GoodReadWalter, far from being angered, actually chuckled and made no move to step aside. "Oliver, you chere alone
spewing threats. Don't you find that laughable?"
Alexander narrowed his eyes, a mocking smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "Why don't you guess why |
dared to chere by myself?" Walter studied him for a long moment, attempting to read something from his
expression, but eventually gave up.
"Whatever," he smiled again, turned his head towards the kitchen and called out, "Quinn, cout." Upon
hearing this, an unusual flicker of emotion crossed Alexander's face. Instantly, he fixed his gaze on the kitchen
door, staring intently. After a few seconds, Quinn slowly walked out from inside and stood at the doorway, head
bowed. Alexander's reaction brought a hint of satisfaction to Walter's face.
"Quinn, tell Alexander, do you want to go back with him?" Alexander's eyes bore into her. Quinn remained silent,
and the silence stretched on.
"Quinn, chere!" Alexander suddenly raised his voice, a threatening undertone creeping in his call. Quinn
flinched slightly. For her, whether she stayed with Walter or went with Alexander made little difference.
But the thought that Alexander didn't need her, that she was always the unchosen one, that he could abandon

With a bitter twist to her lips, this time, Quinn shook her head subtly. Alexander's gaze shifted, then his
expression darkened at an alarming rate. He moved swiftly toward Quinn. Walter snagged his arm, but Alexander
swung back with a punch aimed at his face.
Dodging the blow with a step to the side, Walter's other hand whipped out, now brandishing a gleaming
switchblade. The sharp blade glinted as it thrust toward Alexander's throat.
With cat-like reflexes, Alexander turned his head, avoiding the blade, and immediately seized Walter's wrist,
pinning it down. Walter was quick too.
As Alexander tried to apply pressure, Walter let the knife drop, only to catch it mid-air with his left hand. Walter
lunged with a reverse stab, but Alexander retreated just in time, feeling the blade graze his cheek.
Simultaneously, he landed a solid kick to Walter's midsection.
