Chapter 1136 The Mainstay
Crystal's POV:
Using the torch of my phone, I entered the secret passage under the bed
It was filled with meandering and spiraling steps. Both sides of the narrow passage were lined with stone walls, making me feel a bit claustrophobic I counted the steps, which went down and then up. The entire structure was laid out in a U shape.
After walking over five hundred steps, I came to three identical forks.
I was puzzled and didn't know which path to choose.
"Try them all," Yana suggested
"Well, you're right."Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Fortunately, there were no booby traps at these forks, and two of them were simply dead ends
Cnly one fork led to the outside.
After several twists and turns, I finally spotted the sky again. I shoved away the boulder at the entrance of the cave and walked out.
The passage opened into a small garden in the corner of the imperial palace, and was quite secluded. It was far away from the palace of the lycan king, and it was close to the palaces where those elders of the royal family lived.
I walked along the path and carefully noted my surroundings. I spotted several security cameras installed in the area. Perhaps I could find a clue through the surveillance video.
After considering it a while, I went to meet the steward who was in charge of the elders’ palaces.
The steward was a middle-aged man. Dressed in a crisp suit, he looked as if he was dead-on serious and impartial. When he heard my request to check the surveillance video, he bluntly refused. "Even though you're an Alpha, you have no authority to interfere in the affairs of the imperial palace. You can only check the footage with the consent of the lycan king."
"I just want to see the surveillance video of the small garden nearby. I don't want to see the palace interiors, or violate anyone's privacy.” I was so agitated that my volume automatically rose. Content belongs t&"NovelDrama.Org -
The steward remained unmoved. He gazed atime with his hands clasped behind fis back. "Alpha Crystal, this is the-residence of the elders of the royatfarmily. Please don't create a commotion here.” Content. belongs t&"NovelDrama.Org id
"It's urgent. Please make an exception for me this time.” I repeatedly tried to humble myself. I almost begged him, but he didn't let me watch the video, no matter how I pleaded
I was burning with angst. My son had just been kidnapped. This was a crucial time to search for him. I needed to hurry.
I called Rufus, but no one answered. I guessed he was occupied in tending to Beryl
In the end, I had no choice but to barge into the surveillance room with my men. The guards stopped us, and even the elders were alerted. They were not happy to hear that I wanted to check the surveillance footage. Some arrogant elders even ordered the guards to throw us out.
I was so enraged that I fought them head-on.
Chaos reighed. Many nosy people gatheredaround to watch the fuga,” but I couldn't be bothered. My only concern was my son. The more time spent tangling with these people, the-greater danger my sonwould be in”
In a moment of desperation, I unintentionally released a burst of lycan power.
The expression of the elders, who had been watching the drama unfold, transformed drastically. At that moment, Rufus suddenly appeared and shouted, "Stop!"
When I heard his voice, I instantly calmed down. I felt wronged. Rufus looked livid, but I wasn't scared. The second I laid my eyes on him, all my fear and panic dissolved.
I approached him. My tears started flowing down again when I saw him. Choking on my sobs, I said in a helpless voice, "Arron was kidnapped..."
