Gabriel’s face went pale.
Xander seemed to remember something else and said with concern, “Gabriel, do you need an exorcist? I’in worried that Susan’s father will come to strangle you tonight.”
Gabriel almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
I thought back to my past hardships and couldn’t help but laugh. My wolf was amused, “MY BOSS IS SO RUTHLESS HE EVEN SCOLDS HIMSELF, YET HE’S CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE ELDERS, WHAT A GOOD PERSON.”
Not only did I fail to suppress my laughter, but the people on the sofa were also ofthe verge of internal injuries from holding back.
Susan’s lowered head couldn’t be lifted.
Gabriel finally understood.
This kid was purely toying with him.
No wonder David said this kid was more cunning than a fox and more venomous than a cobra. It was as difficult to control him as it was to ascend to heaven.
Since he refused to accept the wine, don’t blame him for playing dirty.
“Mr. Shaw, you’re… just so sharp–tongued.”
Gabriel laughed, breaking the awkwardness, “I didn’t say I wouldn’t help Susan. I mentioned it, but the girl is stubborn and doesn’t want to owe anyone. But now that you’ve mentioned it, I also feel ashamed. Tomorrow, I’ll go pay Susan’s mother’s medical
expenses.”
Xander:“I wrongly accused Gabriel. You wouldn’t incite a young girl to do this. I’ll punish myself.”
He picked up his wine glass again and took a sip.
Gabriel:“Just one sip for punishment? Mr. Shaw, you’re not generous enough.”
Xander:“Downing it all would be a waste.”
Gabriel: “It’s just a bottle of wine, Mr. Shaw, you’re finding excuses to avoid drinking.”
Xander became slightly serious. “It is just a bottle of wine, but thinking that half a glass costs almost ten thousand, a toast costs twenty thousand… I’m genuinely afraid that Susan’s father will be waiting at our bedside tonight. Aren’t you scared?”
Gabriel:“…”
He rubbed his temples, giving up on arguing with this kid. His wolf was exhausted, “THIS KID’S MOUTH SHOULD BE SEWN
SHUT!”
I had a feeling Xander probably participated in many debate competitions in college.
I started feeling sorry for Gabriel; why bother provoking him?
Gabriel was deflated, and the others were even more afraid of provoking Xander. This young Alpha was truly… terrifying.
He seemed like someone looking down from a high place, seeing through their tricks yet not brutally exposing them. He played with them like a cat toying with a mouse.
In the end, the mouse realized it had been played. And his alpha aura was well–concealed, appearing harmless.
1’s 9:30, is still early, I’m going to rest.”
Kander stood up from the sofa.
Gabriel stood up, and the others also stood up.
