The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 615

Sylvia's POV:

I felt very indignant. Although I already knew that Richard would be released sooner or later, I didn't expect that he'd be released this soon.

And he didn't even look that affected—in fact, it looked like he had a great time in prison.

Rufus, noticing my annoyance, squeezed my hand to comfort me subtly.

And then, without batting an eyelash, he reported the situation of the mission to Ethan.

Ethan seemed to be in a good mood. He had a big, bright smile on his face and he even praised everyone who participated in the fight against the vampires.

Everyone was in high spirits.

That was, until Ethan brought up Richard's name.

Harry, who had been chatting with Flora happily, immediately fell silent and rolled his eyes at Richard before turning his gaze to me.

Flora had to hide her face behind Warren's back before she made a face at me, expressing her disgust towards Richard.

Ethan continued, "While you all were gone, so as to offset his previous mistakes, Richard put forward some constructive suggestions regarding the development of the military school and participated in the reform. He will be involved in political affairs again from now on."

I felt sick to my stomach. The bad guy was only punished with a slap on the wrist. The soldiers Richard killed didn't get the justice they deserved.

While it was true that the objection against Richard had indeed subsided a little, that didn't give him the right to join society again. The citizens might forget the crimes Richard had committed, but that didn't change the fact that the dead couldn't come back to life.

Why else did we have laws and regulations if criminals could just roam around free?

What would the world become if everyone could just surpass morality and violate rules as they pleased?
