Chapter 181: A Scary Conjecture

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

[Margaret’s Perspective]

My body relaxed after a short period of stiffness. If the other party was Elliot, I wouldn’t be able to break free no matter what. I had seen Elliot’s strength. He was Donald’s most capable warrior. He was the beta of the royal Lycan pack.

“I’ll let go of you now. Don’t shout, okay?” Elliot whispered in my ear.

I nodded nervously.

Elliot slowly released his hand from my mouth. I turned my head and saw Elizabeth and Anthony standing beside her.

I breathed a sigh of relief and took a step toward Elizabeth. I looked at Elliot warily.

I still couldn’t trust Elliot completely, but compared to the Lycans who kidnapped me, Elliot was clearly more trustworthy. And there was Anthony here. I believed that he wouldn’t do anything to harm Elizabeth.

There was another stranger standing behind Elliot. Judging by the smell, he was a Lycan like Elliot. He noticed my gaze and gave me a kind smile.

“This is the new man from the personal guard team. His name is Eric,” Elliot explained.

I nodded at Eric. Anthony was looking around warily. His arm was always around Elizabeth’s shoulder. She was leaning against his chest. I turned my attention back to Elliot and the Lycan warrior behind him.

No, they weren’t all Lycans. There were still some werewolves.

This was a team that had a mix of our pack and the Lycan pack. When I looked at them, they were also looking at me.

I was puzzled by this situation.?Are these people here to save Elizabeth and me or to carry out some special mission? Their combination is too strange. If they are here to rescue us, why didn’t Donald come personally?

A terrible thought crossed my mind.?Are they all traitors? Are all of them in league with Angel?

“What’s our next plan?” I began.

Anthony, Elliot, and Eric looked at each other. It was Eric who spoke first.

“I’ve just sent someone to investigate the cabin. I expect we’ll have news soon. I suggest we decide based on the number of people in the cabin.”

“Our mission is to find them. Now that we’ve found them, there’s no need for us to pay attention to that cabin. Our first priority is to send them back.” Anthony disagreed.

“I want to go back too…” Elizabeth’s faint voice could be heard.

Elliot was looking from left to right, deep in thought.

Then I saw a figure emerge from the cabin Elizabeth and I had just escaped from. All of us stopped talking and focused on the figure.

The figure walked directly in our direction without any obstruction. Just as all of us were holding our breaths, Eric was the first to relax. He straightened up and said, “This is the person I sent, Damianos.”

Eric’s tone was slightly grim. “If he dared to come out like this, it means there’s no one left in that cabin. It seems we are too late. Everyone in the cabin has moved.”

“How is that possible?!” It was Elizabeth who cried out first. “Margaret and I just saw at least two Lycans there. One of them, Arthur, has been threatening us.”

Even if Damianos had not come close, I recognized that his attire was the same as the team behind Eric.

I straightened up as well and took a deep breath. “Well, Elizabeth and I only escaped because we knocked out a guy named Dick. He’s probably still in the basement.”

But Damianos shook his head. “There is no sign of any werewolf or Lycan there.”

“They used the Mist on us,” I said, remembering. “Could they have used the Mist to hide their scent? They’re actually still in this cabin.”

Damianos gave me a surprised look when I mentioned the Mist. Then he said, “The Mist leaves traces after it’s used. It doesn’t disappear completely. In fact, we can tell each other’s locations simply by its concentration. But the smell of the Mist in that house is already very faint. They can’t still be hiding there.”

“Actually, if they’re still in the cabin, they don’t have to do this,” Elliot added. “Their frontal assault power is no weaker than ours. There’s no need to create this illusion. In fact, if they’re still inside, we are the ones who need to worry.”
