Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 1153 You Can’t Defeat Them
Crystal’s POV:
The she-wolf’s words stunned me, As I looked around the other human traffickers. I witnessed how their faces softened with a hint of sadness.
“It’s not that we don’t want to tell you, but that we can’t. At this point, we have no other choice. We only wish to die if doing so will ensure the protection of our loved ones, especially our children.” As the she-wolf spoke, tears slowly trickled down her face while her eyes were filled with exhaustion and despair.
I didn’t doubt whether she was telling the truth or not. At this point, there was no need for her to lie to me.
“In times of trouble, you can count on the royal family to come to your aid. I’ll help save your kids, I promise.” In an effort to get them to open up, I initiated conversation. But they didn’t believe me. One werewolf, despite his tiny frame, was stubborn. With his neck red from anger, he retorted, “The royal family has always been superior. They only say nice things, but in their eyes, we are just ciphers. They don’t give a shit about us! I have my doubts that you can save us and our kids. They are in the hands of the traffickers, not yours. You’re out in the light, while they’re in the shadows. Even if you really want to fight against them. I doubt you could win.”
I was amused at his words. “You don’t think the royal army can defeat a bunch of criminals? Really? I think you are like a frog at the bottom of a well. You can only make out a little section of the sky. There’s a lot you’re missing out on how powerful the royal army is.”
The skinny werewolf spat and remarked scornfully, “The royal family is nothing. How could they not know where the traffickers are if they have the power to crush them? To tell you the truth, the human-trafficking industry behind that group of people is huge, and they don’t take the royal family seriously at all. No one. not even the loser lycan king, is able to touch them. In time, perhaps, a new ruler, someone more capable, will emerge from among the werewolves.”
Hearing this, I couldn’t help but glance over at Rufus, who was barking commands at his guys from behind me. He caught my eye and nodded casually in response. His eyes were dark, and there was no sign of emotion there. He appeared to be dismissive of these individuals.
What the skinny werewolf said was enough to get him executed. He slandered the royal family and disrespected the king. For that, he could be sentenced to death and his family might also get involved.
The skinny werewolf seemed to be nearsighted. He continued to yell insults at the king, and the royal family without realizing that Rufus was the loser he had been referring to.
I couldn’t stand it anymore. I raised the sword near his neck and said coldly, “I’m not here to listen to your nonsense. Either talk, or die.”
The skinny werewolf snorted arrogantly. He even moved closer to my sword. “Kill me. I won’t tell you anything.” In my wrath, I placed all my energy on my wrist and nearly broke it. When I was about to teach him a lesson, a cold and good-looking hand held my wrist and gently took away the sword from my hand.
“I’ll take it from here,”
Rufus said indifferently and then signaled the soldiers to escort the human traffickers into the factory building.
I wanted to follow him, but he stopped me. “Wait for me outside and don’t do anything.”
After that, he shut the door.
In no time, screams blared from inside. I covered my ears and squatted down. My mind was racing, and my pulse was pounding, as a multitude of thoughts and possibilities flooded my mind. My body began to tremble uncontrollably, and I got in a stew.
A long time passed before the screaming subsided, and the sound of the door opening came from behind me.
