Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 299

Anthony's POV: 

After listening to Amelia's story, Jennifer and I seethed with rage.I hated Larry more than ever in that moment.

We quickly excused ourselves and said goodbye to my mother.

As soon as we stepped outside her room, we all hurried to the meeting room.

When we got there, we found that Roy was already inside waiting for us.

He looked up when we entered and greeted us warmly.

"It's good to see you, Mr.and Mrs.Jones," Roy said.

"My friends will be here soon." I nodded and gestured at Amelia and Morgan.

"They will join our meeting.Amelia knows Larry well, so I think she can help us."

Then, we all settled into our seats at the table.

Jennifer and I sat at the head of the table, waiting for the other wizards to arrive.

We didn't have to wait long.

A few minutes later, they started to trickle in.

"Good day, Mr.and Mrs.Jones."

The first one to arrive was Cynthia.

She greeted us respectfully as soon as she entered the room.

Then she chose the seat next to Roy.

"Glad to see you, Roy."

To me, Roy's expression seemed a little unnatural.

"Hello, Cynthia," he said briefly.

"Cynthia, it's good to see you.There's no need to be so formal.You can call me Jennifer," Jennifer said with a sunny smile.

Soon, two other wizards arrived.We were now complete.

Six witches and wizards were seated around the table, including Amelia and Morgan.

Bill and Clark, who had also helped us before along with Cynthia, were also here.

After briefly introducing everyone to Amelia and Morgan, the meeting officially began.

"Thank you for coming, everyone.We would really appreciate your help in this great time of need," I said gravely.

"Because it's so urgent, I'll come straight to the point.Since the fall of Austin's power, Larry has gone into hiding.I thought he was gone for good, but I was soon proven wrong.Just recently, he attacked my mother with his black magic.Then, he drugged Amelia, which made her life a living hell.As though this wasn't enough, he even sent a parcel of a dead fetus to threaten my queen.All these acts show that Larry wants to officially declare war with us.We can't just sit still and wait for our demise.We need to act fast."

Cynthia nodded, looking at me seriously.

"Roy briefly explained to us what had happened before today's meeting.We understand how you feel.People like Larry give the rest of us a bad name."

"I agree.But the problem is, even if we work together, we might not be able to defeat Larry.The last time we fought with him, we couldn't gain the upper hand," Clark said with a worried look.

"So, if we want to defeat Larry, I suppose we will have to summon more wizards and witches,"

Roy muttered, rubbing his chin, looking very distressed.

Cynthia shook her head.

"Roy, others might not be willing to help.Plus, Larry probably has his own allies.We don't want to spark conflict among the wizards and witches."

I agreed with Cynthia.

Werewolves and wizards never had interfered in each other's affairs before.

We couldn't just drag them into this in dealing with Larry.

"Everyone, you're right.Larry is indeed a powerful wizard.His witchcraft is unmatched, but if we want to defeat him, we don't necessarily have to rely on strength.We can also rely on intelligence," I said slowly.

Sitting next to me, Jennifer chimed in, "Anthony is right.We have Amelia.She knows Larry very well.Once we know our enemy's weaknesses, we will be invincible.Amelia, do you have any ideas?"

Amelia hesitated slightly, her cheeks flushed from embarrassment.

"I don't, but he always says that he loves me.I don't think he's lying, since he's doing everything in his power to get me back."

"If that's the case, then you're the key to defeating him, Amelia!" Jennifer exclaimed excitedly.
