Chapter 173 Well Done

Neil smiled brightly while holding Nancy in his arms. Nancy was well-behaved and many years younger than him. So he and Marcus regarded her as a daughter.

They would do whatever they could to offer her the best.

It was a huge and difficult project to create an underground world that contained plants from different regions of the world. Fortunately, the instruments that Neil brought back were very advanced and could perfectly simulate the conditions required by various plants.

In the early stage, the instruments needed a large amount of electricity to operate. But after the plants here grew up, these instruments would automatically obtain the energy from the plants to keep running. Thus, it formed a favorable cycle that was beneficial to both plants and devices.

Nancy followed Neil like a shadow over the past few days and often stayed in the basement.

James and Marcus felt jealous of Neil. They looked at Neil, nursing a grievance.

Neil bore the discontent of his father and his eldest brother while enjoying Nancy's dependence on him. So he felt aggrieved and happy at the same time.

In the afternoon, Neil was asked to go to the study and was informed about Symon.

Symon would always be a hidden danger if he couldn't be found.

"The police found a corpse that was tortured and killed in the east of a residential district."

Shawn showed the identity of the deceased with his computer.

"The deceased was named Brian Collins. He was hung from the ceiling upside down in his home and his mouth was taped. There were hundreds of slashes on his body, each of which was not fatal. He was hung up and tortured for three days. He died on the third day."

"Are you sure Brian was killed by Symon? Why did Symon use a different method to commit a crime this time?"

Symon would use more gentle and time-consuming ways to kill others, but he would involve many innocent people.

But this time, it seemed that Symon killed Brian by himself in such a cruel way.

Shawn nodded, "Symon was found in the surveillance camera and he intentionally didn't avoid the camera. According to the data in the police station, Brian has a son. But the police couldn't find his son. His wife died seven days ago. An autopsy revealed that there were many fractures and signs of her being beaten for a long time on her body. Brian not only drinks and gambles but also commits domestic violence. He often hits his wife and son."

James frowned, "Symon has a similar family background to Brian."

So this was why Symon killed Brian. Symon probably had kidnapped Brian's son.

The police were now trying their best to arrest Symon. Nowadays, people lived in a law-based society. Once Symon was caught, he would spend the rest of his life in prison despite his excuse to kill others.

Neil was silent for a while and said, "I have a way to track Symon down."

Symon was like a time bomb both for society and for the Brook family.

Neil would never leave such hidden trouble to his family.

He gave Marcus a USB flash drive. Then he just immersed himself in preparing the botanical garden for Nancy.

It was almost December and the whole city was bustling with excitement. The street lights were decorated with many beautiful adornments related to the coming new year.

Nancy put on more clothes for the cold weather and went shopping with her mother to welcome the new year. This time, they waited for Adam and Louis to have winter holidays and went shopping together.

All of them went to a shopping mall merrily.

"You should also try some red clothes."

Nancy pointed to some clothes and looked at her elder brothers with a grin.

Louis didn't hide his dislike, "No."

Then he looked at Ivan, "Do you want to try those clothes ?"

Ivan shook his head, "I don't want either. Why should I try them?"

Adam said arrogantly, "I look good in whatever I wear, but these clothes are so ugly. I dislike them."

Martin unzipped his down jacket to show his red sweater.

To be honest, the color red only suited a good-looking one.

Louis added charm to this ordinary red sweater. He had a remarkable temperament and the color red flattered his fair skin.

He squatted down, wearing a mask. Then he pulled Nancy into his arms and wrapped his down jacket around her.

"Little piggy, come over and warm yourself."

Nancy snorted, "I'm not a little piggy!"

Nancy's cheeks puffed up in anger and mumbled like an angry hamster. She pretended to be fierce, but it didn't work.

Nancy looked around and didn't find Neil, "Where's Neil?"

Windy pointed to a clothes store.

Everyone looked in the direction where the clothes store was, and they found that Neil was checking out with a few shopping bags. The red clothes hanging in the store had disappeared.

Everyone was stunned.

In such a short time, Neil bought all the red clothes!

The clerk of the store watched Neil leaving with a bright smile. Neil shook the shopping bags in his hands happily.

"Don't worry. Now we all have red clothes."

Louis' dislike was written over his face. He didn't want to wear red clothes because he thought they would make him look stupid!

Windy said decisively, "Everyone should dress in red during the New Year Holiday!"

Then these clothes were taken away by a bodyguard to be loaded into the car. He talked to his earphones while walking.

"Drive here a car with a higher capacity quickly!"

The bodyguard thought Neil was too crazy about shopping. Neil looked like the kind of person who was thrifty and steward. He never expected Neil to squander money like this!

Nancy and her family kept buying all kinds of things needed to celebrate the new year at home. In fact, they could just make a call and ask someone to send what they needed home. But it would lose the fun of shopping.

The Brook's villa was lively this year. So they went shopping themselves to have more fun.

It was almost before New Year's Eve that all the needed things were bought. All the members of the Brook family got up early in the morning. Some were busy decorating the villa and others were preparing dinner. Even Marcus and James needn't go to work.

Ivan and Shawn directly brought their parents here to celebrate the new year together. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

It contributed to a big family reunion. The Brook's villa was more bustling.

Nancy was running around the house to help decorate. Adolph followed her closely and kept barking merrily.

Adam was more of a hindrance than a help, so his family stopped asking him for help.

"Adam! Walk the dog with Nancy! "

Adam snorted arrogantly, "It's your loss to refuse my help!"

But he was willing to walk the dog with his younger sister.

Nancy wrapped herself up warmly, wearing a scarf, a hat, and a pair of gloves. She handed Adolph's leash to Adam.

Nancy smiled sweetly, "Adam, walk Adolph on a leash. I will hold Harley in my arms."

Nancy and Adam were too young to help to do housework. So they went out to walk the dog Adolph, otherwise, Adolph would cause trouble.

They went out with Adolph and several cats. There was a bird hidden in Nancy's hat. Nancy also took her small backpack.

In her backpack were the food for cats and dogs and her snacks.

"Adam, have some candies. "

Nancy took out a few candies from her backpack.

"You just give me one?"

"How many candies do you want? Marcus said that we can't eat too much, or our teeth will ache."

Adam said, "Don't worry. I've already grown permanent teeth."

Nancy stared at Adam and asked with anticipation, "My teeth won't decay anymore after growing permanent teeth, right?"

Adam talked irresponsibly, "That's right. We will lose our baby teeth and most of them will easily decay. After that, the permanent teeth replace the ones falling out. So we can eat candies as we want."

"I got it! When will I start to grow permanent teeth? Will it be painful?"

Adam said confidently, "Not at all!"

But in fact, his gums bled when he began to lose his baby teeth. He was frightened and thought he was about to die. He also cried and asked his mother if he should make a will.
