The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 439 The Cunning Boy

Sylvia's POV:

"No idea." Felix's tone was a little unnatural. He turned his face away from me deliberately. "Somebody else must've carved it. After all, anyone can come here."

Harry sneered and slapped Felix on the shoulder lightly. "You're a really bad liar, did you know that?"

I pursed my lips and shook my head helplessly. After all, Felix was still just a child. He wore his emotions on his sleeve.

Obviously, Felix knew whoever this Alva person was.

But it was clear that he didn't want to tell us.

Felix shook off Harry's hand unhappily. He looked at the old clock on the table. It showed that it was already past midnight.

"Wait for me here. There's something I need to show you," Felix said suddenly.

We didn't think too much. We just asked him to come back as soon as possible. A few minutes later, something felt off.

"Could he have made a run for it? What's taking him so long?" Harry asked.

I frowned. On second thought, I remembered that there was indeed something wrong with Felix's expression. But we weren't familiar with culture on the other side of the wall, so we didn't think too much. "Let's look for him." Flora rolled up her sleeves, looking a little peeved. "Damn it! How dare he trick us?"

But it was too late to chase after him now. Felix had disappeared.

Just as we were about to head in the direction where Felix left, a strange loud noise came from the depths of the sewer, like the sound of pouring water.

Damn it! The sewer wasn't abandoned at all!

"Run! They're draining the sewer!" I shouted.

Warren reacted quickly and grabbed Flora's hand, running out with her in tow.

I followed Harry and John closely, preparing to guard the rear of the team.

But it was too late. After making it out of the mouth of the sewer, the violent current of water came at us like a fierce beast.

We were separated in the blink of an eye.

I immediately transformed into a wolf and grabbed the rim of the sewer pipe so that I wouldn't be washed away by the current.

The others had disappeared from my sight. I called their names a few times, but there was no response. They were probably swept away.

I didn't know if there was any other exit. I needed to escape first before trying to find them.

I turned back to human form and opened the vent lid.

As soon as I poked my head out, I saw Felix climbing out of another exit.

I immediately climbed out of the vent and grabbed him by the collar. "Stop!"

I was a little angry because I had really wanted to help him. But he didn't appreciate my kindness at all. He even lied to us, claiming that it was an abandoned sewer! Felix struggled to get rid of my grasp.

His face was covered in black mud, and his eyes were particularly bright and innocent-looking. His thin body looked weak and frail. But his real power lay in his mouth.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable," he spat angrily. "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Don't come out tomorrow. Just stay within the walls and go through the motions. Go back to the imperial capital with your friends when it's time. You don't need to be hypocritical. This isn't a place you insignificant soldiers can handle."

Then he finally broke free from my grip and ran off.

I didn't want to chase after him, nor did I want to ask more questions. Now I only cared about the safety of my companions.
