Chapter 68

Maxie slightly parted her lips as though she couldn’t believe w** Damien just said.

And so was everyone else.

They were all staring at Damien and Maxie, dumbfounded, as thos information sank in.

Aurora was the first one to start clapping. She smiled looking at Maxie and cried, “Go Maxie!”

Maxie’s face went red instantly.

“W-Wait! I can’t!” she waved her hands in panic and gasped, “There are so many capable and strong warriors in the army. I can’t be your only choice-

“You are not our only choice. But you are our best choice. Damien said with an encouraging smile. “You have been training our soldiers. You have the experience, and you are familiar with how things are done here at Silver Blade Pack. I have discussed this with the elders. They all agreed with me on this.”

“That’s right, Maxic. You have all of our support,” one of the elders echoed. “With you being the G**, we can finally bring things back on the right track.”

Maxie still seemed overwhelmed

There was a heated discussion among the crowd.

*I agree with Alpha Damien. Maxie is a great choice,” one soldiers said esthetically. “Baron was never around much. It was Maxie who led us through all those trainings. She is strong, smart, and experienced. I can’t think of a better person.”

“I don’t have a problem with her being our G**a! She is way better than Baron!”

A female soldier cried feverishly. “And she will be our first female G**a in Silver Blade Pack! Finally, we put a woman in charge!”

Gradually, all noises mixed together, and they became one strong and united voice. Everyone was cheering, calling the same name loudly:

Se! Maxie! Maxie!”

-Maxie!

Maxie’s cheeks seemed to be on fire. She looked both flattered and nervous. Apparently, she hadn’t received this much attention before.

Aurora noticed her embarrassment. Leaning toward Maxie, Aurora whispered into Maxie’s ear, “You better agree to them now or they will keep calling your name forever.”

Maxir looked at her helplessly, “I don’t know, Aurora…I don’t know if I can do it or not. Leading a whole army? It might be too much for me.”

“What are you talking about? You HAVE BEEN doing this for a while already, remember? You stopped this army from falling apart when Baron was absent. Now it’s time for you to receive your credit.”

Aurora gave a gentle nudge at Maxie’s shoulder and cried, “Attention, everyone! Your new G**a would like to say a word!” The crowd quite down instantly. All eyes were on Maxie.

Maxie gulped nervously. For a second, she seemed as though she was getting a panic attack. But she pulled through that Slightly raising her voice, Maxie said in a shaky yet determined voice, “Thank you for your trust and support everyone-I

really appreciate it. Let’s-let’s work together to defend our pack and kick some rogue’s a**”

She was responded by a round of loud cheering and applause.

“Well said, G**a Maxie!”

“Let’s do it”

Maxie’s face took on an affectionate glow. She peeked at Aurora od smiled gratefully.

Just then, the young man who accused Baron of imprisoning his father stepped out and cried, “Wait a second. What about Baron? Was he going to face a public trial like Lady Chloe? We are all waiting for him to get punished?”

Baron had dropped down on his knees when Damien announced Maxie as the G**a. His face was ashy with terror and despair.

He was forced to face with the fact that this was probably the end for him.

His soldiers all betrayed him. The elders had stopped protecting him. And playing his father’s card didn’t work anymore.

He had got nowhere else to turn anymore.

Now with everyone’s eyes back on him, Baron trembled like a leaf in the wind. He shuffled forward on his knees, groveling. and begged:

“Alpha Damien…and the elders.I-I have realized my mistake now, I really am! I am willing to work as a s**e for the rest of my life-just don’t kill me. Please!”

Damien looked down at Baron coldly. His face was filled with despise.

“Where is the money you took from the pack?” Damien asked, “Spill it out first. Then we’ll talk about your sentence.”

Baron avoided Damien’s eyes shiftily, “I spent it..There’s nothing left.”

People gasped in shock. An elder cried angrily, “You took 3 billion out of the military budget. And now you are telling us you spent them all?! How is this possible!”

“It’s true!” Baron straightened his upper body and said, “On cars, luxury goods, women…However, if you agree to pardon me from the death sentence, I can probably remember where I keep the rest of the money at..”

There was an ugly look on Damien’s face.

This was straight-up blackmail!

Baron knew they needed this money–especially at a time whenthey were building an army to fight back the rogues.

This missing 3 billion was Baron’s last resource. He wouldn’t spill it out easily!

“Hey!” Aurora called and got people to look at her.

She was standing by the wall of the fireplace. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She brought her thumb to scrub on the brick wall a few times. Oddly, the brick started to peel as though it was made of mud and pulp, instead of concrete.

“This is quite an artistic wall you have here.”

Aurora turned around and smiled at Baron, whose face turned paled almost instantly.

“Tell me, Baron. Why do you build your house with mud and paper? What are you trying to hide behind these walls?”

“N-Nothing! It is environmentally friendly this way_DONT TOUCH MY WALL!” Baron shrieked out of despair.

Aurora let out an icy snort and picked up a side table. Raising the table above her head, Aurora threw it at the wall with her whole might!

The table hit against the wall and shattered into pieces.

And the most astonishing thing happened-a c**k appeared on the “brisk wall” and it gradually became larger.

Then, with a crashing sound, the entire three-story wall peeled and crumbled.

Revealing a massive stock of gold hidden behind!

This was where Baron kept his dirty money at-right here in his own house and everyone’s eyes!

His whole house was made of pure gold!

“OH. MY. G**D.” An elder murmured in disbelief.

Everyone present was rendered speechless by this shocking scene in front of them. Just then, Baron suddenly jumped up from the floor and dashed to the front door.

He was lashing out like a cornered animal!

Yet he didn’t even make it to a few steps far before getting tackled down by Maxie again. The angry crowd sprung upon him. Countless kicks and punches fell on his body.

Baron covered his head with both of his head and screamed. But his cry for help was drown out by the noise of the crowd. And from their back came Damien’s old and stern voice:

“Lock him up in the dungeon. He will be executed in the Civic Square. In 3 days.”
