Chapter 934:
And just as the realization hit him, the cold, final kiss of the blade severed his throat.
âIâll grant your wish!â Allison said, her voice almost devoid of emotion as she withdrew the blade.
As his blood splattered across the floor, she stood beside the corpse, her expression impassive.
The man twitched for a moment, like a fish stranded on land, before his body finally went still.
Hearing the commotion, Kellan reappeared in the doorway. His eyes immediately landed on the blood splattered across the floor.
âLet me handle such things in the future,â he said, frowning as he reached for the blade in her hand.
âNot because of the kill,â he added, âbut because I donât want your hands getting dirty.â
âWith you around, Iâm not afraid of getting my hands dirty.â Allison allowed him to take the blade without protest.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and asked, âStill hurting from your wound?â
Kellanâs lips curled into a soft smile as he kissed her gently. âNot at all,â he replied, understanding that she was trying to distract him.

Maybe, just like him, she didnât want him to see the ruthless side of her.
He took her hand in his. âLetâs eat first. Iâll get someone to deal with the body afterward.â
Allison nodded, a small smile tugging at her lips. âSounds good.â After a quick change of clothes, they headed to the rooftop restaurant. But even as they settled into their meal, Allison seemed distracted.
âEven though I donât know what Danielâs planning, we canât afford any distractions,â she said, feeling as if she were already a step ahead of everything. It was like she was getting closer to understanding why she was abandoned all those years ago and what her motherâs secret really was.
It felt like once Hackerâs World was back online, everything would finally be exposed. Resting her chin in her hand, she continued, âWe need to make sure they focus elsewhere.â
Kellan, cutting into his steak with calm precision, didnât miss a beat. âDonât worry, Iâll get my people to keep the mafia occupied. They wonât have time to bother us.â His voice was reassuring. âAllison, just focus on what you need to do.â
She knew Kellanâs capabilities â once he gave his word, it was as good as done. Her smile softened. âThen Iâll leave it to you.â
As if a new thought had just struck her, she looked at him with a playful glint in her eyes. âOnce Hackerâs World is up and running again, we should take a break. How about traveling? We can watch the sea.â
It had been far too long since theyâd had a moment to themselves.
