True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules
Chapter 199
Chapter 199
The villagers stood in stunned silence, feeling the sting of an injustice they couldn’t fathom.
They hadn’t done a thing.
The chief had heard the creature before them, a Werewolf, no less, had been denied some mystical title because of someone’s blunder, and he’d called the culprit an absolute fool, nearly fainting in disbelief.
“My lord, who are you referring to? Who’s this person?” he asked, despite having a sneaking suspicion of the guilty party.
It was likely the descendant of the hunter who once brought wealth to their little hamlet.
Almost reflexively, the chief’s eye’s swept over the crowd of villagers, searching for a particular face among them.
He remembered that family had come to the gathering that day.
Some of the older folks seemed to grasp the situation as well, their gazes falling on a pale–faced young
man.
Aleck Lane, his family was among the wealthiest in the village.
After all, it was the Lane family whose fortunes had spurred the local economy, owning almost half of the mandrake farming contracts.
The Lanes were well–regarded in the village, and Aleck had lived a life of luxury since birth, moving to the city and only returning to his roots during the holidays, carrying with him the airs of a spoiled rich kid.
He was popular with the village youth, loved his liquor, and was known for his drunken rants.
Today, he’d come to the mountain seeking excitement and a glimpse of the rumored Werewolf, never imagining it would all come crashing down on him.
As the accusation sank in, Aleck vaguely remembered something absurd he’d once said, something he’d dismissed as a drunken dream.
He’d never connected it to the odd occurrences plaguing the village.
If only he’d known…
