The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1163

Crystal's POV:

Rufus took me to an amusement park.

The place was bustling, with people constantly coming and going, and the air was filled with the sweet and savory smell of food from the stalls.

It might have something to do with the fact that it was the weekend, as the park was unbelievable packed.

I wasn't here to enjoy whatever it had to offer, however.

I turned to Rufus. "What are we doing here?" I asked in a quiet voice.

He whirled around and held up two green masks he had bought at a stall near the entrance. He lightly tapped my hand with one and gestured at me. "First, you need to put this on."

"What the hell for?" I asked in confusion, even as I complied with his instruction.

I knew Rufus could tell how anxious I was, and I was grateful for his patience as he explained, "We're here to look for Arron. The traffickers said that he was taken to this place."

I was stunned by this revelation. "You mean to say that the traffickers' hideout is somewhere in this park? But this place looks so big, and if the military finds out, won't it be a total loss?"

I had assumed that Arron would be sold to a traveling circus and get locked up in a small, dark cage. I never imagined he would be in such a massive and extravagant amusement park.

One look, and I could tell that this place charged hefty prices for everything. How brazen of those traffickers to carry out their crimes behind such a flagrant cover.

"Well, what are we still standing around for, then?" I grabbed Rufus' arm, my voice filled with urgency. "Let's go find him!"

"Hold on, calm down." Rufus' warm hand clamped down on my wrist and stopped me from rushing forward.

"What else are we waiting for?" I scowled at him, desperate to see my son and make sure that he was all right.

"You should have realized this already, but the park is an actual, legitimate business that caters specifically to adults. We won't be able to find Arron if we just dart off aimlessly. Listen, in the evening, there will be a freak show that showcases a number of disabled people."
