Chapter 131
Jfrowned looking at the man.
He was Dora’s fiancé.
This man cas an unexpected factor.
Looked like that Dora ran back hin a panic and told her fiancé about everything that happened last
night.
Jcould be sure that this was just an honest mistake and Dora didn’t try to tell on them on purpose.
It was just that this man named Gorden turned out to have a soft spine and a big mouth and chose to
work with the monsters who tried to hurt his own fiancé.
An astonished gasp could be heard in the room.
One guy jumped up from his seat and pointed a finger at Daran and Janet, “Ah ha! We caught you right
there! How do you intend to respond to this witness’s words?” Daran crossed his arms in front of his
chest with a cold face, “I did not intend to respond to anything. This is complete bullshit.
“But you heard the man-”
“This man’s testimony held no credibility!” Jsnapped, “As far as I am concerned, this man could be
just a pawn of yours and you are trying to use him to frus for something we didn’t do!”
“Con, Gamma Janet. Nobody has tfor that. We are just trying to find the murderer here,”
Lance said sullenly.
“Then why doesn’t his fiancé cout and testify?” Jsnarled.
She went up to the man. Gorden started to quiver even more violently when she cclose.
“You are not even the first witness,” Jlooked down at his horror-struck face. “Where is your
fiancé?”
Gorden stuttered, “She…she didn’t want to come…”
“Oh? And why is that?”
Gorden gulped nervously. His eyes flickered and looked away to avoid Janet’s sharp gaze.
Then his eyes met with Lance’s.
Lance was staring at him from this distance with a clear hint of warning on his face, which sent a shiver
down Gorden’s spine.
“My My fiancé didn’t cbecause…” Gorden mumbled, “Because she was scared! She was afraid
that you might hurt her if she cin person. She senthere to represent her. You-you cold-hearted
fucking murderers!”
Jgritted her teeth in rage.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis Gorden was a real fucking prick.
Did he have any idea that those people-including Lance-were the sole reason that
his fiancé had been in pain?
If it weren’t for she and Daran, Dora would have been raped by Danton. This poor girl probably
wouldn’t last till the next dawn.
Yet instead of avenging his fiancé, Gorden chose to bend over and work with the
monsters.
Jfelt sorry for Dora.
Right now, she just wanted to slap the man in the face and tell him to fuck off.
Before she put her thoughts into action, somebody beat her to it.
Daran strode forward and raised his right leg, giving a hard kick on Gorden’s chest! Gorden was sent
flying backward. His body slammed against the wall and dropped down.
He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“What the fuck…STOP!”
Everyone around the table jumped from their seats and glared at Daran in horror. They were all taken
aback by Daran’s sudden moment.
Soldiers stepped forward and drew out their blades as a sign of warning.
Yet Daran was not intimidated by that at all.
He glanced at the soldiers icily. One look and those soldiers were frozen in their spots, terrified.
“What are you doing, Alpha Daran?” Lance hissed. “Are you trying to kill our witness and wipe the
evidence away?”
Daran turned around and faced the crowd.
Everyone took an involuntary step back, including Lance.
“I will not stand here and have a fucking nobody slander me, callinga murderer.”
Daran said in a cold voice.
“You invitedhere, Lance. So you better makefeel welcome. Keep throwing shit atand I will
make you regret it. You won’t like my temper.”
Lance inhaled sharply. Fear flickered across his eyes.
“My King! This is a blatant threat!” one guy cried indignantly, “You brought them in here, and for what?
They are acting like they own this place! Walking around and killing our men under our noses! We
should teach them a lesson, show them whe is the real boss!”
Jstepped forward, clenching her fists, “How dare you! If you dare to make a move, our troops will
burn this place down to the ground!”
“Then we will fucking kill you today!” one soldier roared, “You can’t shift. You can’t even leave the city!
You won’t be able to gather your forces. This is the day you
die!
Daran stood before Janet, his face cold as a stone.
“Then go ahead. Give it a try.”
He sneered, staring at those alerted soldiers.
“It has been stsince I killed a rogue. My wolf and I are both getting thirsty.”
The room lapsed into a ringing silence, with tension building in the air.
Everyone stood, stock-still, glaring at the opposing side.
They would lunge at the enemy at any second.
Jheld her breath, her mind racing fast, quickly assessing the situation.
This Gorden guy really ruined their whole plan. It seemed that Lance was now convinced that they
killed Danton.
If these soldiers attacked them, Jwas confident that she and Daran could get out. But they couldn’t
leave the city, not with the rogue’s blood still left in their body. So it would be tricky to gather their
forces…
Right in the middle of this heated moment, Lance cleared his throat and spoke up: “OK. That is
enough. Everyone, drop your weapon.”
“But my King-
“I said, DROP IT.” Lance stressed, “This is not how we treat our guests.”
Everyone looked reluctant. They slowly lowered their weapons while still glaring at Jand Daran.
Well, this was unexpected.
Jraised an eyebrow.
Lance was really willing to bend this far to put up with her and Daran. But what for? Was he afraid of
Daran? Or was he planning on something?
Jdidn’t know.
She got a feeling that there was a part left in Lance’s plan that they had yet to find
out.
“But My King…” one soldier said with a hesitant tone, “Are we really going to let them off the hook like
that? What about General Danton’s
s case?”
Before Lance could answer, the door to the Counseling Hall flew open and someone crushing in.
It was Andre.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“My King!” Andre cried, slightly out of breath. “I heard that there is an open trial to investigate my
father’s death. Why am I not included in this?”
“Andre! You came.” Lance said with a simper, “I am just afraid that you are still deep in your sorrow and
don’t have the energy to deal with all these. But I am glad that you are here.”
“So what is happening here? Fillin,” Andre said.
“A witness had cforward-” Lance pointed at Gorden, “-saying that your father was killed by Alpha
Daran and Jlast night.”
“BULLSHIT!” Andre snarled.
Whispering suddenly broke out all over the hall.
All the people on Lance’s side stared at Andre, astonished and suspicious.
“Master Andre, are you sure?” one man couldn’t help but ask, “This witness clearly said that-”
“I am sure!” Andre said with a hundred percent certainty. “My father died due to drug abuse. It was a
great tragedy. But he was not murdered!”
An astonished gasp could be heard among the crowd.
“But what about those strange marks on his body?” someone questioned, “His haif-missing tongue.
The cut on his throat…”
“He bit his own tongue off?” someone gasped.
Everyone was rendered speechless.
Andre gave them a completely different story.
But whom should they trust? Andre or Gorden?
“NO-” Gorden straightened his upper body and cried, “NO! You are lying! Dora toldherself…these
two killed General Danton!”
Many nodded along. It was true. Everyone here knew that Danton adored Andre. “And you on the other
hand-”
Andre hissed and approached Gorden step by step. He grabbed Gorden by the hair and pulled his
head up.
you piece of shit with your mouth full of craps! How dare you fabricate things about my father’s death
and disturb him in his sleep! You will pay for this!”
“I-I didn’t-” Gorden cried.
“My King!”
Andre raised his voice and talked over Gorden.
“I demand to have this man execute! Flogged to death! For his audacity to lie to all of our faces!”
