Tony stared at theputer for a while before he thought of something and went out of his room. Ben ‘s room was next to his.
He went to his brother’s room and knocked on the door. “Open the door, Ben !” Crack!
The door was opened from the inside before Ben poked his head out. “What’s the matter?” Staring at him, Tony narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. “What do you think?”
Knowing that the reason his brother had for visiting him wasn’t a good one, Ben preemptively made the decision to not start an argument by trying to shut the door. “If there’s nothing else, I’m going to sleep!”
Tony blocked the door. “You can still sleep?”
“Not only can I sleep, but I can sleep very well too!” Ben uttered nonchntly. When he saw how angry his brother was, he felt pretty good.
Despite his attempt to shut the door, Tony still kept it open with great force. Upon giving up, Ben stared at him. “All right, what do you want?”
“I’m your brother!” Tony eximed. “I know!”
“Then why did you betray me?”
“Sam is our friend, yet you betray him.”
“I-” Tony was suddenly at a loss for words. “I’m just trying to stop him froming over, okay?” “And I’m doing it to stop you!”
“Stopping me for doing what?” “Stopping you for… bullying me!”
“What do you mean by ‘I bully you’?” Disbelief was written on Tony ‘s face.
Even though it seemed like he always had the advantage since they were kids, in reality, Ben gave him a lot of trouble too. Thus, they were pretty much even.
That was why he didn’t really think he was bullying his brother.
“You’re getting better and better at spouting nonsense, Ben !” he shouted. “People tend to learn from their losses!” Ben smiled.
Seeing him acting like that, Tony said, “Don’t say you’re like Nelly in the future! She isn’t like you!” “It’s still better than your daddy!”
That made Tony shut up.
“All right, if there’s nothing else, I’m going to sleep now!” Ben prepared to close the door again. Suddenly, Tony directly blocked the door back from closing.
“What more do you want? Do you really want another round of fight?”
After staring at Ben and thinking for a while, Tony said, “Who said I want to do that with you? There’s something I need to talk to you about!”
“What can you talk to me about?” Doubt was seen in Ben ‘s expression. “Something happened to Darz!”
“Darz? What happened?”
“More specifically, Holden is in trouble!”
“Holden?” Ben studied his brother’s expression and realized it wasn’t a joke. “What happened?” “His position was revealed during a mission! he’s likely in a firefight right now!”N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
Ben was stunned for a second before he asked, “Did you do this?”
“Do you have a loose screw in your head?”
Ben quickly responded, “Sorry, I just thought it was you subconsciously. Continue!” “Continue what?”
“The thing about Holden!”
“That’s all I know! Do you really think I did it?” “Err, I only said that on reflex!”
Tony rolled his eyes.
“What do we do now? Should we do something?” Ben asked.
After thinking for a while, Tony said, “Sam said he’s going there to take care of it now. I’m not sure how well that’ll end up…”
“Then what do you want me to do?”
“I’ll still focus on Nelly in the next few days. So, I’m going to need you to take care of Darz for now. If anything happens, tell me immediately!”
“What about Nelly ?”
“I’ll update you about her situation, too!” Hearing that, Ben nodded. “Okay.”
Tony thought about something before staring at his brother. “All right, let’s roll with that n for now!”
Watching his brother leaving, Ben uttered, “Don’t worry, Holden will be fine.” Tony paused and turned back. “I know.”
Then he left.
Staring at his brother’s back, Ben smiled.
While they had their sibling squabbles, he knew Tony was the type of person with very clearly defined boundaries. Tony would never cross the line, no matter what he did.
When he thought of that, Ben shut the door.
Just as Tony was about to return to his room, he heard a familiar voiceing from downstairs. He approached the stairs and nced downward.
It wasn’t really bright, but he still managed to see two people sitting on the couch.
