Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 1171 A Terrible Fraud
Crystal s POV:
Rufus sighed and said in a grave tone, “As the king, I can’t tolerate these criminals, but I didn’t get any proof of their wrongdoing. This is a good opportunity, and I won’t give them any chance to escape.”
As I opened my mouth to respond, the host appeared on stage again. He held the microphone and his perky voice reached every audience member.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we all know that you are kind people, and this is the time to help these children. They were all born disabled and abandoned by their parents. The circus took them in out of kindness, so that they didn’t starve to death on the street. With the kind donation from you, we can provide them with good meals and even
Rufus sighed and said in a grave tone, “As the king, I can’t tolerate these criminals, but I didn’t get any proof of their wrongdoing. This is a good opportunity, and I won’t give them any chance to escape.”
As I opened my mouth to respond, the host appeared on stage again. He held the microphone and his perky voice reached every audience member.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we all know that you are kind people, and this is the time to help these children. They were all born disabled and abandoned by their parents. The circus took them in out of kindness, so that they didn’t starve to death on the street. With the kind donation from you, we can provide them with good meals and even help treat their physical deformities.’’
I watched the disabled children huddled in the corner of the stage and felt sad. If their disabilities were truly inflicted by a person, the people in the circus deserved to be chopped into pieces.
As soon as the host finished speaking, the huge screen beside him displayed seat numbers and the amount donated.
That was when I realized that the QR code on the electronic screen was for donating money. One could scan the code and donate whatever amount they wished from their bank account.
The numbers on the screen kept changing, as numerous guests wanted to give money to these poor children.
The clowns standing beside the children were overjoyed and thanked the guests on the children’s behalf.
Taking advantage of the mayhem, I leaned toward Rufus and whispered in his ear, “Obviously, they’re angling for sympathy.”
Rufus shot me a sideways glance and nodded.
I peeked at the children on the stage. They were all staring at the ground quietly.
“Why don’t these people try to question the children if they are being ill-treated?” I remarked through gritted teeth. The actions of the people in the circus enraged me. What was more annoying was the fact that the audience was willing to be deceived.
“I had dispatched people to check on these disabled children. They all have a medical certificate of congenital disability and they were all formally adopted. My people also quizzed the children individually. I don’t know how the kingpins of this operation have pulled this off. Every child stated that they were voluntarily working at the circus, and they were very grateful to the circus for providing them with a new life,” Rufus whispered.
“Can’t we take some action against these evil people? It’s impossible to believe that they haven’t left any trail,” I muttered with clenched fists.
Rufus shot me a helpless glance and said, “I have inspected every part of this circus under the guise of a fire safely inspection before, but I couldn’t find any violations. I haven’t even come across any children who are still untrained, so they must have another base for the children who have just been abducted and haven’t submitted yet.” When I was about to respond, Rufus squeezed my shoulder and pointed to the stage.
I turned back to it and saw that it was now empty, except for the host. He leisurely coughed into the microphone, tantalizing the audience.
After a speech of gratitude, he purposely took a long pause before continuing, “Next, the real show begins.”
After saying that, he unhurriedly retreated, and the curtains slowly parted.
Although I was mentally prepared, my eyes widened when I was greeted with the sight of a two-headed person walking onto the stage.
