Chapter 2407
Xyla Quest gave Leon Batton a high-five to celebrate their victory.She then smiled and saluted him. “You were great!”“Of course,” he smiled smugly before asking, “Another round?”She was even more eager to play now.She quickly formed a team and invited her son to join her.Just like that, the two quickly became addicted to the game.The feeling of finding an equally capable teammate compelled them to play until half-past ten in the evening.To avoid distractions, they even silenced their phones.Stanley Batton noticed their absence at home and started calling to look for them, but neither answered.They had completely lost track of time.After winning another match at eleven o’clock, Xyla finally shifted her gaze to the time in the bottom right corner of the computer screen.She was shocked that they had been at it for hours and hadn't realized it had gotten so late.“We should stop. Look at the time,” she gazed at Leon in alarm. As she spoke, her stomach began to growl.

Stanley Batton decided to yell at his son since he couldn’t yell at his wife.“Sorry, Dad,” Leon Batton apologized sheepishly.“Don’t blame him. I’m at fault, too,” Xyla Quest stated.Lynette Batton walked over to her father and tugged his hand. “All right, Dad. Don’t be upset. Mom and Leon forgot about the time because they were too engrossed in the game.”Stanley’s heart softened at his daughter’s pleading.He no longer felt like yelling at Leon.Although, he still frowned slightly and complained. “I don’t know what to do with you.”With that, he caught his son's gaze. “I won’t punish you since you made your mother happy, but don’t lead your mother astray again.”His son nodded even though he believed that his mother had willingly joined him of her own accord. Leon was used to stuff like this since he was a kid, so he didn't let it bother him.“To be honest, I joined him willingly,” his mother admitted.“All right, let’s not talk about this. We’ll head home since it's so

Leon Batton chuckled. “Yeah, I know it will be a tough journey ahead, but I won’t look back.”“I know you can be successful at it. You’re the best I've seen, Leon,” Xyla Quest told him sincerely.“Thank you for supporting my dream, Mom,” he said softly, feeling his heart warmed by her unwavering support.She smiled in return. “You don’t need to thank me. Just do your best, and don’t think I’ll go easy on you simply because you joined my club. That won’t be happening.“I’ll treat you the same as I do everyone else,” she added.He nodded.“Yours and Lynette’s identities have always been a secret. I think that should remain a secret even after you’ve joined us,” she went on.He nodded again, knowing that his parents wanted to protect them from the public's eyes. The siblings had always followed this rule ever since they were kids.Leon used his original name all these years, but his personal information had always indicated he was from a regular wealthy family.Hence, nobody susp

“Good,” Stanley Batton said with another nod.Xyla Quest had always been the one to call the shots in their family. Her husband agreed with whatever she said because she was the boss.That was how things worked from the start, and it remained true until now.“My parents invited us over for dinner tomorrow, including the kids,” he informed her.“Okay, sure.”“They haven’t seen them in a while, so they have missed them,” he added. “They also missed you since you haven’t been there in a week.”Xyla smacked her forehead guiltily when she heard him. “Oh, dear. Look at me. I’ve been meaning to visit, but I keep forgetting because of work.”“It’s fine. You’ll be there tomorrow.”“Yeah.”“Dad and Mom know you’re busy, so they understand,” he assured her.“Yeah, they really are,” she replied with a sigh.“Oh, yeah. Do you know what else Mom told me when she called today?”Xyla seemed curious. “What?”Her husband shook his head helplessly. “She told me to treat you better and buy yo

Leon Batton and Lynette Batton woke up very early the next morning.After breakfast, he drove his sister to their high school, Royal High, in his navy blue Lamborghini.Their high school was renowned for having students from royal families and the elite.The twins were given ordinary identities by their family, but they were still the popular kids in the school due to their good looks.Their arrival at the school compound attracted much attention as soon as his car appeared.Boys kept staring at Lynette in the passenger seat while girls ogled at Leon behind the wheel.Suddenly, the crowd was abuzz and students began talking—“Leon is so handsome. How is he so handsome?”“Isn’t he the most handsome guy in school, after all? He really is attractive.”“Did you guys know that a topic appeared on Weibo yesterday? It’s about all the good-looking male students from schools all over the country. Everyone talked about the most handsome students from their own schools. So, I shared a pi

Leon Batton frowned at that. “Can’t we just throw them into the rubbish bin in the school?”Lynette Batton quickly shook her head. “How could we do that? You should know how much thought everyone put into those love letters. We can’t just throw them away in school.“Love at this age is in its purest form. Even if we don’t wish to respond, we shouldn’t trample over it,” she added.Her brother nodded along as he thought she had a point.“Don’t you agree?” she asked.“Yeah, you’re right.”Then, he ruffled her hair affectionately, making her recall their close relationship when they were kids. “You used to adore me when we were younger, even though you acted cool in front of me most of the time,” she reminisced. “Back then, you never showed how you really felt. Now, you are still affectionate with me like you used to be. Only, you no longer act cool. You’re an absolute sweetheart now,” she went on. Leon smirked. “People change.”She shrugged before nodding. “Yeah. The only thi

Right then, their tables were full of love letters.It made for a troubling sight as they exchanged glances, wondering what to do with them.Leon Batton wanted to throw everything away, but he remembered what Lynette Batton said earlier and decided against it.Before they could speak, their classmates had gathered around their seats to shower them with compliments.“Lynette, you have such great hair. You could be a model in a shampoo commercial.”"Your tie looks very neat, Leon. It looks even better than the other guys' in the class.”The siblings were used to such compliments and didn’t take them seriously.At the same time, students from other classes had also assembled outside their classroom entrance, hoping to have a closer look at them.Nobody would dare claim to be more attractive than Leon and Lynette in this school. They even seemed well-liked by everyone there.Right then, there was a lot of commotion outside the classroom. The bell rang, indicating that a lesson w

“If so, I’ll never bother you during my lessons again,” the mathematics teacher said.Leon Batton smiled instantly. “Okay. You said so.”“I did indeed. Come and answer it.”The teacher specifically prepared this question for them. She wanted them to realize instantly that they still needed to learn.She thought they’d been too arrogant lately and did whatever they wanted just because they were academically gifted.This question was based on content taught at universities, making it more difficult than usual.It should be impossible for the duo to answer it correctly.Meanwhile, they seemed calm as they stood up and walked toward the podium.After that, they picked up their pens and began writing down their answers on both ends of the whiteboard.Everyone started muttering then—“She’s trying to make life difficult for them. They can’t possibly answer it correctly.”“This isn’t even high school content. No matter how smart Lynette and Leon are, they can’t answer it. Right?”
