Competing with Me?

After tossing a crystal nucleus to Coal Ball, Second Dog noticed and hurriedly ran to Dylan's feet.

Seeing Dylan ignoring it, Second Dog barked twice.

It wanted to learn to call Dylan "dad" like Coal Ball, but it just couldn't!

Seeing Dylan still ignoring it, Second Dog stood up, stretched out its front paws, and began scratching Dylan.

"Hey, (Dylan), don't be rude!"

Georgia suddenly saw this scene and quickly reprimanded.

Upon hearing its mistress's reprimand, Second Dog quickly lay down on the ground, whimpering to express protest.

Dylan's face was full of black lines. Just now, when Georgia called (Dylan), he almost turned back.

It was a bit embarrassing.

Dylan took out a crystal nucleus, waved it in the air, and said to Second Dog, "From now on, you'll be called Second Dog. If anyone calls you (Dylan), you mustn't listen to her. Understand? Give a bark if you understand!"

Second Dog glanced at its mistress, Georgia, who looked surprised, then looked at the enticing crystal nucleus in Dylan's hand.

Finally, it wagged its tail and begged Dylan, "Woof!"

Seeing Second Dog bending over for a crystal nucleus, Dylan felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Haha, well done, Second Dog, here, have it!"

Dylan generously rewarded it with a crystal nucleus.

Second Dog swallowed it without any dignity.

Then it drooled and looked at Dylan sideways.

At this moment, Georgia couldn't bear it anymore. She walked over and twisted Second Dog's ears.

With an iron-hearted expression, she said, "(Dylan), do you have any integrity left? Just for a crystal nucleus, you're willing to give up your name?!"

"Cough, cough, it's not called (Dylan) anymore, it's Second Dog from now on!"

Dylan coughed, reminding Georgia.

But Georgia completely ignored him, just focused on teasing Second Dog, "Come on, (Dylan), give me a hug!"

The dog ignored her.

"Come on, (Dylan), give me a kiss!"

The dog ignored her.

"Come on, (Dylan), give me a lick!"

Not only did the dog ignore her, but its head also kept turning around.

Following Second Dog's gaze, Georgia looked up and saw Dylan waving a crystal nucleus to attract Second Dog's attention.

Georgia suddenly became furious and slapped the dog on the head.

"Ignore you!"

Georgia completely disregarded the bewildered look on the dog's face and angrily stood up and walked away.

As she passed by Dylan, she muttered under her breath, "Hmph, stinky (Dylan)!"

Dylan was stunned, turning to look at Georgia's back with a puzzled expression, "Hey, wait, who are you cursing?"

Georgia swayed her hips and didn't even look back, "Whoever calls (Dylan) gets cursed!"

"I mean, you..."

Dylan was speechless.

Seeing Dylan sulking, the other women burst into laughter.

Dylan couldn't be bothered with them, turned around, and continued to feed Coal Ball a crystal nucleus. Then he rewarded the last crystal nucleus to Second Dog.

"Well done, keep it up, Second Dog!"

Second Dog: Woof!Coal Ball saw that Second Dog had eaten two crystal nuclei today and suddenly lost interest.

Competing with me? Go to hell!

Coal Ball began to nibble on Second Dog's tail again, but Second Dog didn't react at all, just anxiously spinning in circles.

Dylan watched the bird and the dog fighting, while Dorothy had already prepared the meal.

Without any ceremony, everyone served themselves two bowls of rice and began to eat.

After finishing their meal, the four nurses cleaned up while the others gathered in the living room to listen to Dylan's plans for tomorrow.

"Tomorrow, Alberta, Dorothy, and I, along with Hannibal, will lead in the heavy-duty off-road RV.

Georgia, Jodie, Kelly, the three of you will follow behind in the Bobos off-road vehicle.

When we arrive, we'll disembark, and you'll maintain distance from us.

Just stay within Georgia's shooting range.

If any special situation arises, Georgia, you can choose to shoot autonomously.

 If anyone among us gets injured, Jodie and Kelly will be responsible for rescue."

After listening carefully to Dylan's arrangements, the women nodded in agreement.

After discussing the route, everyone dispersed.

The four nurses had already finished cleaning, standing in a row, awaiting Dylan's instructions.

"The four of you don't need to come with us. Tomorrow, all of you will help guard the gate!"

Dylan felt that the distance for tomorrow's trip was a bit far, so it would be better to leave more people to guard the gate.

Naturally, they all obeyed Dylan's arrangements unconditionally.

Seeing everyone heading upstairs, Dylan followed suit and arrived at the master bedroom on the third floor.

Opening the door, he found the bedroom dimly lit.

Alberta was wearing yoga clothes, kneeling on the bed.

In the dim light, she looked especially enchanting.

Dylan quickly closed the door, astonished, "Alberta, what are you doing?"

Alberta smiled shyly, didn't speak, but instead lay on her side, one hand supporting her body, the other resting on her yoga pants.

Her red lips lightly parted as she whispered, "No stockings today. Don't you like seeing us in yoga clothes? Today, I'll let you have a good look!"

Damn it!

Damn it all!

Did Alberta suddenly become enlightened?

Dylan was truly shocked.

Could it be that when girls become women, they gain self-awareness?

Dylan was itching with impatience and really wanted to deal with her on the spot.

But Alberta was visiting relatives, so Dylan could only endure it.

Wait? No!

There's a limit to endurance.

Dylan walked to the edge of the bed and pulled Alberta over.

...

The next morning.

Everyone had already gotten up early.

Because the past two nights were relatively quiet, everyone slept well.

"Where's Alberta? Why isn't she down yet?" Jodie, seeing only Dylan downstairs, curiously asked.

Dylan smiled and said, "Oh, she's brushing her teeth!"

Jodie didn't ask further until Dorothy brought breakfast to the table, and Alberta still hadn't come down.

Jodie couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked again, "What's up with Alberta? Why is she taking so long to brush her teeth?"Dylan hadn't replied yet when Alberta came downstairs.

Seeing Alberta looking uncomfortable, Jodie asked with concern, "Alberta, what's wrong?"

Suddenly blushing, Alberta hoarsely replied, "It's... nothing!"

"It seems like it's inflamed. Do you need to take some medicine?" Kelly asked quickly.

"No, no need. Dylan already gave me some to take! Let's just eat quickly!"

Hearing Alberta's words, the others didn't think much and began to eat.

Only Dorothy smiled meaningfully at Dylan.

Seeing Dorothy's gaze, Dylan awkwardly smiled and quickly focused on eating.

But in his heart, he sighed: This woman seems to understand everything!

...

After breakfast, Dylan and the others geared up and set off in the car.

They dropped the four nurses at the guardhouse, with Dylan giving each of them a knife.

Then, he took out his revolver and handed it to Kimberley.

"Guard the place well. If anyone comes with ill intentions, keep it for self-defense!"

Kimberley took the gun and nodded heavily at Dylan.

Her eyes were determined as she said, "Don't worry! As long as I'm still breathing, I won't let anyone step an inch past this gate!"

"Good!"

Dylan patted her shoulder, then pulled Hannibal and drove down the mountain.

Following the route they agreed on last night, the two cars took the ring road to avoid city roads as much as possible.

Although the journey was a bit longer, they would definitely save time, and comparatively, this route was safer.

Their only goal today was to gather information about Clarence.

If possible, they also wanted to bring Clarence back so they could reunite with their siblings.

The two cars continued along the ring road.

As expected, apart from some scattered scrapped cars, they encountered almost no obstacles along the way.

After leaving the ring road, they still had about 10 kilometers to go before reaching the location marked on the map as "Royal No. 1".
