Chapter 412 Alaric VS Tommy

"Wait, Josep's heading back to Country M?" Alaric blurted out, totally caught off guard. "Didn't he say he was

sticking around for a bit longer?" Stellan just shrugged. "Beatswhy he's bouncing so soon. Maybe there's

sbig deal going down at the Institute of Medical Pioneers."

Alaric felt a pang of guilt. Josep had saved his life, and now he was leaving, probably still ticked off about the

whole Tommy mess.

He'd been planning to find a way to properly thank Josep, but now it seemed like twas running out.

"I'm coming with you," Alaric declared. Even if Josep didn't want to see him, he had to see him off out of respect

and at least try to explain things at the airport.

"Sure thing," Stellan replied. "Cormac called earlier and said there's nothing pressing at the office today, so you

can chill at home."

"Got it." Alaric's head was still throbbing, and he wasn't fully awake yet. Going to work now would be a disaster,

so he decided to take it easy.

Stellan watched him finish his soup. Since Alaric wasn't feeling breakfast, Stellan suggested he take a nap.

While Alaric was snoozing, Stellan started prepping lunch, thinking slight food might help with the hangover.

Alaric had never been one for naps, but this one did him sgood.

"Lunch is ready, cand eat," Stellan called out.

"Thanks for the effort," Alaric said as he joined her.

They sat down to eat, but Alaric barely touched his food.

"If you're still feeling off, I can go see Josep off by myself this afternoon," Stellan offered.

"No way," Alaric insisted. "We're going together."

Stellan nodded. "Alright then."

After lunch, they headed to the airport early and spotted Tommy with Josep as they walked in.

"Josep!" Alaric and Stellan hurried over.

Josep's smile vanished the moment he saw Alaric.

"Hello, Josep," Alaric greeted him politely.

Josep gave a cold nod in return.

"Josep, didn't you say you were staying in Country A for a while? Why the sudden change of plans?" Stellan

asked.

Josep sighed. "I've been here long enough. | didn't plan on coming back in the first place; it was your urgent call

that broughthere. Staying this long was never the plan, | can't stick around forever. The Institute of Medical

Pioneers needs me."

It was true. Josep had only cbecause of Stellan's urgent call.

Alaric felt a wave of shbut still managed to say, "Thank you, Josep, for saving my life. I'll never forget it. If

you ever need anything, no matter where you are, I'm there."

"Saving lives is just part of the job, | am not doing it for payback. Don't sweat it," Josep replied bluntly.

"As for Tommy, don't sweat it. | was the one who asked you to help him out, and you did a solid job. I'm really

grateful. No one wanted things to go sideways. You've got your reasons, and it's not on you. Even though

Tommy's not at Nexus Innovations anymore, he's sticking around in Arizona. | hope, Mr. Knight, you won't give

him a hard time," Josep said.

"Relax, Josep. | won't go out of my way to mess with anyone," Alaric replied.

"Good to hear." Then Josep turned to Tommy and said, "And you, this whole mess happened 'cause you were too

careless. To avoid any more , don't meet with Galatea alone. Now that you're at a new gig, give it your all."

"Got it, Uncle Josep," Tommy quickly responded.

"Alright, enough talk. | gotta board now. You all take care," Josep said, then grabbed his luggage and headed

inside.

Alaric and Stellan were genuinely thankful to Josep. Without him rushing over from Country M that night, Alaric

wouldn't be standing here.

After watching Josep disappear inside, Alaric glanced at Tommy and then said to Stellan, "Galatea, wait forin

the car outside."

Stellan wondered, 'Is Alaric gonna talk to Tommy? Are they gonna clash?"

Seeing Stellan's worried look, Alaric reassured her, "Don't worry, | just wanna have a quick word with him.

Nothing's gonna happen."

Hearing this, Stellan reluctantly agreed, gave them one last worried look, and walked out of the airport.

After Stellan left, Tommy respectfully asked, "Mr. Knight, is there something you wanna say to me?"

"You're quite the actor," Alaric said bluntly, "When we first met, you really hadthinking you were just some

innocent, naive guy."

Tommy asked, "Mr. Knight, what do you mean by that?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Alaric looked him straight in the eye and asked, "Why'd you go out of your way to get close to

Galatea and makemisunderstand? What's your game?"

Tommy said, "Mr. Knight, you're reading too much into it. You're a big-shot CEO, and I'm just a regular job seeker.

If you wanna accuse me, | can't really defend myself. If you wanna fire me, | can't stop you. But a clear

conscience needs no defense. | don't need to explain anything."

"Well said!" Alaric's eyes narrowed. "Work well with Ambrose, and don't letcatch you pulling any stunts.

Anyone who tries to playwon't end well. Got it?"

Hearing this, Tommy smiled and said, "I'm just a law-abiding citizen. What could you possibly catchdoing?

Mr. Knight, you're overthinking it. That day will never come."

Alaric warned, "That's good."

Tommy politely bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Knight, you must be busy. I'll take my leave now. | wish you a

speedy recovery."

With that, Tommy turned and walked out of the airport. Alaric watched his back, deep in thought.

Could Tommy showing up now be tied to the mysterious folks who framed the Storm Family?
