The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222: HIS EYES SOFTENED

"Imbecile!" Lou growled angrily, as he kicked the old man.

The poor man was sent flying a few meters away before his body collided against the tree. He let out a painful groan, as he tried to rise to his feet, but he kept his head low respectfully, as if he was afraid to anger the merchant further.

"I almost died because of you!" Lou trudged slowly toward him, while the old man trembled in fear. "How do you plan to explain yourself, Sabian?" He stopped in front of Sabian, as he prostrated himself on the snow covered ground.

"I don’t know how Brinetallons and Vermeyes could come as well, I followed your order and it was supposed to be only trolls and goblins that attacked the palace," Sabian said, his whole body trembling in fear.

Lou was a sorcerer, he was not lying when he said he didn’t have enough strength, because all of his power had been used to open the portal and invite the monsters to attack the palace. This was all his idea, but he didn’t expect to let those venomous monsters come!

Meanwhile, Sabian was the old man, who guarded the cave full of water magic stones in the black market. He was Lou’s loyal servant.

No wonder he felt his magic had been sapped greatly, as it turned out, those dangerous monsters had crossed the portal as well.

"Master, you must know that my magic will not be able to call for those monsters, I don’t even have enough power to open the portal like you could."

What Sabian said was right. He didn’t have enough power to pull off such a complicated magic spell, but how could those Brinetallons and Vermeyes come here?

Lou’s expression turned grim. He looked so cheerful and carefree when he teased and flirted with Iris, but right now, he looked like someone else entirely.

"Leave and make sure no one finds out about the portal," Lou said coldly. His mind was filled with Iris and how she could stop the monster from attacking them. He thought about a lot of possibilities, but nothing seemed to add up.

"Yes, yes, master." _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

Not long after that, the carriage that would take Lou out of the woods arrived.

==========================

Hanna looked so worried when she saw Iris, she hugged her and checked on her. She sighed in relief when she saw there were only a few minor grazes on her palms.

And then a moment later, a carriage arrived.

Cane helped her to get into the carriage and this time, she let someone else help her to get in. At first, Iris thought Cane would leave after he made sure she was safe, but to her surprise, he got into the carriage as well.
