Eugene returned promptly.
His tone suddenly became humble as he approached Alpha Kilian. “Our boss wishes to speak with you, Alpha Morris.”
Alpha Kilian glanced at him lazily, looking as though he did not intend to answer the call.
Eugene frowned. “We were wrong earlier, Alpha Morris, and are here to offer our apology. You can decide how you want to punish us later.”
Alpha Kilian snorted as his frosty gaze swept over Eugene. Though he did not say a word, he exuded extreme anger.
The man on the other end of the line seemed to have sensed something awry and spoke to Eugene, who hummed a reply before putting the phone on speaker mode.
“Alpha Morris.”
Alpha Kilian gazed down nonchalantly. Despite hearing the voice, his expression did not change in the slightest.
“My men didn’t know better and offended you before clarifying the matter. Please don’t hold it against them, Alpha Morris.” Bloodmoon Pack’s feeble yet gravelly voice came from the other end.
Alpha Kilian’s expression remained calm. A meaningful smile played on his lips as he gazed at Eugene before him as though he could see the person on the other end of the line. “Were your men ignorant, or were they acting under orders?”
“You must be joking, Alpha Morris. I am an old man in my fifties. Do you think I’d be that clueless? If you want the goods, Alpha Morris, you could take them yourself. Why do you have to go through the trouble of quarreling with me and intercepting it? It’s meaningless that way.” Bloodmoon Pack concluded with a sheepish laugh.
Alpha Kilian listened without saying a word in response.
“How about this? You may punish them however you like if your anger has not abated, Alpha Morris. I leave it entirely up to you.”
Alpha Kilian’s gaze swept around him at those words. “Is that so?” he asked coldly. “You may do whatever you want if it appeases your anger.”
“Your men are listening,” Alpha Kilian pointed out. “Aren’t you afraid of frightening them?”
“One must pay the price for the mistakes they make,” Bloodmoon Pack declared. “It was their fault for offending you, Alpha Morris. They brought this upon themselves. As long as it appeases you, anything goes.”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Alpha Kilian laughed. His fair face emanated a severe chill. “And what if I’m still upset?” “What would you like to do, Alpha Morris?” Bloodmoon Pack asked patiently on the other end.
“I haven’t decided,” Alpha Kilian said slowly, his tone filled with provocation. “I am not short of money, after all. As for power, you weren’t even popular yet when I started my career.”
Eugene frowned as he listened to the exchange.
Bloodmoon Pack, too, fell silent on the other end of the line for a moment.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Bloodmoon Pack guffawed. “Hah! I knew you were somebody special, Alpha Morris. Even with power, an ordinary businessman would not have been able to avoid matters like this. Good job at concealing your involvement.”
Alpha Kilian said nothing in response to the unctuous words.
“Let’s not beat around the bush anymore, Alpha Morris,” Bloodmoon Pack proclaimed. “Tell me what you want, and I’ll honor it if it’s within my power.”
“All right, then. I’ll get to the point. I want all of the information regarding your old nemesis.” “Are you referring to Boss?” Bloodmoon Pack asked.
“Yes.”
Bloodmoon Pack’s man was startled. “Do you have a grudge against him, Alpha Morris?” “If I don’t, I wouldn’t have helped you with the goods.” Alpha Kilian spoke. “He is not somebody to be trifled with!” Bloodmoon Pack warned. “What’s wrong? Are you scared?”
“Scared? He has been my enemy for years. Why would I be afraid? I’m worried for you, Alpha Morris. Since you’ve already stepped down, you shouldn’t get involved in this business if you have no grudges. The outcome may not be in your favor.”
Alpha Kilian laughed. “Are you worried about me or that you’re unable to fulfill my demand?”
Bloodmoon Pack spoke again after another startled silence. “I will think of something. You will have it in a week.” “All right. I’ll be waiting.”
“As for my goods-”
“Naturally, you’ll get them after a week too!”
“You are indeed a businessman, Alpha Morris. That’s settled, then. One week!” Bloodmoon Pack man repeated before hanging up.
Alpha Kilian’s lips curled as his eyes twinkled with nefarious intent.
Eugene addressed Alpha Kilian at that moment. “We have crossed a line today, Alpha Morris, and are at your mercy for whatever you wish to do.”
Alpha Kilian’s gaze swept across the vicinity as he spoke with a husky voice. “If anybody dared speak to me in this manner back then, they may not even have the opportunity to complete their sentence.” As he spoke, his bloodthirsty gaze fell upon Eugene. “You should be grateful that I’m in a good mood today. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even know what killed you.”
