Chapter 302 The Lycan Bloodline
Ethan''s POV:
Sylvia''s performance left me speechless. Even though I had secretly hoped that Sylvia would win, I
never would''ve imagined that she''d actually do and even win by andslide.
No matter how much talent one had, one couldn''t possibly make such vast progress in so short a
time. And if my eyes didn''t deceive me, the power she just used was definitely not that of an
ordinary werewolf, but a lycan!
My heart sank to my stomach. It was clear that Sylvia was by no means just the daughter of an
ordinary Beta.
Just then, Toby''s father, George, started to protest vehemently.
"Foul! How can this be allowed? That damned ve nearly killed my son!"
"The judges already dered that no rule was broken. Your son could''ve admitted defeat sooner.
But he didn''t, so he had no choice but to keep on fighting." Martin cast George a cold nce.
George''s skinny body trembled like a leaf with rage. He red at Martin murderously but decided to
change tactics. "Still, a ve has no right to do such a thing to my son! She needs to be severely
punished!"
Martin sneered, "When your son beat that girl earlier, didn''t you say that we should abide by the
rules? Yet now that your son was beaten badly, you''re going back on your word! Shame on you."
"Plus, Toby didn''t show mercy just now." It was rare for Owen to agree with Martin. He had been
silent this whole time, analyzing the situation very seriously. "Toby just beat someone else, and now
he''s been beaten up. It''s only fair."
"Why, you—!" Consumed with rage, George found himself at a loss for words. Or perhaps it was
because he knew he was in the wrong.
To ease his embarrassment, I decided to say a word or two. "Well, injuries are inevitable in this sort
ofpetition. Everyone, please calm down. They still need to go through the forbidden forest."
Only then did George stop protesting. With a sullen expression on his face, he sat back down,
sulking.
Martin chuckled to himself gloatingly. He even went so far as to pat Owen on the shoulder as
though they were good friends, but Owen shrugged him off stoically.
Both amused and annoyed, I simply looked away. Now it was time to announce the result of the
competition and allow the students some time to rest. After an hour, they were to enter the
forbidden forest.
While everyone else was taking a break, I summoned Leonard to have a private talk with me in the
meeting room.
When he entered the room, I found that he seemed much older than thest time I saw him.
His wasn''t as robust as he once was. On his way to his seat, he kept coughing violently. I almost
worried that he would suffocate to death.
"Were you not able to rest well?" I asked as I poured him a cup of hot tea.
Leonard sighed. "I''m getting old."

"Seriously? What does that make of me then?" I smiled at him with amusement. "You need to take
better care of yourself, old friend. You''re only in your forties and you don''t even have grandchildren
yet!"
Leonard smiled but said nothing. His eyes revealedplicated emotions stirring up within him,
which made me frown slightly.
But I shrugged it off and brought up the subject of Sylvia. "Did you see what just happened out
there?"
Leonard immediately grew serious. "It was clear that the power that Sylvia used was pure lycan
strength."
Both Leonard and I had lycan blood, so we could tell another lycan when we saw one.
"Lycan blood is rare. How could a ve have it running through her veins?" Leonard frowned and
surveyed me carefully. "Could she be your illegitimate daughter?"
"How on earth could that be possible?" I snorted.
Because I was cursed, I couldn''t have any more children after my two sons. Sylvia was younger
than Rufus and Richard. So she obviously couldn''t be my daughter.
And thank God for that, lest the queen assume wrongly and make a scene again.
"Then how? If she''s not yours, where could Sylvia have inherited a lycan bloodline?" Leonard
frowned, deep in thought.
"And what about you? Did you have an affair?" I teased him half-jokingly.
