The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1166

Crystal's POV:

Rufus' explanation made sense, as the enemies were lurking in the shadows and they still held plenty of hostages, including my son; so a forcible intrusion would only worsen the situation.

For now, we would have to be patient and wait for the freak show to start at three o'clock.

"We can wander around and survey the layout in this one hour, so that we know our escape routes when it is time to run," Rufus said as he pulled me into the bustling amusement park.

Various stalls had been erected on the broad square. I glanced at the clock tower in the distance and realized that the freak show was due to start in less than an hour.

Sounds of laughter and joy rang out all around us, and in no time, Rufus and I had encountered many young couples.

Every now and then, we spotted a few individuals who had come alone, but the amusement attractions nearby were still crowded with people, and the more popular ones had endless lines in front of them.

It seemed that this amusement park was very well -liked by young people.

As we walked along the path, tourists and staff walked by us, all wearing different masks. These masks were of different colors, but they had all been specially created to conceal people's scents.

"Do you want to go on that one?" Rufus pointed to a nearby amusement ride and asked me.

"No." I shook my head, feeling a little listless. The lively atmosphere around me did nothing to lift my spirits, and I just wanted the clock to strike three quickly.

Rufus and I strolled around the amusement park, thoroughly surveying our surroundings.

The ambiance was really very vibrant here, and this place seemed no different from other amusement parks, except for that special performance.

Rufus led me to a bench near the carousel, where we rested our feet.

I curiously observed the passersby and asked Rufus, "Why aren't there any kids here? Don't the adults bring their kids to play?"

Although several people milled around, we had not spotted a single kid during our wanderings.

"No, kids are not allowed in here. They have promoted this park as being designed for adults to forget their pressures and relive their childhood," Rufus replied softly.
