Alpha Kilian shot Boss a murderous look in response.
Just then, Mike saw red and fumed, “Are you a psycho? Why would you put that kind of thing at home? Are you not worried that you might accidentally press the button and blow yourself up?”
Boss turned to shoot a vicious glare at Mike.
However, Mike wasn't scared at all because he knew he was well protected. Therefore, he continued to taunt, “What's the matter? Did I say something wrong? I heard about how sick of a person you are, but I didn't expect you to be crazy enough to risk harming yourself. This is astonishing!”
“Shut up!” Boss lashed out.
“Why should I? Just because you say so? My boss is right here!” Mike shouted before shifting his gaze toward Alpha Kilian . With Alpha Kilian here, I don't have to be afraid of anything.
A hint of hostility flashed across Boss' eyes as he glared at Mike. “Kill him!” Boss ordered.
As soon as those words fell, the man next to Boss raised his gun and wanted to shoot Mike. The second the gun was pointed at Mike, a gunshot was heard, and that man fell to the ground instantly.
Startled, Mike turned around and saw Alexia pointing her gun at the man that had just fallen to the ground.
Mike smiled right away and praised, “Good job, Alexia! I'll buy you food after this!”
Alexia ignored Mike and pointed her gun at Boss. She then said to Alpha Kilian , “My savior, leave him to
me.”
Alpha Kilian glanced at her and pursed his lips in silence. I must admit that she pulled the trigger right on time.
After that, Boss scrutinized the few of them and quickly realized something. “You're surrounded by talented people, aren't you, Alpha Morris ?” mocked Boss.
Before Alpha Kilian could say anything in response, Mike continued running his mouth by saying, “You don't say! On the other hand, you're surrounded by a bunch of trash! Giving you guys that batch of goods is such a waste!”
“Are you only good with your words?” Boss looked at Mike.
“What's wrong with that? I would consider pissing you off as an achievement!” Needless to say, Mike had the ability to make one speechless.
“You're so proud of being a piece of trash!” Boss sneered.
“Well, am I wrong for mocking some poor b*stards who came out to make a deal without enough cash? At least I'm not pretending to be rich and trying to cheat others, right?” Mike retorted. Turning to Boss' men, he added, “Since you all are so poor, I think you guys ought to abandon your boss and just go home. Perhaps you guys should start farming, so at least you won't go hungry.”
Mike's words could really irritate anyone and make them lose their composure.
Boss, who had always been able to control his temper, couldn't help but feel infuriated after hearing those words.
“J, are we going to fight with only words today?” Boss asked Alpha Kilian . As a matter of fact, their conversation reminded Alpha Kilian of something. “Was anything he said false?” Alpha Kilian asked Boss.
“You...” Boss glared at Alpha Kilian .
Mike raised his brows when he saw what was happening. I can be even more arrogant! Boss then asked again, “Are we really going to battle with our mouths today?”
“Is that important? I don't really care about the methods. All I care about is beating you!” Alpha Kilian yelled.
“Okay. Keep going, then.” Boss raised the phone into the air and said, “Don't blame me for not telling you in advance. If I accidentally press this button, you'll suffer a great loss.”
Alpha Kilian 's gaze darkened when he saw what was in Boss' hand. “Boss, I heard that you're a man who cherishes his life. Therefore, why would you put yourself in danger in the first place?”
“Do you not believe me?” Boss snickered.
Alpha Kilian kept mum and continued staring at Boss. I'm prepared for whatever comes next. “What you heard is right, but that's not all. It's true that I cherish my life. However, I grew up
surrounded by corpses, so no one knows death better than I do. At the same time, I don't trust anyone in my life. That's why I have these things planted everywhere I go. If needed, I don't mind dying with my enemies. No matter what, I won't show mercy to whoever wants to harm me. That's just who I am!” While talking, Boss was staring at Alpha Kilian , so those words were clearly meant for the latter.
Bang! Bang!
Two bullets flew right past Boss' ear, but he didn't even blink.
A few seconds later, he felt a stinging sensation from his ear before something dripped on his shoulder. One of his subordinates called out to him, “Boss!”
Boss' lips curled into a mysterious smile as he touched his ear and saw the blood on his fingers.
“Word on the street is that you're an incredibly skilled shooter, Alpha Morris . They say you always hit your mark. What's the matter? Is today not your day?” he asked while staring right into Alpha Kilian 's eyes.
Boss knew full well that Alpha Kilian wouldn't kill him. Those two shots were simply to vent his anger and frustration. Even so, he decided to taunt Alpha Kilian about it anyway.
Seeing Alpha Kilian seethe and boil with rage made him feel a little better after all the humiliation he had suffered at Alpha Kilian 's hands recently.
Who says killing someone is the best form of revenge? I prefer to make them rage while being unable to do anything about the situation! That, in my opinion, is the ultimate form of revenge!
Noticing that Alpha Kilian was glaring coldly at him, Boss pointed at his chest and asked, “Shouldn't you be aiming for this spot instead, Alpha Morris ?”
Mike was on the verge of exploding with anger. “Oh, shut up! You're only alive because Alpha Morris doesn't want you dead just yet! No one will be able to save you when he decides to kill you!”
Boss narrowed his eyes and shot Mike a glance as he said, “Why don't you be a good little dog and stop barking, hmm?”
“You...”
“Your barking is giving me a headache, and I don't know what I might do if that happens!” Boss continued while waving the phone in his hand.
Mike had no choice but to keep quiet when he saw that.
Even so, he kept his gaze fixated on Boss and swore to kill him if the opportunity arose.
Boss broke into a smug grin when he saw Mike go silent. “Ah, it's so peaceful when the dog stops barking!”
Alpha Kilian narrowed his eyes as he glared daggers at Boss, who was testing his patience again and again.
Suddenly, one of Boss' subordinates stepped forward and handed him a phone.
Boss kept his gaze pinned on Alpha Kilian and remained on guard as he answered the phone, “Hello?” A few seconds later, he broke into a gleeful smile and said, “All right, then. Come on over.”
While Boss was talking on the phone, Mike heard something in his earpiece and frowned in response.
After hanging up the phone, Boss looked Alpha Kilian right in the eye as he exclaimed, “Man, this night just keeps getting better and better! Guess who's coming over, Alpha Morris ?”
If looks could kill, Alpha Kilian would probably have killed Boss a thousand times over by then. Judging by that smug grin on his face, it's definitely Nelly !
Boss let out a hearty chuckle when he noticed Alpha Kilian 's gloomy expression. That was when Mike walked up to Alpha Kilian and whispered something in his ear.
Alpha Kilian 's eyes went wide in surprise for a split second, but he was able to hide his change in emotion and keep his cool.
Suddenly, the tense moment was interrupted by a car approaching from the distance. Boss was grinning excitedly from ear to ear as he watched the car pull up beside them. Gavin then got out of the car and opened the door. “After you.”
Nelly shot him a glance and slowly stepped out of the car.
She had yet to assess the situation when Mike called out to her, “Nelly !”
Nelly turned toward the direction of his voice and froze when she saw Alpha Kilian standing next to him. What are they doing here?
As Nelly met Alpha Kilian 's icy-cold gaze, she could clearly tell that he was mad at her. He looked both upset and conflicted at the same time.
Oh, well... I never expected him to not be mad at me anyway. Still, what is this strange sensation in my heart? I was only away for a short while, and yet, I feel as though I haven't seen him in ages...
“After you, Ms. Jackson ,” Gavin repeated.
Nelly then retracted her gaze and made her way forward. “Nelly !” Mike called out to her again.
Nelly simply shot him a glance and continued walking toward Boss without saying a word. Mike frowned in confusion when he saw her response.
What's going on here? Alpha Kilian should be boiling with anger right now, and yet, he's just staring at her in silence.
Alexia, too, was confused by the sudden turn of events.
“Why did you have me come all the way here?” Nelly asked when she saw that they all had their guns drawn and were having some kind of stand-off.
