The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 447 A Wall Made Of Gold

Sylvia's POV:

When the soldier unlocked the door, he was about to handcuff us again.

"No need." The leading guard stopped him reluctantly. Then he looked at us and spoke in a much more polite tone. "I misunderstood you earlier, so I had no choice but to handcuff you. Now, it's not necessary." I could tell that he was scared. Geoffrey must've given him a piece of his mind.

Harry rolled his eyes at the leading guard indignantly. "I told you not to do anything stupid. Now, look at what you've done."

The leading guard forced a smile, but his eyes showed his true emotions. Gritting his teeth, he dared not to say anything rash.

When Flora walked past him, she sneered with disdain. "Humph. Coward."

"Let's go. The Alpha is waiting." The leading guard couldn't hurt us, so he could do nothing but suppress his anger. He was even forced to swallow his pride and bow to us, which was incredibly satisfying. "He looked down on us and accused us of being thieves. If anyone here's a thief, it's him," still fuming with rage, Flora whispered to me unhappily.

"Well, calm down. Try to see things from his perspective. What we did earlier really was suspicious," I comforted Flora softly.

Soon, we were led to a luxurious meeting room.

This was probably where Geoffrey usually held his meetings.

Although I had known that Geoffrey lived an extravagant life, I was still shocked to see that one of the walls in the room was made of solid gold. The wall was inlaid with many colorful gemstones. When the lights were turned on, they sparkled dazzlingly.

"How rustic!"

Even John, who seldom expressed his feelings, couldn't help but comment sarcastically.

Geoffrey really had no taste.

But before we could look at the wall carefully, Geoffrey entered the meeting room with a smile. Instantly, his eyes landed on me.

"Miss Todd, I've heard so much about you. It's an honor to see you here."

"You know me?" I asked, bewildered.

Geoffrey shook his head and smiled. "No. I wasn't able to attend the annual military parade because our pack is too far away. I have, however, heard about you and I've seen your photos."

"Oh, I see." But his enthusiasm caught me off guard. I had no idea what to say.

"When you first came here today, you were with the rest of the soldiers, so I didn't recognize you," Geoffrey explained patiently.

"Aren't you worried that I'm an impostor?" I narrowed my eyes at him.

Geoffrey waved his hand confidently. "I believe that no one would dare to pretend to be Prince Rufus' mate, unless they want to die."

That made sense. "Since this is all just a misunderstanding, can you let us go?"

"Of course!" Geoffrey burst into laughter. Then he turned around and patted Harry on the head dotingly. "I remember you, Harry. I visited your pack ten years ago. At the time, you were still a little boy, clinging to your father's leg and crying all day long."

"Oh, uhm, really?" Harry scratched his head awkwardly.

That was when I noticed the leading guard standing next to Geoffrey. All the color had drained from his face and his body trembled like a leaf.

Geoffrey gestured at us to sit down. Then he turned to the leading guard and announced his execution.

The leading guard was so frightened that he knelt on the floor and begged for mercy. "I didn't mean to offend the distinguished guests. I really had no idea who they were. Please forgive me!"

Geoffrey pounded his fist on the table loudly and snapped, "How dare you try to defend yourself? You're lucky Prince Rufus isn't here, or you'd have been ripped to shreds on the spot by now!"
