The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Crystal's POV:
I was seething with anger, but I still managed to hold back the impulse to punch Rufus in the face. After all, the man standing in front of me was the most powerful one in the empire. I couldn't afford to offend him. Besides, there were also many guards present. Slalch Thi Findlovel.let website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
I locked eyes with him and accused, "You're the one who restricted me from leaving, aren't you? Why? The festivities are coming to an end. You have no reason to detain me."
Rufus sneered and threw some questions right back at me. "Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Why did you go to such lengths to kidnap Beryl and escape in the middle of the night?"
"It wasn't kidnapping anyone! Beryl is my daughter! Moreover, everyone's preparing to leave the capital. What's so strange about trying to go back home to my pack?" I jutted my chin out at him confidently. I couldn't afford to show any fear at this point. This guy was good at making uses of loopholes. The second he found a crack in my reasoning, he'd definitely attack until I crumbled.
Rufus raised his eyebrows after hearing what I said. He didn't seem to care much for my explanation, nor did he seem concerned about how I felt at the moment.
Suddenly, He ordered his men to go out. Then he called two female officers in to take Arron and Beryl away.
I stood in front of the driver who was holding Beryl and shouted at Rufus in fear and anger, "What're you trying to do?"
Sensing the danger of the situation, Arron also hid behind me and stared at the two female officers warily.
"I want to talk to you alone. There are some things that aren't suitable for kids to listen to, unless you're actually okay with it." Rufus shot me a cold glance before turning around to sit on the sofa. He tapped his fingers on the armrest, waiting for my decision.
I bit my lips hesitantly, at a loss as to what to do. If Rufus really needed to talk to me, it was indeed inappropriate for the two kids to stay. If I couldn't control myself and fought tooth and nail with Rufus, it would really scare the kids.
But I still didn't want to just hand over my kids to Rufus' subordinates.
Rufus seemed to see my concern and said, "Don't worry. These two officials are my most trusted subordinates. They'll take good care of the kids." Then he added in a low voice, "I would never use such terrible means to threaten you."
Of course I knew that Rufus wouldn't do such a despicable thing, so I finally caved.
I squatted down and took Arron's hand gently. "Baby, follow these two ladies outside and wait for me. Mommy has something to deal with."

As I spoke, I adjusted his cap and straightened the scarf around his neck to better cover his face. Be good and take good care of your sister." Arron nodded valiantly. "Okay, Mommy. Be quick!" The content is on bignovels.com! Read the latest

"Okay, Mommy will be with you soon."
Then, Arron, Beryl, and the driver followed the female officers out, leaving Rufus and me alone in the room.
As soon as the door was closed behind them, I turned to glare at Rufus fiercely. "What do you want to talk about?"

I hurried to take the mask back, but Rufus held it high above his head. Even if I tiptoed, I couldn't reach it. He looked down at me leisurely and said, "You left in the middle of the night. You didn't take any of the cars of the border pack, but instead took a car arranged by Warren. You even bribed the guards in the palace to let you sneak out. Did you do something wrong? Is that the reason why you're in such a rush to leave?" The content is on bignovels.com! Read the latest chapter there!
