The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 1139

Rufus' POV:

Crystal was obviously upset and she didn't conduct the questioning in an organized manner.

"Why don't you just confess?" Her eyes blazed with rage as she asked the servants loudly.

Crystal's bluff successfully caught the attention of most of them.

And when she combined her threats with inducements, their expressions changed dramatically.

However, it was still difficult to figure out if they were pretending or not.

I didn't interrupt her. I just stood to one side and observed the servants quietly.

While Crystal was still questioning them, I noticed a servant who didn't fit in with the others.

The panic and worry on the other servants' faces were real, but his expression seemed to be feigned. His reaction was slower than that of the people around him, and his eyes seemed to be blank.

I fixed my gaze on him. As I predicted, he constantly sent covert glances at Crystal and watched her with more inquiry than fear.

I recognized him as a groom of an elder of the royal family. The elder had isolated himself from the world, and he rarely gave his servants any work.

But this groom still wore his work boots at night.

I squeezed Crystal's shoulder. She stopped talking and turned to look at me.

Pointing one finger at the groom, I said in an icy voice, "You, step forward. Which palace do you

The groom looked up to meet her eyes. Then he removed a sharp knife from his pocket at lightning speed. Before anyone could react, he moved to slash his neck with a determined expression.

I hurriedly aimed a kick at the knife he was holding.

The guards around were highly vigilant and immediately encircled the groom.

I glanced at him as he lay fallen on the ground and relaxed my furrowed eyebrows.

He had almost committed suicide. But fortunately, he hadn't succeeded.

I impatiently gestured to my subordinate next to me and ordered, "Arrest and interrogate him."

My men immediately tied him up.
