The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 1165

Crystal's POV:

The clown standing in front of Rufus took the phone and thoroughly examined it before passing it on to the clown next to him. The three clowns pored over the phone very carefully and handed it off to one another.

I scrutinized the clown's expressions without blinking.

They whispered among each other, and one of them even took out his phone, probably to compare the invitation.

Was it possible that he discovered something wrong?

Perhaps this wasn't the correct invitation, and Rufus was simply bluffing...

The longer they studied the phone, the colder my insides became.

I peeked at Rufus, and he seemed calm and composed. However, I still couldn't take it easy.

I already knew that Rufus never took risks.

But this time, Arron was involved, so I couldn't play it cool no matter what.

My limbs were getting stiff. The three clowns had been deliberating for a long time.

It seemed that Rufus had just improvised and found the wrong invitation to deal with them.

Perhaps we would soon be exposed and kicked out as frauds.

No, I had to figure another way out. My mind quickly started racing.

As I watched their backs, I felt increasingly heavy-hearted.

Rufus flicked his fingers on my forehead and comfortingly said, "Don't overthink it. We'll discover the truth at three o'clock."

"Okay." I heaved a sigh of relief and curiously turned to him. "How did you get your hands on the invitation?"

Rufus blinked calmly and explained, "Didn't I tell you that this is a suspicious place? I've sent a lot of people to probe, but they couldn't uncover anything. I've been keeping an eye on this place for a long time, wanting to investigate it. The invitation was

prepared a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today."

"That's quite a coincidence." With a sigh, I asked, "Why don't we just bring in soldiers to find Arron? It would be quicker."

With a helpless smile, Rufus somberly explained, "Initially, I considered the idea of breaking in by force, but that would only tip off our enemy. We still don't know Arron's exact location, and we have no proof that he is here. Those people might kill him and destroy the evidence when they're cornered."
