"So, what's up with you two?" Jonathan finally asked, looking at the two individuals sitting across from each other. They're now on the couch having their snacks and Jonathan couldn't help but notice how his girlfriend's younger brother was glaring at his best friend, who didn't seem to give a fuck about the blazing glares he was receiving. He didn't even bother to reply to Jonathan as he continued to slurp on his drink.

"Okay. It's okay if you don't reply to me," Seeing that none of the two were willing to reply. Mainly because Tian Zi, honestly didn't know what was up. This was the first time he was seeing the person and he didn't like that he was glaring at him when this was even his house.

For Fyre, on the other hand, he just couldn't help but glare. After the Alpha made him look stupid by throwing him his crazy systems, testing out his capabilities, they started becoming game mates. He had never won against Mo Tian Zi no matter how persistent he was. The only card he had against Mo Tian Zi was the fact he knew him but still losing against someone shattered his pride. He kept challenging the Alpha in various ways, and without noticing 2 years had passed already.

He could say they had a bond they could share for being somewhat friends behind their computers for more than 2 years and just recently, the Alpha suddenly started ignoring him. He knew deep inside that he's being unreasonable but he still feels this way.

"But Zi, he's the one I was talking about. I think his skills will help you greatly..." Jonathan said, wrapping his arms around Remi who has been struggling out of the Alpha's arms since the beginning but was unable to get away no matter how much she struggles.

"And Fyre, this is Zi's place. If you want to stay, you better stop giving him a dirty look," Jonathan added and sigh watching the two ignoring each other but it's not that the two knew each other. For Tian Zi at least, Jonathan could tell he was treating Fyre normally as a stranger. He had always been a snob person and observing the Omega's attitude so far, there's just no spark between them.

"I don't mind, but I don't think I would be needing his help," Tian Zi replied monotonically which instantly triggered Fyre, thinking of the Alpha mocking his capability.

"Huh! Who would want to help your arrogant ass? And who said I wanted to stay here? If you give my sister back, I'll be out here before you know it," Fyre burst in outraged, frowning towards Tian Zi and then to Jonathan. Meanwhile, hearing Fyre's words, Tian Zi raised his brow and later smirked.

"Hmmm, I'm sure you couldn't anyway," Tian Zi replied, his tone mocking the Omega to which instantly angered Fyre but surprisingly this time instead of shouting, he signed at first releasing the steam before he replied with a smirk as well.

"Oh yeah? You know what? Fuck it! Try me, I'll beat your sorry ass. I'll make you come and beg me to help you," Fyre said with confidence, which brought chuckles on Tian Zi lips. It's interesting how sharp this Omega's mouth is but it's not that he didn't like it. It wouldn't be fun if he'd just cower down in the corner just because he's an Alpha and the other person is an Omega.

"Okay," Tian Zi replied with a mischievous smile, he's quite bored today so he was glad that there's this to keep him from it but he absolutely does not believe that Fyre would pass his test.

"Okay," Fyre replied, rolling his eyes making faces towards Tian Zi as if the Alpha wasn't a few years younger than him.

After the brief confrontation, Tian Zi everyone to his game room where there was one massive 50 inches flatscreen TV and at least ten 32 inches hanging on the wall in a curve. The moment Fyre and Remi saw it, they both gulped in amusement especially Fyre who also had a passion for computers. He had a similar setup back to his base but it was nowhere near fancy compared to Tian Zi's. He dreamed to buy customized items as well but he'd rather send the money he earned to his parents than do so because they're still far from paying off their family's debts so seeing such items and knowing that this was Tian Zi's, he couldn't help but feel bitter.

"Fucking show off," Fyre mumbled to which Tian Zi heard but ignore with a smirk. He was pretty proud of his place after all, even though he rarely stays at the place. And it's not that he didn't have the same setup back the Mo Estate. Despite his parent's naggings and his brother's cold treatment, he was actually very spoiled.

Tian Zi walked towards his keyboard and typed on it briefly before he stood again after the words 'Access Denied' flashed on the screen on top of a big warning sign.

"Now, you go sit here and just unlock the access to this system. You can take as much time as you want until you unlock it and depending on how much time you to solve the system, I admit that your skill is on spar with mine," Tian Zi said monotonically pointing at his the only chair facing the many screens. When Fyre heard him, he glared at Tian Zi and stomped his feet towards the chair cursing the Alpha to the day of his demise.

"I'm so fucking gonna make you beg me," Fyre mumbled and sat on the chair. He positioned his fingers to the keyboard and pressed a couple of keys and a black box flashed on the screen. And before he started, he turned towards Tian Zi and glared at him. He didn't say anything as the mocking smile on the Alpha's lips really irked him to the point that he wanted to punch it. He didn't know why he has to prove his abilities to this arrogant bastard but he really wanted to let the Alpha know that he wasn't the only one that can do what he does.

"Well then, take your time," Tian Zi said waving his hand to Fyre and turned around thinking of leaving. He was planning to take a little nap since he does not believe the Omega would solve it. No one had ever aside from him and this one person he still didn't know the identity of and had only been calling Princess until now.

Meanwhile, seeing the Alpha leaving until his back disappeared behind the door, Fyre started typing like crazy and a minute after checking the program, he suddenly whispered his curses seeing that the program system the Alpha put up was the one he had already solved 2 years ago after persistently trying for more than a month.

He remembered the level of difficulty was seven out of ten but since he had already been through it, he could easily solve it now in an hour or so. It was quite a unique composition of codes so he studied it for quite sometime before finally somewhat mastering the pattern.

"Fyre, you don't need to push yourself, okay?" Remi said, seeing his younger brother working so hard. It really does seem that this younger brother of his hated Tian Zi but for her, he didn't have to be tested out to prove himself. And besides, even though Mo Tian Zi helped her a lot, Fyre getting involve with the Alpha wouldn't sound good considering how crazy the Mo brothers are.

"No need to worry, Remi. Trust me, I'm going to make that arrogant ass beg me," Remi replied confidently to which instantly made Jonathan chuckle. He would definitely love to see the day when Tian Zi beg to someone but he highly doubts. The chances are zero.

"Hate to admit but I highly doubt he's going to beg since he's full of pride but it's not that I won't be there when it happens," Jonathan commented at the side, making Fyre roll his eyes. He didn't reply and instead continued to work on the codes because he obviously still didn't like Jonathan. He was the same as Mo Tian Zi and he was not going to leave the place without Remi.

Seeing Fyre really focusing on the computer, both Jonathan and Remi watched in amusement for more than 10 minutes but soon decided to leave the Omega alone so he could focus better.

And while they were leaving Remi remembered that she still needs to find Veronica, she had been calling her since earlier but she wasn't replying at all. She and Fyre went to her apartment but she also wasn't there so he was thinking of asking Mo Tian Zi about hoping that maybe the Alpha knew anything about her friend. She was afraid that Mo Hanlu or Mo Laotian would kidnap her and do something bad with her when she is pregnant.

No matter how bad of a person Veronica was, it was definitely not right for her to be tortured if that was the case.
