Chapter 41 Waiting for Your Wedding Day


"It's noble of you to be so considerate," Alaric replied, picking up his coffee mug and taking a slow sip.

"How could I not think about it? You've already had a brush with death. As a brother who's grown up with you, it's my concern," Cormac said, his forehead creased with a slight frown.

"They're responsible for your injuries and discharge from active duty. You harbor resentment towards them, and they reciprocate the animosity. After that last showdown, their leader vanished and now lingers like a ticking time bomb." "I'm aware," Alaric responded.

"Why be so conspicuous then? You could have kept a low profile after switching from military service to business. But no... you just had to become a household name, almost as if you're taunting them," said Cormac. Alaric couldn't help but smile faintly at Cormac's gripes. He was genuinely touched by Cormac's concern.

"Don't worry. The person who can kill me hasn't been born yet!" Alaric took another sip of his coffee, his eyes sharpening. "Actually, I'm looking forward to them showing up. You know, as a soldier, not completing your mission is a huge regret." It was an unresolved issue for Alaric that the leader of that organization went missing. He would be more than happy to personally take care of him within his lifetime.

"All right, maybe I'm just being paranoid," Cormac sighed after expressing his doubt, and added, "It's been nearly a decade, for all we know, those guys never showed up again, perhaps they might be long gone. Let's not worry about them for now. But tell me, do you really like Galatea?"

"No comment," Alaric responded swiftly.

"I'm a doctor, and I've known you since we were kids. You chose her over me to be your private physician. That says a lot. I feel bad for my sister, you know. Galatea's got two kids to look after. How is she better than my sister?" "She's prettier than your sister."

"Is that all it is?" Cormac was incredulous and shook his head, laughing. "My sister has always been loyal to you, never married, and comes from a similar background."

"She's still prettier than your sister."

"My sister is a famous actress adored by thousands, and she's just a humble doctor," Cormac compared them.
