Chapter 459 - Revenge 460: Only Mary Has (1/2)
Even before Johan left and betrayed the group, he never once saw Alfonso show any signs of weakness in front of him. And it is somewhat his fault that he never found a thing because he never really paid too much attention to Alfonso, and he regrets that deeply.
The only weakness that he knows is Alexandre. Unfortunately, he's doesn't like to kill a harmless baby. Rather, he would like to kidnap Alexandre and train him to be his loyal dog for future's sake.
In order for that to happen is to get rid of Alfonso first, but right now is not the right time for that.
”Are you heartbroken now that you have learned that I'm working under Johan?” Reid asked with a smirk on his face.
”As if.” Both Alfonso and Johan scoffed at the same time, and that surprised Reid.
”Boss! Why would you say that? You should be backing me up.” Ried pouted. He felt that it was unfair of Johan to reply to the same thing that Alfonso just said at the same timing.
”Though I am not on the same side of Alfonso, that doesn't mean I will back you up when you're saying stupid things. I told you before, get close to Alfonso casually, and don't get too friendly because it makes him not to trust you. But you didn't follow my words, that's why it's 'as if'.” It was no wonder why Reid couldn't find any other weaknesses of Alfonso. It's because of Reid's overly friendly attitude makes Alfonso put his guards up.
”I never thought that you have these kinds of stupid people around you, Johan,” Alfonso commented. For the first time, Alfonso never thought that he would agree on what Johan is saying.
Johan's tactic of putting someone to get close to him was good. But unfortunately, Johan's subordinate have another idea of his own that is why its mission is a complete failure.
”I guess was in a hurry on making my own organization from zero to what it is now that I forgot to look for proper men to work for me,” Johan said with a deep sigh.
This kind of exchange of words between Alfonso and Johan is making Reid confused. Both see each other as enemies, but the way they talk to each other doesn't seem like they are enemies at all. It's friendly in his point of view.
'Well, they were once friends, maybe that is the reason why they are talking like this.' Reid inwardly said.
”Okay. Enough of this.” Johan narrowed his eyes on Alfonso and he continued, ”Let me ask you this, Alfonso, why didn't you say anything when my master decided to make Mary be the leader of the group? You know full well that I'm much stronger than her.” Alfonso can tell that there is bitterness in Johan's tone of voice.
”I admit. You are stronger than any of us in our group, you are Master Harrison's best student in the field, but you are not worthy enough to become a leader because you don't have one thing that only Mary has out of all of us.” Alfonso knows that this answer of his will trigger the anger inside Johan, but he does not care. Johan wants an answer from him, then he will give it to him.
Irritated by Alfonso's reply, Johan asked, ”And what would that be? What is it that I'm lacking that only Mary has?” Deep inside, Johan knows that it's very pathetic of him to keep thinking about what happened in the past. But he could not help himself and he doesn't want to admit that it was his loss.
”You don't have the rationality of being a leader.”
Johan laughed loudly when he heard that. And that laughter caused Reid to slightly panic. Whenever Johan laughs like that, it could mean trouble, and most likely, he might get involved in that trouble.
Johan breathes deeply, trying to calm himself, then he replied, ”Yes. Of course, Mary does have that kind of side of her. I can never beat her in that aspect.”
Alfonso looks at the time on his watch, then he looks around the surroundings. There is no sign of Johan's men around the proximity. That means that Johan is genuinely telling him that he is not attacking him tonight.
Alfonso is not even sure if he should be thankful for that or not, but one thing is for sure, his son will not be seeing him covered in blood tonight.
