Chapter 137: Kaito...A Bloody Liar.

"Are you trying to drive me crazy with your questions?" Kaito asked, his eyes burning with anger. How dare he accuse him and his brothers of something so vile.

"I don’t think that’s what he meant," Principal Valois said quickly, pressing her hand against her chest. She glanced at Mr. Slade before he could say anything else that would only make the boys angrier. "Can you please step aside while I speak to them? Call the ambulance to come for the body."

Mr. Slade hesitated, clearly unhappy to leave, but he had no choice. With a sour look, he pulled out his phone and walked toward the security guards who stood a distance away.

"Don’t tell me you actually believe what he said?" Renn demanded, his brows drawn together in disbelief. They could accuse him and his brothers of anything, but murder? That was too much. His voice broke with hurt as he added, "If we killed him, we would never lie about it."

"I didn’t say I believe him, but..." Principal Valois began, then stopped herself. The boys were ready to argue, and she knew she would get nothing out of them if it turned into a fight. Her face paled. "This is so bad. Did you truly not do it?"

Renn rubbed his forehead and began pacing. "She is still asking if we did it or not. Can’t you see—"

"Don’t let your anger take over," Taros cut him off firmly. He turned toward the principal, his voice steady. "Stop letting that man’s poison fill your ears. You know us better than that. We did not do this."

Principal Valois gave a small nod, though her eyes showed her worry. There were so many questions swirling in her mind, questions that could shake the entire academy. If the board and the sponsors heard that a student had died on campus again, it would cause chaos. Years had passed since such a tragedy. She had prayed never to see it return, yet here they were.

"We need to inform our parents, the students, and the board," Kaito said, stepping closer to the body. He bent down, about to touch it, when Principal Valois quickly stopped him.

"Don’t. We don’t know what that thing is. It could carry a disease or something dangerous to werewolves," she said, fear making her voice tremble. She backed away and motioned for them to follow. "Come, let’s stay clear of it until the ambulance arrives."

For the first time, the boys obeyed her without a single word of protest.

"What do you think it is?" Renn asked, his face clouded with confusion. "I have never seen anything like it."

"I don’t know," Principal Valois admitted softly. She looked at each of them, her tone turning grave. "This will remain a secret between us, do you understand?"

She pointed at him. "Even you too. Don’t say a word to anyone
