Chapter 485: National Threat
"Alpha King Elijah! What’s your response to the explosion?!"

"Alpha king Elijah over here!"
Security had already formed a barricade between the crowd of reporters and the entrance of the Lycanthrope Intelligence Agency. Their black uniforms and the sight of their rifles was enough to instil fear in them and keep the ruckus at bay.

With the cameras rolling, Elijah began his speech.
"The incident that occurred last night was not an accident but a deliberate, calculated assault."
