"Let her go, bitch!"
Before Alicia could react, she felt a strong force coming from her back, pushing her to the side again. Instinctively, she wanted to draw her knife and kill the idiot who had just hit her, but then she remembered the place and her condition, so she first tried to assess what was happening.
Is this a trap?
Alicia wasn't sure if this situation was a setup to frame her, so after realizing there was no longer an attacker, she stood up.
The man who hit her was shaking the unconscious girl in his arms and calling her name. "Sara! Can you hear me, Sara?"
Sara, the girl who had collided with Alicia, slowly awakened at the man's call, and upon seeing the man in front of her, she seemed to have found a guardian. She remained still and started crying.
The man was Sebastián, who had been chasing after her all the way. At this moment, he was embracing Sara with a concerned look on his face. He felt flattered, thinking there might be something interesting happening tonight, but then he thought about the woman who knocked down Sara.
Thinking this way, Sebastián first helped Sara to her feet and then turned around to see who dared to bother him so much in this place.
"You... huh?"
Sebastián turned his head and took a closer look at the appearance of that figure, but what he saw left him surprised. Who is this beautiful woman? Why hadn't he seen her before?
In fact, Alicia had recognized this guy a long time ago. He is Pamela's son, a spoiled brat who does whatever he wants, whenever he wants. His reputation in the Commonwealth is already very bad.
But she is not afraid. Deanna is an old acquaintance of Pamela's. She was a member of parliament before the end of the world, so she believes they wouldn't dare do anything to her.
However, if Deanna is not enough, she has Airon who can come to her rescue if things get out of control. Besides Jon Seda, she is the only one who knows that for the past few weeks, soldiers from the S.C.T. have been infiltrating, slowly integrating into the army.
When the time comes, no one would be able to resist an internal blow like the one being prepared.
But Sebastián was dumbfounded at this moment. His eyes scanned Alicia's face, then moved downwards, and finally stopped again at her face.
Seeing this kind of gaze, Alicia tightly gripped the hidden knife in her hand, restraining herself from thrusting it into this person's neck. "It seems you know her. Just now, that girl ran into me. I didn't do anything to her as you're thinking, but still, I apologize. If she's fine, I'll be on my way."
After all, Alicia had to overlook the two of them and leave this place.
"Wait, you said she hit you, who can prove it? There's also the possibility that you deliberately attacked her here to harm her."
Alicia furrowed her eyebrows, turned around, and for a fleeting moment, thought about killing them.
"Mr. Milton, I am Congresswoman Deanna's daughter. I don't need to lie about this matter, and I don't need to stay here just to meet this young lady... I still have something to do. If it's alright, I'll leave now."
Deanna's daughter?
Isn't she Aiden and Spencer's sister?
Then why wasn't I informed when they arrived at the Commonwealth?
A few questions quickly passed through his mind, and Sebastián unconsciously looked back, just in time to see the two of Deanna's sons pass by.
"Aiden! Spencer! Come here!" Sebastián almost instinctively shouted and stopped the two brothers who were trying to hide.
"Damn it!"
The two brothers couldn't help but curse inwardly. They came here too. They wanted to hide when they saw Alicia. Since they arrived here, they were ordered by their mother not to approach Sebastián under any circumstances.
Because the distance wasn't too far, it would be inappropriate for the two to pretend not to hear this young man, so they could only ignore their thoughts about what would happen next and approach.
"Hello, Alicia."
Spencer waved his hand in greeting, while Aiden nodded slightly and didn't speak.
"Is she really your sister?"
Seeing that they really knew each other, Sebastián asked in surprise, but then he thought about it more carefully. The appearance of the two brothers isn't low. As for Deanna, although she's getting older, it's also easy to see that she must have been beautiful when she was young, so it's reasonable for her daughter to have that appearance.
Thinking of this, Sebastián instantly changed his expression, and when he saw Alicia, he greeted her with a not-so-standard gentleman's salute and a smile on his face.
"Hello, Miss Alicia, I'm Sebastián Milton, the son of the federal leader, Pamela Milton..."
Looking at the boy in front of her who suddenly seemed like a different person, and then at the extended hand offering a greeting, Alicia furrowed her brow but still extended her hand and shook the other party's hand with her fingertips.
Feeling the slight movement of Alicia's hand, he calmly withdrew it and nodded politely. "So, may I leave now?"
"Of course, you can go. I apologize for my rudeness just now. I was too worried about my friend. Actually, I was only concerned about her getting hurt. I don't know her very well, but it's always good to care about others."
Sara looked at Sebastián in astonishment, and when she was about to say something, his dark eyes stared at her, which made her hold back what she wanted to say.
Sara, who was still angry, could only shake his hand and run away again, but this time Sebastián had no desire to chase after her.
Aiden's expression wasn't very pleasant at the moment, and Spencer knew that his brother was interested in Alicia.
Alicia also turned around to leave, but when she reached the corner, she suddenly turned her head and said to the two brothers, "I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with Mrs. Pamela's son. That really caught me off guard..."
Without waiting for them to respond, she disappeared around the corner.
Aiden looked in the direction she had left with a nervous expression. Alicia had given them a warning. Though they weren't the brightest, they still had some insight.
They were a bit confused, but Sebastián's hormonal question came to their side.
"Hey, you have such a beautiful sister and you didn't tell me, that was really an embarrassing scene."
Spencer secretly glanced at his brother and then took the initiative to continue the conversation.
"Hehe, it's not that I didn't want to mention it, but the relationship between us and this sister is a bit complicated, so I think you understand."
"Understood, understood. Can you introduce me to her, please? It's just a matter of setting up a meeting, and I promise to give you a satisfactory reward."
Spencer smiled awkwardly and looked at his brother again, only to hear the latter suddenly speak.
"No problem. As for the reward, there's no need. We've become friends, right?"
I don't know what kind of medicine his brother is on, but Spencer still cooperatively smiled and didn't respond.
After this small exchange of words, the three walked into the distance again, talking and laughing, appearing to be inseparable good friends. However, their hidden intentions remained unknown.
