The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 1026

Crystal's POV:

I was so angry that it nearly brought me to tears. Rufus had really gone too far! Why did I use to think that Rufus, who had now become the lycan king, was only a little difficult to deal with, but nothing else? But he even used such a devious method to frame me!

Was the arsenal that easy to fill? Didn't that cost a lot of money? If I really wanted to betray the empire, why would I pay extra tax every year?

"You can explain." As he sat back and gazed at me leisurely, Rufus seemed quite at ease. Meanwhile, I felt like a complete fool.

"You don't have any evidence to prove that I did it," I said fiercely.

Rufus merely shrugged his shoulders and said, "There is indeed no evidence, so you have to stay in the capital city to cooperate with the investigation. You know... in case you escape from the punishment."

"You creep!" My cheeks were flushed and my eyes stung with rage. I clenched my fists tightly and held the urge to rush to where he was and beat him. I convinced myself that if I acted first, it would be considered a rebellion and there would be no need for an investigation to vindicate me.

Damn it! I was so angry! I wanted to blow up this place and take him to hell with me.

"I'm just doing my job. If you actively cooperate with the investigation and prove that you are innocent, I will let you go," Rufus said nonchalantly. What a scoundrel he was!

I took a deep breath and sneered, "What if I insist on leaving? What would you do to me? I can go wherever I want to!"

I shouted the last sentence as I was on the verge of losing control. Then I stormed out of that place with evident rage.

At this point, Rufus got to his feet and strode over to grab my arm. With a cold face, he asked, "Where do you think you're going?"

My temper was already flaring and now that he grabbed my arm and stopped me, I was even more furious.
