Chapter 139: Chapter 139
Finley and Louie's eyes widened in shock. Unfortunately, their distance was meters from Hudson, and before they’d arrived in the two’s vicinity, Conan would have stabbed Hudson. “Hudson!” They both yelled to snap Hudson out of his sudden reverie.
At the call of Finley and Louie, Hudson snaps out of the reverie. Upon seeing Conan’s knife, his expression changed immediately.
Quickly, Hudson tried to twist his body to prevent the knife from stabbing into his vital area. Luckily, by the time the knife makes contact with Hudson, it can only stab Hudson’s waist instead of the vital area Conan planned.
By this time, Finley and Louie had already arrived at Hudson’s side. They quickly held him up to support him. “Hudson…”
Hudson waved his hand indifferently, and his lips unconsciously lit up in joy. “I’m fine, buddies. I’m fine.” He retorted and evaded their help before standing up on his own, regardless of the stab.
Suddenly, Hudson’s eyes twinkled with determination. His wife is alive, and his son has been born. Natalie and Phoebe also had a higher chance of giving birth successfully.
Hudson knew they were the only ones who could support their family and make them live happily… Regardless of what might happen, he, Finley, and Louie had to live.
He can’t let their children live in seclusion while bearing so much weight at such a young age.
With so much determination, he lunged at Conan, ignoring his pain. His strikes became so fierce that in a few minutes, Conan was already coughing out blood, and his whole figure was already bloodied.
Conan’s expression was immediately filled with indignation. Seeing how miserable Hudson was, Finley and Louie beat him up, stabbed his ego, and made him infuriated. His expression turned fierce, and he glared at them. “You all pushed me. Now, you can only die…” Immediately, he directed his palm to face them while he began to chant something. His expression was very dark, and a tornado began to appear around him, making all of their expressions turn grim.
Seeing the power Conan was controlling, they all knew that if they didn’t die at the end of it, they'd be so seriously injured that they'd become useless.
Conan’s expression became darker, and the power he was controlling became fiercer. After it became so much more than he could bear, a wicked grin appeared on his face, and he directed the power towards...
“Stop!” A sudden feminine yell sounded before Conan could direct the force at the three. Immediately, a girl aged six or seven appeared in between Conan and the three.
Conan’s expression turned grim, and he immediately directed the power at a tree behind him. Immediately, the tree was uprooted and burned dry within seconds.
Hudson, Finley, and Louie exchanged glances before swallowing nervously. Thankfully, that little girl had appeared or else that'd have been their fate.
Conan’s expression turned grim, and he stared at the girl unhappily. “Lorelei. What are you doing here? Return to…”
Lorelei shook her head seriously and wrapped her hand around Conan’s leg. “No. Dad. You can’t kill him.” She vehemently argued, making him surprised.
“Huh?” Conan stared at Lorelei in bewilderment, wondering what was happening with his daughter. She never crossed his orders before.
Lorelei immediately let go of her father, and she turned towards Hudson seriously. “Sir, has your wife just given birth? I can smell your son’s presence, and I liked it a lot. Can I marry him? As long as you agree, I can beg my dad to stop attacking the pack. I can see that your pack’s casualties are already severe. Moreover, you all don’t seem like you can hang on much longer." She spoke in a breath.
Hudson, Finley, and Louie exchanged glances filled with bewilderment, wondering what was happening. They were at risk of losing their lives, but this girl suddenly stopped everything and now asked for an absurd request. Who wouldn’t be surprised by what was going on? Is this the witch’s plan? “Huh?”
Conan’s expression changed upon hearing his daughter speak nonsense. Immediately, he grabbed her by the hand and pulled her to him. He had always been planning to make this cocky pack go extinct; how can his daughter want to ruin everything for him?
Moreover, the more Conan works hard, the more his father will notice him, and the more firm his position as the next king of the witch tribe will be. “Lorelei, what are you doing?” He demanded it coldly.
Lorelei folded her arms and stared at Conan, unwilling to back down. It was obvious that she had been pardoned and spoiled by Conan. "Dad, I like the baby. I want him.” She retorted fiercely
Conan massaged his forehead, feeling a headache creeping in. Immediately, he pulled Lorelei to the side and began to whisper with her while Hudson, Finley, and Louie exchanged glances in bewilderment.
After a few minutes, Conan returned with a grim expression, while Lorelei had a pleased expression on her face.
Conan glared at the three in infuriation. “Never in my life did I think my daughter would cross me for you. Don’t think it’s over. Some years, Lorelei will be back to her senses, and your power axis pack will come to ruin in my hand.” He declared with a scoff.
Immediately, Conan grabbed Lorelei’s hand. “Let’s leave…”
Lorelei immediately shrugged off Conan’s hand and began to look around. “Dad, this place looks cool. I’m not leaving.” She rejected vehemently.
Conan gnashed his teeth together. Not only did Lorelei suddenly stop his plans to get rid of the power axis pack, but now she’s telling him she wants to stay in the pack. “Lorelei…”
“Once I return to the witch clan, they’ll all want to kill me. For how long will I follow you around to ensure my safety? I’m not leaving.” She interjected fiercely.
Conan gritted his teeth upon seeing his daughter’s stance. Yet he knew his daughter was right with her argument, making him hesitate. He could only call her name helplessly. “Lorelei…”
Immediately, Lorelei pouted her lips and batted her eyes at Conan cutely to weaken his stance, and Conan fell for it.
Conan harrumphed coldly. His fierce eyes landed on Hudson, and he expressed coldly. “If anything happens to her, I promise to rip you apart.”
……….
Filippa’s POV
My lips parted in shock. I couldn’t believe that the power axis pack had so much history. This was an unexpected twist. However, thinking about everything Wyatt had just told me, I was able to understand one thing. “Does that mean Lorelei saved the power axis pack?” No wonder they were willing to close their eyes to all Lorelei has done.
Wyatt nodded his head and seriously responded. “En.”
“Oh!” I could only respond with a word while wondering if I would also have to close an eye and pretend that all of it had never happened…
“It’s not simple like that. I think what attracted her was the power we exude from birth.” Wyatt calmly interjected, as if knowing what I was thinking.
My brows furrowed, and I tilted my head. So does that mean Lorelei didn’t have any intention to save the pack; rather, she wanted to use them for her own benefit? Thinking about it, I knew there was only one thing that could attract Lorelei. “Your lycan blood?”
“Yes.” Wyatt nodded
I gnashed my teeth together in fury upon hearing Wyatt’s response. “Damn. Doesn’t that mean it’s the witch’s scheme?”
“It might or be Lorelei’s entire scheme.” Wyatt calmly responded; his hand reached out to stroke my forehead as if to calm my fury.
