Rufus' POV:
I spent the whole day inquiring about the missing werewolves with Geoffrey.
The people in charge and the councilors were all called for interrogation. But their answers were the same as Geoffrey's. They all claimed it to be a normal migrating issue.
I skimmed across the documents they had submitted. Everything looked similar. It seemed obvious they had colluded in private.
I scratched my head because the situation seemed tricky. Dealing with a few bad guys would have been easy. But the whole pack?
Attacking them by force was an easy task. The problem, however, was that the truth would be completely buried in ruins after their collusion collapsed.
Generally speaking, those in high positions wouldn't mind risking everything. Once their interests were threatened, they would do anything to protect themselves and what they had, and it would cause a series of chain reactions.
Therefore, I decided to deal with the issue one step at a time in order to find out the truth. Being composed at this time was cardinal, so I maintained my cool the entire time.
The councilor beside me was still talking about strengthening the pack so that more werewolves would come to settle here.
"Enough!" I was tired of hearing the same thing over and over again. "You can leave now."
The councilor glanced at Geoffrey and nodded. "Yes."
Geoffrey smiled and sat opposite me. "You've been investigating all day. I think you should get some rest. I've asked my men to prepare a banquet in the front hall. Please go and enjoy it."
I threw the document on the desk and snorted with disdain. I knew I wouldn't be able to find anything if I went on investigating this way. Geoffrey was an old fox. He had arranged everything well and I couldn't find anything unusual.
