Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved, Chapter 299: The Plan To Destroy Larry

Anthony’s POV: 

After listening to Amelia’s story, Jennifer and I seethed with rage.I hated Larry more than ever in that moment.

We quickly excused ourselves and said goodbye to my mother.

As soon as we stepped outside her room, we all hurried to the meeting room.

When we got there, we found that Roy was already inside waiting for us.

He looked up when we entered and greeted us warmly.

“It’s good to see you, Mr.and Mrs.Jones,” Roy said.

“My friends will be here soon.” I nodded and gestured at Amelia and Morgan.

“They will join our meeting.Amelia knows Larry well, so I think she can help us.”

Then, we all settled into our seats at the table.

Jennifer and I sat at the head of the table, waiting for the other wizards to arrive.

We didn’t have to wait long.

A few minutes later, they started to trickle in.

“Good day, Mr.and Mrs.Jones.”

The first one to arrive was Cynthia.

She greeted us respectfully as soon as she entered the room.

Then she chose the seat next to Roy.

“Glad to see you, Roy.”

To me, Roy’s expression seemed a little unnatural.

“Hello, Cynthia,” he said briefly.

“Cynthia, it’s good to see you.There’s no need to be so formal.You can call me Jennifer,” Jennifer said with a sunny

smile.

Soon, two other wizards arrived.We were now complete.

Six witches and wizards were seated around the table, including Amelia and Morgan.

Bill and Clark, who had also helped us before along with Cynthia, were also here.

After briefly introducing everyone to Amelia and Morgan, the meeting officially began.

“Thank you for coming, everyone.We would really appreciate your help in this great time of need,” I said gravely.

“Because it’s so urgent, I’ll come straight to the point.Since the fall of Austin’s power, Larry has gone into hiding.I

thought he was gone for good, but I was soon proven wrong.Just recently, he attacked my mother with his black

magic.Then, he drugged Amelia, which made her life a living hell.As though this wasn’t enough, he even sent a

parcel of a dead fetus to threaten my queen.All these acts show that Larry wants to officially declare war with

us.We can’t just sit still and wait for our demise.We need to act fast.”

Cynthia nodded, looking at me seriously.

“Roy briefly explained to us what had happened before today’s meeting.We understand how you feel.People like

Larry give the rest of us a bad name.”

“I agree.But the problem is, even if we work together, we might not be able to defeat Larry.The last time we fought

with him, we couldn’t gain the upper hand,” Clark said with a worried look.

“So, if we want to defeat Larry, I suppose we will have to summon more wizards and witches,”

Roy muttered, rubbing his chin, looking very distressed.

Cynthia shook her head.

“Roy, others might not be willing to help.Plus, Larry probably has his own allies.We don’t want to spark conflict

among the wizards and witches.”

I agreed with Cynthia.

Werewolves and wizards never had interfered in each other’s affairs before.

We couldn’t just drag them into this in dealing with Larry.

“Everyone, you’re right.Larry is indeed a powerful wizard.His witchcraft is unmatched, but if we want to defeat him,

we don’t necessarily have to rely on strength.We can also rely on intelligence,” I said slowly.

Sitting next to me, Jennifer chimed in, “Anthony is right.We have Amelia.She knows Larry very well.Once we know

our enemy’s weaknesses, we will be invincible.Amelia, do you have any ideas?”

Amelia hesitated slightly, her cheeks flushed from embarrassment.

“I don’t, but he always says that he loves me.I don’t think he’s lying, since he’s doing everything in his power to get

me back.”

“If that’s the case, then you’re the key to defeating him, Amelia!” Jennifer exclaimed excitedly.

“Maybe you’re right,” Amelia said with a shy smile.

“Larry once said that he wouldn’t let me go no matter what.I’m sure he’ll stop at nothing to get to me.” I thought so

too.

“Amelia, are you willing to pretend to submit to Larry? That way, he’ll lower his guard, posing an opportunity for us

to strike.”

The question was, how far was Larry willing to go for Amelia? I was not Larry, so I didn’t know how much he loved

Amelia.

But judging from how crazy he had been acting the past few days, he probably loved and cared about her deeply,

although it was a warped, almost distorted kind of love.

Amelia had to be Larry’s weakness.

Jennifer’s POV: 

After Anthony spoke out his plan, Morgan frowned deeply.

“With all due respect, Mr.Jones, are you saying you want Amelia to act as bait? I’m sorry but that sounds too

dangerous.”

Morgan didn’t seem to agree.

I looked at him sympathetically.I knew how he felt.

He loved Amelia so much that he wasn’t going to let her take any risks—it was just like how Anthony was with me.

Previously, he refused to let me go with him to the snow mountain because he was scared I would get hurt.

But right now, we had no other choice.

Larry was very powerful.

If we didn’t seize any leads to defeat him, he would eventually take back Amelia, sooner or later.I wanted to

comfort Morgan, but before I could say anything, Amelia suddenly spoke up.

“Morgan, as long as it means we can defeat Larry, I’m willing to be the bait!” Amelia declared firmly.

“Mr.Jones, can you tell me what you need me to do?”

Seeing how determined Amelia was, Morgan didn’t say anything more.He simply looked at her worriedly.

Anthony nodded.

“Amelia, I think we should give Larry a taste of his own medicine.I want you to drug him and let him know what it

feels like to be powerless.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the wizards broke into discussion.

“But Mr.Jones, Larry is also an expert when it comes to magic medicine.He will undoubtedly be able to see it coming

if we try to poison him.”

Cynthia voiced her concerns.

“What if we use a magic medicine that he has never seen before?” I said.

“That way, he won’t see it coming.”

Cynthia was obviously stunned.

“That just might work.But developing a new magic medicine is no easy feat.”

Just then, Morgan stood up abruptly and announced, “What a coincidence! I’ve been wondering how to deal with

Larry so I started experimenting with magic medicine.I’m currently developing one that can make a wizard

gradually lose his magic energy, weakening him until he can’t use witchcraft at all.The best part is, this magic

medicine has no color or smell, so it will be difficult to detect.”

I gasped in surprise.

“Really? That would be amazing! It’s just what we need to defeat Larry!”

Morgan didn’t look that optimistic, though.

“But I haven’t completed it yet.Besides, Larry’s black magic is very powerful.I’m not sure I’ll be able to hide it from

him.”

“It’s still worth a shot,” Cynthia said encouragingly.

“As far as I know, Larry is a proud man.He probably thinks he’s an expert when it comes to all the magic medicine.If

we can develop a new magic medicine, he might not recognize it and it will be difficult for him to guard himself

against it.”

“She’s right,”Amelia said, looking at Morgan excitedly.

“Honey, what they’re saying makes sense.I need to look for an opportunity to drug Larry.”

Morgan finally acquiesced.

“Then I’ll do my best to complete the magic medicine.”

“Don’t worry.I’m interested in magic medicine myself and am more than willing to help you,” Roy said hurriedly.

“I’ll help you, too.The more the merrier!”

Cynthia and the wizards also pledged their support.

I was glad to see everyone putting their minds together to help Amelia.Now, we had a better chance of defeating

Larry.
