Chapter 182 Baylon Is Sulking
Chapter 182 Baylon Is Sulking
“I’m not weak; you’re the one who’s weak!” Baylon snapped his folding fan shut with a dramatic snap, like he’d just been insulted, and practically exploded.
Kendrick, never one to miss a chance to mess with Baylon, chimed in, “If you’re not weak, why are you getting so worked up? Quinton was just being thoughtful. If you really are feeling off, let him prescribe something for you. No need to avoid treatment out of pride.”
“I said I’m not weak!” Baylon practically shouted, as if the louder he got, the more believable it became.
Waylon shot him a glare. “Fine, you’re not weak. No need to yell.” Couldn’t he see there were two girls right next to them? Shouting about something so awkward like he wanted the whole world to hear–this guy was honestly too dumb for words.
Waylon knew Quinton had brought this up on purpose, half because Freya came in and didn’t even recognize him, and half because Jasmine hadn’t shown him much warmth either. Still, Waylon couldn’t say much; when it came to protecting their own, none of them were any less fierce than the others.
He had no choice but to steer the conversation elsewhere. “Since Freya’s here now, why don’t we get moving? No point sitting around when we’re supposed to be testing the game.”
Quinton gave Waylon a look that held some deeper meaning. The corner of his mouth lifted just slightly. On anyone else it might’ve seemed casual, but on his scholarly, refined face, the gesture sent a chill down Baylon’s spine. He instantly regretted everything and wished he could go back in time and smack himself.
Out of all the brothers, Quinton was the most devious. Louis rarely bothered arguing with them and would mess with them openly. But not Quinton. He was subtle; he’d sell you out and you’d probably end up counting the money for him yourself. Baylon had to be out of his mind to mouth off at Quinton–especially when Quinton was already in a bad mood these days.
*mount.
Freya was clinging to Jasmine, wanting to ride together. Waylon twitched at the sight, quickly stepped in, and said, “Freya, I was thinking of letting Jasmine try out Louis‘ fly” Why don’t you go with Louis for now?”
“You guys want to try the flying mount? Then I’ll ride mine solo,” Freya said. She didn’t want to get in the way of anyone’s gaming experience. “Jasmine, we’ll ride together later.”
Waylon hurried to stop her, “Louis has another mount–a floating beast. Don’t you want to

try it?”
“Floating beast? What’s that?” Freya paused, halfway into mounting her horse.
While the girls were talking, Louis summoned a pale blue, nearly transparent giant fish. It was beautiful and elegant, swaying its tail and turning its head to look at Freya.
“What a gorgeous fish!” Freya was instantly drawn in. She hurried over with eager little steps and gently touched it. The texture was silky smooth. The fish let out a pleasant sound the moment she touched it, and even its voice was nice. “Where did this fish come from?”
“It’s a brand–new design; just added for testing.” Louis reached out his hand to her. Without hesitation, Freya took it and he pulled her onto the fish.
“Louis, you’re so biased. Freya says she wants to ride and you let her. We ask and you shoot us down,” Baylon whined.
“Two grown men riding together–you don’t find that weird?” Quinton cut him off coolly, shutting down the rest of his complaint.
Kendrick glanced at Baylon and figured all the recent chaos at his company must’ve fried his brain. Louis and Freya were clearly in their own little world. What was Baylon thinking trying to squeeze in? Hadn’t he noticed that the second Louis logged in, he barely said hello to them before heading straight for Freya?
He wasn’t acting like he didn’t care anymore. It was obvious Louis now saw Freya as one of his own.
It was hard to accept, sure–but Kendrick had come to terms with it. If that weren’t the case, Waylon wouldn’t have honestly called out to Freya, and Quinton wouldn’t have limited himself to one sarcastic jab even though he was clearly annoyed.
Freya had her flaws, but at least she wasn’t scheming. Kendrick figured if Louis liked her, then that was that. Accepting her wasn’t a big deal. Without any powerful backing, she might actually save Louis a lot of trouble.
