'TOUCH!'
Hans put down his glass roughly.
"RETURN ALEEYA TO US, RIGHT NOW!!" Hans said aloud.
"Aleeya? My daughter?" Steven asked back calmly as if he didn't understand at all. "Why should I hand my daughter over to you?"
"Aren't you tired of acting?" Hans asked. "Steven... You know clearly, there's nothing I can't investigate, even if you pack it up so neatly! I'll still be able to find out the truth!"
"I admit, you are capable of doing that, but it does not affect me!" Steven answered Hans without any trepidation, "Your words are so unreasonable!"
After saying so, Steven got up. After only two steps, Hans had stopped Steven's footsteps.
"You're right, I don't like complicated things either. So I thought I'd say it in person!" Hans stood up too.
"You've stolen my daughter, Aleeya!"
Deg!
Even though it was predictable beforehand, it still didn't reduce the fear in Steven's heart.
