The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 544 The Wall's Collapse

Rufus' POV:

Everyone fell silent, surprised by my words.

I pursed my lips and continued, "But because this wall was built by the ancestors of all the citizens here, I hope I can get your permission first."

Nobody dared speak. They all looked at me warily.

The sudden riot just now stained their faces with blood.

Even the well-dressed werewolves from inside the wall were not as clean as they were at the beginning. They stood among the werewolves outside the wall awkwardly, their clothes also stained with blood.

It was Geoffrey who had given them the opportunity to don such gorgeous clothes. He had created a sweet dream for them.

But no matter how wonderful their lives were, they had to wake up one day.

Today, I was determined to burst the aloof bubbles in their hearts.

And this wall was the beginning-and also the end of everything.

"Will the vampires come to take revenge?" It was a boy who spoke. He was in rags, standing barefoot. Despite his dirty face, his eyes shone brightly with hope and humility.

"I also want to destroy the wall, but I'm really scared. I don't want to see anyone else die..." The boy couldn't help but sob. "Everyone in my family were killed by vampires. I'm the only one left. I'm really scared..."

His crying pained my heart.

It was a kind of desperate sadness from someone who had been through immense suffering.

I took a deep breath and bowed to the crowd.

Everyone was startled and quickly bowed lower, not daring to accept my humble salute.

"Consider this the royal family's apology to you. I'm sorry that we didn't protect you in the first place and left you alone to face the vampires. I know this wall has protected you from the vampires, but from now on, the royal family will protect you. Please trust us one more time." I squeezed my eyes shut and spoke from the bottom of my heart.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that everyone had raised their heads and looked at each other uncertainly, as if they couldn't believe what they had heard.

"I know you don't trust the royal family anymore, but I'll try to make it up to you. I will dispatch troops to stay here at all times to protect you. I swear on my life that this place will never been given up again. I'm not asking for your forgiveness. I only hope to prove what I said today with my future actions." My eyes swept across the crowd calmly. "From now on, you will only live in peace. There will be no more unnecessary killing from now on."

The atmosphere grew heavy, and people broke into sobs.

Just then, an old man with a staff hobbled forward and said, "Tear it down! This wall has brought too much suffering. That terrible era is now over. Look at the werewolves from outside the wall. They're not slaves of vampires. They are our compatriots."

The old man's words struck a chord with the people. Everyone burst into tears and hugged each other without scruples.

"Yes! Tear it down! This wall of sin should never have existed!" It was a male wolf in a suit who spoke. He rushed to the wall with his fists clenched and shouted, "Tear it down! We all deserve freedom!" Everyone cheered and rushed to the wall behind him.

The dawn of victory was finally here.

In that moment, the walls in their hearts also collapsed.

The era of Geoffrey's autocratic rule was over.

Things moved smoothly. I didn't delay and immediately sent a contractor to carry out the demolition of the wall.

The public didn't want to leave. They stood at a safe distance and watched as the huge wall, which had witnessed many tragic stories, finally collapsed with a loud bang.
