Doted By The Alpha - Chapter 211

* * *

Walking out of the bas.e.m.e.nt, humming in a slightly better mood, Hanlu briefly checked his watch to see that he still had time before dinner. His lips quickly shifted into a smile and before he could even decide, his legs were already walking towards where Tian Zi and his friend were earlier. His main reason was because he wanted to annoy his younger brother but he also wanted to know who this Fyre Long was that Tian Zi didn’t even think twice about bringing the Omega to their secret base.

The Mo’s secret organization headquarters is one of the Mo Family’s top-secret facilities. This was where they trained most of their men. They’re mostly doing illegal stuff at the base ranging from training young missionaries, kidnapping, human experiments, firearms, and many more. Normally, no one should ever even be allowed to visit this place unless they’re a member or it’s Daniel.

Hanlu trusts Tian Zi’s ability to judge people, he has great intonation and is very meticulous just like their older brother Mo Laotian but that’s what Hanlu is most interested about. How was the Omega able to pass Tian Zi’s scrupulous eyes? And well, even if Fyre Long was a spy, Hanlu doubts a small Omega could do so much damage since their organization has quite a lot of powerful backers.

“What do you mean the place is abandoned?” Hanlu just arrived at where Tian Zi and his friend were staying when he heard the younger Alpha talked to someone on his phone. Hanlu thought for a bit and now he remembered that Tian Zi was supposed to gather information regarding Jordan Bronson. Hearing what he just said, it looks like it didn’t go well.

“Okay. Okay. Finish up whatever’s left there and go back. I’ll report this to Eldest Brother,” Hanlu heard Tian Zi say after a while before he ended the call and fell to the couch in frustration.

“I told you they’re hella careful. I tried tracking them down but they’re too careful. They know what they’re doing,” This time Hanlu heard Tian Zi’s friend say. Understanding what might have happened, Hanlu finally walked towards them.

“What happened?” Hanlu asked. A charming smile flashed on his lips while looking at the two youngsters. It’s funny to think that even though Tian Zi was months older than Daniel, he couldn’t see him as an a.d.u.l.t unlike Daniel. Right now, he looked like a 15 years old in Hanlu’s eyes. He was actually glad Tian Zi’s mission didn’t seem to work, he was against it from the beginning anyway.

“They left their current place and are probably staying silent from now,” Not even bothering to look at Hanlu, Tian Zi groaned and replied. This Bronson couple is really something. They’re very careful and definitely not stupid. With what they did to Luangmin and Lancel, they’ve foresaw that Hanlu and Laotian will come and get even with them so they escape before that happens. But this will just make his job even more difficult, an enemy hiding is the most difficult person to find even with his capability.

“Don’t stress yourself over them. Jordan Bronson will come to us voluntarily when he’s ready, his hiding is only temporary. When the time is ready we can destroy him,” Hanlu said still with his charming smile but unbeknownst to him, the blood splatter on his sleeve and shirt made him somehow like a wolf pretending to be a harmless dog. Well, at least for Fyre who unconsciously took a step backward towards Tian Zi. Despite a recessive, he was still an Omega. Mo Hanlu looked like the walking sun, although warm, getting close to him will burn you to death. Earlier, Fyre admired the older Alpha but now he felt terrified.

“I can’t not stress over this. They’re a ticking bomb, they still can do anything they want to us again now that they’re still out there,” Tian Zi whined before his eyes landed on Fyre. He noticed how stiff he was so he quickly frowned confused. But it didn’t take a minute for him to quickly read the Omegas body language that he sprung up from the chair and held Fyre lightly.

For the past few days since he had met Fyre, he had shown quite a fierce personality. He doesn’t act like an Omega at all making him unique but now, looking at him he looked like a cornered hamster. Tian Zi wanted to tease him but he decided not to because it felt like he shouldn’t. After all, he just looked cold but he wasn’t despicable. He wouldn’t tease anyone that’s having a hard time unless they’re enemies.

Fyre might have a sharp tongue but he wasn’t bad in Tian Zi’s opinion.

“Why don’t you go already? Coming up here looking like that, who’s trying to scare?” Tian Zi suddenly roared at Hanlu. If it was him, this much was nothing. He had seen a lot worse when he was younger and knowing that they had finally caught Lan and Luangmin’s kidnapper, Tian Zi was surprised Hanlu only got this much blood on him. Tian Zi was expecting a lot more gore than a couple of blood splatter on his clothes.

“Ahh, I did perhaps scare your friends?” Hanlu asked, sounding a little insensitive. Honestly he didn’t even care because this was his place, he could walk around covered in blood and no one would ever call him out for it. “Don’t worry little one, this one was a bad guy. And he’s still alive so no murder today,” Hanlu added throwing a thumps up as if it would reassure Fyre.

“N-No, I’m fine. It wasn’t that,” Fyre said, trying to push an old memory. And even though it sounded like a joke, Hanlu’s words did calm him down a little.

“Hmmm, but I understand that my appearance bothered you so I shall go ahead first,” Hanlu said, his eyes shifted to where Tian Zi was holding before he looked at his face and then to Fyre and then later smiled again. Tian Zi was quite observant so his eyes suddenly opened wide as he finally understood why his older brother was acting weird. Normally he wasn’t like this. He was still annoying but not weird like this.

Tian Zi was just about to burst quickly letting go of Fyre when Mo Laotian suddenly passed by while in the midst of wearing a bulletproof vest. Hanlu was quick to frown this time and with lightning speed, he hastily approached him.

“W-w-wait! Where on Earth are you planning to go?” Hanlu scolded.

“Team D needs back up,” Laotian simply replied. He just received a message that the team assigned to gather information about Jordan Bronson’s location was currently chasing after an escaping van and they believed that they’re holding David Perrel as a hostage.

Before he left to go to Africa, David suddenly asked for a leave. It was something he hadn’t done even when his wife was sick. Laotian back then didn’t suspect anything but now that this happened, the Old butler might have known that his son was targeting them so he tried to stop him but in the end he was held hostage. David was like family to Laotian, it was only natural that he would save him no matter what.

“Back up? You don’t need to go, send Nigel instead. You’re still injured,” Hanlu said. He was appointed by Daniel to watch over his stubborn husband and not let him out of his bed and room and that if he didn’t, Daniel won’t ever let him carry the twins when they’re out. Hanlu had no choice, the twins were his beautiful creation but now he’s being threatened to not ever be able to touch them so he needs to take up this task without fail. If Laotian was just going out for a night stroll, Hanlu wouldn’t mind lying to Daniel but this is different, his stubborn older brother could actually get injured severely.

“They have David as the hostage,” Laotian said, not listening to Hanlu. He knew he promised to Daniel he wouldn’t do anything dangerous and that he would obediently rest but this matter was different, surely Daniel will understand when he tells him later.

“David!?… How did he get there?” Hanlu asked, surprised. Just like Laotian, Hanlu treats David as his family as well so of course he too would want to save him.

“That’s what I want to know. I’m going, you can’t stop me,” Laotian said and proceeded to walk and on cue someone approached him and handed him his gun. Hanlu just watched him for a quick second before without a second thought he followed.

“You two stay here. Don’t do anything rush,” Hanlu said to both Tian Zi and Fyre before he finally disappeared. Meanwhile, Tian Zi frowned again hearing his older brother’s words before again he suddenly cursed knowing what Hanlu probably meant to say.

“I’m coming with you. I want to save David too,” Hanlu simply said and quickly ordered someone to go get him his things too. Not 5 minutes had passed, Laotian and Hanlu were quickly heading to the location where team D had an encounter and not long after they were soon about to arrive.

“You should stay in the car while I check the situation, when things get complicated, back us up,” Hanlu suggested while he securely buckled up his bulletproof vest and while Laotian checked his gun as he listened without talking. Hanlu wasn’t sure if Laotian understood him or not so he then looked at Nigel.

“Nigel, you stay with him,” Hanlu ordered again just to make sure his older brother won’t do anything reckless. Although Laotian was probably still stronger, Hanlu can never be so sure. At times like this, he should be the one protecting him.

Finishing checking his gun and magazines, it’s been a long time since Hanlu had an encounter like this so he was quite excited. Finally not very long after, their van suddenly stopped and not far from where they were they could hear gunshots that they leaned down a little. However, unexpectedly, Laotian opened the car door and was quickly exchanging fires with the enemies.

“What the hell are you doing!?” Hanlu called but everything was too late. Laotian was already too far away. He didn’t have a choice but to back him up instead. Hanlu quickly positioned himself, he looked at the situation and it seemed pretty bad. D team aren’t mainly good with combat like this since they’re only for gathering data but in many cases they could still manage.

Moving closer to one of their vans while making sure he wouldn’t be hit by stray bullets, Hanlu quickly found one of their men lying on the floor holding his wounded stomach. The wound didn’t seem like it was fatal but blood was everywhere. It was good that they arrived quickly.

“What’s the situation?” Hanlu asked, looking around.

“We were concerned,” He answered between his heavy breaths. If it weren’t because they were cornered, they would have rescued David Perrel without a problem but then suddenly the enemy’s back up came and they were sandwiched. If Laotian and Hanlu were a second late, they would have been dead by now.

“Okay, hang in there,” Hanlu said as he nodded. He heard another gunshot but later it suddenly became silent. Hanlu looked around and it looks like his older brother had killed them all in an instant without him even showing off his skills. He hasn’t even used half of his magazines.

“What in the!? You could have left at least one for me,” Hanlu said looking at the blooded heads of their poor enemies. Laotian had always been good with guns but it had been such a long time, Hanlu didn’t expect his older brother was still that good with it. He might be now a husband head over heels in love with his wife but his skill was still the best.

“You were too slow. There were only 3 of them left, one of them is already injured,” Laotian quickly said. He didn’t even sweat a little, Hanlu’s concern was useless.

“Whatever, where is he?” Hanlu quickly brushed Laotian off, indicating David’s location. There were three heavily tinted vans from the enemies and two from them in the area.

“Sir, he’s here,” Nigel suddenly reported not far away from them. Hanlu and Laotian quickly approached, however as soon as they saw David, shock was visible in their eyes. The well-groomed David that they knew was now standing weakly in front of them with bruises on his body. He had lost a lot of weight as if he hadn’t been fed with anything but a glass of water a day.

“David,” Hanlu called worriedly and without a second thought helped the old man stay on his feet.

“My apologies Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, you had to see me like this,”

A/N (Because this message doesn’t fit the Author’s Note space provided by WN): Hi. For those who knew. Good news everyone! MangaToon finally posted their public apology, you can see it now if you go to their mobile app front page banner. I can now feel a little bit safe posting my book out here again for everyone to read. To be truly honest with you all, because of what had happened I planned to have a hiatus because I didn’t want MT to successfully take both S1 and S2. I thought that because I’m just an unknown writer, MT would ignore me and continue to do the Otome adaptation. Thankfully they listened and discontinued it. I thank you all who came to the app and help spread what MT did on the comment section of the Otome adaptation. I said it a lot already but I truly appreciate you all from the bottom of my heart.
