Abandoned by the Alpha, I Became the Lycan King's Mate-Chapter 394 ’Going to War with Justification

[Donald’s perspective]

Berton was somewhat hysterical as he shouted. I squinted dangerously at him and didn’t think he had any chance of turning defeat into victory!

’Bang!’

As I spoke, I fired a shot at his right shoulder without hesitation, "Consider this shot a compensation for little Lisa. You crazy old man don’t deserve to be her father."

Berton, as if he hadn’t expected me to actually shoot, let out a muffled grunt as he took the bullet, and blood quickly pooled from near his right shoulder that was close to the ground.

This time he truly cried out in pain, much more genuine than his earlier acting.

"You... Even if you have seen through me, you won’t really be able to successfully land on the island! Without internal personnel to guide you, it’s impossible to pass through the waters of Poison Snake Island. Killing me directly is also useless; it seems you are doomed not to rescue your beloved Margaret," Berton said with a voice intermittent, yet he continued to provoke me by bringing up Margaret.

I took a step forward and forcefully stomped on his right shoulder with my combat boot!

I ignored his suddenly piercing scream and said coldly, "That’s my own business, no need for your concern! You can choose to keep your mouth shut, or continue provoking me, but I can’t assure that my next shot will be this ’off target’!"

When I talked about being ’off target,’ I didn’t mean actually missing, but rather that the next shot would aim to take his life.

"This band of sea pirates, I finished them all today. Do you think that mysterious island master will still trust you, think you are a reliable ally? You actually have no choice anymore, understand, Berton?" I ground my heel into the torn flesh under my boot, my expression still calm.

I admit I’m no match for Henry when it comes to manipulating people’s hearts, but it’s not something I’m incompetent at. I am quite adept at battlefield negotiations, which are very straightforward, generally boiling down to just threat or temptation!

Berton isn’t afraid of losing relatives or friends, but he values his own life unexpectedly highly; a kind of extreme selfishness.

Under my pressure, he remained silent for a long time until he realized that he was losing too much blood and his body temperature and life signs were dropping rapidly, then he reluctantly spoke in a hoarse voice, "There are three factions of rebels on the island: Henry’s Rebels, Levi’s Spirit Dragon Pack, and the followers of the Poison Snake Island Master!"

This sentence seemed somewhat redundant. I slightly frowned, my patience quickly fading.

Berton noticed my mood and, gritting his teeth, continued, "Underneath the eastern part of Poison Snake Island, it’s said there’s a submarine passage that leads directly to Demon Domain Forest! So I actually began to suspect the identity of the island master quite early, until the rebel Prince Henry fled south and finally ended up in the Lilo Sea, arriving at this Poison Snake Island!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

I realized the importance of this information. My gaze at Berton turned colder, but inside I was tumultuously turning things over.

Magic Forest! Poison Snake Island! Henry!

When these keywords were added together, they uncontrollably sent a chill up my spine. A speculation arose in my heart, yet my face remained as calm as ever while I continued to stare down Berton.

"It is well-known to everyone that King Lington died in the Demon Domain Forest. However, no one has ever delved into the circumstances of another person, that is, the wife of King Lington - Princess Lington! She is the biological sister of the current Empress Dowager. Although some say she died to accompany King Lington in death, it’s merely a rumor after all, and no one knows what the real situation was."

"I came to know of the existence of that passage in a very coincidental situation. And from that, I deduced the current conclusion: the master of Poison Snake Island is Princess Lington and also the biological mother of Henry!"

"Thus, it makes perfect sense for Henry to have traveled such great distances to escape here. And the ’sea pirates’ committing plunder on the Lilo Sea weren’t just any robbers or any damned mercenaries; I suspect they are the descendants of the remains of King Lington’s forces!"

Overwhelmed by the load of information in Berton’s statement, he closed his eyes, as if he could barely hold on.

I took my foot off him, slowly stood up, and my brain quickly processed all this information.

So initially, the raw ingredients for those strange potions created by Henry truly came from the Demon Domain Forest, and then were transported out of Poison Snake Island through Martha’s hands, until they finally reached Henry, who was in the Royal City.

Furthermore, Austin and Levi’s betrayal of the Wolf Royal Family was also because of this, as Henry, backed by the ’revived’ Princess Lington and in command of King Lington’s remnants, was well-placed to directly confront the current Royal Family.

They could completely stand under the banner of avenging King Lington, coupled with the forces of rebels gathered from various sources, to ’righteously’ declare war against me and the Wolf Royal Family!

With everything starting to clear up, the unease in my heart surged even more. Margaret’s situation on the island seemed increasingly difficult.
