Chapter 116: Werewolf Hunters
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“We initially suspected the werewolf hunters. They have always been a headache for the royal Lycan family. Anyone can hire them to kill or do illegal things. Their mercenaries are well-trained and won’t leave any obvious traces on the scene. So they are fully capable of attacking these targets.”
Werewolf hunters was a gray organization between the black and white.
On the one hand, they pride themselves on justice, not killing the elderly, the weak, women, and children, and punishing the werewolves who commit crimes. On the other hand, they charged a commission to assassinate the people demanded by their employers. They did not follow the secular rules but had a set of rules of conduct.
“We found a unique mark of the werewolf hunter organization at the scene and questioned them, but they claimed they were framed.”
Michael touched his face tiredly and said, “The royal Lycans have always wanted to eliminate the werewolf hunter organization because they are different from the werewolf court. The werewolf court is completely outside the justice jurisdiction, and a werewolf hunter is essentially a businessman.
“But their organization is too scattered. We secretly made a few moves but couldn’t make any substantial progress. For stability, we don’t want to declare war on them directly, but what has happened now has already challenged the bottom line of the royal Lycan family.”
I didn’t know how I could help Michael. He must be exhausted by this these days. But, on the other hand, I was still causing trouble for him, creating more trouble. I was not a qualified mate. I was too selfish. Everything I did, I only thought about myself.
Michael was trying to save more innocent people.
I did not know about the war, but I also knew that the war would only bring disaster. No matter which side won, the blood of countless innocent people would pave the road. But if those front-line soldiers did not sacrifice, according to Michael’s words, more she-wolves would be killed.
No matter how developed society was, women and children would always be at a disadvantage in terms of pure strength. Although the elderly were also weak, harming women and children was more harmful to a pack than the elderly. Women and children would also become the targets of the other party.
Although I didn’t know much about werewolf hunters, I knew that they were an organization that specialized in hunting werewolves.
“How did the werewolf hunter organization develop to this state?”
Michael explained, “When the werewolf hunter organization first started, it was a group of righteous werewolves who couldn’t stand the fact that werewolves used their strength to bully ordinary humans.
......
“They established their code of conduct. They agreed that they would never harm innocent werewolves but punish those who hurt humans for no reason. Their goal was to protect humans from werewolves. It was also because of this that the royal Lycan family didn’t interfere with their development in the beginning.”
“Then they evolved,” I said slowly.
“That’s right.” Michael nodded and said, “We have no conclusive evidence, but many facts have shown that they didn’t just kill the guilty werewolves. They have long gone beyond their original code of conduct.”
If the werewolf hunter organization had become an accomplice to the killers from the side of justice, then who was the person who hired them behind the scenes, and who would attack innocent she-wolves?
A weak guess appeared in my heart.
Sales.
Since werewolf hunters could betray their principles for profit, naturally, there would be people who would challenge humanity’s bottom line for more profit.
She-wolves weren’t as strong as make werewolves, but they had the reproductive abilities that male werewolves couldn’t possibly have. Or, even more despicable, people would use them as a tool of male desires.
This thought made me feel nauseous. I hugged Michael’s waist, trying to gain a sense of security from it.
“Are she-wolves being sold?” I asked this question in a low voice. I was a little afraid of hearing his answer.
But I saw Michael nod and say heavily, “This is the most likely one out of all our speculations.”
I felt my stomach churn uncomfortably.
Those who conducted such a transaction didn’t deserve to be called humans; they were just beasts in human form.
They completely ignored the dignity of a she-wolf as an individual who could think independently but viewed them as a tool for trading and making money. This was a violation of human nature and dignity; this was a blatant crime.
Who was behind such a terrible thing?
The Lycan King sent Michael, the Lycan Prince, to personally investigate this, which showed how serious he was about this.
With his identity, Michael must have enough people around him to want to investigate anything that will certainly not be stopped by anyone.
But Michael had investigated for so long and still had no answer. So there must be a whole dark chain of interests behind it.
