The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 138

Chapter 138

Greg rolled his eyes as he responded to Kelissa Kylton’s inauthentic hospitality, “Like I had a choice.”

“Good that you know who’s in-charge here.” Kelissa smirked bumptiously,

“No, I don’t. I just know that it’s not me.” Greg lied with ease. This was going to be easier than he thought. Whoever was harming Lucianne already assumed that Greg had voluntarily surrendered superiority the moment he made the call and cited the code. But nothing could be further from the truth.

Greg Claw was inferior to no one. No one! …Alright, fine. No one, except Lucianne. 3

Kelissa scoffed darkly at Greg’s response and asked, “So, are you saying that I don’t look like someone who’s capable of leading this work?”

“No. All I’m saying is that until I meet the full team, I cannot gauge who’s leading it.”

“What if I tell you that there’s a consensus that I’m the one who calls the shots, and the rest are nothing more than mere advisers?”

“I stand by what I said, Kylton. Until I meet the whole team, I won’t know who’s really in-charge. If I learned anything, it’s that the official leader isn’t always the leader. Some ‘advisers’ can be so influential that the official leaders are just mindless puppets.”

“Are you trying to agitate me, your Grace?” Kelissa was getting impatient. If Greg were being honest, yes, he’d very much like to agitate and tear up anyone involved with hurting Lucianne.

Still, the Duke kept his thoughts to himself and chose to say, “Do you want me to give you my honest opinions, or did you recruit me to sugarcoat everything, Kylton?”

That made Kelissa pause for a brief moment. “Hm. Well, I suppose I would have to respect your perspectives and judgments, seeing that you’ve been in this line of work long enough.”

Greg muttered monotonously, “Wow, I’m flattered.”

“And don’t think of mind-linking anyone, by the way. The device on your wrist would know.” Kelissa warned, and lifted up her phone as she continued, “And I’ll know, too.”

“Yeah, I figured. Would’ve done the same thing if it were me.” Greg said, unperturbed.
