Chapter 773 Take Action
Sylvia''s POV:
My heart tightened. I sprang to my feet and asked, "What happened?"
ir scowled and said in a heavy voice, "I received a notice ten minutes ago that Rufus has
encountered a riot during the meeting. My mission to go out has been postponed. I have to lead the
army to subdue the riot right now."
When I heard this news, I felt like my head was about to explode. "What about Rufus? How is he?
Is he hurt? Why did this turmoil happen? Was it because of the ck witches or the vampires?"
I was so agitated that I was ready to charge out instantly. ir grabbed my arm and said, "Calm
down, Sylvia. Rufus is fine. Neither the vampires, nor the ck witches are involved. I think this riot
was incited by an elder of the royal family. He wanted to strike a direct blow to Rufus, because his
interests would be damaged if the meeting went smoothly."
Relief coursed through me when I heard this, but worry about Rufus still gued me. "What about
Rufus? Where is he now? Are you absolutely certain that he is unhurt?"

ir''s face darkened further. He red at me and said in annoyance, "Rufus really is fine. You''d
better focus on our n."
"What should we do now?" I turned to ask him, now beginning to worry about it.
ir''s face softened. "It will be fine. When I finish suppressing the riot, I''ll sneak you out of the
capital city on another excuse. Wait for me here. People rarely evere in anyway."
I nodded. "Then go ahead with your task. I''ll wait here."
After ir left, I sat in his office alone. While waiting, I searched about relevant news articles on
today''s riot on my phone. They only mentioned that a few soldiers were injured. There was no
mentioning of Rufus getting hurt. Moreover, there were even pictures of him maintaining order on
the news websites. Although those pictures were blurred, it was obvious that he was unharmed.
My body sagged in relief. Putting the phone to the side, Iy down on the sofa to rest. I hadn''t slept
wellst night. As soon as I drifted off, I was tormented by dreams of ck thorns.
I turned over groggily, and something sharp cut into my side. I stood up and pulled out a very thin
Kraft notebook from the gap of the sofa.
When I casually opened it, I saw that my name was doodled all over the front page.
Needless to say, it must be ir who did it.
Speechless, I stuffed the notebook back to its original spot between the cushions as Iforted
myself that ir was just sick. Once I found my mother''s inheritance book, maybe I could cure him.
As the minutes ticked by, I dozed off again. Suddenly, my phone rang, startling me awake. It was
Flora.
I happily answered. Both Flora and I had been busy over the past several days and we hadn''t got a
chance to talk at all.
As usual, Flora''s animated voice hit my ears. She gave me the details of everything that had been
going on in her life recently. From her description, it was obvious that her rtionship with Warren
was progressing happily.
"By the way, I''ve recently learned a lot of secret recipes from the elder she-wolves from my pack.
They''re all good for both the mother and the baby. I''ll sort out the herbs and mail them to the capital
city for youter along with the recipes." Flora was very excited to tell me about all thesetest
developments. She said that she had even felt her baby move recently.
I touched my slightly bulging belly and my heart warmed. "When will youe back to the capital
city?"
"I''ll be back soon, I guess," Flora replied casually.
I had mixed feelings. I wasn''t sure when we''d be able to see each other again. I worried that it
would be difficult to gather all the members of the elite team again.
After a long conversation, we reluctantly said goodbye. My phone beeped with ir''s text. It read,
"Mission is over. I''m on my way back. Stay ready, so we can leave immediately."
As I was reading this, Rufus called me.
