Chapter 364 The Sinking Ship



Chapter 364 The Sinking Ship

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

After hearing the scathing remarks of his \'big bro\', Jake initially wanted to complain that at least he was more sincere than the man that Alexander had received from the airport, who was nowhere to be found, but in the end he couldn\'t bring himself to do so.

With his extraordinary moves, the old man was likely to be someone with a great background, and the blond boy didn\'t think it was too strange for him to not pay attention to \'small folk\' like them. Perhaps he was busy dealing with some more important matters.

And as for Alexander… although Jake could feel that their friendship was no longer what it used to be, as his friend seemed to treat him worse and worse with every passing day, Jake had already firmly tied himself to this ship.

Even if it was going to sink, jumping overboard right now would only get him drowned sooner.

Therefore, the blond boy could only grit his teeth and bear with it, no matter how he was treated. "S-Sorry, big bro… I-I didn\'t eat or drink much while waiting for you to wake up for so long that I—"

Alexander took one look at the food box in the blond boy\'s hands before realizing that he was actually quite famished. Feeling a little less annoyed, he quickly snatched over and used the plastic spoon in the box to dig in.

Jake couldn\'t help but feel a little dumbfounded when the food he had lined for was all taken away, but before he could even finish lamenting, Alexander had already started spitting it out on his feet.

"Hyak! Gross, disgusting! What the fuck is this trash?!"

Jake stared at the disgusting mess on the floor as he frowned. "D-Does it taste so bad?"

Alexander threw the rest of the packaged food to the floor in disgust, and the opened packet created an even bigger mess. "It\'s shit!"

Jake hadn\'t even gotten to taste it for himself, so he couldn\'t confirm whether the taste was really that bad, but he knew that he would still have to line up again.

Alexander sneered when he saw the regretful expression on Jake\'s face. "Throw the trash where it belongs. I\'m still hungry, but don\'t bring me the garbage from the hospital cafeteria. Go get some from a nearby hotel, you hear me? I\'ll let you decide what to bring, but it better be good."

The blond boy couldn\'t help but grit his teeth. "I-I\'ll go, but…"

Alexander frowned impatiently. "But what? Don\'t waste my time!"

Looking at the unfriendly expression on the face of his \'big bro\', Jake knew that if he didn\'t ask now, he would never be able to do so later. "U-Uh… s-sorry big bro, b-but… can you tell me what happened to you after we got out of the car? I can\'t seem to remember it at all."

All Jake could recall was that he was examining the blown-out tire when he suddenly lost consciousness, but when he woke up, they were already in a different place.

Moreover, his \'big bro\' already had his face beaten to the point of looking like a hideous purple pig!

It had been bothering him since he woke up without any signs of injuries at all.

What happened? Who or what could do such things? Was the old man who was fighting earlier taken away, decided to hide on his own… or dead?

And most importantly… was the target of those attackers that old man… or his \'big bro\'? If it was the latter, weren\'t the two of them in a lot of trouble?

Alexander gave him a gloomy look. "Do you really not remember?"

Seeing him nervously shake his head in denial, the dark-haired man could tell that the younger male didn\'t dare to lie to him at all, and some of his earlier frustration was finally alleviated.

Although what he went through was undoubtedly still humiliating on its own, its impact was somewhat softened if he could perhaps keep the matter somewhat of a secret.

As long as the people responsible were dealt with properly, suffice to say, no one but himself would know what had really happened in that back alley.

Now that Alexander knew that Jake didn\'t know about what happened, he was no longer someone who needed to be disposed of, so the dark-haired man would naturally no longer treat him as harshly as before. "Alright, I\'ll explain what happened later, but first… where\'s my phone?"

Jake quickly took out the second phone he had been carrying around before handing it over. "The staff kept it in the drawer, but I took it away since it could contain details about our deals and stuff, so—"

Alexander waved his hand in dismissal. "Alright alright, whatever, I don\'t really care. We can chat more later, but first, go do what I told you and get me some food! Oh, and make sure what you bring is actually fit for consumption, got it?"

The blond boy grinned helplessly. "Okay, big bro, I got it."

Although Jake\'s expression twisted a little, he quickly stepped out of the room before his true thoughts could be seen through. \'I really can\'t keep sticking to him, or I\'ll suffer more and more!\'

The blond boy knew that he had to find a place to jump off of this sinking ship so he could still swim off to safety, or he would just be waiting to die.

Even if Alexander was talented, he had made enemies that he probably couldn\'t afford to offend, and with how he treated him now, Jake was no longer interested in enduring hardships side by side.

All he wanted to do now was get out safely.

Thinking about how the dark-haired man even dared to have thoughts about the White Deer\'s little princess, and what happened to every other girl he targeted before, it was only a wonder that this hadn\'t happened sooner.

Suddenly, it was like a light bulb had gone off in his head. \'Wait a minute… as long as I can make Emilia realize that Alexander isn\'t how he seems, and can \'save\' her, won\'t I be able to earn her guardian\'s gratitude? With their help, solving all my problems will be a piece of cake!\'
