Chapter 866:
âNot at all,â Allison replied smoothly, settling into her seat and accepting the fragrant tea. âI have all the time in the world with him, after all. Thank you, Mr. Vargas. Whatâs on your mind?â
Kylo leaned back in his chair, his gaze drifting lazily over her as if he had all the time in the world.
âI hear that cruise will be buzzing with excitement tomorrow. You went there today to get everything ready, didnât you?â Kylo asked, his tone light but probing.
âAbsolutely,â Allison replied without hesitation, her lips curling into a playful smile as her eyes met his. âWhy? Are you interested?â
âI have no interest in the cruise itself,â Kylo said with a chuckle. âBut you, Ms. Clarke, have certainly caught my attention.â
He laughed softly, genuinely amused by her candidness. Her directness had caught him off guard, though it hinted at a certain level of trust. It left him wondering what other mysteries Allison might be keeping under wraps.
âI had someone dig into it,â Kylo added smoothly, his tone shifting to business. âIf youâre planning to pull this off, you might find yourself shorthanded.â
Kylo crossed his legs and locked eyes with Allison, his gaze sharp, as if he could read her every thought. âIf Iâm not mistaken, Ms. Clarke, youâve already decided to make a deal with me,â he said, his voice calm but knowing.
Allison silently acknowledged his sharp insight. He truly was like a clever fox, seeing through things others might miss.

âSince youâve figured it out already, Mr. Vargas, why donât we be honest with each other?â Allison said, her tone serious. âAre you interested in the Immortality Group? Weâll handle taking down the Fleeingland Lab, and the mayorâs power will take a big hit. You can swoop in and take advantage of the situation.â Kyloâs fake smile faded slowly as he listened.
He tapped his fingers lightly on his knee. âFrom what Iâve learned, youâre short on men. And with Bill getting involved, it might be tough to destroy the lab tomorrow.â
Allison didnât deny his words.
That was why Kyloâs involvement was crucial.
Some things didnât need to be spoken aloud; they both understood perfectly.
He smiled and said, âI can join, but youâll need to get rid of Verruckt and Josh first.â
Once those two were out of the picture, he could take Joshâs place.
The Immortality Group promised huge profits for him. Apart from the casino, he could easily break into the pharmaceutical industry.
âHereâs to a successful partnership.â
âTo a successful partnership,â Allison replied, finishing her tea in one swift motion. âBut tomorrow wonât be easy. I hope youâre prepared for that.â
Kylo nodded, fully aware she was testing his resolve. âOf course.â
He was curious to see how Allison intended to bring down the Fleeingland Lab.
It was bold and had never been done before.
