Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 466 A Tough Nut To Crack
Rufus’ POV:
I spent the whole day inquiring about the missing werewolves with Geoffrey.
The people in charge and the councilors were all called for interrogation. But their answers were the same as Geoffrey’s. They all claimed it to be a normal migrating issue.
I skimmed across the documents they had submitted. Everything looked similar. It seemed obvious they had colluded in private.
I scratched my head because the situation seemed tricky. Dealing with a few bad guys would have been easy. But the whole pack?
Attacking them by f0rce was an easy task. The problem, however, was that the truth would be completely buried in ruins after their collusion collapsed.
Generally speaking, those in high positions wouldn’t mind risking everything. Once their interests were threatened, they would do anything to protect themselves and what they had, and it would cause a series of chain reactions.
Therefore, I decided to deal with the issue one step at a time in order to find out the truth. Being composed at this time was cardinal, so I maintained my cool the entire time.
The councilor beside me was still talking about
strengthening the pack so that more werewolves would come to settle here.
“Enough!” I was tired of hearing the same thing over and over again. “You can leave now.”
The councilor glanced at Geoffrey and nodded. “Yes.”
Geoffrey smiled and sat opposite me. “You’ve been investigating all day. I think you should get some rest. I’ve asked my men to prepare a banquet in the front hall. Please go and enjoy it.”
I threw the document on the desk and snorted with disdain. I knew I wouldn’t be able to find anything if I went on investigating this way. Geoffrey was an old fox. He had arranged everything well and I couldn’t find anything unusual.
However, one thing seemed odd. The werewolves that had disappeared didn’t have families or relatives. At least their names weren’t listed on the household register.
“Or should I ask them to serve the banquet here?” Geoffrey asked again, a permanent smile plastered on his face.
“Let’s go there. We have nothing else to investigate.” I pretended to have no doubts, hoping to lower Geoffrey’s guard.
Geoffrey narrowed his eyes and looked at me. “I can promise you it’s nothing suspicious. People just come and go, nothing more. Stop worrying about it.”
“What about her?” I asked about the vampire slave to change the topic.
“Don’t worry. She is fine. You can call her to serve you any time you want.” Geoffrey grinned.
“That’s good. Tell her to serve me again tonight,” I said coldly.
“Okay.” Geoffrey immediately understood what I meant. Then he added, “Miss Todd seemed very unhappy. What if she fights with you again?”
I frowned and disagreed with him. “What should I be afraid of? She’s just a she-wolf. Besides, I can change my mate if I feel she isn’t the right match for me. And as a prince’s mate, she should be more broadminded.”
“Yes, it’s natural for a man to try being with other women,” Geoffrey echoed. He also told me about his mistresses. They were all aware of the presence of the other women in Geoffrey’s life, but they had somehow accepted it. They were all obed*ient to him.
“I’m tired of Sylvia, too.” I smiled. “Just as you said, I want to try someone new. That slave is good. She is more sensible and obed*ient than Sylvia. She would be the ideal mistress for me.”
Although I looked calm on the surface, the guilt was eating me up.
I felt a shiver run down my spine. I feared Sylvia would suddenly materialize behind me like a ghost.
