Ben played in the weapons storage area for a long time before leaving unwillingly.
As he was making his way out, he touched the weapons and looked around. He even took many pictures and intended to take a good look at them when he returned home.
On the way home, the car drove onto a road. When Dave looked at the words displayed in black against a red background, he frowned.
“Alpha Kilian ,” Dave said and motioned for him to look outside.
Alpha Kilian raised his head and narrowed his eyes when he saw the words on the billboard. His intuition told him that the matter had something to do with either Tony or Nelly . Did something happen today?
Just as Alpha Kilian was thinking about it, Ben looked outside. He froze when he saw the words on the screen.
Uh... Isn't this a little too bold?
Alpha Kilian did not miss the expression on Ben 's face. He felt that Ben 's behavior was too peculiar that day. Now, he finally understood something.
As he stared at him, he asked, “Ben , who do you think did this?”
Ben froze before looking at Alpha Kilian . He hesitated and said, “Uh, how would I know?” Alpha Kilian remained silent and smiled mysteriously.
At that moment, Dave's phone rang. He stared at the number displayed on the screen and picked up the call.
“Yes?”
Thereafter, Dave looked at Ben . It was as if he had found out something. However, he did not speak and only waited till the end to say, “Okay, I got it.”
He then hung up the phone and looked away.
“What do you think happened, Alpha Kilian ?” Dave asked as he turned around.
Alpha Kilian looked at him lazily. He did not speak, but his glance conveyed many things. “Hurry back,” Dave instructed the driver.
“Yes,” the driver responded.
The car sped up, and a peculiar silence descended in the car.
Ben looked at him and hesitated before asking, “Alpha Dave, what happened?” Dave looked at him and smirked mysteriously. “What do you think?”
“How would I know? If I knew, I wouldn't have asked you,” Ben replied. Dave looked at him and smiled wholeheartedly. “When you return, you'll know.” Ben fell silent.
I might as well not ask!
The curiosity in his heart increased.
However, he felt a little guilty and did not dare to continue probing. Hence, he smiled innocently and stopped talking.
Instead, he looked outside the window. On every screen and billboard they passed, there were the words, Boss is a son of a b*tch, displayed on them.
It had to be either Tony or Nelly who did it. Ben picked up his phone and searched the news.
As expected, the news reported that an unknown hacker had hacked into the country's systems. Officials were trying their best to salvage the situation.
Thereafter, Ben quickly opened his chat with his two other siblings. “What's going on? We're on our way back.”
The chatroom was silent.
Ben felt increasingly curious and confused.
When he noticed that no one replied to him, he kept his phone.
Donna only sent him a message when the car arrived at the house. She texted: It's difficult to explain. I'll tell you when you get back home.
The car came to a stop.
Dave said, “I'll go to the hidden room first.” Alpha Kilian nodded. “I'll be there later.”
Ben stared at Dave's retreating figure and said, “Daddy, I'll go and find Nelly now.” “Let's go together,” Alpha Kilian suggested.
Ben could do nothing but maintain a polite smile and walk with Alpha Kilian .
As they entered the house, Ben felt ill at ease. His current emotions were a far cry from when he was at the shooting range.
Ben finally spoke when they walked to the corridor. “Daddy, I'll go to my room and wash up first before meeting Nelly .”
Alpha Kilian 's gaze swept over him as he replied, “Sure.” Ben then went into the room.
As Alpha Kilian stared at his back view, a complicated expression flashed past his eyes. He then turned and walked to Nelly 's room.
As expected, Tony and Donna were in her room. They were laughing and chatting with Nelly . “Nelly ,” Alpha Kilian called out.
When they heard his voice, the trio turned to look at him. Donna smiled and said, “Daddy, you're back?” Alpha Kilian 's grim look disappeared as he smiled. “Yes.”
The little girl walked over and hugged Alpha Kilian .
At that moment, Tony 's eyes darted about as he said, “Nelly , since Daddy is here and you probably have something to tell him, we'll return to our room first!”
Nelly nodded.
Tony proceeded to hold Donna 's hand. “Let's go!”
Although Donna was unwilling to leave, she knew that she should not remain in the room.
Hence, she said, “Daddy, Nelly , have a good chat. We won't disturb you!” Then, she went out with Tony .
