Tony had planned to resolve the conflict between Darknetz and Alpha Kilian after the recent incident.
After all, Alpha Kilian was slowly retiring from the underworld human world, as he soon would become the Alpha King and nothing was unsolvable if both Darknetz and Alpha Kilian did not mind sustaining minor losses financially. Tony looked forward to the day whereby both parties could let bygones be bygones.
However, the current circumstance seemed to be a lot more complicated than expected.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Tony felt his temples throb, as he had never been overcome by such helplessness.
Right then, Thalia shot him a meaningful glance. “I’m telling you this now so you’ll be mentally prepared. If something happens between Holden and Alpha Kilian, I hope you’ll be able to get a grip on yourself and don’t blame Holden!”
Tony looked up at Thalia. Don’t blame Holden? At most, I can try to comprehend it, but I can’t hold myself back from resenting it.
Needless to say, Tony knew well about himself. If anything were to happen to any of them, he would not be able to take it.
After much contemplation, he asked Thalia solemnly, “Do you think there’s any other misunderstanding?”
“Misunderstanding? I don’t think so, considering how Holden looks.” Thalia shook her head.
Tony furrowed his brows and sank into deep thought for a long time.
Soon, he made up his mind to get to the bottom of the matter. I must leave no stones unturned to resolve the matter. Otherwise, I’ll be in a tight spot!
At the sight of Tony’s contorted face, Thalia said softly, “I didn’t plan to tell you this, and I never intended to make things difficult for you. I’m only worried that Holden will turn to seek you out for payback instead if you suddenly announce your relationship with Alpha Kilian one day.”
“I understand that you’re concerned about me. Don’t worry. I’ll try to get to the bottom of the matter. By then… I’ll just take one step at a time.”
“Just go with the flow, okay?”
Tony narrowed his eyes as his lips curled into a sneer. Go with the flow? No way! I’ll never succumb to anything! I’m going to build my own world with my own hands! It will be a mighty world where I’ll be able to protect my loved ones!
Thalia seemed to be able to sense Tony’s displeasure and turned to steal a glance at him.
It was then he planned to grab some sleep after shifting to a comfortable posture. His mind was all over the place, and he needed a good sleep before he started racking his brain on the matter.
“Oh yeah! What did you tell Alpha Kilian when he asked you to stay away from me?” Thalia asked abruptly.
“Oh! I’ve almost forgotten to tell you. I told him you were my martial arts instructor. Don’t let it slip your mind, okay?” Tony mumbled, his eyes closed.
“What?”
Martial arts instructor?
Thalia turned and asked in disbelief, “He didn’t even suspect anything? Has he ever come across such a gorgeous martial arts instructor?”
There was only the sound of Tony’s even breathing.
Thalia was dumbfounded. Huh? Has he dozed off?
She could not help but let out a deep sigh when she caught a glimpse of Tony tilting his head with a frown on his dainty face.
He had been preoccupied with Nelly’s matter and had hardly slept for the past few days. Now that he could finally have a good sleep, he had other things to worry about.
Thalia wondered if it was right of her to tell him about that.
Anyway, I bet the mighty creator has a point about placing us in predicaments, so we can gain lifelong self-advancement in overcoming obstacles in our lifetime. Tony is no ordinary kid. I’m sure there will be a way for him to sort out the issue!
At that thought, Thalia turned up the temperature in the car and drove slower.
Meanwhile, Alpha Kilian was in a good mood after having chatted with Tony for the whole night.
There was not the slightest bit of sleepiness on his face. In fact, he felt even more refreshed than before.
On the way back to the hospital, he bought two sets of breakfast and headed straight to Nelly’s ward.
After the previous incident, Nelly had been keeping her guard up even in her sleep. Thus, she woke up right away at the slightest noise.
“Why are you here again?” She frowned at the sight of Alpha Kilian.
“Ah, you’re awake? Good timing. Let’s have breakfast,” Alpha Kilian uttered jubilantly. He looked refreshed and was obviously in high spirits.
He walked over to adjust the overbed table and placed it right in front of her.
As Alpha Kilian moved about in front of her, her gaze landed on his shirt. Even though she did not see it clearly the day before, she had a feeling he was still wearing the same outfit.
“Didn’t you sleep last night?”
“Yeah, I didn’t.”
“Did you sneak into others’ rooms again last night?” Nelly questioned without a second thought.
Alpha Kilian was rendered speechless. Seconds later, he turned to look at Nelly through narrowed eyes. “I do what I want, but I’m in no way a nasty person.”
Nelly was at a loss for words. Who knows if he really has something in that dirty mind of his?
At that moment, Alpha Kilian flashed a smirk. “Why? Are you afraid that I’ll sneak into other people’s rooms?”
“Just do what you want,” Nelly scoffed.
Alpha Kilian was undoubtedly in a jovial mood. He leaned closer and whispered to her, “Don’t worry. I’ll only sneak into your room in the future.”
Nelly looked daggers at him. “Go ahead if you have a death wish.”
“I’m more than willing to meet my end because of you.”
“I can grant your wish at any time.”
The blissful smile on Alpha Kilian’s face widened when he saw Nelly pouting her lips in frustration.
After placing the food on the overbed table, he looked at her gently. “Take your breakfast now.”
Nelly shot him a look and gladly accepted his offer. It’s a waste of food if I don’t eat it.
Seeing that, Alpha Kilian started digging in too.
Moments later, he piped up, “I met Tony right after I left last night!”
Nelly momentarily stiffened before she continued eating without batting an eyelid.
“I chatted with him the whole night, and we only parted with each other a while ago!”
“Oh,” Nelly responded nonchalantly without any change in her countenance.
“Don’t you have anything to ask me?” Alpha Kilian frowned.
“No,” Nelly replied placidly, devoid of expression.
If it had been Donna, she might have been worried about her being abducted. However, since it was Tony, there was nary a thing she needed to be worried about.
“He didn’t say anything nasty to you, did he?”
Alpha Kilian remained silent.
“If he did, don’t take it to heart. He’s just worried about me,” Nelly added.
Alpha Kilian pursed his lips, recalling how Tony had warned him the night before. He was thankful that he did not take the tough road and go hard with Nelly. Otherwise, he would have really suffered a huge defeat.
Even so, he could not help feeling green with envy at a self-assured Nelly.
“Aren’t you worried that they’ll choose me?”
After swallowing a mouthful of food, Nelly gazed at him and replied, “There could be a possibility for that. Ben mentioned that he will follow you willingly if you insist on having him by your side. He will grab the opportunity to inherit your property before coming back to me and giving everything to me.”
Alpha Kilian was bereft of speech.
