After a few days Alpha Kilian’s wounds were almost healed. It was just that his behavior annoyed everyone to no end.
At the sight of Nelly, his eyes would glimmer with delight, and he wouldn’t stop calling her “Nelly,” which caused everyone to be filled with disbelief.
That day, Dave was chatting with Alpha Kilian downstairs about some serious matters.
“Now that Boss has assumed control of Midnight fang pack, I heard he has earned more loyalty from the men than General Will did,” Dave related.
Alpha Kilian responded with a smirk, “After biding his time for decades to get where he is now, he’s naturally going to do his best to maintain his position.”
“I managed to capture some men from Midnight fang pack. During the interrogation, they revealed that Boss hasn’t given up looking for you and has already extended his reach here. Do you want to see them?” Dave asked.
“There’s no such need,” Alpha Kilian replied. “It’s normal for him not to give up. In fact, it would be strange if he did.”
“What did you do to him to make him hate you so much?” Dave asked curiously.
Alpha Kilian pondered for a moment. “Hmm… Maybe it’s because I stole a batch of his goods? Kidnapped him and shot him? After the exchange, I made a fool out of him?”
“No wonder he wants to kill you.”
A smile flashed across Alpha Kilian’s face. “That will depend on whether he’s even capable of doing it.”
“To a warrior, humiliation is worse than death. Alpha Kilian, his animosity toward you is no surprise at all. You truly are as ruthless as ever,” Dave remarked.
Alpha Kilian curled his lips. “It’s clear that he was the one who started it first.” Dave never doubted Alpha Kilian’s words. Since his retirement, he was prepared to leave everything behind. If Boss hadn’t provoked Alpha Kilian first, the latter wouldn’t have gone this far.
“No matter what, you had better maintain your vigilance for the time being.”
Just as Alpha Kilian nodded, he suddenly remembered something. “By the way, Dave, there’s something I need you to verify for me.”
At the sight of Alpha Kilian’s serious expression, Dave inquired, “What is it?”
“Help me find a picture of Boss when he was a child.”
“Why do you need it?”
“I need to confirm something.”
Without further questions, Dave nodded. “All right.”
He had barely finished talking when he looked at Alpha Kilian again. “Wait, shouldn’t you get your pup to help you with this?”
“My pup? Which one?”
“Tony!”
“What for?” Alpha Kilian was clueless.
Dave cocked a curious brow. “Don’t tell me that you still don’t know?”
“Know what?”
Dave burst into sudden laughter upon seeing the look of confusion on Alpha Kilian’s face. His face tells me he doesn’t know anything yet.
“What are you laughing about?” Alpha Kilian stared blankly at Dave.
“I was considering whether to tell you or to continue keeping you in the dark,” Dave teased. “Tell me quickly or I’ll strangle you to death,” Alpha Kilian warned.
After giving it a quick thought, Dave related what happened the other day. When Dave finished, Alpha Kilian was stunned speechless.
“How can it…” said Alpha Kilian a while later. “You don’t believe it?” Dave raised a brow. “I find it hard to do so,” Alpha Kilian replied.
“If I’m not wrong, your pup is probably with Miguel now. Shall we drop by to take a look?” Dave asked. Thereafter, Alpha Kilian gave the other man a complicated look.
Meanwhile, inside the hidden room, Tony -lying down languidly on his reclining chair-was giving out instructions while popping grapes into his mouth.
“Faster. You need to pick up your pace. Given how slow you are, how are you going to become a hacker? You might as well become a programmer,” Tony remarked in a nonchalant tone.
“I’m going as fast as I can.”
“You call that fast?” Tony narrowed his eyes with a contemptuous look on his face. “Why did I ever take in a student who’s as dumb as you are?”
Miguel took a deep breath. “Why don’t you do it?”
“Fine, I will!” Tony got to his feet and slipped into the former’s seat. “Just this once. Watch and learn.”
With that, Tony stared at the screen as his fingers danced across the keyboard at incredible speed. Finally, he completed the objective in less than a minute.
The demonstration stunned Miguel. “H-How did you do that?”
“Talent,” Tony quipped with a cocked brow. Upon returning to his seat, he raised his eyes to be greeted by the sight of Alpha Kilian and Dave standing behind him.
Their sudden appearance gave him a shock. “Daddy, Alpha Dave…”
Alpha Kilian gave him a grim look. “Come with me.” “Okay.”
After glancing at Miguel, Tony put down his grapes before leaving with Alpha Kilian. When he walked past Dave, he gave the latter an accusatory look but said nothing. At the same time, Miguel trailed his Alpha’s figure with a worried gaze.
“Dave, will my Alpha be all right?” Miguel asked. “Alpha?”
Cognizant that he had said something he shouldn’t have, Miguel retracted his gaze and continued practicing his hacking skills.
When Dave took a look, his eyes narrowed accordingly.
