Chapter 940: Escaped... or nah?
"Our boss told me to check on how the children were doing. I’m sending some people to pick them up — Sir Dominic’s orders."
After hearing Dane’s short phone call, Alfred couldn’t help but cast Dane a side-eye. "Do you think that would work?" he asked out of plain curiosity. "If Dominic Zhu is here, I’m sure he already told his other people about your betrayal."
"That’s right." Dane placed the phone down, his expression dark and solemn. "Knowing him, he surely would’ve given out a memo about me."
"Then why did you do that?"
"This is why I sometimes find partnering up with you irritating, Alfred." Dane clicked his tongue. "You’re strong, but sometimes, slow."
Alfred frowned but wasn’t surprised by Dane’s remarks. It wasn’t a secret in their group, after all. And even when he first met Dane, the latter directly told him the reason for recruiting him. It was his strength and fearlessness, despite his lack of intelligence.
"I only called one of his bodyguards because, for sure, he would tell Dominic about what I did," Dane explained nonchalantly. "It’s my warning to him. Considering Alexander Cafre is attacking Dragon as we speak, then that meant they probably knew what happened to him and those little runts. I don’t think they would even dare try to escape without considering confronting us."
Dane paused as he tapped his finger against the rifle on his lap. His brief silence compelled Alfred to cast him a quick look.
"What is it, boss?" Alfred asked. "Why did you turn quiet so suddenly?"
"I’m just worried about one person."
"Worried?" Alfred furrowed his brows, his guard was all up the soonest he heard his boss use the word ’worry.’
