[Donaldâs Perspective]
âThere was a new attack here. There were two attackers, and one was here,â I said in a low voice. I pointed my finger at the person lying on the ground.
âThereâs another one. I just killed him.â I turned my gaze to Elliot and pointed in a direction. âThe person I killed is over there. Take the assault team and deal with him.â
Elliot quickly led the assault team over there. Now there were only the people Armstrong and I had brought with us, and Angel.
âWhat the hell is going on?â Armstrong said.
âAlpha, it was an accident. Iâll explain when I get back, but I think we should take this man back to the pack and guard him for now,â I said.
Armstrong raised his eyebrows and said, âSo this one on the ground is our prisoner?â
âThatâs right,â I said.
âThen this is good news. This will be our breakthrough,â Armstrong said excitedly, then frowned.
âHowever, our pack doesnât have a place to specially imprison people. I can put him in the ward with the person who is still unconscious so that they can be guarded together.â
âItâs not appropriate,â I said. âWeâd better keep them out of contact with each other. We can get more information by interrogating them alone.â
âThen thereâs a basement in my house. Itâs hardly ever used.â
Armstrong suggested, âWe can hold him there for the time being and have someone guard the door. I will make sure he doesnât escape.â
âThen letâs do it first.â I stopped a royal Lycan. âGive me a sedative.â
Damn, I didnât know who he was. He should have been brought here by Angel, too, and once again I was worried about so many of my men that I didnât know. I had to send Angel away before she did anything else to make me regret having her here as commander.
All members of the assault team carried a sedative with them when they went on missions. The effects of this sedative were different from those circulating in the market.
These contained a higher dose of drugs that could knock out even a muscular werewolf for more than an hour. Angel had already given this attacker a shot when she knocked him out. Just to be sure, I planned to give him another.
I pushed the needle through his vein and handed him to Armstrong.
âThat will at least guarantee him a coma for an hour. Have your men take him back and lock him up.â
Armstrong nodded and called for someone to come and carry him away.
I glanced at Angel, who was still standing there. I called out, âAngel, come with us.â
We walked out of the forest in silence. Everyone was careful as we walked, afraid that there would be a third attack tonight. Fortunately, there wasnât. Perhaps the enemy had seen too many of us and knew that it would be difficult for them to succeed.
âYour Majesty Lycan King, Iâll bring them back first and redeploy the defenses. Iâll discuss it with you in the office later, okay?â Armstrong said.
âI want to go to the hospital first. Why donât we get everyone there?â
Armstrong nodded and left with his men.
I turned to Angel.
I deliberately left her alone for the rest of the night. I knew that everyone felt it. No one spoke to her or asked her anything, but to my surprise, Angel didnât raise any objections herself. She just stood there without saying a word.
âGive me the token. You should go back to detention,â I said stiffly.
âAre you really going to do this, Donald?â Angel was still standing upright at this point.
I didnât say anything. I held out my hand to her very firmly.
Angel slowly removed the token representing the commander from her waist and rubbed the lines on her palm. However, she didnât hand it to me immediately. Instead, she said, âYou dismissed me like this for no reason. What are you going to tell the assault team?â
Her eyes lit up again. It was the aggressive aura I was familiar with.
âI naturally have an idea.â
âI was able to become the commander of the assault team because I fought my way up step by step. I had better assessment results and better combat skills than the others. You set the rules of the assault team. You know that if I donât get the approval of the others, I wonât be able to get this position. This is one of the reasons why the assault team is so powerful.â
Angel looked at me provocatively. âMy men will definitely be dissatisfied if you replace me so directly. Do you still dare to use a team that is divided?â
âI have more than one assault team. Besides, they should know that their ultimate loyalty is to the Lycan King, not to a commander,â I said.
