Chapter 64
Half an hour later, a large group of soldiers poured into Baron’s front yard. They attracted quite a few
people’s attention on their way coming down there. So right now there was a group following them,
watching them avidly.
There were even some discussions among the watching crowd:
“What is the fuzz here? Why are so many people heading over to Gamma Baron’s house?”
“I checked with one of the soldiers…he said Gamma Baron committed a serious crime. And they are
going to confront him with it.”
“Christ. I know that Baron is no decent person! Remember the time he got paraded publicly? First Lady
Harper and then him… Riverside Pack is so doomed.”
“Who cares? Let’s go see him get beaten up by his own soldiers.”
Soon enough, Baron’s front yard was jammed with infuriated soldiers and nosy bystanders.
One soldier marched up to the top stair and hammered on Baron’s door:
“Open up!”
“Yeah, open the damn door! We know you are in there!”
“Spill our money out, you asshole!”
Nobody came to the door. People soon lost their patience and one suggested, “Let’s kick the door
down!”
His suggestion was agreed by many. A few soldiers rushed at the door and bumped against the door
with their shoulders together.
With a great thump, the door budged, and people poured into the house together. In the living room,
Baron was crawling towards the back door trying to get away. He had heard people calling his name
outside of the door and he got panic. He tried to attack Maxie and sought a way of escaping. But Maxie
grabbed his collar and stopped him.
Finding that he was now surrounded by angry soldiers, Baron gulped down nervously with a terrific look
on his face. But he quickly composed himself. Scrambling up to his feet, Baron pointed a finger at the
crowd and cried:
“Who allowed you into my house?! This is trespassing! I can have you beheaded for that! Now get the
hell out of my place!”
He was still trying to scare people by playing the mighty Gamma.
But nobody gave a shit about him anymore.
He had lost people’s trust and respect already.
“Is it true, Gamma Baron? That you pocketed the pack’s money?” someone in the crowd cried.
Baron wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and stammered, “That’s nonsense. I devoted every penny
I received into our army-”
“But how do you explain the crappy training facilities, the terrible food served in the army and
everyone’s shabby uniform?! Some people got food poison last year eating expired food you gave us!”
Baron backed away from the furious crowd slowly, “That’s on the head of purchasing. Not on me.,.”
An angry voice came from the crowd, “I am your head of purchasing! I applied for more money to
purchase better ingredients for our soldiers, but you denied my application! You said that we didn’t
have that kind of money! And it was simple food poison, nothing too serious. How dare you blame this
on me now!!”
розон, посни
Scious. Low call you via uns on me now::
The crowd with filled with indignation when they heard this.
“Simple food poison?!” somebody snarled, “I got diarrhea for a week straight! I almost died out of
dehydration! How would you like to have some bad food?”
“And that was not even the worst thing he did!”
A young man pushed across the crowd and came to the front. His eyes were glinting with fury tears.
He pointed at Baron and cried loudly, “He imprisoned my brother for 2 years! Just because my brother
didn’t want to take order from him when he became Gamma! He told everyone that my brother died in
the battlefield fighting rogues. But the truth is he kept my brother in a lumber camp as his slave! None
of us knew that my brother was still alive until Alpha Daran rescued him a few days ago! It was 2 This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
f**king years! My brother didn’t even get to see our mother for the last time before she passed away!
You deserve to rot in hell, Baron!”
With hot tears streaming down his face, the young man raised his fist up high in the air and rushed at
Baron. Baron dodged in panic, but the young man’s fist still caught him on his chin.
Blood ran down from the corner of his mouth. Baron jerked around and faced the crowd with a raging
face.
“Stop this–RIGHT NOW!”
Baron breathed heavily and backed against wall facing the large crowd by himself. His fists were tightly
clenched. And his wolf fangs were starting to appear.
“I haven’t been convicted for any crimes yet! Which means–I am still your Gamma!” he roared.
“Not for long!” Maxie snapped, “After all that you had done, do you seriously believe that we are still
going to allow you to lead us?”
“Who cares what you think!” Baron cried.
He grinned hideously, glaring at the whole crowd with a crazy enthusiasm gleaming in his eyes.
“My father is a war hero. And he is friend with every elder in Riverside Pack! The elders will know that I
am innocent. They will protect me! And I will still be your Gamma. And when that day comes-”
He cackled evilly.
“-I will have every single one of you flogged and beheaded! For your disrespect to me today!!!”
There was a short moment of silence among the crowd.
And then, a voice came from the door, “Are you sure about this, Baron?”
People turned around to look for the source of that voice.
Janet and Daran just stepped through the door together, with all 6 elders following them behind their
back!
Baron’s face was pale. He gazed at the elders and stammered in panic, “No–No you won’t do this to
me. Elders, please! For my father’s sake-”
“You have exploited your right as the hero’s son, Baron.” An elder said sternly, “Your sin shall not be
forgiven!”
Baron quickly looked towards the other elders. Some avoided eye contact with him, some glared back
at him coldly.
“N–No…you can’t..”
“NO!” Baron shrieked, “Who on earth is more capable than me—”
“Maxie.”
Daran raised his voiced and looked toward Maxie, who seemed a little taken aback when she got
called upon.
“From now on, you will be our next Gamma,” Daran announced with a smile.
