Fabian ran out of the car as soon as he saw what happened. “Alpha Morris!”
But just as he was going towards him, a bright light blinded Fabian. He quickly covered his face with his hands.
When the light faded, Fabian hurried over to Alpha Morris and asked, “Alpha Morris, are you okay?”
But Alpha Kilian ignored his question and focused on the boy in his arms. He asked with concern, “Tony, are you alright?”
Tony was surprised by the explosion, but since he was prepared and protected by Alpha Kilian, he didn’t get hurt.
“I’m fine,” Tony nodded softly.
Alpha Kilian snapped back to reality and looked around. He frowned and shouted, “Ben?”
Thalia, who had fallen on the ground, slowly sat up. She shook her head to clear her head and rubbed her ears, which were ringing from the explosion.
“Alpha Morris, he’s over there!” Fabian pointed at Ben, who was underneath Thalia. Alpha Kilian stood up and walked towards him right away.
“Ben, are you alright?” Alpha Kilian called out anxiously.
When the explosion happened, Alpha Kilian had many thoughts running through his mind. But since Ben was further away, he wasn’t able to reach him in time and could only grab Tony, who was closer.
Alpha Kilian couldn’t bear the thought of something happening to Ben. Finally, Ben lifted his head and said, “Daddy, I’m fine.”
“Ben!” Alpha Kilian sighed in relief after making sure he was okay. “I’m glad you’re okay.”
“Thalia,” Ben said, looking at the woman next to him.
Alpha Kilian remembered something and looked at Thalia. But before he could say anything, Thalia got up and angrily walked towards Tony.
“Tony Jackson! Are you crazy? Couldn’t you have warned us before pressing that button? My head is still ringing from the explosion!” Thalia was furious as she approached him.
Tony was sitting on the ground with a guilty look on his face. As he watched the remaining ashes from the explosion, he felt a strange sensation.
It was his first time experiencing an explosion up close. Although it was dangerous, it also gave him a thrill. He felt excitement coursing through his veins.
“What’s wrong? Are you scared?” Thalia asked, her anger subsiding as she looked at Tony.
Tony chuckled and looked up at Thalia. “Thalia, that explosion was so powerful!” “Did you just realize that?”
Tony nodded, “It’s my first time seeing something like that in real life.”
Thalia was speechless. He’s such an unusual kid. Most children would be scared or shocked by something like that, but Tony’s eyes were filled with pure excitement.
“Just make sure you check your father’s expression first before getting too excited,” Thalia teasingly said as she looked at Alpha Kilian.
Hearing that, Tony snapped back to reality and looked towards Alpha Kilian and Ben. Alpha Kilian’s expression was dark, but it wasn’t too scary.
Tony looked left and right before asking, “Daddy, Ben, how are you feeling?”
Alpha Kilian had been furious with his son just moments ago. But for some reason, seeing the look on Tony’s face calmed him down.
He looked at Tony and then at Ben, seeing no fear on his younger brother’s face. It was as if Ben would have done the same thing if he were in Tony’s shoes. Alpha Kilian had an indescribable glint in his eyes as he looked at the boys.
Maybe they’re just not meant to be ordinary kids.
Alpha Kilian narrowed his eyes at Tony and asked, “What do you think?” He helped Ben up after saying that.
Tony stood up as well and walked towards his father and brother. “Daddy, I didn’t expect the explosion to be so strong. I just wanted to destroy those goods…”
Although Tony was sincere and looked like a child ready to accept his punishment, there was still excitement and determination in his eyes.
Alpha Kilian couldn’t help but comment, “You’re really daring, huh!”
Tony looked up and said formally, “Daddy, I can’t let Darknetz or you suffer any losses. That was the best way to solve the problem.”
“Tony Jackson! Remember, I’m your father!” Alpha Kilian reminded him sternly.
“I know!” Tony continued, “But Daddy, would you let your company or shareholders suffer because of personal reasons?”
Alpha Kilian was speechless.
He had always taken care of his employees and made sure they were safe. That was why his company was successful. But now his own son was asking him this question.
After a deep breath, Alpha Kilian looked at Tony and said, “These goods aren’t important to me, but don’t you worry about wasting your efforts?”
To his surprise, Tony replied nonchalantly, “I don’t really care. My intention was just to teach Midnight Fang Pack a lesson. They’re just a target, not a mission.”
Alpha Kilian’s eyes narrowed as he asked, “You know about Midnight Fang Pack too?”
After thinking for a moment, Alpha Kilian seemed to realize something. “Ah! Now I understand. Darknetz is still in the early stages, they wouldn’t challenge Midnight Fang Pack or go after their goods… So this was your idea!”
That statement wasn’t a question. “Yup,” Tony admitted directly.
Noticing that his father was in a rush, Tony called out to Alpha Kilian at once. “Daddy.”
Alpha Kilian turned around and looked at Tony ‘s innocent face as he replied, “Is there anything else?” “Are you going to look for Nelly ?” Tony asked expectantly.
“Yes.” Alpha Kilian nodded.
“Why don’t you bring us along too?” Tony asked.
Alpha Kilian narrowed his eyes as he scrutinized both Tony and Ben . Even though the boys did not
say much, they were clearly communicating the same message with the look in their eyes.
Alpha Kilian had no idea what would happen during his trip there. However, he was certain that there were potential dangers he might encounter. That was also the reason why Nelly had left without a word. If that was what she had chosen to do, there was no way Alpha Kilian would risk putting the kids in danger.
Tony and Ben were indeed different from other kids, and Darknetz was also a powerful organization. However, to Alpha Kilian , it would always be his duty to protect the boys as their father. That was the tacit understanding between him and Nelly .
At that thought, Alpha Kilian glanced at the two of them and replied lowly, “No.” “Why?” Tony asked, frowning.
He had expected Alpha Kilian to agree to let them tag along after knowing their identities. However, it was just his wishful thinking.
Alpha Kilian looked at the kids with a solemn expression and said, “Boys, I know that the two of you are very worried about Nelly , but do you know why she left without saying goodbye?”
“Because she was worried that we would follow her if we knew about it?” Tony replied.
“Since you are aware of her intentions, you should know that I am on the same page as her on this. To both Nelly and I, your safety is our priority. As such, you should listen to Nelly and stay here. I’ll definitely bring her back safely!” Alpha Kilian said.
“We can protect ourselves!” Tony argued. “Perhaps, we could even help you.”
Ben nodded in agreement before adding, “That’s right. We also promise to take care of ourselves and not get into any trouble.”
Seeing that the boys were not intending to give up, Alpha Kilian furrowed his brows and said, “How are you going to promise me that? Although you are members of Darknetz and are under its protection, it might be difficult for Thalia to protect the two of you. Besides, you’re just kids, after all. If you get captured by the enemy, Nelly and I would have no choice but to do as they say. As such, you need to listen to me and stay here and wait for us to come back. I promise that I will bring Nelly back safely!”
By then, it was obvious to the boys that Alpha Kilian would not take them along no matter what they said. If they tried harder, it would just seem as if they were immature and wasting his time.
At that thought, Tony looked at his father with dim eyes and replied, “All right. We understand.” At that thought, Tony looked at his father with dim eyes and replied, “All right. We understand.”
Alpha Kilian knew that they were bright kids and would understand the situation. With that thought, the corner of the man’s lips curled up into a smile.
“Wait for me to come back!” Alpha Kilian said. Tony and Ben nodded.
Even though Alpha Kilian was reluctant to leave the boys and still had many unanswered questions, he knew that it was time for him to go.
As such, he turned to look at Fabian, who had been spacing out, and said, “Let’s go.” Fabian snapped out of his daze at once and followed closely behind Alpha Kilian .
After Alpha Kilian drove away in his car, the group of men who had come before him also departed. Moments later, only Thalia, Tony , and Ben were left standing there.
Thalia looked at the boys and asked, “So, do you have any other plans?”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
When Tony heard that, his eyes suddenly lit up as he replied, “Of course.” Thalia simply stared at the boy.
“We’re sticking to the original plan,” Tony continued. “Does that mean you’re still going?”
“Of course!” Tony replied.
“But didn’t you hear what Alpha Kilian said just now? Besides, haven’t you agreed as well?” “Yeah, I heard what he said, but I didn’t agree to it!” Tony shrugged and answered. Thalia was at a loss for words when she heard that.
Indeed, she did not remember him agreeing.
“You’re really sneaky.” Thalia looked at the boy and said.
Tony looked toward Ben and asked, “What do you say, Ben ?” “Let’s go!” Ben replied without hesitation.
The brothers got into the car after the decision was made.
Thalia looked at the two boys and was utterly speechless. She could hardly believe that she could not even handle two kids.
After watching the boys get into the car, Thalia turned to look at everything that had been destroyed. All that money, down the drain!
Tony and Ben were sitting obediently in the car when Thalia got in.
After settling down, the woman picked up her phone and called someone. The call got through after just a few seconds.
“Hello, who’s this?”
“It’s me!” Thalia answered.
There was a brief moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Obviously, the other party had recognized Thalia’s voice.
“Umm, hi, Ms. Jacoway. Have you changed your number?”
Sneering, Thalia replied, “I was worried that you wouldn’t dare to pick up my call if you knew it was me. That’s why I called using a different number.”
“You must be joking, Ms. Jacoway. Why would I do that? It’s really late now though. Is there anything I can help you with?”
Thalia let out a scoff before replying in a chilling voice, “It’s nothing important. I just called to tell you that you should bring your bodyguards along whenever you go out. It’s also advisable for you to get someone to watch over you while you sleep. That’s because I’m going to blow your brains out after I finish settling some matters. No one has ever dared to betray me. Just you wait!” After saying that, the woman hung up without waiting for the other party to reply.
That was the first time Tony and Ben had seen Thalia this furious.
Then again, it was natural for her to be enraged at being betrayed at such a crucial moment. If it had happened during some other transaction, she could have died.
As such, the boys completely understood the way she reacted.
Ultimately, there was nothing they could do when faced with a more formidable opponent.
Thalia felt better after venting, and immediately after she hung up, she floored the accelerator. The car
sped off.
Tony checked the time and asked, “Will we make it in time?”
“If Alpha Kilian can make it in time, we will be able to as well,” Thalia replied grimly while keeping her eyes on the road.
