"This is for you."
As Nala took out a box for him, Felix was confused.
"Who is it from?"
"Aiden."
Aiden? Felix's confusion deepened.
"Why would he send me something?"
Shaking her head, Nala explained, "I'm not entirely sure, but he made it clear that if you accept this, it'll settle the debt of him owing you a favor for saving his life. After that, you're even. No favors owed, no strings attached.
"Honestly, for someone as arrogant as Aiden, he does have a shred of honor in him at times."
"Repaying a life-saving favor with a mere box? Isn't that a bit too arrogant?" Felix thought to himself.
However, Felix didn't care. If it had just been him and Aiden in the courtyard yesterday, there was no way he would've stepped in. The hatred between them was too deep—who in their right mind would save their enemy?
Yet, yesterday's circumstances left him no choice. With so many people around, even headquarters had taken notice. Could they really have skipped over Aiden's antidote pill? That wouldn't have made any sense.
Whether or not Aiden repaid him for saving his life, Felix couldn't care less. In the end, they would fight each other anyway, so gratitude was meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
"Throw it away," he said, turning to leave.
Just as he was about to step forward, Nala grabbed his arm.
"Let's take a look first. Based on what I know of Aiden, he wouldn't take something like this lightly."
Before long, Nala returned, placing the laptop on the table. Without saying another word, she left. She was a smart woman and knew better than to let curiosity take hold in situations like this.
Even though she knew exactly who Felix's biological mother was and had even met her once, she still had to hold herself back.
Felix opened the laptop, picked up the USB drive, and stared at it for a long while before finally inserting it into the computer.
As the drive loaded, the cursor moved toward the folder, but he suddenly noticed his right hand trembling slightly.
"Am I scared? Or just nervous?"
He sighed, then double-clicked to open the folder. Inside, there was only one video.
"Our sweetheart's finally 100 days old!"
