The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Rufus' POV:

The muddy little girl clung to my leg tightly and didn't let go. I didn't know what she was muttering.

The two robbers groaned painfully on the ground. They were being very noisy.

I shot them an annoyed glance, and the soldier immediately understood. He approached them and punched both of them hard, knocking them out cold.
