Chapter 109

Janet stood reluctantly by the door, keeping her guard up.

Just then, Daran stood up from his seat. He was sitting at the opposite end of the long table facing Lance.

He held out his hand to Janet with a warm smile.

Janet’s heart was immediately set at ease. She walked up to Daran and took her seat next to him, holding hands with him under the tablecloth.

“Fabulous.”

Lance clapped, grinning widely.

“Guys, as you can see, we have two special guests here with us today. And I don’t think you need me to introduce them. You all know who they are.”

The room lapsed into a deathly silence.

Nobody said anything. But they were all glaring at Janet and Daran hostilely.

“My King!”

A lanky man shot up from his seat. He was a bony middle-aged man with a horse face. His greasy black hair was worn to the back, revealing his sullen, dark eyes. The man said in a booming voice, “My King, I am just going to speak out for everybody here. These two people are not welcome! They are our enemies! And I certainly don’t understand why you are serving them with nice wine and good food!”

Many echoed him with low mutterings.

Lance smiled idly, “Alpha Daran, meet my Great General, Danton. And his foster son, Andre.”

A roughly 18-year-old boy was sitting next to Danton, sipping from his glass of wine. He looked bored and was probably the only person in this room who paid no attention to Daran and Janet.

“No need to introduce us. I know him,” Daran said icily. “We crossed paths a few times on the battlefield. He lost many of his men to me. Hey Danton, do you still have enough men left to form a decent army?”

Danton looked infuriated.

He slammed the table and barked at Daran, “Don’t be so cocky Daran. You are in our

hands now! I can fucking torture you, or skin you alive whenever I want. My bedroom is in need of a new wolf carpet!”

Daran let out a cold sneer.

“Ambitious,” Daran said freezingly. “But I am not sure if your competence can live up to your ambition. Don’t we have a try here? One-on-one. Just you and me.”

Danton’s body quivered slightly.

“O-One on one?” he gulped.

“Yes. One-on-one. Right here, right now,” Daran brought his hands together and his knuckles cracked. “Bring it up, Danton.”

Danton took an involuntary step back and he bumped against his chair, causing his chair to make a scratchy noise against the floor.

“I-I don’t need to fight you myself!”
