The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 527 The Child Who Led The Escape

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.

"Wait a minute. There's a child here I cannot allow to leave." Turning to the children, I frowned. "Which one of you is Alva?"

The soldiers took a look at each child they were holding, trying to find the one called Alva.

A few moments later, one of the soldiers finally came forward with a little girl who appeared to be blind.

Immediately, a boy came rushing out and took Alva in his arms protectively. He shot me a brave, but angry look. "What do you want with her?"

I was able to recognize that this was the boy who was hiding behind others. He must be Felix.

"Oh, what do I want, you ask?" I pointed at the little girl named Alva. "This girl was the leader and reason that these children were able to escape. What do you think I should do about that? The only right thing to do now would be to kill her. Just to warn everyone else not to do it again."
