Chapter 424
He still shivered recalling the man charging at Will. He was also annoyed that his father had spanked him.
If we can't defeat the enemy with one strike, we shouldn't attack. Otherwise, we risk counterattack. Theo flopped down, muttering, "We're still not tough enough. If I were 6.5 feet tall and incredibly strong, how could some measly spy defeat me?"
Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed such a roundabout method to catch the spy. He was annoyed that his father had spanked him.
Byron scoffed at Theo's comment. "You still don't understand what you did wrong. So what if trade secrets were stolen? It's just stuff. But did you consider what would happen to your mother if anything happened to you?"
The boys fell silent. Their mother was fragile and needed their protection. How could they make her cry?
Will looked at Byron with watery eyes. "Dad, I'm sorry. I messed up. I won't be reckless again."
Theo sniffed. "I know I was wrong."
Byron's expression softened. Straightening their clothes, he said sincerely, "I know you're sharp, but smart people need to be cautious and wait until they're older."
He continued, "Sometimes, you don't have to do everything yourself. That's the dumbest way. Leveraging others' strengths is much more effective." The boys nodded. Byron wasn't concerned if they fully understood.
They were kids, but their skills were advanced. Otherwise, they wouldn't have cooperated so well. Maybe it was luck, but luck is part of strength. After fixing their clothes, Byron checked Will's bulging pocket. "Hand over the gun."
Will obeyed.
"What was your biggest mistake?"
Will hesitated. "I shouldn't have shot at others?" He'd thought he could avoid getting caught and that the location was safe. He hadn't considered anything else. Byron noted Will's red palm. "Wrong. When someone threatens your life, don't just fire a warning shot. Make sure they're hurt."
"You got lucky this time and scared them off. But if your opponent isn't scared, things go badly quickly. Being soft on the enemy is being cruel to yourself. Next time, injure the other person instead of going easy on them, understand?"
Will understood, but hesitated.
Theo pouted. "If Will killed that guy, Mommy would lose her cute little baby!"
Byron snorted. "Who said anything about killing? There are many ways to incapacitate someone. We don't have to kill them. You don't even grasp this basic logic. Write 500-word self-reflections and turn them in. Think about it." 15:47 Fri, Dec 6

Their faces fell. Theo wrinkled his nose. His grape-sized eyes showed spite. "Didn't we already get spanked?" The self-reflection paper terrified him! He didn't want to write it!
