?<strong>Chapter 934:</strong>


    And just as the realization hit him, the cold, final kiss of the de severed his throat.


    “I’ll grant your wish!” Allison said, her voice almost devoid of emotion as she withdrew the de.


    As his blood sttered across the floor, she stood beside the corpse, her expression impassive.


    The man twitched for a moment, like a fish stranded onnd, before his body finally went still.


    Hearing themotion, Ken reappeared in the doorway. His eyes immediatelynded on the blood sttered across the floor.


    “Let me handle such things in the future,” he said, frowning as he reached for the de in her hand.


    “Not because of the kill,” he added, “but because I don’t want your hands getting dirty.”


    “With you around, I’m not afraid of getting my hands dirty.” Allison allowed him to take the de without protest.


    She wrapped her arms around his neck and asked, “Still hurting from your wound?”


    Ken’s lips curled into a soft smile as he kissed her gently. “Not at all,” he replied, understanding that she was trying to distract him.

    Maybe, just like him, she didn’t want him to see the ruthless side of her.


    He took her hand in his. “Let’s eat first. I’ll get someone to deal with the body afterward.”


    Allison nodded, a small smile tugging at her lips. “Sounds good.” After a quick change of clothes, they headed to the rooftop restaurant. But even as they settled into their meal, Allison seemed distracted.


    “Even though I don’t know what Daniel’s nning, we can’t afford any distractions,” she said, feeling as if she were already a step ahead of everything. It was like she was getting closer to understanding why she was abandoned all those years ago and what her mother’s secret really was.


    It felt like once Hacker’s World was back online, everything would finally be exposed. Resting her chin in her hand, she continued, “We need to make sure they focus elsewhere.”


    Ken, cutting into his steak with calm precision, didn’t miss a beat. “Don’t worry, I’ll get my people to keep the mafia upied. They won’t have time to bother us.” His voice was reassuring. “Allison, just focus on what you need to do.”


    She knew Ken’s capabilities — once he gave his word, it was as good as done. Her smile softened. “Then I’ll leave it to you.”


    As if a new thought had just struck her, she looked at him with a yful glint in her eyes. “Once Hacker’s World is up and running again, we should take a break. How about traveling? We can watch the sea.”


    It had been far too long since they’d had a moment to themselves.
