Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

Ben promptly rushed over. Tony dug a black rope out of his bag.

“Although this isn’t rock-climbing equipment, it should work just fine!” Tony crowed. There was a hook-shaped item that appeared very exquisite on one end of the rope.

Taking it, Ben turned it over in his hands. A glimmer of surprise showed in his eyes. “Why does this look just like those ropes thieves use in movies?”

“It’s about the same. It’s a bit different but functions similarly,” Tony replied.

“No, I don’t get it. W-Why would you carry such a thing with you?” Surprise inundated Ben .

“Back when something happened to Donna , we had to climb down the cave. After that, I had someone customize this. I’ve been carrying it with me ever since. Never had I thought that it’d really come in handy now!” Tony explained.

Words eluded Ben .

“Come, let’s try it out!” Tony gushed, heading to the window with the rope in hand. “Wait!” Stretching out a hand, Ben stopped him.

“What’s wrong?”

“Wait for a while longer. There are people down there right now!” Ben warned. Looking at him, Tony hesitated for a moment before nodding.

“Calm down first. Think about where we’ll be going and what we’ll be doing after we get out of here. Even if we go and look for Daddy, can we still find him?” Ben questioned.

As he spoke, he strolled over to the couch and sat down. He held Tony ‘s gaze.

By then, Tony had already calmed down. “Even if we go out now, we definitely won’t be able to find him. But still, we’ve got to look for him, no?”

Ben was silent for a while, seemingly thinking about something. Subsequently, he lifted his head and looked at Tony . “Alpha Dave said that Daddy drove off in his car. Didn’t we track his car previously? Can’t we use the same method now?”

His remark was a timely reminder to Tony . “We can, but how would we know which car when he has so many cars?” he wondered.

“We’ll just try one by one, then.”

Feeling that it made sense, Tony turned on his computer in the next second. “Do you remember the license plates?”

“When I walked past previously, I took a few glances, so I somewhat remember.”

Upon hearing that, Tony immediately placed his hands on his computer. “Let me check the previous car first!”

Ben got up and walked over, watching beside him.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

A moment later, the location indicated was two hundred meters away from them. “This isn’t the one!” Tony groaned.

“Try this one!” Ben typed in a license plate on the keyboard. Again, the location indicated was two hundred meters away from them. “This isn’t it either!”

Glimpsing the pen and paper at the side, Ben snagged them and jotted a few license plates down. When it came to the final figure, he wavered slightly.

“It’s seven!” Tony interjected. Ben stared at him.

“I didn’t pay attention to the other cars, but I’ve got some impression of this one!” Tony maintained. After noting down the figure “seven” on the paper, Ben turned to him. “This is all.”

“I’ll try each one,” Tony remarked.

Ben didn’t budge but continued watching from the side. There were five to six cars in total.

Only when they reached the last car that the location indicated was a distance away from them. “Bingo!” Tony exclaimed excitedly.

Ben bent down and leaned closer for a look. Sure enough, the car was presently on the move. “Say, could it be this one?” Tony inquired.

“My instincts say yes!” Ben gazed at him, seemingly seeking affirmation. A while later, Tony echoed, “My instincts say the same!”

“Then, this is it!” The corners of Ben ‘s lips turned up, and he shifted his gaze back to the screen.

They both fixated their eyes on the screen and studied the direction in which the car was moving. Half an hour later, the car came to a stop.

“It has stopped!” Ben cried out.

“Where’s this place?” Tony wondered, his eyes pinned on the screen. “Send it to Thalia and ask her. Perhaps she knows,” Ben suggested. “Great idea!” Thus, Tony sent the location to Thalia.

At the same time, Ben phoned the latter. After a few rings, the call was connected.

“Hey, Thalia!”

“What’s the meaning of the location you sent?” Thalia asked. “Do you know where it is?”

“Judging from the location… it seems to be an uninhabited zone.” “An uninhabited zone? What does that mean?”

In response, Thalia elucidated, “Many years ago, this was a prosperous area. Later on, there was war, and the area became barren. For that reason, it’s known as an uninhabited zone. But that was years ago. I haven’t been there recently either. What happened? Why are you asking?”

“My daddy went there.”

“Alpha Kilian Morris ? Why did he go there?”

“If I’m correct, that person with the codename Boss asked to meet him there. Daddy went there to save Nelly !”

“How many people went along?” “He went alone.”

A brief pause came from Thalia. “Did he go to die?” Ben went speechless.

Seeing that Tony hung up on Thalia, Ben asked beside him, “Are you mad?” Tony shook his head. “No.”

“You’re still denying it when it’s written all over you?” Ben didn’t believe him.

Inhaling deeply, Tony closed his eyes and admitted, “I’m mad at myself for being too young and weak. Actually, Thalia is right. Her identity is inherently sensitive in regard to Daddy. We can’t impose this on her. I understand the principle of treating others as you want to be treated. I was just too reliant on her out of habit.”

Ben nodded as he listened. After all that reasoning, he had ascertained that Tony was indeed not angry.

“But why did you hang up on her?”

“That’s because realization suddenly dawned upon me, and I was a tad upset. This isn’t her responsibility and she has no obligation in the first place. In fact, we should be grateful that she accompanied us here and went around with us, investigating this and that. We shouldn’t have demanded more from her,” Tony answered.

Hearing that, Ben bobbed his head. “Then, you should have talked to her nicely. With you having hung up on her, she’ll probably-”

Before he had even finished his sentence, the phone rang again.

Lowering his eyes, Ben stared at the caller ID. “Speak of the devil!”

Tony realized his mistake as well. He took the phone away from Ben ‘s hand and answered the call.

“You’ve now gotten brazen, huh, Tony Jackson ?” Thalia lambasted as soon as the call was connected.

“Sorry about earlier!”

“Uh…” Thalia was still venting when she abruptly stopped upon hearing Tony ‘s sudden apology. Tony was exceedingly arrogant and had never apologized. Thus, she was promptly stumped.

“Hey, what other tricks are you up to now?” Thalia only managed to gather her thoughts after a long time had passed.

Unexpectedly, Tony remained solemn as he admitted, “I failed to consider the matter from your perspective earlier. You’re right, and I indeed shouldn’t be troubling you. As such, I apologize!”

Thalia was entirely lost.

She still had some tantrums in her if he hadn’t apologized. But when he had done so, she couldn’t shake off the feeling that she was abandoning them and leaving them to their fates.

“What is wrong with you, Tony ?” “What do you mean?”

“Why are you saying that you shouldn’t be troubling me? I’ve said that I’d always go all out and never back off when it’s something to do with the two of you. That aside, I promised Nelly to take good care of you both. What do you mean by saying that now? Are you trying to provoke me deliberately?” Thalia demanded in return.

“No!”

“What a lie!”

“In that case, I’ll apologize once more-” “Tony Jackson !”

“All right, I’m really serious. I don’t mean to provoke you at all. Really!” Tony vowed earnestly. On the other end of the line, Thalia had nothing else to say to that.

“Okay, I’ve still got something to do over here, so I’ll be hanging up. We’ll meet again when everything is over. At that time, I’ll leave with you,” Tony uttered.

At that, Thalia really didn’t know what to say on the other end of the phone. “Then…”

“Then, that’s it. It’s decided! So long!” With that, Tony hung up the phone once more.

Looking on beside him, Ben couldn’t help but admit that he harbored some admiration for Tony at that instant.

He admits it when he makes a mistake, willing to humble himself. On top of that, he can calm down quickly even when he’s at the height of fury and is able to comfort those who care about him. That alone had him impressed to the core.

Subsequently, Tony handed the phone to Ben . “Don’t answer first if Thalia calls again.”

“Why?”

“I’m worried that she still won’t be able to resist coming over in the end.” “Isn’t that exactly what you want?”

Tony shot him a glare, upon which Ben quirked an eyebrow. “What are we going to do if she isn’t going?”

“Why worry about going anywhere when we’ve got money? If there’s no other way, we can hire someone and rent a car. Anyway, we don’t have any problems making simple conversation now,” Tony replied.

In response, Ben nodded. “Okay!”

“Go and see how are things below,” Tony urged.

Ben walked over to the window and looked down, but there were still people coming and going beneath.

Standing by the window, he shook his head at Tony . Tony frowned, racking his brain for a solution.

“Otherwise, we can only wait until evening to make a move. It’s now broad daylight, so we’re too conspicuous.”

After mulling it over, Tony nodded. “That’s our only recourse, then.”

“Let’s check and see whether Daddy’s location has changed,” Ben proposed. Once again, they both fastened their gazes on the computer.

“It isn’t moving anymore,” Tony answered.

“I remember that this watch has a positioning function back when we searched for Donna . Can we send the location to our phones?” Ben queried.

“Yup!”
