The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 399

Chapter 399: THE LYCAN AND HIS MATE

Haco was trying to pull a pitiful card, seeing how compassionate Cane was toward these people, there was no way he would harm a vulnerable and powerless sorcerer like him, right? He was only an ordinary old man without the magic stones, as the Alpha was always very careful before giving him too many for him to accumulate power he could use to go against him.

It was just Cane being careful enough, though he knew Haco would be too afraid to expose himself out there if word got out about him being a dark sorcerer.

"Are you done?" Cane asked in the middle of his whining. Haco immediately clamped his mouth shut and shifted his attention toward Iris.

"I know you will pull it through, you made the Alpha worried! But, I have no doubt you can make it! I have never been wrong with my observation! Never have I doubted you or the power you hold in the slightest!" Haco praised Iris instead.

"Tell me more about her power," Cane said immediately, since that was indeed the topic he wanted to discuss with him.

Haco tilted his head, he contemplated for a while and then extended his hand to Iris, asking her hand. "I don’t know what you meant by telling you more about her power, but I am sure she is not a runt."

Iris extended her hand and Haco grabbed it. His hand was so callous and bony, she felt like she could break his fingers, but at the same time, it was strong and firm.

Probably because of the stress Cane had caused him, he looked a little bit older and haggard than usual. Cane’s threat must be so dreadful until it made him feel on edge.

Haco was silent for a while, as he held her hand. "I am sure she is not a runt. No runt can perform magic, though I can’t say her ability falls into the category of performing magic either." He contemplated for a while, still holding her hand.

"Are you checking on me?" Iris asked.

"Hm." Haco nodded.

"Will your hand be cold like this while you are checking on me?"

"Magic users, who perform black magic mostly have cold hands," Haco explained it simply, because the exact explanation would be more complicated than this, since magic was a vague entity.

"Lady Cyan has cold hands too." Iris recalled when lady Cyan grabbed her hand and how uncomfortable she felt.

Hearing that, Cane’s eyes dimmed. "Would she be able to develop the same predictions about her as you?"

Haco blinked his eyes. "Well, if she is as powerful as me, probably..." He narrowed his eyes, as if he remembered something. "The dark sorcerer in the palace... if she really checked on you, then she must be the dark sorcerer in the palace."

It was still an assumption, but the possibility of it was pretty likely.

"So, she is as powerful as you?"

"No one is as powerful as me."
