Chapter 110
There was a short, astonished silence.
Then the entire hall fell into chaos.
Most people jumped up from their seats, backing away from Daran in horror. Danton gritted his teeth and dashed at Daran. Yet he got stopped by Janet before he could get to Daran.
Janet raised a leg and kicked him on his chest, sending him lurching back. Danton fumbled to hold onto something to regain his balance. He grabbed the tablecloth in panic, pulling the whole cloth off the table, causing all the silver and china to crash down to the floor.
On the other side, Daran had got to the cage. He held the huge iron lock in his palm. With a simple twist, the lock broke into pieces in his hand.
He wrenched the door open and pulled the young woman out.
“Get out of here. Now!” he snapped.
The woman staggered away from the cage in panic.
One rogue tried to persuade her. Daran grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up from the floor. The next second, the rogue was sent flying across the room and crashing into the wall.
“Stop!” Lance squeaked, “Somebody stop them! Guards! Guards!” But most people in the banquet hall were too afraid to make a move.
Danton was still sitting on the floor, groaning for his broken hips.
Morgana was still in her seat, drinking wine. She looked as though she couldn’t be bothered.
Daran turned around to Lance, his whole body covered in blood. With a grim face, he walked up to the Rogue King in long strides.
He picked up a candlestick along the way.
Lance backed away hastily, still crying for help, “Guards! Get the fuck in here! Morgana-”
Morgana raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
Guards finally poured into the banquet hall at that moment. But they were all the way across the room. It was too late for them to save Lance.
Daran had arrived at Lance’s side already. Lance dodged him awkwardly but failed. His collar fell into Daran’s hands.
With a thumping noise, the candlestick was stuck all the way into Lance’s heart!
Everyone let out a collective gasp.
Janet saw this scene on the other side of the hall.
Her heart jumped up to her throat.
Apparently, Daran was aiming at Lance’s heart this time.
Was that enough to kill him?
Lance huched back, holding the candlestick with both of his hands, panting roughly
Then with a firm pull, he plucked the candlestick out, blood oozing out
“Y-You did it again”
Lance coughed, blood streaming down from the corner of his mouth.
” I said I wanted to be friends with you…”
“The fuck you are,” Daran snaped.
He stared at Lance coldly, waiting for him to crash to the ground.
But that never happened.
That stab wound was healing at a speed visible to the human eyes. By seconds, Lance’s chest was good as new again, as though he had never been stabbed.
As werewolves, their wolves could help them heal the wounds and fast-forward the healing process.
But the heart was one of their vulnerable areas, They couldn’t be healed if their hearts were stabbed.
Not to mention a stab wound like that would normally take months to heal, even with the help of their wolves.
Yet Lance just did it within seconds!
Janet felt a cold feeling up and down her back.
This man…the Rogue King…was a fucking monster!
How the hell did he do that?
“I am very disappointed in you, Alpha Daran.”
Lance wiped the blood away from his mouth and said in a sullen voice.
“I thought I already told you…The Rogue King can’t be killed. It is the gift that the Moon Goddess blessed us with!”
Daran let out a snort, “It is worth a try.”
Lance’s jaw tightened.
“If you are ready to shake hands and become friends, I am right here,” he said.
“You should go and fuck yourself,” Daran said freezingly. “If you dare to keep up in the city, prepare to be stabbed at least once a day.”
He ignored Lance and strode towards Janet.
Rogues hurried to make way for him.
They walked out of the banquet hall together, holding hands, and they never gave another look at the rest of the people left inside.
Janet was a bit disappointed to see Lance survive this attack again. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
If aiming at his heart didn’t work, she honestly didn’t know what would.
“Do you think he is truly immortal?”
Janet asked Daran worriedly after they got back to their room.
To her surprise, Daran answered right away without hesitation, “No, he is not.”
“How can you be so sure?”
“Lance is not the first Rogue King. He became King after his predecessor died. And I heard some rumors that the former Rogue King didn’t die in a natural cause. He was killed by somebody.”
“…Which means that the Rogue King can be killed. We just haven’t found the right way,” Janet murmured.
“Precisely.”
Daran nodded, “And I already have an idea about this.”
“What? Tell me,” Janet pursued eagerly.
“There must be someone from the past generation who knows about who killed the former Rogue King and how. If we have hands-on information, it will not be hard for us to kill Lance.”
Janet bit her lips.
Daran was right about this. But…
“Everyone here is rogues. Are they really willing to tell us how to kill their King?” she asked lowly.
Daran pulled her into his arms, “We just need to find the right person. And don’t forget that we still have a person on the inside, Kass.”
Janet’s eyes lit up with excitement immediately.
Right, Kass!
How could she forget about him?
“You said that he will come and find us in 3 days,” Daran said. “Let us be patient for now. And see what kind of information he might bring us.”
Janet nodded.
She was really looking forward to talking to Kass.
And she also got a feeling that these 3 days wouldn’t be very peaceful for them. Lance wouldn’t give up on whatever he was working on.
And neither would Harper.
That vindictive woman would definitalu
