Deal!

"Are you sure you want to do this?" asked the person on the call.

 

"Yes, do everything as I tell you," Leon replied calmly.

 

Venus, who was currently standing right in front of Leon, immediately reached out her hand to grab Leon's cell phone. "No, no. I agreed to be yours, I agreed to be with you, and you also agreed to give me time, so why are you doing something like this?"

 

Leon looked coldly into Venus' eyes. "Give me that cell phone," he pleaded in his baritone voice.

 

Venus stared at Leon for a few moments. Leon's eagle-eyed gaze made Venus's heart start to feel uneasy.

 

"I won't forget my promise," Leon said again.

 

Finally, Venus gave him the cell phone in her hand hesitantly.

'I'd better not make trouble. After all, he has promised to help heal Aurel; I can't make him angry and think of canceling this deal,' she thought as she continued to watch Leon's every move.

 

"So what kind of rabbit could make you speak in such a tone?" asked Calvin, the person in Leon's call.

 

"Stop talking nonsense; tell me, did you get the corpse I wanted?" Leon asked in a firm tone.

 

"Already, now I'm waiting for the doctor who is operating on the corpse's face as you want; do you want to see the process?" asked Calvin in a relaxed tone.

 

"No need, just finish everything quickly," Leon ordered, then casually turned off the call.

 

Meanwhile, at this time, Venus still continued to stare at Leon's face. She could hear what Leon was talking about with Calvin, and that just made her feel even more curious.

 

"Do you want to ask the corpse what I'm talking about?" Leon asked while putting his cell phone in his pants pocket.

 

Venus nodded quickly.

 

Then Leon touched Venus' cheek gently. "Tomorrow morning you will have a funeral at the Kaishen family cemetery using a fake corpse; do you understand what I mean?"

 

Venus' eyes opened wider than before. "Fake corpse?"

 

Leon smiled slightly at Venus' question. While Venus was again surprised when she saw the smile on Leon's face, it was a smile she had never seen before because as long as she knew Leon, Leon always had a cold face.

 

"Yes, you're going to have a fake corpse because I don't want Alan to interfere with all the healing process, which will definitely take a long time. Besides, you have to resurrect your family name; this is according to my promise to your parents," Leon said as he looked seriously into Venus' eyes.

 

"Promise?" Venus frowned.

 

"Yes, the promise I made the day before your parents' deaths," Leon replied calmly.

 

Venus' eyes widened at Leon's words.

 

"I promised to take care of you and your family's business," Leon added.

 

Venus was dumbfounded by Leon's words. Suddenly her tears fell, sliding down her cheeks slowly. She bowed her head.

"That was a promise four years ago, even the death of my parents-"

 

"Do you really think that your parents died by suicide, like people say?" Leon spoke in the same calm tone as before.

 

Immediately Venus raised her head again and looked into Leon's eyes. "What do you mean?"

 

Leon smiled sarcastically. "Even a blind man would feel suspicious, so how can his daughter believe such a thing?"

 

"At that time you were also there, even those things were investigated by the central investigator. I-" Venus stopped talking, then she clenched her fists. "Did your parents have anything to do with my parents' deaths?"

 

"Didn't you used to call them mother-in-law and father-in-law? Why are you calling them my parents today? After all, you also know that they are not my real parents?" Leon said casually.

 

'I once suspected this, but I didn't have the chance to find out,' Venus, who was currently looking confused, thought.

"Do you have any evidence of..."

 

Leon then laughed mockingly. "Do you think that evidence of crimes can influence Delmonte family members?"

 

Venus was silent. She realized that if what Leon said was true, whatever he found could not affect the Delmonte family because the Delmonte family was a family that produced Alphas for five generations.

'I can't bring down the Delmonte family legally because the law has no effect on them, but I can take revenge on those people,' Venus thought as she clenched her fists again.

"Can you help me get revenge?"

 

Leon smiled mockingly.

 

"I don't want to destroy the Delmonte family; I just want to destroy the people who killed my parents and the people who hurt Aurel," Venus said in a serious tone.

 

"Then what do I get? By helping with your daughter's treatment, I've got your body, so what else can you offer me? Don't think that because I like you, I'll do anything for you," Leon said as he again held Venus' chin.

 

'Love? Why was I thinking about love between him and me? In reality, he just wants my body,' Venus thought, feeling ridiculous.

 

"I have many connections that can help grow your company here. I will fight alongside you to make you the alpha you want to be because I know the many gaps Alan has," Venus said in a calm tone.

 

"Interesting offer," Leon said as he released Venus' chin.

 

"So you accept my offer?" asked Venus, who wanted to make sure of everything.

 

"Go rest and prepare to show your sincerity tomorrow. After that, we'll talk about this again," Leon replied while staring at the door of the room.

 

'So he wants to make sure whether I'll do everything the way he wants or not,' Venus thought with a long sigh. 'But it's not his fault either; if I were him, then I'd be careful too.

 

"Fine, I'll do it," Venus replied, then turned around and walked away from the room.

 

Meanwhile, Leon immediately laid down on the bed. His eyes were closed, feeling a warm feeling in his heart.

 

[Why did you say such a stupid sentence? Haven't you been watching over him and trying to protect him, so why are you acting like you only care about profit?" said Azura, the innerwolf inside Leon's body.

 

"Shut up," Leon replied casually.

 

[What a hypocritical human. If you tell that woman your true feelings, then everything will be easier,] Azura protested.

 

"Right now she doesn't have the same feelings as me; it'll be easier to hold her back if it's like this. After all, she has to be the best to be my woman," Leon said and smiled.

The next morning. Venus was currently in the back hall of the Kaishen family home. She was standing in front of the coffin that would be buried soon. Some of Venus' neighbors and old friends had come to mourn Aurel's death.

 

"Madam, everything is ready," whispered an old servant who had been in charge of the Kaishen household after Venus left to marry Alan.

The maid handed Venus a tray with a pair of scissors.

 

Venus took the scissors and walked forward slowly. "Thank you for coming into my life," Venus said in a hoarse voice. Venus deliberately spoke in such a voice to make the fake sadness she showed to people seem more real.

 

But just as she was about to cut the ribbon next to the coffin, suddenly...

 

"Venus!" shouted a man who had just arrived and was currently standing in the center of the hall entrance.

 

'He's coming,' Venus thought as she clenched her left fist. Meanwhile, her right hand was now cutting the ribbon in front of her.

 

On the other hand, at this moment the man who had just arrived was walking quickly into the room. And everyone in the room immediately stared at the man they all knew.

 

"Stop!" Venus shouted and then turned around slowly.

 

The man also stopped walking. He looked into Venus' eyes from a distance. "Ve, I'm sorry. I didn't know things would turn out like this. I'm really sorry."

 

A moment later, another person entered the room.

 

"Mr. Alan," called the woman who had just entered the room.

The woman walked as fast as she could to catch up with Alan.

 

Meanwhile, Alan immediately turned around when the woman who had just come in called his name. "Why did you come here? You should be careful; you haven't fully recovered," Alan said as he looked at the woman who was now right in front of him.

 

Suddenly a cynical smile appeared on Venus' lips. 'I'm such a fool,' she thought as she continued to stare at the interaction between Alan and the woman who had just arrived.

Then she let out a long breath, and spoke again. "Mr. Alan," she called in a calm voice.

 

Instantly, Alan turned around and looked back at Venus' face.

 

"Everyone here will bear witness; I, Atlanta Venus Kaishen, rejected you, Arlando Trystan Delmonte. Now that we are no longer related, everything in your life is no longer my business," Venus said loudly.

 

"What?"
