Chapter 550 The Truth
Sylvia''s POV:
Rufus and I were shocked when Leonard approached us. We hurried to help him.
"Why are you here?" I asked, frowning. I couldn''t help but sound a little harsh, because I was
worried about him.
That day, as soon as the dust settled and the crowd dispersed, Leonard couldn''t hold on any longer
and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Startled and worried, we sent Leonard to the hospital as quickly as possible.
It wasn''t untilter that we found out how serious his condition was. His internal injuries were too
many to count. He was intact and strong on the surface but riddled with holes and empty inside. He
refused to tell his conditions because he didn''t want to be pitied.
Fortunately, Leonard looked a lot better today than that time after the riot.
Leonard pushed us away and refused our help with a bright smile. "I''m fine. Stop worrying about
me."
I looked at him warily, guilt and sorrow filling my heart.
If I hadn''t asked Leonard for help, he wouldn''t have had a rpse.
Leonard seemed to have guessed what I was thinking and looked at me disapprovingly. With his
hands behind his back, he clicked his tongue and snorted arrogantly. "Don''t feel guilty. I don''t like it
when others feel guilty for me. I was happy when you asked me for help in that critical moment.
Besides, I feel like I''ve regained my strength, leading the army into battle."
After saying that, he threw his head back and burst intoughter. It seemed that his good mood
wasn''t affected by his injuries at all.
Hisughter was infectious. I couldn''t help but smile.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Leonard went back to the subject he had brought up when he
first entered the room.
"You two misunderstand Ethan. If that old bloke heard what you were saying about him, he''d have
exploded in anger!"
Rufus and I exchanged guilty nces and lowered our heads without saying anything.
"When I received your message, I immediately reported it to Ethan. Ethan was also enraged when
he found out what had happened. He even sent more troops to help me. In fact, he nearly came
here himself." Leonard paused to cough.
"Didn''t he know about the border''s situation before?" I asked in disbelief.
"How could he? Geoffrey has been deceiving the royal family for years. He bribed prosecutors who
came to inspect the border every year. And he has been lying to the werewolves here, iming that
the royal family abandoned them and ignored them. That was how he was able to sow discord
between the two sides."
Hearing this, I felt righteous indignation. It turned out that Geoffrey''s words on the day of the riot
was all bullshit. I regretting believing a single word he said.
He was indeed a shameless man—and a good actor.
"It''s possible that Geoffrey felt that he had no choice but to cooperate with the vampires to protect
the majority of his pack. But since the moment he lied to the royal family, that agreement and the
wall had be the symbols of his ambitions."
Leonard''s words were simr to what Rufus had just said.
Geoffrey''s original intention was probably good, but his good intentions had been eroded by his
desires and ambitions.

Geoffrey was unworthy of sympathy.
It just served him right.
Upon learning that Ethan wasn''t involved in this matter, Rufus looked relieved.
A faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. In a much louder voice, he said, "After the matters
here are settled, we can take Geoffrey back to the imperial capital and he will stand trial there."
"Sounds good." Leonard nodded and fished out a USB sh disk from his suit pocket. "This is the
information we found in Geoffrey''s hiddenpartment. It contains the truth about the border''s
situation and records the process of Geoffrey''s deal with the vampires."
