, we have been together


    day and night. I am lonely, he is alone, and we go together to the bar sometimes, isn''t that normal for


    our age?"


    Johny stared at Ceres, he became outrageous!


    Ceres knew this would make him uneasy.


    She knew he would not go near to a woman who had been with another man. So she lied to avoid him.


    Johny straightened up, Ceres followed.


    She tidied up her clothes and said, "Johny, I will send you another paper. My patience is on the clock,


    hope you think about it!"


    Ceres left his office.


    Johny punched the table angrily!


    Why did she hate him so much? They used to have such a good spark, could it be over?


    He betrayed her once but all the goodness he had done to her didn''t make amends.


    ...


    City M.


    In a vi in the city center, Ceres''s assistant, Nick, picked up the phone.


    He answered her with caution, "Yes, he has been doing very well in kindergarten. He adjusted to the


    environment. He said he have missed you. Except that everything is in order, don''t worry."


    The boy was ying with his fake guns while Nick was on the phone. And he looked at Nick


    mischievously.


    This little boy was called Swedum and this name came from his mother who wished him the best with a


    blessing.


    He resembled the exquisite look of his mother, Ceres. When he entered kindergarten, a lot of little girls

    had a crush on him.


    Nick was relieved when he hung up the phone. "Kid, are you happy now?" he asked.


    Swedum shook his head, "Not yet. I want you to take me to Imperial City."


    And that made Nick flinch, "Swedum, are you serious? You want me to lose my job and my girlfriend,


    don''t you, my boy?"


    Ceres was not at home, so Nick took his girlfriend with him in the middle of the night. This secret was


    Swedum''s power over Nick.


    "If you don''t take me, that is fine. But don''t me me when I tell my mom about the secret, and this!"


    He was holding a condom!


    Swedum had no idea what it was but Nick''s reaction made him realize this thing could be used as a


    bargaining chip.


    Nick looked at the condom and freaked out. If Ceres knew her young child was exposed to this, she


    would kill him!


    He was with his girlfriend for not so long and he couldn''t afford to lose his job.


    "Oh, my boy! Give me a break! Please!"


    Swedum shook his head and said, "You buy the ticket to Imperial City and I will let go of this."


    "But your mom told me you can''t go to Imperial City! She wants you to be here and attend sses."


    "Well, I don''t see a problem in this. I can handle it if you take me there. Please, Nick!"


    Swedum was smiling excitedly.


    Nick was softened by him. He couldn''t say no, so he bought two tickets to Imperial City and they began


    hitting on the road.


    Along the journey, Nick kept a close eye on him, made sure he was safe and sound.


    He would be doomed if something bad happened to the boy.


    It was the first time Swedum took a train. He was high-spirited along the way and behaved very well.


    They descended from the train, headed towards the resting area. "Swedum, are you thirsty? How


    about I get you a bottle of water and make a phone call to your mom? She may pick us from the train


    station."


    Nick hadn''t been to Imperial City. Everything around here was unfamiliar to him. Plus, he didn''t know


    where Ceres live. So he had to call her first.


    "Don''t call mom! I don''te here to see her, Ie here to look for my dad!" Swedum dered.


    He was looking at Nick, naughtily.


    Nick was confused, "Oh my god, kid. Do you know who he is and where to find him?"


    Nick had been doing this job for a while, but he never heard about Swedum''s biological father. Kirs had


    been in love with Ceres, but he was not the father.


    There were some rumors about the father. But rumors were rumors after all. No one knew in the end


    who the father was.


    "I don''t know," replied Swedum.


    "So how will you get to him?"


    Swedum took out a box from his backpack, "By this."


    Nick opened it. It was a diamond ring!


    "Oh boy! You stole this?"


    Nick didn''t know the price tag. But it was big and shiny. That must be worth a million. He couldn''t


    believe they arrived here with such a precious item.


    What if they lost it? How could he survive then! He was literally going to cry out.


    "My mom puts on the ring all the time. Who would give her that except for my dad? I think it is my dad.


    Before she left, she took the ring away on purpose. It means my dad is in Imperial City, or she wouldn''t


    have to take off the ring! I can find my dad with this ring."


    Swedum was proud of his n.


    "But the city is too big. It is impossible to stop every stranger in the street and ask them about the ring."


    Nick rolled his eyes. Kids were kids after all.


    "Of course we don''t go like that! This ring is pretty expensive. They don''t have it in some average


    jewelry stores. It must be a fancy jewelry shop. I''ve looked up the fancy ones. In Imperial City, there are


    ten of them, and they all belong to three headquarters. So, we only need to find the three stores. So


    easy."


    Swedum exined it clear and cut.


    "Even if we find out the store, we can''t identify who bought it," Nick stuttered.


    Swedum crossed his arms and stared at him, "Nick, what is the thing above your neck?"


    "Above my neck..."Nick literally touched his neck and cried out, "It must be my head!"


    "Yes, so use it! It is a good thing!"


    Nick got it now. He was yed by Swedum!
