Alpha Kilian frowned upon hearing that, his eyes looking incredibly cold.
“In that case, they have not met each other yet, right?” Alpha Kilian asked.
“Of course. My men are keeping an eye on them all day. Rest assured that we will stop them before they have the chance to meet each other face to face!” Dave replied.
Alpha Kilian ‘s eyes glinted when he heard the response. With his mind at ease, he turned to gaze at Dave and said, “Thank you.”
Dave glanced at him for a moment and continued driving. With his eyes peeled on the road, he said, “Why don’t you tell me what happened?”
“What do you mean?” Alpha Kilian asked.
Dave knitted his brows. “Stop pretending to be ignorant. You know that I don’t help anyone. If you don’t make it clear, don’t blame me when one of our men screw things up…”
With a grim look, Alpha Kilian said, “Didn’t I say it before? She’s more important than my life!” Instantly, Dave’s lips curled into a grin. “Is she your girlfriend?”
Staring at him, Alpha Kilian answered, “She’s the mother of my children!”
Finding it difficult to believe, Dave snorted and said, “Tsk! You’re indeed shameless!” Since he didn’t want to believe it, Alpha Kilian was too lazy to explain further.
“If she’s your girlfriend, why would she be here? Could it be that… she isn’t fond of you?” Dave guessed. “Do you think your hypothetical question will ever happen to me?” Alpha Kilian asked him back.
Dave scanned him for a while and said playfully, “Although it’s unlikely to happen, life is full of surprises. What else is impossible when you, Alpha Kilian Morris , value a woman more than life?”
Alpha Kilian was rendered speechless and didn’t respond to that.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Dave’s mind. He quickly gazed at Alpha Kilian and said, “By the way, do you remember we met a master when we were on a mission many years ago?”
A moment of thought later, Alpha Kilian said, “I vaguely remember that, yes.” “Well, do you still remember what the master told us back then?”
Alpha Kilian looked at him and asked curiously, “What did he say?”
“Once the master saw you, he said you’re born to be a leader and will possess power your whole life. Although your life is generally smooth, the only obstacle is romance. You can avoid it by staying away from women, or a calamity awaits you!” Dave said and flashed him a mocking smile.
After Dave finished, Alpha Kilian looked at him and said, “Well, what are you suggesting?”
“I’m reminding you about what the master said before. Stay away from women, and you’ll avoid the obstacle. Otherwise, a calamity would befall you!” Dave repeated mockingly.
When the image of his loved one flashed through his mind, Alpha Kilian narrowed his eyes and rumbled, “I’d rather face the calamity.”
When the image of his loved one flashed through his mind, Alpha Kilian narrowed his eyes and rumbled, “I’d rather face the calamity.”
Although Dave had meant to tease Alpha Kilian , he knew that the latter wasn’t joking in his reply. After a while, Dave said playfully, “It seems like you’re serious this time.”
“Of course! Do you think I’m here to visit you?” Alpha Kilian retorted.
Dave nodded in response. “I’m curious about what kind of a woman can make J, who used to stay away from women, become so loyal.”
Meanwhile, an indescribable feeling arose as Alpha Kilian thought about Nelly again.
I’m also curious about how Nelly captured my heart, so much so that I’m willing to come from afar to find her.
As the car zoomed steadily on the road, Dave glanced at Alpha Kilian . “Do you want to make a brief visit to the headquarters? The moment they heard you were coming back, our friends expressed their eagerness to meet with you. Besides, the newcomers have heard about your stories and were
impressed. They wish to see the real you too.”
After giving it some thought, Alpha Kilian declined the invitation. “It’s okay. You can drive straight to the hotel.”
Deep down, Dave understood Alpha Kilian ‘s temperament and why he was reluctant to go. As such, Dave didn’t force him to do it. “All right. Anyway, why should you stay in a hotel? Since you’re here, you must come to my place.”
With that, Dave stepped on the gas.
Half an hour later, he drove the car into a castle. Both got out of the car after it stopped.
Far away from them, a helicopter was parked on the grass field in the garden.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Upon noticing the helicopter, Alpha Kilian teased him, “Why haven’t you scrapped the thing?”
Dave quickly responded, “I still have to use it to pick you up and only scrap it when necessary!” When a thought flashed through his mind, he added, “Speaking of which, I initially planned to pick you up with it to make you feel at home. However, I chose to drive a car after considering that you might have an unusual motive for visiting here. By the way, I haven’t driven my car for many years. You should not feel bad but honored instead because I became your driver today.”
Raising his brows, Alpha Kilian said, “I don’t know about feeling honored. Nevertheless, I know that luck is probably on my side because I’m still alive.”
Dave turned and looked at him. “Well, the master was right about you. Not only do you have a smooth life, but you can also overcome all sorts of challenges.”
Alpha Kilian flashed him a smile but didn’t take it seriously. “Let’s go.” With that, Dave walked toward the castle.
Soon, a housekeeper came to welcome and greet him. “Sir, welcome home.”
Dave casually threw his bunch of keys to the housekeeper and instructed her, “I have a distinguished guest today. Please prepare some high-grade tea.”
“Understood.”
Then, Dave and Alpha Kilian entered the hall and sat in the living room.
Alpha Kilian noted the all-female group of housekeepers and raised his brows lazily. “Is it appropriate for me to stay here?”
“Why not?” Dave asked him back. “Wouldn’t I disturb you?”
It was not until then that Dave got what Alpha Kilian meant. He inched closer and whispered, “I don’t crap where I eat. Besides, I prefer oriental ladies. I just… It feels weird if men serve me.” The next moment,
he continued in a normal tone, “Just make yourself at home.”
Dave picked up his cup of tea and glanced at him. “Stop pretending to be polite.” Then, he gestured for Alpha Kilian to drink the tea. “Try it. It’s my hundred-year-old collection. I won’t take it out for any guests.”
A glint flashed across his eyes when Alpha Kilian picked up his cup and observed the tea. After a while, a faint smile grew on his lips. “I’m afraid you have been conned.”
Dave was startled upon hearing that. “How is it possible? Someone gave it to me when he requested my help. Why would he give me a counterfeit?”
With that, he took a few sips of the tea and frowned. “Besides, it doesn’t taste like a counterfeit.” “The genuine tea tastes slightly bitter,” Alpha Kilian said, looking solemn.
Dave stared at him with suspicion. “Are you sure?”
Noticing Dave was beginning to take him seriously, Alpha Kilian chuckled. “Of course not! I was kidding!” “J! How childish of you!”
Alpha Kilian chuckled. “Remember what you said, okay? Don’t mind if I do.”
