Resurrecting the Genius Within
Chapter 259 Genuinely Menacing
A couple of days later, Ethan returned to Taragon City for school.
Jack had been pestering Isabelle about Ethan, concerned that he might be an immature kid. However, he was pleasantly surprised to find Ethan a composed and quiet young man.
Spotting Jack opening the door, Ethan wondered if he was in the right place.
After verifying, he cautiously asked in a foreign language, "Who are you?"
Jack responded in English. "Ask your sister."
Ethan was taken aback.
"You must be Ethan, right? We're friends of your sister and staying here for a bit," White Owl intervened, stepping out to help him with his bags.
"Tm White Owl, and this is Jack. Let me take your luggage," White Owl offered, grabbing Ethan's bags.
Ethan glanced at them before stating, "I'm Ethan."
Just then, Isabelle descended the stairs.
Ethan approached her and presented some toffee pudding he had purchased in Norward City, "Isabelle, you want these?"
Isabelle used to enjoy them, but she hadn't indulged in them since her demeanour changed.
"Did you get these just for me?" Isabelle accepted the pudding, tasted it, and passed the remainder to Jack.
Although she no longer liked them, Jack had a penchant for such snacks, particularly junk food like chips, soda, and burgers.
Jack inspected the pudding, feeling its texture peculiar. He took a bite, finding its flavour unusual as well.
Noticing Jack's interest, Ethan discreetly said, "Isabelle, I'm surprised you have a foreign friend."
Isabelle responded, "Yeah, isn't he adorable? He reminds me a bit of you. So, Jack, now that you've seen. him, what do you think? Still sulking?" Ethan was puzzled. Seen me? What does that mean?
Jack gazed at Ethan for a moment before asking, "How's your fighting skills? Can you handle a gun?*
White Owl coughed.
Ethan was bewildered, but Isabelle simply suggested, "Let's eat."
As Isabelle led Ethan upstairs, he questioned, "Isabelle who are they? Why are they here? Is it safe?"
Isabelle reassured, "They're just visiting Taragon City for a few days. No need
worry."
Naturally, she couldn't disclose to Ethan that there might be a threat to him and that White Owl and Jack

Their watchfulness had to be discreet, allowing Ethan to attend school, study for exams, and maintain a normal life without disruption.
Isabelle stepped into the room, offering him two envelopes filled with cash. "One's from me, the other from George."
Ethan inquired, "Isabelle, are you and Mr. Harris officially together?"
She glanced at the envelopes, urging him, "Just take them."
Handing Ethan a watch, she added. This watch is waterproof. You can wear it even in the shower,"
Ethan loved the gift. Tll never take it off."
With just two days left before school
Jack and White Owl and realised they were decent folks.

However, Jack seemed a bit unpredictable and peculiar.
While Ethan did his homework in his room, Jack perched on the windowsill, toying with a dart.
If it had been someone else, Ethan might have considered the dart to be a harmless plaything. But in Jack's hands, it felt genuinely menacing.
It wasn't just the dart; Ethan had also spotted Jack playing with a knife and once saw a bullet fall out of his pocket, which Jack casually picked up and tossed around. Jack also had a habit of following him.
Whether Ethan took out the trash or fetched water from the kitchen, Jack was there, observing him. Now, Jack had even trailed him into his room.
Despite Ethan's attempts at conversation, Jack seldom replied. His demeanour reminded Ethan of an aristocratic cat, sporting a blue bow tie and maintaining an air of detachment. Ethan asked, "Why do you always follow me?"
Jack remained silent and ignored him.
During dinner, White Owl noticed Jack tagging along behind Ethan and advised him, "Don't disrupt his
studies.
Jack retorted, "I'm not bothering him.
Later that evening, Isabelle took Jack out while White Owl and Ethan stayed at the villa.
As Jack watched the scenery pass by, he asked, "Where are we headed?"
Isabelle replied, "Just for a drive/nowhere specific."
Jack asked again, "Why didn't you bring White Owl?"
Isabelle responded, "I prefer your company, Jack."

Isabelle chuckled. "No Name is even more audacious than me, and you're fine with her. You even enjoy her. company. Oh, I remember now. You didn't like her at first either." Jack objected, "That's not true. How do you know so much?"
Isabelle quipped, "You've asked me that many times."
Jack fell silent. After a while, he asked. "Can I drive?"
Isabelle pulled over and swapped seats with Jack, allowing him to take control of the wheel.
