Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

325 Infighting

Selma Payne’s POV:

This caused a huge public uproar among the werewolves, and the wanderers were pushed to the forefront of the storm. The people’s disgust towards these stray dogs reached a peak, and they began to resist spontaneously. Many of the nests of the wanderers hidden among the people were also broken through in one fell swoop. More than a dozen middle and upper echelons were caught, and their evil deeds caused public opinion to reach an even higher peak.

However, due to the manipulation of some people, public opinion gradually changed and suddenly began to attack the central government. Some people gathered and paraded, demanding that the Council of Elders take responsibility for this. They even asked the speaker to take the blame and resign.

The right-hand President had always been a fence-sitter who did not please nor offend either side. He was purely a ‘highly respected’ mascot in the Council of Elders. So, the real target of this resignation storm was very obvious. As the left-hand President, there was no way Arkadius could guarantee that he wouldn’t offend anyone. Furthermore, he was a clear-headed royalist, which made him even more of a thorn in the side of some people. It would be strange if they didn’t take this opportunity to mess with him.

However, Arkadius couldn’t resign so easily. He didn’t have any major responsibility at all. The wanderers had been a historical problem accumulated for thousands of years. Unless the expulsion system was abolished and no more werewolves defected, there was no way to solve the root problem.

The political struggle in the distant Lycan pack was far away from me but also close. The person who revealed his fangs didn’t care about tearing this layer of pretense apart. Recently, the approval speed of some documents and funds had slowed down or even been intentionally delayed by someone. Someone was treating me like a soft persimmon and trying vainly to make things difficult.

I could tolerate it if it happened once or twice, but destroying the foundation of the transformation plan was like dancing on my minefield.

When Emma returned to the office with the notice of delay, my only thought was to fly back to the Lycan pack and bite those old and cunning politicians to death. This loan was intended to purchase advanced equipment for the newly built central hospital. Although the investors had generously said that they could bear all the expenses, I couldn’t agree to it at all. Otherwise, it was hard to say what the hospital’s name was.

Now that the money was stuck and there was no money to pay the supplier, the other party would not transport the equipment. Some hospital departments could not operate as usual, and the patients waiting for treatment could only watch their condition worsen. Pulling one hair would affect the whole body. Did that group of old men full of schemes and plots not know how to take things seriously?

Obviously, in the face of power, they didn’t care about the lives of the civilians. Perhaps they would be happy to have two more people die so they could easily pour dirty water on me.

This group of people dared to pull my tiger whiskers. They must have been mentally prepared for my revenge, right?

Under my secret arrangements, many of my family members had already left the army and integrated into various industries. Many people in the government had become my eyes and spies.

Under their operation, a large amount of evidence of corruption and power-sex transactions was continuously sent to me. I picked out the most active people and handed them to my father. In less than three days, the news of a high-ranking official’s fall would be in the headlines of society.

I didn’t show my face from the beginning to the end. I had to say, the feeling of hiding in the dark and planning strategies was quite addictive.

However, I would not play a political game for a while. I still had to focus on the modification work.

By the way, after another poll, the new pack finally had a name – the Spring Rain Pack, which meant a new beginning and a prosperous future.

The modification work of the Spring Rain Pack was carried out in an orderly manner. Another month passed, and the army had captured more wanderers and even more orphans who had been taken away.

One day, while I was still fighting with the endless accounts in my office, Aldrich, who was in charge of security work, suddenly came to me and said with a serious face. “The patrol team has found traces of the wanderers in the suburbs. I’ve already asked Master Kevin to track them. There was an obvious evil aura and the smell of blood at the scene, and it was suspected that an evil sacrifice ceremony had been carried out. However, we haven’t discovered the evil sacrificial array and don’t know if the wanderers have used unknown means.”

When I received the news, I was not surprised at all, even though I was on high alert. With the army’s relentless pursuit, the wanderers had nowhere to hide and would inevitably try to escape outside the borders. The few major border packs, including the Silver Moon Pack, had already set up an inescapable net. If the wanderers wanted to survive, they would have to go to the weak breakthrough point, the Spring Rain Pack.

First of all, the Spring Rain Pack was newly built and did not have any strong guards. The basic work still depended on the army borrowed by my father. Secondly, I’d also deliberately relaxed the Spring Rain Pack’s defense. Otherwise, how could I attract the mice?

“Is everything prepared according to the original plan?”

“Yes, the soldiers in casual clothes have already integrated into the people. Every street and important traffic pass has soldiers monitoring them twenty-four hours a day. The operations team is also on standby. They immediately began to capture the wanderers when they received the order. However, we haven’t found any traces of them, so we can’t determine their number or how many children they have in their hands.”

“That’s fine for now. We’ll wait for Master Kevin’s news for the time being. Don’t alert the enemy.”
