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.”
