Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

After the car left, Ben and Tony intentionally went over to take a look.

It was an ordinary shop that sold general stuff like food and beverages. There weren’t a lot of products sold inside, but the building was pleasantly clean.

They walked around the shop, and it was then Thalia raised her eyes and saw the surveillance camera above her.

“Tony !” she shouted and used her eyes to signal him to look at the surveillance camera above them. Following her line of sight, Tony saw the surveillance camera and narrowed his eyes in response.

“Return to the car!” Tony was ready to leave.

Upon shooting a glance at him, Thalia said, “There’s no need to make things complicated!” Then she headed to the cash register and chatted with the shop owner.

After talking with him for a while, Thalia bribed the owner. He immediately smiled and agreed to let them watch the surveillance footage.

The boys promptly approached her when they saw that.

As the owner retrieved the footage she asked for, Thalia lowered her voice and asked, “What do you think? My way is faster, right?”

Tony glanced at her. “It’s possible to do that without spending any money.” “Then would you have known the frequency of these people showing up here?” “Are you saying…”

Thalia nodded at him with a grin.

Immediately, Tony asked, “What did the owner say?”

“Didn’t you say it’s doable without spending money? Give it a try yourself!”

Knowing when to eat humble pie, Tony quickly said, “That’s because I know how excellent you are. I just don’t want to admit it.”

“Then why are you admitting it now?”

“Well, that’s because… you’re just so excellent that nothing can hide it! Even if I don’t want to admit it, I have to.”

Despite knowing that he didn’t really mean it, Thalia still felt great when she heard it. She was greatly satisfied, especially when she saw how unwilling Tony was to say it.

“It pleases me when you humble yourself before me, Tony .” Thalia smiled.

“All right, that’s enough. Don’t go overboard, Thalia. You have money, but I have money too. I could’ve gotten the same answer!” Tony warned.

“Try it, then. I want to see you try!”

That prompted him to withdraw his smile and raise his head to stare at the person in front of him. “Sir- ”

“Do you think his fear of death is less than his desire for your money?” Thalia interrupted.

Tony forcefully swallowed his words and turned to look at her, who was currently smiling brightly.

Tony knew what the store owner would pick, of course. People naturally had a hard time resisting the allure of money, but when faced with the possibility of death, money would lose its value almost completely.

At that thought, Tony could not be bothered to continue arguing with Thalia. “You really are incredible, Thalia!”

The speed with which he changed his expression was comparable to that of a performer. However, Thalia knew Tony was feeling pretty anxious about the matter, so she didn’t push on.

“All right, since you have said so, I’m going to be nice and tell you what the shop owner said. Otherwise, someone like you, who’s far removed from the ordinary folks, won’t understand it!” Abruptly, Thalia

replaced her smile with a serious expression. “When I asked the store owner earlier, he said those people had been passing by the place often recently. While those people weren’t the ones who showed up today, it’s obvious they belonged to the same group.”

There was an indescribable look in Tony ‘s narrowed eyes.

“This means they probably live nearby!” Thalia speculated. “It’s possible that this place isn’t far from Midnight fang pack .”

Tony frowned when he heard that.

Right then, the owner retrieved the footage. He spoke to Thalia briefly before leaving. Thalia, Tony , and Ben gathered in front of the computer and watched the footage.

The first thing they saw was Nelly . She was seen exiting a car and entering the shop. Following her were two people maintaining a one-meter distance from behind her. Even though they seemed like they were her bodyguards, they were actually there to keep an eye on her. However, it was as though Nelly didn’t care about it at all because she just shopped around normally after stepping into the building. She appeared very focused as she picked what to buy.

Seeing that, Thalia couldn’t help but say, “Even though these two people were keeping an eye on her, it seemed that they didn’t want to offend her with how far they were standing away from her. She doesn’t look like she’s been kidnapped at all.”

Ben and Tony simply stayed silent as they stared at the screen.

In the footage, Nelly stopped for a moment in front of a shelf. When Tony saw her picking up an item, he suddenly went over to the same shelf.

“What are you doing?” Thalia shouted as she watched him leave. Ben whispered, “This is the signal that Nelly left us!”

“Signal?”

“Nelly ‘s a lazy person, so she rarely goes to the supermarket. When she does, she rarely shops around because she already knows what she wants to buy.”

Thalia lifted her eyebrows. “You two assumed that’s what she was doing just because of that? That seems kind of reckless. Besides, how did Nelly know you two would be here?”

Unsure of how to explain that, Ben simply said, “Nelly just knows.”

When the trio left the shop, Tony brought the bottle of drink Nelly touched with him.

While he hadn’t figured out what the message was, it didn’t mean it wasn’t there. He simply needed time to think about it.

After looking around the area and not finding Alpha Kilian ‘s tracks, they went back to their previously agreed-upon location.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

When they arrived, Dave was already there.

Tony knew what the result was when he saw Dave alone. It was the same for Dave when he saw them.

“I think this is enough for today. We can stay here for the night and keep searching afterward. Your daddy’s not going to be easy to find, so we need time,” Dave suggested.

It saddened Tony to hear that, but he still nodded.

At this moment, Dave noticed the drink in Tony ‘s hand and furrowed his eyebrows. “You like to drink that kind of stuff, Tony ?”

Staring at the drink in his hand that Nelly had touched, Tony frowned slightly before answering, “No. We ran into Nelly over there earlier.”

A puzzled look flashed past Dave’s eyes. “What did you say? You ran into her? Where is she?”

“She was with Boss. I only saw her from afar. Thalia mentioned it was very possible that it was a trap, so we didn’t go forward.”

Dave glanced at Thalia and nodded. “That’s a good judgment.”

“After they left, we went into the shop she was at. The building has surveillance cameras. Based on the

footage we’ve seen, we determined that this is the signal Nelly left us!” “Did she notice you guys too?”

Tony shook his head.

“Then how are you so certain this is the signal she left you?”

“Because those who are close to her will understand she doesn’t drink this. Yet, she bought this at the shop.”

“Maybe she bought it for someone else?” Dave speculated. The possibility was low but not zero. “Like who? Boss?”

“Maybe it’s because there wasn’t a better beverage choice, so she picked this one? In any case, there are a lot of reasons.”

“Nelly ‘s not that kind of person. She would rather drink plain water than this. That’s why I’m sure this is a signal she left us.”

“Okay, if that really is the case, how are you so sure this signal is left specifically for you?”

Just as Tony was about to explain, Thalia interjected impatiently, “Why are you asking so many questions? They just know that it’s true when it comes to matters like this because they’re blood- related. They can sense it. Why is it so hard for you to believe that a mother and her children understand each other very well? It’s a matter of instinct and feeling between people who are very familiar with each other. Are you going to tell me you never felt that way before?”

Dave turned to her. “I just want to confirm it. After all, how did she know they would come?” That was the most important thing he was curious about.

Pursing her lips, Thalia wanted to reply, but Tony went first. “It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not, Alpha Dave. This is the truth. She wasn’t sure if we would see her message, but we did.”

Thalia nodded. “That’s right. Besides, they may be young, but they’re intelligent.” Hearing that, Dave shifted his gaze to the drink in Tony ‘s hand. “Let me see.” Without hesitation, Tony gave it to him.

Dave grabbed the drink and examined it. It was a can the size of any ordinary beer can. The brand name that was printed on the can was Wilser.

“Wilser…” he muttered. As though he thought of something, he looked up and stared at Tony . “Which shop?”

“The one at the crossroad.”

“Take me there. I want to see the surveillance footage.”

It was then Ben spoke up. “There’s no need for you to go there to do that. I have it here.” Dave turned to the boy.

“I recorded it.” Ben pulled out his phone and showed Dave the surveillance footage.

Dave looked at Ben meaningfully. These two are pretty brilliant. Not only that, they’re thorough.

He then withdrew his gaze and watched the surveillance footage. The moment the screen showed Nelly picking up the drink, he paused the video, rewound it back by a few seconds, and watched it again.

He repeated the process twice to confirm what he saw was correct. It does seem that Nelly ‘s trying to convey a message.

“Look at what Nelly did.” As Dave spoke, the boys approached him. Thalia leaned over curiously as well.

It wasn’t until Dave replayed that specific part of the video a couple more times that Ben asked, “Nelly was trying to cover up the last part of the word?”

Dave nodded. “That’s right.”

“Wilser… Will…” Tony muttered. “What’s Will? Or who is he? What is Nelly trying to say?”
