I turned into a wolf and stood by the bed, gazing down at the little boy. My feelings for him were growing stronger.
I really wanted to cradle his neck.
Retracting my sharp claws, I gently placed my paw on the boy’s little face. Intense affection surged within my heart. I was so ecstatic at that moment that I wanted to run, scream, and protect him at the same time.
“Okay, turn back into our human form. We need to leave now. Let’s go and find Crystal,” Omar said with satisfaction.
My mind was still muddled when I returned to my human form.
Omar sighed. “Don’t dwell on it now. We can’t stay here for too long. The clowns have installed a signal blocker at this place. To get in touch with the army, we have to leave here first. The clowns are highly cautious. I’m afraid they will notice something amiss.”
Returning to my senses, I said, “Okay, let’s take the child with us then. ” My instinct told me that this child must have some relation to me.
Whether he was Arron or not, I had to take him with me. Picking him up, I made my way to the door. As soon as I pulled it open, I was faced with a group of clowns blocking my exit, holding weapons.
More people than before were present here now.
Perhaps Lee had discovered something and sent reinforcements.
Rufus’ POV
Clowns wearing masks of different colors surrounded me. The one in the pink mask walked forward from the back of the crowd and said, “Lee was right. This child is your goal.”
“Yes, so what? What can you possibly do to me?” I tightened my hold on the child in my arms and estimated how long it would lake for me to deal with this group. I didn’t want to waste my time on these lame ducks. My priority was to find Crystal as soon as possible.
The pink-masked clown was humiliated and replied in an evil voice, “Well, you won’t be able to escape this place today. We took advantage of your carelessness just now to gather all our people here to catch you. I don’t think you can get through all of us alone!”
My lips curled up in disdain and I didn’t try to disguise my voice. “I’m actually quite flattered that you’ve sent so many people just to catch me.”
The pink-masked clown raised her chin and arrogantly said, “Lee warned us to take you seriously. And he is always right. Today, we’re going to pull in all our efforts to capture you. Then we will cut off your legs. You can accompany the small kid you’re holding. Or you can just surrender, and maybe you will be allowed to keep your limbs.”
This group of savages seemed to know nothing besides cutting off other people’s limbs. We used a variety of torture techniques in the imperial palace while interrogating prisoners.
The clowns couldn’t scare me.
Taking one step back, I asked, “Where is Crystal?”
“Do you mean this boy’s mother?” The pink- masked clown glanced at the sleeping boy in my arms and said, “Although I didn’t witness her death, the she-wolves who encounter Lee usually meet a bad end.”
Then she swept her eyes over me and asked, “Are you three a family? That’s interesting. We have never featured a family performance before.”
The red-masked clown became excited when he heard this. “That’s a brilliant idea. Maybe we will be able to garner more sympathy from the audience.”
“Nonsense!” I was enraged. Knowing that Crystal had been captured, I lost control of myself.
Without exchanging any more nonsensical words with the clowns in front of me, I directly released a burst of Lycan power and charged into the group to fight them.
Although many clowns were present, most of their moves were erratic and they obviously hadn’t received any formal training. I snatched a machete from one of them and began fighting my way out.
Soon enough, I had reached the yard. Blood was spattered all over the ground. My coat was also stained with blood. Fortunately, the little boy in my arms remained unaffected.
Judging from the attitude of the pink-masked clown, she must have fought with Crystal. It seemed that the boy I was holding right now was likely Arron.
The mixed emotions within me were getting increasingly out of control. They brought out my sinister side and I became a killing machine. More and more clowns rushed in from outside. I knocked them down one after another. I wanted to end this battle as soon as possible and locate Crystal, so the intensity of my attacks became fiercer.
The clowns couldn’t hurt me, yet they still tried to surround me.
Although I was the superior fighter right now, I wouldn’t be able to maintain this momentum for long. I would have to break through this blockade in the shortest time.
Sweat drenched my back. My killing instinct made me more violent, making me want to annihilate them all.
Just then, someone from the group shouted, “Everyone, aim your attacks on the child in his arms!”
Rufus’ POV
As soon as the clown gave this instruction, all the attacks were focused on the boy in my arms.
I couldn’t dodge them in time, so I had to block them with my body. I sustained a deep gash on my arm.
I didn’t have time to tend to the wound and continued to swing the machete around.
While most of the clowns had fallen to the ground, a dozen more people still blocked the exit.
At this time, the clown wearing the pink mask suddenly moved forward and knocked my mask away, but she seemed shell-shocked when she caught sight of my face.
I seized this opportunity and quickly rushed to the wall I leaped up on the piled containers and climbed over the wall in one jump. “Hurry up! Chase him! Damn it! What the hell is Sally doing? He is running away, but she’s just standing here like a statue. Luckily, we have quicker reactions!”
The angry voices of the clowns came from behind me, followed by the sound of a car engine.
I found the right direction to escape, turned into a wolf, and used my Lycan power. I sprinted at full speed, holding the boy in my mouth. I soon left all the clowns far behind. At this moment, the boy I was holding in my mouth woke up and screamed. “Who are you? Put me down!”
I immediately released him. The little boy rubbed his eyes and looked up. He stared at me in disbelief. “What a big wolf!”
I tilted my head to one side and studied the boy, who wasn’t even as tall as my legs. His eye color was the same as mine, and we even had the same small dimples at the comers of our mouths.
“Such a coincidence couldn’t exist in the world. Are you a bad man?” the boy asked meekly. I raised one paw and gently placed it on his shoulder in a comforting gesture.
But this frightened him more. He curled his fingers into fists and didn’t dare to move a muscle.
I debated about turning back into my human form, but he spun around and darted away before I could decide.
I caught him before he could make it too far. The little boy was terrified and he began weeping, and his eyes turned red.
I felt sorry for him and didn’t want to frighten him. I turned back into my human form and soothingly said, “Don’t cry. I’m not a bad person. I have beat back those clowns. We are safe now.”
For a moment, the little boy was stunned and he gulped hard. He stopped crying, his face a mask of surprise. “It’s you!”
