The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 320

Rufus' POV:

Upon finding out that Richard had known about the curse this whole time, I was surprised to find myself calmer than expected.

Over the years, Richard always played tricks behind my back. Of the countless times he had set me up and framed me, I knew he was capable of anything in the future.

So when he mentioned my curse, I wasn't so surprised anymore.

What I did not know, however, was how he found out. Very few people knew about this. Had our father told him?

"What a pity it truly was that the bomb didn't kill you today..." Richard said, his voice dripping in sarcasm. There was a pair of glasses sitting on the bridge of his nose which he pushed up a bit. He was squinting at Sylvia, but he was looking at her with lust.

My face darkened as I pulled Sylvia behind me to keep her out of Richard's sight. The small amount of patience in me was running very thin at this point.

I felt Sylvia grab the hem of my clothes as she scolded Richard, "Do you still have a conscience left in you? You killed so many soldiers today just for power! Because of you, those people are now buried alive under the ruins!"

Richard no longer faked niceties and snorted.

"Well, those people chose to follow the wrong man. To me, it's good that they died and I don't feel any guilt at all."

"You are out of your mind!" Sylvia's face paled with anger and disbelief.

I couldn't help but recall now what Blair had asked before. Was I really going to let Richard have the throne?

In the past, I thought Richard was just always opposing me. I also didn't think inheriting the throne was all that important. All I knew was that as long as I lived, I would not allow anyone to destroy the country under my watch. It was only now that I was realizing Richard did not deserve that position of great power at all.

Not only was Richard a foolish man, but he was also vicious. He did not care about the lives of other people.

If the entire country would be put into the hands of such a person, there would be a great disaster. "What? Do you think I'm so heartless that I didn't want to save those who got buried underground? Well, if you had just accepted your fate and died, no one else would have had to lose their life!" Richard feigned kindness. "You know what? Why don't you just go and kill yourselves now? That way, the soldiers' sacrifice won't be in vain!"
