The World of Beasts: She's Got Their Hearts

As Ryan had expected, someone came less than three minutes later. "Officer York, Lord York would like to see you."

Ryan did not move. Instead, he spoke scornfully toward the second floor, "I wonder if I can leave the Lordship Estate alive today."

The therian did not get angry at what Ryan had said. Instead, he smiled even more widely and continued to try and persuade him to rush into the villa. "Officer York, you know the answer to that. You and Lord York are cousins.

"Why must you make things look so bad? Isn't that just going to make the two of you a laughingstock?"

Ryan huffed and got up slowly. "Oh, really? I thought we were enemies. I was almost refused entry, and he even said specifically that he wouldn't see me."noveldrama

"Don't be silly, Officer York." The therian glared at the guard and smiled as he led Ryan into the villa. "Let's not make Lord York wait."

Ryan ignored him and strode into the villa on his own. Colossus City had so many civilians, and they could not be neglected just to spite Russell.

When Ryan arrived upstairs, Russell was already waiting in the study on the second floor.

The plump male got up quickly from the couch when he saw Ryan, and there was even a smile on his face. "Ryan, what's going on? Why is it suddenly costing 100,000 Cosmocoins for one?"

"Oh? Lord York, I can't possibly allow you to address me so informally." Ryan sneered.

"Ryan, come on. It's not that big a deal." Russell waved a hand and poured a cup of coffee for Ryan using the water dispenser bot.

"Must you keep that Nelson fellow?"

Ryan did not take the drink that Russell held out to him.

"He once saved my life, so of course I have to help him."

It was the same excuse as always.

"Can't you use a different excuse?" Ryan was tired of hearing it.

"He saved your life once, but how many times have you helped him? Hasn't the debt been cleared yet?

"If you work with Reclaimers like him, are you going to remain stubborn like this even when Interstellar Alliance is joining forces to get rid of The Reclaimers?

"You still have a way out since that incident involving Sean. Otherwise, we're going to become the first target for Interstellar Alliance," Ryan said coldly.

"Damn it, Ryan! Who do you think you are?" Russell's demeanor changed at once when he saw that his tactic had not worked on Ryan.

Russell slammed his hand down on the table and reached out to point at Ryan as he continued to curse at him, saying, "If it weren't for the fact that we're cousins and that we've always been close, I would have killed you long ago! Do you think you'd still be the adjutant?"

"I hate how blind and deaf I was back then I actually followed your lead and thought that those people were good! If you insist on keeping Nelson, then just wait and watch Colossus Alliance be destroyed!"

Ryan stood up as well and banged the table. Then, he turned around to leave.

Russell jumped to his feet and

continued his tirade, "Hurry up and

get out if you're going to leave!

You've just been indulged far too

much! You'll be stripped of your title as adjutant right away!"

"Go ahead! Who cares?" Ryan reached out to open the door.

However, the moment he opened it, he saw a male standing outside.

It was none other than Nelson.

"Why are you so angry, Officer York? This all started because of me. I'll just leave

Colossus Alliance. I can't let the two of you get into a conflict."

Nelson had a buzz cut, and he was smiling thinly.

"Ha!"
