Chapter 372: The King’s Reasons

“What the hell was that?”
“It happened!” she said. With Mo Li with her, she couldn’t use the system to check what was going on outside.
However, she was certain of one thing.
The summoning happened here!
This must be the second time that it happened!
Those things killed Anna’s pack!
No. She needed to assess the situation.
She needed to calm down and think about this.
“What’s happening?” Mo Li asked. “Why did you take me here?”
“There are demons outside.”
“Demons!? Demons… can’t go out during the day!”
He was right. Demons hated the sun. They would go out but love staying in the shade. Forests are their favorite place.
“And how the hell did you know that?”
“I can smell them.” The lie came out of nowhere.
“Smell?”
“Yes. I can smell them.”
“That’s…”
“Impossible?”
“No. I just haven’t heard of that before. So demons?”
She sighed when he finally changed the subject. “Yes.”
“So… you were right? Did they really kill your father?”
“I don’t know.” She found a makeshift chair. It was made of rocks. She knew her father had carved it. This cave was wide and enough to practice martial arts and transformation, but there were only two chairs inside.
It was something that Isaac made for his daughter and him.
It was just for the two of them.
She eyed Mo Li who calmly sat on the other chair. He just finished picking up the food that she threw at the food when they arrived. He then placed it on the makeshift table.
“This place is…”
“None of your business,” she retorted. “And you should leave this place as soon as possible.”
“Aren’t you scared I would tell them where you are?”
“Would you do that?”
Silence followed her question. She doesn’t know this Mo Li. And she was well aware that he was a different Mo Li from the one that she knew in the past. However, a part of her still thought that Mo Li would tell no one about her location.
“It’s dangerous here.”
“Why not just go back to the academy?”
“Why would I?”
“The King is looking for you… He had an emergency meeting with the other Alpha. They couldn’t understand how you just vanished from the inside of the Academy. You didn’t even trigger the talisman that was guarding the place.”
Anna didn’t say anything. Of course, she used the portal that she had set up earlier.
She bit her lower lip, her eyes were glued to the snake meat.
Her appetite was gone by now.
But memories of Anna filled her head.
It was Anna, she was eating snake meat with her father.
She was giggling about something that her father said.
While Lily wasn’t there, she felt a little emotional just watching the two.
For some reason, she felt that this was something she had never experienced before. Of course, she wouldn’t know this. After all, her memory would disappear every time she left the world. She was lucky she could still recall Mo Li and the previous Zealandia.
However, she wondered if his memories would also leave him after she left this world.
A part of her was actually scared of asking about the system.
What a coward, she thought inwardly.
“I don’t understand why the King would look for someone like me.” She mumbled. As far as she knew, the King didn’t know about her abilities. He wouldn’t think she was anything special.
Moreover, the way that she fought during that night wasn’t anything special compared to some beta or Alpha. It might be advanced for her age, but this shouldn’t be the first time that he saw something like that.
“There is nothing here. My father is dead. You should leave. The demons are dangerous. You won’t be able to defeat them.”
“So you think I am a burden?” Mo Li said, unamused at her words. He glared at her, his lips pursed into a grim line.
“Yes. If that’s what you want to hear. Yes. You are a burden. So just leave me alone. You won’t find my father— “
“Why do you think the King was looking for you?”
“Excuse me?” she frowned.
“I know this sounds crazy, but I know your father is alive. And the King wanted you to lead him to Isaac Matthews.”
It was Anna’s turn to be silent. Actually, Mo Li’s words made sense. There is indeed a possibility that Isaac was still alive and that is the reason the King wanted to keep her close. But would her father really survive an attack like that?
True. Isaac could fight against those demons, but the number would surely overwhelm him. He was a great warrior, but he isn’t immortal. There is no way that he would survive the onslaught of demons while protecting the pack and Anna’s mother.
“They didn’t find his body.” Mo Li continued. “He must be alive somewhere.”
“If he is, I don’t know.” And even if she knew, she wouldn’t tell him. Why would she?
This man isn’t the Mo Li from the past.
The white hair and name were their only similarity.
“Then… aren’t you doing to find him?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Why would I?” she retorted. “So the enemies would find him too? Did you really think I was that dumb?”
“You — You have a strange way of thinking.”
Anna rolled her eyes inwardly. She wasn’t stupid. If Isaac was indeed alive, then there must be a reason he didn’t inform his daughter. The only reason she could think of was the fact that he wanted to protect his daughter.
While she was strong, Anna — the original Anna — wouldn’t want to endanger her father.
She wasn’t some warrior justice protagonist who was stupid enough to lead the enemy to someone’s lair!
Plus, she had another matter’s attending to. She recalled her mission and etched them into her mind.
[Mission: Prevent all the misfortune that would happen to Anna.]
[Mission: Find out the truth about the obliteration of the Shadow Pack.]
[Mission: Find out the truth about the Prophesy and Anna’s involvement in it.]
[Warning: Do not fall in love with the prince who ruins Anna’s life.]
Yep. She already did the first and the one last. Now, she needed to investigate the second and the third one.
