Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

“Are you saying… that this is your plan?” Ben ventured, goggling at Tony .

“Well, duh. Do you think I’m so foolish as to employ such a method to take my revenge against him?” Tony retorted.

Nonetheless, Ben frowned at him. “No, I don’t quite understand your plan.” Tony motioned for him to take a seat. “Sit down, and we’ll talk.”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Thus, they both walked over to the dining table and sat down.

Just when Tony was about to speak, the housekeeper approached with breakfast. His brows creased as he eyed the food in front of him. He asked bluntly, “Is there steak?”

Upon hearing that, the housekeeper gawped at him. She then inclined her head in affirmation. “Yes.” “I’d like to have steak, please. Thank you!” Tony stated.

The housekeeper nodded. “Sure! Give me a few minutes!” Tony bobbed his head.

Seeing as the housekeeper was going to leave, Ben chimed in, “I’d like to have steak, too! Medium- cooked, please. Thank you!”

The housekeeper’s gaze roamed over them. Thereafter, she dipped her head and left. At once, Tony swung his gaze at Ben .

Without realizing it, they had both been speaking in Capstonese.

They didn’t know a single word when they first came over, but by then, they could have basic conversations in the language.

Tony regarded him with a smirk on his lips “When did you learn it?” “Huh?” Ben grunted, feigning ignorance.

“Stop faking it!” Tony huffed.

Arching an eyebrow, Ben decided to admit to it. “It’s no big deal. I just picked it up during the few days you were wearing earphones for no reason.”

Tony was struck dumb.

It looks like he knows everything though he said nothing.

At that thought, the corners of his lips turned up. “Well, well, well… You’re increasingly shrewd now!” “Right back at you!”

Even then, the two brothers didn’t forget to bicker with each other.

Only when the housekeeper brought two plates of steak over did they revert to normal.

“All right, let’s put that aside first. Let’s talk business. What exactly is your plan?” Ben inquired, pinning his eyes on Tony .

Tony pondered for some time before answering, “I’d been thinking about this since I overheard the conversation between Daddy and Alpha Dave yesterday… But after turning it over in my mind, this was the only method available to me.”

While saying that, he trained his eyes on Ben . “That person wants Daddy’s life, and Daddy will definitely go alone in order to save Nelly . But it doesn’t matter what Daddy’s plan is for he’ll still end up taking damage even if he wins by a slight edge. And even then, he might not be able to save her.”

“That’s true.” Ben sighed.

“I brooded over it yesterday, but I couldn’t involve Darknetz in this either. You know the grudge between Daddy and Darknetz. Hence, this was the only method I could use,” Tony explained, holding his gaze.

In a trice, understanding dawned upon Ben . “So, you’re not doing this for revenge. Instead, it’s to muddy the waters to make the person worried and fearful. Then, Daddy will have a greater chance of saving Nelly .”

Tony nodded at that. “Even if we can’t kill that person, it’s still an opportunity if we can strike some fear into him and inflict damage on him!”

“This is undeniably a great method, but did you ever consider that you’d be placing yourself at risk by doing so? Yes, I know they might not necessarily be able to find you, but what if they succeed in doing so? After all, nothing can remain a secret forever in this world. By that time, you’d be the one in danger.”

“So what if they were to discover my identity? It doesn’t matter as long as it can save Nelly , and she and Daddy are both fine. Besides, they’d need time to look for me. Furthermore, I’d have gone for training at Darknetz. Would they still be able to find me?” Tony defended.

Ben narrowed his eyes a fraction. On second thought, that’s true. “Therefore, you’ve already taken everything into consideration?”

“But of course! Do you really think I’d lost my senses?” Tony retorted.

Hearing that, Ben bobbed his head. “But still, you’ve got to be more careful when you go out after having posted that bounty list yesterday. Even Thalia phoned about this matter, so you should be aware of its gravity!”

Needless to say, Tony was well aware of that. “Sam phoned me as well yesterday.” Ben lifted his eyes to him. “And?”

“I made my stance clear. While I didn’t tell him the specifics, ultimately, he’s still on my side!” Tony announced calmly.

“That’s because he doesn’t know your relationship with Daddy, right?” Ben questioned. Tony nodded.

“If he knew, things would’ve probably been different,” Ben muttered. The thought of that alone gave him a headache.

“Yeah. But no matter what, I’m still very glad about his attitude. He truly regards me as a friend!” Tony commented.

“There’s no doubt about that,” Ben seconded. All of a sudden, something occurred to him. “Oh yes, he must be determined to rush over to lend you a hand after learning that you’re going head-to- head with Midnight fang pack , huh?”

Tony bobbed his head. “He said he’d come over after settling Holden’s matter.”

Ben was startled for a second. “Then, our relationship with Daddy won’t be able to remain under wraps anymore at that time, no?”

“It doesn’t matter any longer. We’ll take things one at a step then. The most important thing at present is to save Nelly ,” Tony asserted.

Ben heaved a sigh. “I mean, what if Sam insists on going against Daddy even after learning the truth?”

Tony went silent.

Truth be told, that possibility had never crossed his mind. “That wouldn’t happen, would it?” he riposted.

“Why not? The grievance between Darknetz and DX runs far deeper than we can imagine. I think anything might happen!” Ben argued.

Tony ‘s brows scrunched together.

Both Tony and Ben froze for a moment. They exchanged a look, uneasiness written clear in their eyes.

“We saw him earlier. He went to the hidden room,” Tony answered. Then, he stared straight at Dave. “What’s wrong, Alpha Dave?”

“I’ve asked those in the hidden room, but they said he came out after going in for a cursory look. Then, he disappeared. I just came back from outside, and a car is missing from the courtyard!” Dave exclaimed.

“Are you saying that Daddy… has left?” Ben ventured. Dave said nothing, but his meaning was evident.

Without a single word, Tony whirled around and hurried off. Dave eyed him in puzzlement. “Where are you going?”

“I want to go and look for Daddy!” Tony strode right toward the door with a determined look in his eyes.

Seeing that, Dave stepped forward to stop him. “Do you know where he went that you’re charging off to look for him?”

“I don’t care where he went! Anyway, I’m going to look for him!” Tony insisted.

When Dave saw that he was still adamant about it, he blocked his path directly. “No, you can’t go out.”

“Alpha Dave, Daddy couldn’t have gone far yet. Thus, we can still find him if we want to do so. But as time goes by, we won’t be able to find him anymore!” Tony uttered urgently, his eyes fixated on the man.

“Nothing will happen to him at the moment, but if you were to step out of this door and run into danger, I wouldn’t be able to explain things to him!” Dave maintained.

“That’s unnecessary!” Tony argued.

“Even so, you can’t go out!” Dave remained firm without showing any signs of budging.

Panic swamped Tony . He was determined to leave by all means, but Dave couldn’t possibly allow him to do so. The latter stood in his path, his absolute height and physique making it clear that Tony wouldn’t be his match.

“Step aside, Alpha Dave!” he ordered, glowering at the man. “Be good, Tony !” Dave hissed lowly.

“I’ve never been a good boy!” It was clear as day that nothing could get through to Tony right then.

When Dave saw he was still intent on barging out, he had no other choice left. He scooped the boy right up.

That promptly took Tony aback.

“What are you doing, Alpha Dave? Let go of me!” He struggled wildly. “I’ll take you to someplace for you to calm down.”

“I don’t need that! Let me down, Alpha Dave! I want to go and look for my daddy!” Tony continued struggling.

Regretfully, Dave turned a deaf ear to him then. Hoisting the boy over his shoulder, he made to leave.

Before doing so, however, he cast a glance at Ben at the side. “Why, do you want to go out as well?” he inquired bluntly.

Under such circumstances, Ben naturally didn’t dare admit to that. He hastily shook his head. “No!”

“Then, come with me!”

“Do I still need to go with you even if I’m not going out?” Ben asked tentatively. He initially planned to have Tony kick up a fuss while he took advantage of the chaotic situation to sneak out. Alas, things seemingly weren’t developing according to his plan.

“Are you going to come with me willingly, or do you want me to carry you in my other hand?” Dave threatened.

Ben was a smart cookie, so he immediately replied, “I’ll come willingly!”

With that, Dave walked ahead with Tony over his shoulder while Ben trailed behind.

“Let me go, Alpha Dave! Are you just going to watch idly by as my daddy goes to his death?” Tony bellowed.

“Don’t worry. Not just anyone can take your father’s life.”

“Did you forget our chat yesterday? You promised to help me!”

“Yes, I did promise to help you, but I now suddenly feel that my decision yesterday might have been a mistake.”

“Why?”

“Because you’re too impulsive!” “I-”

Before Tony could argue further, Ben , who was at the back, threw a look at him, signaling him to quieten down.

Eyeing his brother, Tony wavered for a long moment. In the end, he chose to zip his mouth.

Nevertheless, Dave wasn’t surprised that he was no longer making a fuss and had quietened down instead. These two kids are too smart, so who knows what tricks they’ve got up their sleeves? Following that thought, he quickened his steps as he headed toward the bedrooms.

It wasn’t until they arrived at Tony ‘s room that he placed the latter down.

“Alpha Dave-”

“I know what you want to say, but whatever you say right now isn’t going to work. Stay here today and dwell upon things!”

Tony pinned his eyes on the man. “What do you mean by that, Alpha Dave?”

Dave said nothing, answering with his actions instead. He walked out of the room and shut the door.

Tony and Ben were both stunned. They instantly dashed forward, but no matter how they twisted the handle, the door simply wouldn’t open.

“Stop wasting your energy. I’ve already locked the door from the outside!” “Hey, how could you do this, Alpha Dave?” Tony demanded.

“Don’t blame me for doing this, Tony . I’m only doing this in consideration of your safety. It was also your daddy’s instruction to me when he left. I promised him that I’d keep you both safe.”

Through the door, Tony stilled for a heartbeat. “You said it was daddy who instructed you to do this?”

“Yes!”

Tony proceeded to search his mind for something.

At that precise moment, Ben interjected, “Alpha Dave, you know our daddy went to the lion’s den alone. What’s the meaning of you locking us up in such a manner? We promise not to run away. Open the door, and we’ll talk things out nicely, okay?”
