Sara noticed that Tony was still lurking in the online chat but refusing to respond to her messages. Determined to get his attention, she tried to make their chat interface move, hoping to snap him out of his daze.
Finally, Tony responded with a simple “I’m here.”
Curious about his strange behavior, Sara asked, “What’s the matter with you?”
Tony’s response was vague, saying he was just thinking about some things. Sara pushed for more information, asking if he was thinking about the results of the DNA test they had previously discussed.
Tony confirmed her suspicions, admitting that he had been thinking about it. Trying to lighten the mood, Sara smiled and asked if the results were within his expectations.
Tony hesitated, muttering, “It’s complicated.” He knew that the results would greatly influence his future interactions with Alpha Kilian, the pack leader.
Sara, determined to help, suggested that he should talk to his wife about the situation, even if the child turned out to be illegitimate. She believed it was important to be upfront and honest.
Surprising everyone, Tony confessed, “I… don’t have a wife.”
Confused, Sara asked, “You don’t have a wife, and yet you have a child? So, what are you worrying about? Just reconnect with the child.”
Tony ensured that his personal information remained undisclosed, including his true age and identity. He understood that if this group of individuals within the dark web discovered his young age, they would be disinclined to communicate with him. Given that many of them worked as hackers, Tony exercised caution with his approach. Tony was left speechless and unable to explain himself to Sara. Changing the subject, he asked if Thalia was heading to the Moonwalk pack, trying to divert their conversation.
Confirming Thalia’s arrival, Sara mentioned that they were planning to meet up. Tony, however, declined the invitation, stating that he couldn’t attend.
Frustrated by his evasive responses, Sara confronted Tony, calling him the most mysterious among them and insisting that they needed to meet in person. She wanted him to reveal his true identity to them.
Tony replied simply, “I can’t.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Angrily, Sara exclaimed, “Damn it! Do you have anything else to say other than ‘I can’t?'”
Tony thought for a moment before responding, “No.”
Sara was infuriated by his lack of explanation. Just then, Thalia joined the chat room, seemingly oblivious to the tension.
Thalia cheerfully asked, “What’s up? Are you guys talking about me?”
Sara couldn’t help but express her frustration, telling Thalia that she wouldn’t gain anything from her trip to the Moonwalk pack this time.
Confused, Thalia asked if Tony was refusing to meet her because he was ashamed of himself. Tony responded with a smiling emoji, trying to diffuse the situation.
Putting on a brave front, Thalia declared, “It’s okay even if you’re ugly. You are one capable man. I’m not going to mind.” She even sent a sexy photo of herself to Tony.
Sara chimed in, praising Thalia as one of the top three prettiest ladies in the underground circle, urging Tony not to miss out on the chance to meet her.
Tony shocked them all by admitting, “I… met her.”
Thalia was taken aback, asking when they had met. Tony dropped a bombshell, confessing, “I hacked into your phone.”
Thalia was furious, swearing at Tony for his rude behavior. Feeling remorseful, Tony quickly retracted his statement, asking her to forget what he had said.
Thalia was at a loss for words, shocked that she hadn’t noticed being hacked. Sara, too, was filled with fear, realizing the extent of Tony’s abilities.
Grateful that Tony was on their side, Sara and Thalia acknowledged that his presence would make it difficult to sleep soundly at night if he were an enemy.
Thalia, still unable to let go of the issue, questioned Tony’s refusal to meet her, suggesting that he found her unattractive. Tony reassured her, admitting that she was good-looking and ranked second among the women he had seen.
Curiosity got the better of Thalia, and she inquired about the woman who ranked first. Tony shocked them both by saying, “My… mommy.”
Thalia was left without a response, unable to refute Tony’s claim. Desperate for answers, she pressed Tony on his reasons for not meeting her.
Tony thought for a moment before confessing, “I’m afraid that I’ll startle you guys.”
Thalia assured him that they wouldn’t be startled, even if he looked like a pile of poo. She found it perplexing that someone so sweet-looking could have such a crude personality.
Tony, finally opening up to them, asked for some time to think it over. Sara and Thalia saw a glimmer of hope, realizing that Tony was slowly letting his guard down.
Thalia promised to wait for his decision, and Tony inquired about her whereabouts. Thalia revealed that she was staying around Morris Corporation and wanted to meet the legendary CEO, Alpha Kilian. Tony was unsure how to deter her from pursuing any ideas about Alpha Kilian.
Just as he was contemplating a response, Thalia delivered unexpected news. She had witnessed someone sabotaging a Rolls-Royce Phantom, which she believed belonged to Alpha Kilian. Tony’s heart skipped a beat as he asked her to confirm the car’s plate number.
Thalia, with her eidetic memory, recalled that the plate number was LX600. Tony asked about the car’s color, and Thalia confirmed that it was red.
Tony’s panic grew as he discovered that his phone calls to Nelly, who was at Morris Corporation, were not getting through. Frantically, he asked Ben to keep trying to reach her.
Noticing Tony’s distressed state, Ben complied without hesitation, unaware of the gravity of the situation. Tony then messaged Thalia, urgently asking if she was sure she saw someone sabotaging the car.
Thalia assured him of her certainty, sensing his anxiety even through their messages. Tony’s eyes turned bloodshot as he sought answers from his sister, Donna. He asked if Nelly drove to work that day, and Donna confirmed it.
Realizing the potential danger, Tony’s hands shook as he texted Thalia, begging for her help in stopping the car and preventing anyone from driving the Phantom. Thalia understood the urgency and promised to go check it out.
Tony turned to Ben, desperate for an update on the phone calls. Ben shook his head, indicating that they still couldn’t reach Nelly.
A wave of fear washed over them as they realized the seriousness of the situation. They could only hope that Thalia’s intervention would prevent any harm befalling Alpha Kilian.
