The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1010

Rufus' POV:

After Flora and Joanna left, I remained quietly on the throne for a while, thinking about our conversations from earlier. Then, I asked a subordinate beside me, "What do you think of their stories?"

As for me, I didn't buy a single word of it. Actually, both their accounts were consistent, but they were pretty far-fetched.

Joanna was brought up by Noreen and was trained as a killer since she was a child.

I had never met Noreen in person, but I knew from my mother that that black witch was a ruthless and powerful woman. Noreen would never do meaningless things, nor waste her time cultivating a fool.

Since Joanna could disguise as a boy and lurk in the school and the army for so long, she must have a rigorous and low-key way of doing things. If that was the case, stealing a dress would be the last thing she would do. Her justification for trying on the dress was that she was sick of wearing men's clothes all the time.

She would never do such a stupid thing.

Besides, Alina was a vindictive woman. Would she be so forgiving if she found out that Joanna had stolen her dress?

The answer was definitely no. Alina would either cause a scene, or make Joanna's life a living hell. But as far as I could tell, Alina and Joanna used to get along just fine.

There were many logical loopholes in Flora's and Joanna's stories, but I couldn't seem to point a finger on a glaring mistake. So I had to let them go back for now.

The subordinate said frankly, "After receiving your order yesterday, I went and searched online with the photos of Alpha Crystal snapped from the surveillance footage, and found that there was no useful information about her everywhere. Later, our spies claimed Flora had spent the night at Crystal's, so I set out to investigate her first. I didn't expect to indeed find some clues."

"So you also don't believe what they just said?" I asked with my brows furrowed.
