For a moment, no one dared to move, nor did anyone try to comfort Grady Wright.
"Remember to be kind to others," Glenn Hutchinson’s cold eyes flashed, a threat unmistakably apparent in the depth of his dark gaze. His voice was as chilling as frost, yet each word was clearly pronounced, causing their bodies to stiffen in place, "lest you bring disaster upon yourself."
Absolute deterrent, absolute threat.
Even the calmest person would be shaken to their core by him. His aura took the form of an invisible palm, grasping their hearts; it felt like he could snuff out their lives at any moment, should he will it.
They had faced many crises before, but never the face of death.
Yet Glenn Hutchinson, and even Flossie Wright, could effortlessly take lives. It was their survival skill, an ability far beyond their reach.
Even Benjamin Murphy, who was only tangentially involved in this matter, couldn’t wipe out the lingering fear in his heart. He was even somewhat afraid to look at these two people. They merely stood there, akin to gods of death.
The three of them were shocked into silence. Only Grady Wright, overwhelmed by the sudden terror, unexpectedly began to cry loudly.
There were passersby around, but all they did was look curiously, none daring to approach.
"Hutchinson!"
At last, a voice filled with surprise rang out, breaking the tense and dangerous atmosphere.
It wasn’t Merry Otiz’s group who spoke, but a man walking from the side. He was dressed in a precise black suit, a smile on his handsome face. His demeanor contained a slight hint of arrogance, much like a dandy who had grown up in the fertile soil of Capital City.
"Godfather!"
The little Hutchinson, who had seemed lost just moments ago, cheered up when he saw this flamboyant man, and sent him a greeting. His lovable demeanor was adorable, enough to melt anyone’s heart.
"Flynn!" the man greeted, his smile deepening as he saw the cute and obedient little Hutchinson. He crouched down naturally, lifting the little boy into his arms. After glimpsing the child’s slight frown, he laughed and teased, "What’s wrong? Do you detest your godfather’s embrace after being away for just a few days?"
Little Hutchinson turned his head away in an act of defiance, ignoring the man’s jest.
The man didn’t continue to tease, but instead glanced ambiguously at Glenn and Flossie’s indistinct posture. He smiled at Flossie, then turned his attention to Glenn, "When did you form a family? And you still have the time for a date here?"
"Just passing by."
Glenn Hutchinson raised his eyes, not giving him any face.
"Ah, couple outfits?" The man seemed accustomed to Glenn’s attitude, and wasn’t taken aback by his coldness. Noticing their matching outfits, he raised an eyebrow in surprise. Then he turned to the child, playfully pinching his nose, "Flynn, your daddy doesn’t want you anymore, would you like to come home with godfather?"
Little Hutchinson pushed his hand away, refusing without hesitation.

The rejection was so straightforward that the man briefly looked heartbroken but quickly recovered, turning to Glenn Hutchinson, "Great timing. A new toy has arrived for my godson, why don’t you two come with me to pick it up?"
He didn’t pay any mind to the bystanders or immaterial figures around them. Though he missed their previous conversation and confrontation, he could guess from Glenn’s expression that they weren’t important players.
