Chapter 128: Ch 128: Threat to the PC Cafe- Part 2
Ben’s sudden entrance made Emma slap her forehead and then rub it to stop the building headache.
But once she realized that it was not going to work out, she turned toward Ben and decided to answer him.
"Sorry, I don’t have a solution for this. I guess we would have to et the demands those people are making anyway in order to get rid of the current problem. Ugh, I did not want to involve others in this ss."
Emma complained as she made a decision.
Their conversation sparked interest in
so I coughed to remind the pair that I was there as well. They looked startled to see
but Emma just sighed as she decided to address .
"Kyle, sit down. It’s ti you and Theo know what is going on as well. Ben, would you mind getting Theo for —"
"I am here as well. I heard my na and decided to co here. Is sothing the matter?"
Speak of the devil and he shall appear... that was what I felt in my heart as I felt Theo taking a seat beside .
He looked the sa as always, but there was just... sothing about him that had changed.
There was a sharpness in his aura that had not been there before and it made
feel a little on edge as he sat down beside .
But then Theo flashed his smile toward
and I felt like I could forget about anything and everything that he might have said to
at this point.
’Darn it. It’s just getting worse and worse. I am sure that Theo can do anything he wants and I would end up forgiving him at this rate. What should I do now?’
I asked myself but I had no solution to my dilemma.
"Anyway, the reason I called you both here and wanted you to hear
out is because this would affect you both as well. Soone approached
to buy the shares of this PC Cafe from
and I said no. But they threatened to use violence if we don’t comply."
Emma told us both with a worried look on her face and Theo gave her a simple look.
"If you are being threatened, then why not use force to repel them? You have enough money to hire a hunter. Besides, we have Kyle as well, right? Who would be foolish enough to threaten Ace?"
Theo asked with a calm look on his face and Emma looked taken aback. She looked at Theo and then at
with wide eyes, not believing what we had just told her.
"I... never thought about that. Why did I never try to ask Kyle for help?... But the issue at hand is not that pressing? Surely there are more pressing matters for Ace to attend to?"
Emma asked
but she suddenly looked a little hopeful and I felt just slightly betrayed because she did not think I would have helped her out if she had asked.
Heck, I would have helped her out even if she had not asked but simply hinted at the fact that she needed help.
"Emma, this is my ho and I want to protect it at all costs. The fact that you did not try much tells
that this opponent is not easy to deal with. But that should not be a problem for ."
I told her and Emma looked beyond grateful.
Her expression looked rather relaxed after I told her I would help but then it hardened once more as she looked serious. I felt just a little nervous as she looked at
with her calm eyes.
"The one who wants to buy this place is the association’s chairman. He is adamant that our cafe location is necessary for public safety and needs to be sold to them."
Emma told
and I could see the problem here.
No matter how much the association had fallen, their chairman still had considerable influence over the masses and could sway them toward their side.
If he declared this place as necessary for people’s safety, then Emma would have no grounds to refute if he asked for it.
Especially not if she wanted to retain people’s trust in her.
"Huh-! Isn’t the solution to this situation rather simple? The chairman might have a lot of influence, but we also have soone with a lot of influence, right? I an, Kyle is just there. Surely, we can borrow Ace’s na from him."
Theo asked and Emma looked taken aback. Even I felt a little taken aback when I heard Theo speak like that. I had not expected him to make such sense.
Not only that, but Theo also sounded confident and it was safe to say that there was sothing truly different about him today.
"Huh-! Theo, you... are making too much sense. Did sothing happen to you?"
Ben asked as he looked at his fellow Alpha with a proud look on his face. But Theo remained passive as he spoke to the pair.
"Well, this is a place that I want to protect since it is where I am currently living with Kyle. I would also like to pay those association bastards back for ssing with Kyle in the past as well. This is like striking two birds with one stone."
Theo told us with a smile. But sothing about that smile made
uncomfortable.
Sothing about Theo was... a lot different than before. But I could not put my finger on what it was.
Not that I got to observe him for a lot longer because Emma turned toward
and grabbed my hands.
"Kyle, you don’t have to listen to Theo about this, alright? You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. You have already broken off your ties to the association. There is no need for you to go back into this ss."
Emma told
with a serious look on her face and I just gave her a small smile.
"I know. But I do want to help you out here."
I told her with a strong smile on my face.
