Chapter 65

Maxie slightly parted her lips as though she couldn’t believe what Daran just said. And so was

everyone else.

They were all staring at Daran and Maxie, dumbfounded, as this information sank in.

Jwas 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,” Daran 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 in Riverside Pack. I have discussed this with the elders.

They all agreed withon this.”

“That’s right, Maxie. You have all of our support,” one of the elders echoed. “With you being the

Gamma, 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 Daran. Maxje 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 Gamma! She is way better than Baron!”

A female soldier cried feverishly, “And she will be our first female Gamma in Riverside Pack! Finally, we

put a woman in charge!”

Gradually, all noises mixed together, and they becone strong and united voice. Everyone was

cheering, calling the snloudly:

“-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.

Jnoticed her embarrassment. Leaning toward Maxie, Jwhispered into Maxie’s ear, “You better

agree to them now or they will keep calling your nforever.”

Maxie looked at her helplessly, “I don’t know, Janet…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 while Baron was absent. Now it is tfor you to receive your credit.”

Jgave a gentle nudge at Maxie’s shoulder and cried, “Attention, everyone! Your new Gamma

would like to have 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 with 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 ass!”

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

“Well said, Gamma Maxie!”

“Let’s do it!”

Maxie’s face took on an affectionate glow. She peeked at Jand 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 Harper? We are all waiting for him to get

punished!”

Baron had dropped down on his knees when Daran announced Maxie as the Gamma. 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 Daran…and the elders…I have realized my mistake now. I really am! I am willing to work as a

slave for the rest of my life–just don’t kill me. Please!”

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

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

sentence.”

Baron avoided Daran’s eyes shiftily, “I spent it…There is 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 is true!” Baron straightened his upper body and said, “On cars, luxury goods, women…However, if

you agree to pardonfrom the death sentence, I can probably remember where I keep the rest of

the money at…”

There was an ugly look on Daran’s face.

This was straight–up blackmail!

Baron knew they needed this money–especially at a twhen they 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!” Jcalled and got people to look at her.

She was standing by the wall of the fireplace. 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.”

Jturned 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…DON’T TOUCH MY WALL!” Baron shrieked out of

despair.

Jlet out an icy snort and picked up a side table. Raising the table above her head, Jthrew it at

the wall with her whole might!

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. GOD.” An elder murmured in disbelief.

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.

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