Chapter 526-The Missing Bastard

"Yeah, she has double-colored eyes and fur," I giggled like a teenager—which I was, but I’d forgotten about it.
"Tell her—tell her about the battle," Lamar pointed at Salem and then at Jenny, asking me to share the news.
"Oh, I’ve challenged Darius to a battle for his crown, and before you guys worry, I’m ready for it," I spoke up quickly, trying to stop any concerns before they came.
They looked concerned, but then they all wished me good luck and said they’d love to be there when I train—which I was doing every day with the brothers.
"Guys, did you see Kaidon’s live a few hours ago?" Gavin asked.
"Yeah, it was traumatic to listen to, but it probably explained a lot to the council," Penn spoke up, feeling guilty and trying to talk more with Gavin and Salem after wrongly accusing Salem under pressure.
"I heard Kaidon is trying to stay safe and away from the culprits—even though he’s one of them too, but still—" Jenny explained. That’s when Lucy walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower.
She looked at all of us sitting together on the floor and sighed.
"Why did you lie and say I had something to do with the muffin?" Salem asked her, not letting the lie slide.
"I didn’t. I asked them to ask you—I didn’t blame you. Maybe it’s in *their* hearts that they don’t trust you," she shrugged, making all of us clench our jaws.
