Emilia didn’t seem to know too much about the matter, and no matter how he inquired, aside from making the girl stutter shyly, there was little substance in her response.
Alexander could obviously tell that someone had put her up to it, and it didn’t take him long to find out who it was.
He couldn’t help but chuckle in his mind. ‘Heh… in the end, you’re just a silly little girl. Even if your daddy told you to keep it a secret, what can you hide from me?’
Of course, there was no need to hit her pitiful little ego right away. Before the bird was secured in its cage, trying to pull at its feathers was likely to scare it away, after all.
After the girl reluctantly refused his invitation for dinner, Alexander disconnected the call with a sullen look on his face, not noticing the increasingly gloomy look from his ‘lapdog’ at all.
Tapping the table with his index finger, he couldn’t help but be a little annoyed. ‘Although she looks halfway decent, she really dares to refuse my invitation again, huh?’
Even though he knew that the meek little bitch simply didn’t dare disobey that ‘bodyguard’, it still put him in a bad mood.
After he was done dealing with that bitch who dared to humiliate him, Alexander didn’t plan to pay her any further attention. Even if she came to him crying on her knees, all she’d be getting is a boot to that delicate little face. Who knows, it might even make her look better than all that fancy makeup.
Regardless of her intentions, she had still watched that grey-haired girl humiliate him, after all. And even now, he had to treat her well for his revenge. Treating her like this would already be letting her go lightly, as far as he was concerned.
When was the last time that he had to mind his manners in front of someone? Alexander didn’t like the feeling at all. ‘Well… she’ll pay for it all later. Who knows, if she’s humble enough, I might even consider forgiving her after dealing with that grey-haired bitch…’
Alexander didn’t brood on it for too long, knowing it was only a matter of time till she fell into the palm of his hands.
Once he’d had his fun with her, he’d make her ruin and humiliate that gray-haired bitch herself, and then leave her crying and begging. No one humiliated him and got away with it. No one!
But what he needed to do now was deal with this sudden ‘threat’, and after thinking about it some more, he decided to call his father.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
”She told you this in person?”
Alexander coughed. “… yes.”
He naturally didn’t want his father to know about his humiliating experience. He was already avenging him for being beaten up now, and if he knew he had even been roughed up by a girl of all things, his father would definitely start to look down on him!
Sanders had no reason to doubt his son, so after thinking about it for a while, he nodded. “Don’t worry. The Black Tiger wouldn’t dare hurt a hair on your head.”
Alexander was naturally relieved after getting his father’s assurance, and disconnected the call with his confidence renewed.
Even if Mr. Black was powerful, in front of his father, what was he but a little ant that could be crushed at will? Look, with just a word, the Black Tiger was losing its position all over the world!
Of course, although Alexander’s thinking was simple, his father didn’t treat the Black Tiger with so much contempt. The reason he didn’t worry so much, however, was because he didn’t believe that they dared do anything to his son.
Although there was little doubt that the Black Tiger could deal with Alexander if they wanted, if they really dared to do so, would they have ever bothered hiding it was them who hurt him in the first place?
Currently, although the two of them were already at each other’s throats, the injuries they were inflicting were still what one could consider ‘flesh wounds’. It didn’t yet reach the bone, and wasn’t something that they couldn’t recover from.
Mr. Black couldn’t know how much importance he placed on his son, but killing or threatening such a close relative would without a doubt be as good as a declaration of full-on war.
It would be like escalating a few small border conflicts directly into a nuclear war. Not only would they both lose a great deal of resources in a short time, there was no way to predict how much damage they would suffer, or what the results would be.
Although he was ruthless, Alexander’s father knew that this opponent still had a sense of measure.
Unless he was absolutely sure that he could come out on top, he wouldn’t fully commit to this fight.
There was little doubt in his mind that everything that he had done before was meant as a ‘test’ to see how he will react, and Mr. Black’s ambition and caution were both reflected in his every move since then.
This was why he dared to leave his son in the Oriana country, and also why he wasn’t worried about his safety at all.
As for why that little girl would warn his son?
With Mr. White’s cowardly personality, there was no doubt that he didn’t want any trouble around him.
Alexander’s father couldn’t help but chuckle. “Maybe after discovering that his old rival might trouble my son, that little coward pissed his pants on the spot.”
He didn’t even dare approach his son in person, and actually sent his young daughter to talk!
But thinking about how it had always been the man’s wife who handled negotiations with his people whenever the need came in the past, this was only to be expected.
He clicked his tongue in derision. “Compared to that coward, though, his daughter isn’t actually that bad.”
But thinking about it again, he couldn’t help but sigh. “It’s a pity that the Nightingale clan has been getting a little restless lately, and the position of Alexander’s wife will need to be used to keep them in line… Forget it. Although it may make the little girl feel a little wronged, she can only be a mistress in this life.”
Of course, being born in one of the richest families in the world, he had no doubts that she would be reluctant to accept such a position, but who was Alexander? He had no doubt that his dragon son would easily be able to tame her arrogance.
Anyway, how tough can a coward’s daughter be?
He couldn’t help but chuckle. “It seems like the times are changing… soon, the Nightingale clan will truly submit to us fully, the Black Tiger will collapse, and the White Deer… heh… with only two daughters, where else can it go?”
With their current position being boosted by these two ‘big feasts’, perhaps before all his hair had finished turning white, the Gray Wolfe would already be able to completely eliminate Carmen country’s reigning government!
Just thinking about the day he could be a ‘true king’ and would no longer have to shake hands with Carmen’s president made Alexander’s father feel like his face was about to split from grinning too much. “Allie… Alexander… you’re really my lucky star!”
