Chapter 162: A Trap
"You bastard, just what do you think—"
As Finn and Levi took a step forward, Killian raised his hand and stopped the two men from attacking Noah. Though he would have loved punching the man in the face himself, Killian wasn’t foolish enough to make a mistake so naive. He then turned to stare at Noah, whose face was contorted with fury, and remarked casually, "Your anger, while understandable, is not correct. Are you going to continue with this foolish goal of rounding up all the lycans and killing them because a single lycan brought you grief?"
"You are all the same!" Noah roared. While looking at Killian, he was looking at a face that he despised and loathed. His anger was bursting within his heart like soft poison, causing his heart to throb with pain.
Killian arched his brow. He calmly detached the hand that was holding the collar of his jacket and mused, "I don’t know whether all the lycans are the same or not. When even the fingerprints of both hands are different for each." With his expression blank, he continued, "And killing without evidence for crimes or for crimes that can’t even be considered as crimes, is nothing but a massacre. What you did today was no different from killing a pair of innocents."
"Which makes you no different from the man who took everything away from you. He took your world away, and you ruined someone else’s. I hope you always keep that right here," he added with a pat to Noah’s chest where his heart lay.
Killian then walked away without waiting for Noah to say anything. Finn followed him, and so did Levi, but not before bumping into the shoulders of the man.
"It was a close call," remarked Finn as he stepped out of the conference room with Killian. "If Levi hadn’t been paying attention to Norman’s trails, then we could have been pushed in a corner."
Ever since the poisoning of Selene, they had been keeping an eye on the elders to find out the culprit of that incident. However, till now they had yet to find the puppeteer who had bribed the lycan and almost killed Selene.
Though they didn’t find the culprit, their actions still came to fruition somehow.
