Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

Thalia remarked sarcastically, “I’ve never come across anyone who would force another person to take something he or she doesn’t want.”

“It seems Darknetz is made up of a bunch of shallow-minded, ignorant people.” Dave glanced at the rear-view mirror. “Darknetz might not be the best for you. I think DX suits you better. I’ll take you guys to the DX headquarters once we have settled everything.”

His suggestion rendered Tony speechless. “Hey! You-” Thalia was about to throw a fit.

“Come, have some food!” Ben interrupted and shoved a packet of snacks into her hand. “I don’t feel like eating!” Thalia expressed her dismay.

“You’re gonna get hungry, though,” Ben whispered. Thalia looked at the snacks. He’s right.

“Fine. I’ll just eat it since someone has already bought it.” She slowly opened the packet and munched on the snacks.

Dave gazed at her but remained silent and kept driving with one hand on the steering wheel. He looked

more like a prince than someone involved in an underground organization. “Alpha Dave, would you like some?” Tony asked.

“No thanks. I’m not used to eating these snacks,” Dave replied.

Thalia rolled her eyes upon hearing that. “What a pretentious man,” she said before looking out the window.

Instead of arguing with her, Dave acted as if he did not hear what she said and continued driving.

Tony and Ben heaved a sigh of relief when Dave and Thalia were no longer at each other’s throats.

The two brothers were worried that the war of words would not end every time one of them uttered something.

They might look chill now, but the tension between Darknetz and DX was real.

After hitting the road for nearly forty minutes, they arrived at the borders of the uninhabited zone. The so-called uninhabited zone was merely a common name the locals used to describe the area. After stopping the car, Dave looked at them. “Should be somewhere around here!”

Tony glanced at his wristwatch and noticed their location overlapped with the GPS coordinates. So the place should be around this area.

Yet, upon looking around for a while, they found nothing.

Suddenly, Tony pointed at the road in front and asked, “How about that area, Alpha Dave?” “That’s the actual uninhabited zone!” Dave replied after following Tony ‘s line of sight.

“The actual uninhabited zone? What do you mean?” Tony was confused. “That’s the battlefield!” Dave’s answer was brief and concise.

“Battlefield?” Tony knitted his brows.

“It was where the two parties had exchanged fire!” Thalia piped up sluggishly. Tony ‘s eyes darted from side to side. “You mean now?”

“Yes, even now!”

“Do you think we can find Daddy there?” Tony asked.

“People have deserted that land for a long time, and the place is covered in overgrown grasses and shrubs. You won’t find anything there!” Thalia said.

Tony could only picture how the land looked like as he had only seen it in films but not in real life. Dave drove around the area but did not find Alpha Kilian and his car.

“Alpha Dave, since Daddy came all the way here, does that mean the person set this place as their meeting venue?” Tony asked.

“I suppose so.”

Tony continued asking, “Do you think they have met?” “Probably not.” Dave shook his head.

“Why’s that?”

“He said he’d text me before meeting the person,” Dave answered. Tony nodded although he had no clue why Alpha Kilian did that.

After parking the car by the road, Dave turned around and looked at them. “Your daddy must have parked his car in a secluded place, so I don’t think we can find it while driving. You guys wait for me in the car. I’ll go down and take a look.”

“Alpha Dave!” Tony called. “Let’s go together. We should be able to cover more areas within a shorter period.”

Dave looked at them and frowned, as he was worried about them.

“We won’t go missing, Alpha Dave, so don’t worry. We used to live with Nelly when we were overseas. Let’s meet here again later,” Tony proposed.

“But-”

“We have Thalia with us. I’m sure we’ll be fine!” Tony added.

Dave nodded without looking up. “All right, then. Let’s meet here later!”

“All right!” Tony responded.

They got down from the car and started looking for Alpha Kilian .

Dave was on his own, while Thalia, Tony , and Ben were together.

After Dave left, Ben looked at them and said, “We should go separate ways to speed things up!” Thalia frowned upon hearing that. “No. What if something bad happens to you boys?”

“What could possibly happen to us?” Ben asked.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Tony followed Ben ‘s line of sight and saw Nelly from quite a distance.

Clad in a dark blue coat and a pair of short boots, Nelly , who exuded a domineering aura, looked exceptionally stunning as her long hair draped on her shoulders.

Although she was standing far away, they immediately recognized her side profile and the unique aura she exuded.

“That’s Nelly !” Tony ‘s eyes gleamed with excitement.

“Nelly -” Just when the boys were about to run toward her, Thalia covered their mouths, stopping them from advancing, and dragged them to a secluded place.

“What are you doing?” Tony looked at her with a scowl.

“Just wait for a while,” Thalia said in a low voice, bending down before looking in Nelly ‘s direction.

A man emerged from behind Nelly and spoke to her. There were also two muscular, tough-looking men standing beside them.

It was hard to tell if they were protecting her or monitoring her every move.

Tony and Ben froze for a moment. After a brief observation, Tony said, “They’re the men from the port!”

Thalia bobbed her head in agreement. “That’s right.”

Tony stared still at the men. Upon noticing the man who was talking to Nelly , he narrowed his eyes. “That man is the boss!”

“Which one?”

“The man who’s talking to Nelly right now. Alpha Dave and I read about him in the hidden room. That’s the guy!” Tony said.

Thalia narrowed her eyes as she fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a car drove in Nelly ‘s direction and stopped in front of her. She got into the car when the door opened.

Seeing that, Tony wanted to dash out and run toward her.

Thalia immediately gripped his arm. “What do you think you’re doing?”

“They’re leaving now! We can’t let this opportunity slip away!” Tony said. “You’re just gonna get yourself killed!” Thalia warned.

“I’ll go up and stall them. Ben , you try to contact Alpha Dave. We’ll look for Daddy after this. There are four of us. I’m sure we can do this!”

Ben nodded.

Thalia looked at the brothers with a frown and refused to let him go. “No. You stay here and do nothing!”

“Thalia!”

With a stern look on her face, Thalia looked around. “You only saw these three men in front of you, but do you know how many people are hiding around?” She tilted her chin, gesturing for the boys to look at a road nearby. “Look at the crossroad right there.”

Tony turned around and noticed quite a number of men had gathered around the multiple crossroads in front of them. Although they dressed differently, they all looked like those men Tony had met at the port in Moonwalk pack Moonwalk pack .

Tony regained his composure right away.

“If I’m not mistaken, Boss is trying to lure your daddy out!” Thalia deduced. Tony looked around and said, “So Daddy must be somewhere around here.” The three of them then started looking around.

“Daddy had better not fall into their trap!” Ben mumbled.

The three of them looked around but did not see who they were looking for. “The car is leaving!” Ben said all of a sudden.

They turned their attention to the car again. The black car drove off after Nelly had gotten into it.

Tony pressed his hand against the wall and watched the vehicle depart. He knitted his brows while scratching the wall hard with his nails.

Thalia, who was standing behind him, felt sorry for the boys.

Seeing their loved one in danger but not being able to do anything was torture. She understood how helpless Tony and Ben were.

Yet, she could not put the boys’ lives in jeopardy, as she had promised Nelly to protect them. Thalia walked up and gently tapped on Tony ‘s shoulder.
