The strange man walked out. He was thin and ordinary-looking, but he carried a sharp and gloomy aura.
This man was very dangerous!
Rorey frowned and looked at the man with an inquiring gaze.
How could she not know that there was another man at home?
The man walked over and nodded at Rorey. Then, he looked at Xenia and said, "What do you need me to do?"
Xenia turned her head to look at Butler Zhao, who was lying under the stairs, and said, "Alan, dispose of it.”
Alan looked to the corpse with a slight flash of light in his eyes.
Xenia turned to look at him and asked, “What's wrong? Don't you guys often do such things? Are you scared?"
Alan withdrew his gaze and coldly looked at her, then he turned around and went downstairs.
It wasn't that he couldn't notice the sarcasm in Xenia's words, but so what? She wasn't wrong. They always did this.
Therefore, he didn't refute it.
"Mom, who is he?" Rorey frowned even more when she saw Alan moving Butler Zhao fearlessly. She felt that Alan was not a simple man.
"You don't need to know who he is. You just need to remember that Alan will help you with everything you want to do next." Xenia concealed Alan's identity because she didn't want her daughter to know who her biological father was.
"But..." Rorey still wanted to ask but was interrupted by Xenia’s harsh voice. "Stop, don't ask anymore."
Rorey was instantly stunned, with her eyes filled with disbelief. This should be the first time her mother was so fierce towards her.
Her serious and cold face made her feel scared. She even felt that the woman in front of her was so unfamiliar, as if she had never known her.
Seeing her daughter staring blankly at her, Xenia realized that she had overreacted. She quickly relaxed her expression and said softly, “Rorey, I'm just afraid that you won't be able to do anything with psychological burdens if you know too much. So, don't ask too much about some things. You just do whatever you want.’
Rorey stared fixedly at her. After a while, she nodded and said, "Alright, mom."
After saying that, she turned to look downstairs. Alan and Butler Zhao were gone. The pool of blood on the floor was especially bright red and terrifying under the illumination of the lights.
Rorey was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her gaze and hurriedly said to Xenia, "I'm going back to my room." Then she turned around and left.
When Alan moved Butler Zhao, he noticed that he was still breathing.
He had spent many years in sanguinary slaughters, and he had killed a lot of people. But at that moment, when he saw Butler Zhao's pale painful face, he even felt a bit compassion.
Perhaps it was because of what his boss said to him.
“Alan, we have risked our lives for so many years, but luckily we survive and have our current power. But I feel very tired. I can't ignore my life and death like a young man. The only thought in my mind when I pick up the knife is to kill my enemy. I'm really tired of that kind of life. If I were given a chance again, I would definitely choose to be a normal person and live a simple life."
When he said this, a trace of nostalgia appeared on his face.
At that time, he did not know about his past. Only when he saw Xenia did he know that his boss had once had a lover and a daughter.
He understood what his boss was missing.
He also thought of his elderly parents. Ever since he had been a gangster, he didn't dare to meet them for fear of bringing them trouble.
This separation lasted for many years, and they should be about the same age as Butler Zhao.
Thinking of this, he turned his car around and drove to the hospital.
If he could choose, he wanted to save people, not kill them.
