Blair couldn't believe her ears. "Huh? That's it?"
"I'll keep on providing food for you," Wesley replied.
Blair's jaw dropped in awe.
Just when she thought her life was going to stay the way it was, something unexpected happened; all because the actress Niles had feelings for had turned him down.
At some party, Niles gathered enough courage to approach the said actress. The woman caressed his face and teased, "Boy, your skin is so fair and smooth like a girl's. Sorry, you're just not my type. I like your brother! Tough and ragged, but in a good way. Hey, would you do me a favor and introduce me to him?"
Niles was deeply hurt and decided to renew his image. He made up his mind to become a tough guy like his brother. He went to Wesley and insisted he join their physical training.
Wesley accepted his request. He took it as an opportunity to get Niles off his bad habits. He brought his younger brother along as he trained his men. On the seventh day, they hiked a mountain to do their outdoor workouts there. Wesley pointed to a huge rock and instructed Niles, "Go rock climbing."
He had been bored in the last six days, so he thought rock climbing would be at least kind of interesting.
Wesley's men climbed the rock one after another. 'Looks pretty easy to me, ' Niles thought as he watched the ones before him.
He couldn't be more wrong.
"Chief! I can't do this," Niles yelled to his brother as he held onto the rope for his dear life. When Wesley took him in for the training, he demanded Niles call him Chief. He had been treating his younger brother as one of his men.
Wesley only watched as his brother dangled hopelessly. "You are a man. Do it!" he commanded quite sternly.
Niles let out a few desperate cries. Upon seeing the lack of progress, Wesley picked up a pebble and threw it at his butt. Of course, it hit him accurately. Niles was left with no choice but to keep on climbing. He cursed his brother all the way up of the rock.
Not long after, Niles gave up. "I quit! I'm going home. I no longer want that woman. She's just not worth this struggle. Actually you're her type. I'll give her your number."
The soldiers snickered.
Wesley had seen many soldiers like Niles before, and knew exactly how to deal with him. In a cold voice, he said, "You quit? No. That's not gonna happen." He instructed the soldier atop the rock to fasten the rope. "Niles, you can stay there to take a break. The rest of us are going to have lunch."
"Wesley Li, are you out of your mind? You can't just leave me here! I'm not a soldier. I just wanted to work out a little! Don't you dare pull a stunt like this!"
The soldiers gave Niles a thumbs-up. None of them dared defy Wesley's orders.
Wesley was not angry, though. He turned to his brother and said, "Just do less talking and do more climbing. Are you really a man? Look at the uniform you're wearing. You're tarnishing it."
The sun burned high up in the sky, and Niles was getting really thirsty. However, he still didn't stop cursing his brother. "Wesley Li! Let me down this instant! I swear, once I get down from here, I'm gonna skin you alive! You are a big bully, Wesley Li. How could you treat your only brother like this? I'll beat the shit out of you once I get off this huge ass rock! I'll drag you down with me to the pits of hell!"
"Oh, is that so? Then you'll have to get down first." There was only one person Wesley didn't know how to deal with, and that was Blair. Handling Niles was a piece of cake.
Niles was left with no choice. He returned to climbing the rock. Just a few minutes after, he stopped again. "Wesley, my dear brother, please let me go. I'm never going to train with you again. I'm not a soldier. Please spare me some mercy. I'll get heatstroke! It's blazing hot in here. It's noon, for crying out loud."
Wesley paid him no mind and started to walk away with his men, leaving Niles alone.
"Chief, are you sure we're just going to leave him alone like that? He is not a soldier, after all." Worry was written all over Talbot's face.
"I've long wanted to teach him a lesson. If he passes out, I'll take him to the hospital," Wesley said indifferently. He didn't believe that his brother would be this big of a wuss.
Talbot wanted to add something more, but before he could, Wesley cast a dangerous glance at him. "Talbot." His voice was as cold as ice.
"Huh?"
A bad feeling loomed over Talbot.
"Go climb the rock again. You must keep in pace with Niles, and you can't help him."
"What? Why? What did I do wrong?" he yelled. 'Is it because I put in a good word for Niles?'
"You gossiped about the things that happened when we trained the students in Y City Language and Culture University a few years ago, huh? You are quite the babbler yourself. Now! Off you go!"
'Things that happened in Y City Language and Culture University?' Talbot howled. "Blair betrayed me!" 'And it was a very long time ago!'
"No, she didn't. I heard it myself." Wesley rolled his eyes at Talbot.
"Chief, I am so sorry."
Wesley kicked his butt and ordered, "One more word and you'll be doing three hundred push-ups."
Talbot disappeared from Wesley's sight immediately. When Wesley turned around, he saw Talbot grabbing onto another rope. "Niles, I'm here to keep you company," Talbot said.
Niles was too exhausted to give him any attention.
An hour passed and Niles finally got off the rock. He was covered in dirt from head to toe. He was really pissed at Wesley and decided to rat him out to Blair. He made a video-call request to Blair. It was accepted at once. "Blair, Wesley tortured me. He spared me no mercy. None! You have to avenge me."
Blair couldn't help but giggle when she saw how dirty Niles got. "Poor Niles. Believe me. Playing hardball never works on Wesley. Just give him a kiss," she suggested. That was her way to deal with Wesley, and it worked every time.
Niles' lips twitched at her suggestion. "I'm a man, and he's a man too!"
"And? It's perfectly normal for brothers to be intimate with each other."
Niles followed Blair's suggestion.
"Hang him up!" Wesley roared. The soldiers burst into a fit of laughter.
Poor Niles! He was hung once again.
Upon seeing his brother in a compromised situation, Wesley felt better. "Niles, you really are too weak. I don't even want to admit you're my brother. I did this to you for your own good."
Niles stayed suspended for a few hours. He'd grown desperate and was extremely livid at Wesley.
At the end of the day, Niles was taken back to his place by Talbot and Bowman.
He stayed in bed for three days to recover. Wesley came to visit him once. Once he had confirmed he was still alive, he left right away
Niles was fuming when he saw his brother leave. He made up his mind that he was taking vengeance against his cruel brother.
Niles was surprisingly smart when it came to pranks. He developed an idea soon enough.
His idea was simple—he would help Blair get what she wanted, which was to sleep with Wesley. It would be perfect if she got pregnant. Niles hoped she'd give birth to a boy. He knew how troublesome boys were. He'd torture Wesley to death for him.
Three days later, Blair received a bottle of red wine from Niles. He sent her a message saying, "Blair, my friend brought me a bottle of wine from France. This wine is really good. Why not enjoy it with my brother?"
Niles was really putting extreme effort in making Wesley and Blair's life happy. He actually bought the wine himself, and it cost him a fortune. He'd tasted good wine before, but he'd never bought one himself.
He decided to ask his mother to reimburse the wine. After all, he did this for Wesley and Blair, and he believed that Cecelia would be more than happy to hear that.
Blair was really moved by this. She wrote, "Niles, thank you so much. You're being really nice to me."
'Ah, the Li family is really treating me well. Grandpa Keith, Aunt Cecelia, Niles...'
