A muffled laugh escaped my lips. I eyed them like they were garbage. “I had warned you, but you didn’t listen.”
Suddenly, someone yelled, “Alpha Geoffrey is an evil man. Think about our dead relatives and these innocent children. It’s time to end his ridiculous rule.”
“Overthrow Alpha Geoffrey! Tear down the wall!”
A fierce battle between the two sides broke out. The werewolves outside the wall surged towards the gate, nothing stopping them in their tracks.
I hurriedly stepped back and furiously shouted, “I’ve informed you all that whoever dares pass through this gate will be killed ruthlessly. Do you all want to die?”
“If we don’t die today, it’s only a matter of time before the vampires kill us!” The werewolves outside the wall used their bodies as a shield to resist the cold hard blades.
Rivers of blood began flowing at the city gate.
Lunatics! These werewolves were all lunatics!
But the more they displayed this reckless behavior, the more excited I got. I stretched my neck. It had been a long time since I had killed someone. Today might just turn out to be a good day.
As this thrill electrified me, Warren issued an order, and Rufus’ private army, who had all been hiding in the dark, joined in to help the masses.
Damn it! How could they still have so many soldiers left to mobilize?
It looked like Rufus had already expected this uprising, so he had left these soldiers to aid the werewolves.
Realizing that the situation was not in my favor anymore, I ordered my men to bring more soldiers to the frontline.
Soon, I subdued the revolt with the advantage of superior numbers.
All the children were crying besides their families.
“Geoffrey! You will meet a horrible death!” Flora had been pinned to the ground by the soldiers. She was unable to move an inch, but she still sounded fierce.
“No, I won’t. Actually, I will live a good life. You should be more worried about how you will survive today and return to the imperial capital city safely.” I shot her a grin and didn’t take her curses seriously.
Many people had a reason to wish me dead in this world. As long as I could win, I didn’t mind the verbal abuses.
“Shame on you! Your ambition will bring about your death one day!” Flora shrieked, looking very indignant.
“I guess you will just have to wait till that day arrives.”
After saying that, I ignored her and turned to look at the lowlifes outside the wall.
“I can be forgiving enough to spare your crimes today. Your children can return to the orphanage. Everything will go back to how it was,” I said in a magnanimous voice.
The werewolves outside the wall lowered their heads and dared not make a sound. They knew that if anyone spoke, the soldiers next to them would raise their weapons and end their lives.
“Anyone who doesn’t accept this situation can step forward. Worst-case scenario, we will kill you where you stand.” I gave them a look filled with pity, and they stared at the ground.
“Since all the rebellion has drained out of you all, go back obediently,” I said mercifully.
Geoffrey’s POV
In the glaring face of power and force, these werewolves from outside the wall had no choice but to give in, no matter how reluctant they were.
They decided to let go of their children’s hands. On their faces, I could see the complexity and humility of human nature expressed so clearly.
I was ecstatic to see this movement.
It did feel good to have the power to decide on the lives of others.
Through this, I was also more certain now that I had chosen the right path.
“Take the kids back,” I ordered my men to start taking the children away.
As expected, none of the children wanted to cooperate. They cried out loud and didn’t want to let go of their parents. For a moment, I thought the cries would never end.
Some children, the older ones, didn’t cry as much, but they were definitely more difficult to drag away than the smaller ones.
At this age, they probably developed their own views of the world and knew right from wrong. Perhaps for some of them, today was the day they would understand that the beautiful world they were living in was just something I made up. After realizing that, these obedient children eventually turned aggressive.
“I don’t want to go back. I would rather suffer outside the wall than live without my parents.”
A little boy, about eight or nine years old, spoke up. He was trying to negotiate with the soldiers.
One of the younger ones shouted, “I don’t want the food and toys anymore. I just want to be with my parents!”
Hearing their children cry, the parents also began to cry. I heard a few parents try to convince their children to stay inside the wall, where life was happier and safer.
But the children refused to listen. Instead, they held on tighter to their parents.
“Look at what you’ve done,” Flora glared at me. “Are you satisfied, Geoffrey?”
“Don’t bother talking to him. There’s no conscience left in that man,” Warren warned Flora. Somehow, he was able to break free from the soldiers and was helping Flora up.
Rolling my eyes, I didn’t take them seriously anymore. All I wanted now was to drag these children back to the orphanage as soon as possible.
I scolded the soldiers, “Hurry up! If they stay here any longer, they’ll all be sent outside the wall!”
The parents heard this and panicked for their children, not wanting them to stay here a minute more.
They pushed and urged their children to go with the soldiers.
This caused the children to cry even louder and struggled harder. But in the end, the soldiers were able to take them all away.
A subordinate of mine then came forward and leaned in my ear.
When I heard what he said, my face darkened.
