Chapter 1150: All the reason to come at you
Meanwhile, in the Secret Floor...
Ivy and Axel stood in the corner, watching Dominic work in the main system of the Secret Floor.
"What is he doing?" Ivy leaned to her side where Axel stood, arms crossed. "Does he know how to do some hacking?"
"I doubt." Axel shook his head, his eyes fixed on his brother. "Maybe he learned a thing or two in the past year, but I doubt he knew more than he should."
"Then what is he doing?" Ivy furrowed her brows, curious.
"Like I said, I have no idea." Axel’s expression turned darker the more he studied his brother’s visage. "What happened during his visit to the ancestral home?"
"Nothing."
Axel shot her a quick and sharp look. "I’m not asking as your friend, but your boss’s brother. There’s nothing you’d say that makes me change my mind about grandma."
Ivy pursed her lips and sighed, shrugging. "I don’t know the details. All I know is that whatever Grandma Zhu told him rattled him. I barely managed to keep him calm because I thought he would kill someone."
What she said only raised more questions than answers. Axel already accepted that their family wasn’t that great like what others see it. It was the reason he would rather stay estranged than get reminded of how his grandmother and parents chose to protect their family’s reputation and sold Silas’s innocence.
Even so, Dominic chose to stay in contact with them because they were still family. Not that Axel was against it. After all, they were different, and he understood that regardless of what happened in the past, Dominic often made a sound decision.
