Chapter 1136 The Mainstay


    Crystal''s POV:


    Using the torch of my phone, I entered the secret passage under the bed


    It was filled with meandering and spiraling steps. Both sides of the narrow passage were lined with stone walls, making me feel a bit ustrophobic


    I counted the steps, which went down and then up. The entire structure wasid out in a U shape.


    After walking over five hundred steps, I came to three identical forks.


    I was puzzled and didn''t know which path to choose.


    "Try them all," Yana suggested


    "Well, you''re right."


    Fortunately, there were no booby traps at these forks, and two of them were simply dead ends


    Cnly one fork led to the outside.


    After several twists and turns, I finally spotted the sky again. I shoved away the boulder at the entrance of the cave and walked out.


    The passage opened into a small garden in the corner of the imperial pce, and was quite secluded. It was far away from the pce of the lycan


    king, and it was close to the pces where those elders of the royal family lived.


    I walked along the path and carefully noted my surroundings. I spotted several security cameras installed in the area. Perhaps I could find a clue


    through the surveince video.


    After considering it a while, I went to meet the steward who was in charge of the elders’ pces.


    The steward was a middle-aged man. Dressed in a crisp suit, he looked as if he was dead-on serious and impartial. When he heard my request to


    check the surveince video, he bluntly refused. "Even though you''re an Alpha, you have no authority to interfere in the affairs of the imperial pce.


    You can only check the footage with the consent of the lycan king."This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "I just want to see the surveince


    video of the small garden nearby. I


    don''t want to see the pce


    interiors, or vite anyone''s privacy.”


    I was so agitated that my volume

    "It''s urgent. Please make an exception for me this time.” I repeatedly tried to humble myself. I almost begged him, but he didn''t let me watch the


    video, no matter how I pleaded


    I was burning with angst. My son had just been kidnapped. This was a crucial time to search for him. I needed to hurry.


    I called Rufus, but no one answered. I guessed he was upied in tending to Beryl


    In the end, I had no choice but to barge into the surveince room with my men. The guards stopped us, and even the elders were alerted.


    They were not happy to hear that I wanted to check the surveince footage. Some arrogant elders even ordered the guards to throw us out.


    I was so enraged that I fought them head-on.


    Chaos reighed. Many nosy people


    gatheredaround to watch the fuga,”


    but I couldn''t be bothered. My only


    concern was my son. The more time


    spent tangling with these people,


    the-greater danger my sonwould be


    in”


    In a moment of desperation, I unintentionally


    released a burst of lycan power.


    The expression of the elders, who had been watching the drama unfold, transformed drastically. At that moment, Rufus suddenly appeared and


    shouted, "Stop!"


    When I heard his voice, I instantly calmed down. I felt wronged.


    Rufus looked livid, but I wasn''t scared. The second Iid my eyes on him, all my fear and panic dissolved.


    I approached him. My tears started flowing down again when I saw him. Choking on my sobs, I said in a helpless voice, "Arron was kidnapped..."
