The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1190

Rufus' POV:

I lit the small torch on the wall with my lighter, and the dim yellow light helped me see further into the room.

It was wider than I had expected it to be. Several iron cages were lined along the walls.

I observed them and guessed that the children in those cages must have been caught before, while the ones outside the cages were probably new here. Their clothes looked newer too, supporting my theory.

The iron cages had thick stains, and only a thin layer of straw was scattered on the floor.

Since the children were locked together and huddled in one corner of the cage, I had to crouch down and check them one by one.

Compared with the children outside the cages, the ones inside them were much more miserable. Their bodies were mutilated and they were in a dismal state. It looked like they had been locked up for an extended period of time.

The child sitting in one of the corners was even missing a leg. His leg stump was wrapped in a bandage, and blood oozed out.

I stood up straight, wanting to scrutinize it more carefully. The child didn't say anything, but his innocent eyes tracked my movements warily, which enraged me.

I didn't have any success in finding Arron in the first row, so I clenched my fists and began looking in the second row of cages.

My uncertainty was increasing.

At this moment, I suddenly spotted a child with a scar on his face.

There was no bandage on his face. I was not sure, but his figure and build matched Arron's.

I tentatively asked, "Arron? Are you okay?"

The child looked up at me but didn't respond to the name.

I studied the remaining three children in front of me. Their hair and pupil colors weren't right. I didn't need to take a closer look.

"Where are you from?" I didn't give up and continued questioning the boy.
