I was dumbfounded for a moment, not understanding what Avis was saying. His arguments are very reasonable, but not for me. I only go to the well to wash my hands and face. I didn't put anything in the well. How could he blame me?The expression of my astonishment and astonishment in Avis' eyes was an expression of anxiety as my crime was revealed. He angrily said, "Lady Sharmaine, I don't understand why you are doing this. Can you tell me the reason?"I recovered my spirits after being shocked by Avis' words. I calmly said, "Mr. Avis, I don't understand what you are saying. The hypothesis you put forward to explain the cause of people getting food poisoning is very reasonable, but it is also just a hypothesis. Besides, I didn't put anything in the well at all. I want to ask who is the person who denounced me. I need to confront that person to clear things up. You can't believe a one-sided word and blame me."Avis was stunned. After a while, he said, "I promised that person not to reve
Amanda was furious because of the words of the people in the charity group. She wanted to rush out and scold them, but I managed to drag her to the back of the house to talk.Amanda is a straight girl who doesn't know how to hide her feelings. She angrily asked me, "Aren't you angry? Do not worry! I will help you punish those people."She said and then struggled out of my arms, wanting to run away to find the others.I quickly pulled her back and held her hand tightly so she wouldn't run away. I whispered, "Don't make a fuss; they'll know we're eavesdropping on them. Things are going badly; I don't want any more trouble."Maybe someone as simple as Amanda didn't understand how I could be so patient. She glared at me for a moment before she calmed down. She shoved my hand away from her, and despite her anger, she lowered her voice, "If you don't speak up, those people will be even more outrageous. Everything has not been investigated; how can they confirm that you are the one who poiso
Some people got angry after hearing what Daisy said. They criticized me."Do you have anything to deny? Daisy has seen all your evil deeds.""I didn't expect you to be such a cruel person! What have the people here done to you?""For what purpose are you doing this? Wicked one!""Damned! I will not yield to you even if you are Sir Darian's wife. You have to take responsibility for this.""You want our charity to lose its reputation with you. It was unfortunate that we met you.""Even if you have Sir Darian behind you, I must sue you. You are evil! You harmed the innocent people and scared Daisy.""If something happens to Daisy, I believe you are the one who harmed her because you want revenge on her."“…”Amanda was furious. She yelled, "Shut up! The truth is still not clear. People have no right to scold her."Most people are silent, but a few are too angry or have big guts to continue to criticize."The truth is clear! Even the investigators who come here can't whitewash her.""I kn
I woke up in terrible pain. My body fell apart as if every part had been taken apart. I want to move, but I can't. My finger moved just a little, and it hurt.I slowly opened my eyes, and my eyes were still a dramatic black that was no different from when I closed my eyes. All around me, there were all kinds of small insect calls. I am familiar with it because I have lived in the forest long.I can feel some insects crawling on me. I was extremely thirsty and hungry, but then I didn't care anymore because the pain all over my body paralyzed my nerves.I was in so much pain that I wanted to pass out again, but I still stayed awake to remember what had happened to me. My head hurts like it's about to burst. Several images flashed through my mind, reminding me that someone had hit me unexpectedly. Maybe after that person knocked me out and threw me into the ravine, I'm lying in a deep ravine.I tried to remember who hit me but couldn't because I didn't see him then. But I guess it was a
"How is it possible? The mayor never mentioned you going up the mountain." Amanda was bewildered.I lowered my face and said, "That's what I wonder. He was the one who suggested it to me, but why when I went missing, he didn't tell anyone about it.""Perhaps he was the one who harmed you. He lures you up the mountain to attack you and wants to kill you." Amanda opened her eyes wide, covering her mouth with her hand, her face full of horror as if she had just discovered a shocking secret.I stayed silent, not knowing how to respond. In the immediate future, the mayor is the most suspicious person because only he knows I went up the mountain, and he purposely kept it a secret. Still, I don't believe he was the one who beat me up in the mountain because he's grown up anyway age, so his strength can't be so muscular that I can't fight back.I told Amanda, "Even though I couldn't see the killer's face, I don't think he was the mayor because he had powerful, muscular arms. Maybe the mayor k
Darian said, "I want to give you a chance to confess the truth. If you're the one who put poison in the well water, admit it. I will help you cover this up. As for you being pushed down the cliff, I will find the mastermind to defeat him."I opened my eyes wide, unable to believe what I just heard. Is he suspicious of me? No, he did not doubt. He asserted that I was the one who poisoned the people's healthy water.My heart throbbed a little. I can accept anyone who doubts or harms me because those people are people I don't care about, but I don't want Darian to doubt me. The frustration in my heart increased a little more. The pain mixed in with my every breath, making me feel like I couldn't breathe.It took a while for me to calm down. I tried so hard not to get so frustrated that I cried, but my throat seemed to choke, making my voice choke, "You don't believe me!"I remember Amanda telling me today that the investigation team had not found any new leads. The accusations against me
I suppressed the uneasiness in my heart, saying, "Did you get any more information from Alex? Has there been any new information about the poisonous well water?"Logan said cautiously, "Alex testified that he and Daisy were both hired by Luna Layla to harm Sharmaine. Daisy is the one who poisons the people's well water. The one who spread rumors to the people to rebel was Alex. The investigation team tortured Daisy to ask her where the potion was. She buried the potion under a tree in the village. The investigation team found that evidence. Currently, the people on the investigation team need you to come up with a solution. They don't dare to arbitrarily announce the results because the mastermind in this is Luna Layla."I clenched my fist. The anger in my heart could not be contained, so I slammed my hand on the table hard.Logan did not dare to breathe when he saw me in such an angry state. He is silent, trying to reduce his existence as much as possible.After a while, I was able t
Sharmaine's POVAfter three weeks in the hospital, my body recovered very well thanks to the dedicated care of doctors, nurses, and Maya. A few days ago, I received news that the investigation in the town had been completed. Alex and Daisy were the ones who put poison in people's well water. They confessed it and were taken to the Pack center to receive the punishment.It was widely covered by the media, and within a few days, it was the subject of everyone's talk. Everyone criticizes and scolds Alex and Daisy for being evil. Only I know that Alex and Daisy are taking the blame for someone else.Although I was restored to my innocence, the mastermind of my harm was not brought to light, so I did not feel happy at all. More than that, I'm disappointed that I didn't get an apology from Darian. He's been gone since the day we argued, and he hasn't come back to apologize for misunderstanding me."Lady, let's go. The car is waiting for us at the hospital gate." Maya said and hurriedly pull
Amanda and Erza almost fought but were separated in time. This commotion also attracted Alpha Harold and Darian."What happened here?" Alpha Harold asked solemnly.Everyone took the initiative to separate so that Alpha Harold and Darian could easily see Erza and Amanda.Erza quickly accused us first, "They bullied me. I just wanted to give Sharmaine some good advice, but she and Amanda scolded me."Amanda immediately objected, "No! You insulted Sharmaine, so I stood up for Sharmaine." Amanda looked at Alpha and said, "Please be fair!"Erza looked pitiful towards Alpha, "I didn't insult Sharmaine. I just gave her some good advice. Amanda misunderstood me and scolded me. She even wanted to hit me. I have never suffered such humiliation. It would be best if you treated me fairly. If not, I will tell my father."Although Erza appeared resentful, her words carried a menacing meaning that disgusted Alpha Harold and everyone.Darian walked up next to me as he walked past Erza. She thought Da
Titus deliberately did not hit me in my vital places, which did not end the battle quickly. He was playing with me like he was playing with a toy. He didn't even bother to transform into a wolf to prove to everyone that he could still defeat me, even if he were in human form.Elmer kept screaming in my head; he didn't want to endure this considerable humiliation, so he tried to restrain me so I could transform into a wolf, but I held back.I had to endure Titus's blows and suppress Elmer's desire to be liberated. For a moment, I fell into a challenging situation. Every cell in my body was hot; the blood in my body was boiling with anger and discomfort, but because of Sharmaine, I had to grit my teeth and endure.The more Titus fought, the more excited and aggressive he became. Not only did he beat me, but he also hurled many insults and curses at me. It was like this was the opportunity he had been waiting for so long to take revenge on me. I could only look at him with hateful eyes,
Round two ended with 134 people remaining. I rose to the top 1, making Titus very bitter. He immediately ordered his subordinates to stir up social media with news, reminding the people that I do not have a wolf soul. People admired my strength and intelligence but were still afraid of someone like me without a wolf soul becoming their Alpha. People always believe that Alpha without a wolf soul will weaken the pack.I didn't care about public opinion and quickly returned to my villa to celebrate with Sharmaine."Lady Sharmaine has arrived at Moon Castle, Sir!" Maya said."What did she come to Moon Castle for? How long has she been gone?" I asked, feeling uneasy in my heart."She left about half an hour after the second round of the competition started. She received a message from Moon Castle; the content of the message was that Alpha and Luna wanted to meet her." Maya replied. She still trembles when facing me.If it were a text message from Moon Castle, I wouldn't have needed to worr
The car has directions, so I don't have to worry about getting lost. After leaving the forest, I entered the highway. I drove at a speed as fast as the wind. I relaxed because I had left the forest. I hoped to find a car on the road, but the road was very deserted; there was no car other than mine.Because it is a highway, both sides are empty lots full of weeds or desolate and dry land with no houses. After driving for about fifteen minutes, I saw a black car before me. I should have been glad I was seeking help, but I didn't understand why my gut told me I shouldn't stop.My car and that black car were getting closer and closer to each other because both cars were running at a fast speed, so the time was only measured in seconds. I didn't have time to think, so I finally followed my hunch. When my car and that black car passed each other, I could see that inside that car were two men with ordinary faces. They also saw me, and our eyes met for less than a second.When my car passed t
When Mira touched me, I suddenly opened my eyes and threw the bottle of paralyzing poison into her face.Mira was surprised, so she screamed, instinctively covering her face with her hands, but it was too late; she had inhaled the toxic powder. But this type of poison does not work immediately; it takes three to five minutes to take effect. So, for now, Mira still has strength.When Mira panicked because of the poisonous powder, I sat up and kicked Mira's stomach, causing her to move backward. Then I got out of the car.Mira was a warrior with many years of training and quickly regained her composure. She rushed to control my hands when I tried to open the car's front door."Damned! Damn whore! Why are you still awake?" Mira was angry.Mira didn't know I knew martial arts, so she wasn't prepared. I forcefully freed myself from her and turned around to punch her in the chest. Mira was pushed backward.When she saw me doing a martial arts pose, her eyes widened in surprise. She said, "Y
*Sharmaine's POVThe competition had only started a few minutes, so there was no tension. What I'm looking forward to is seeing the transformation maze. People watch this round not just to see players fight each other but to learn about the mystery of the Mystical Maze.I had heard of Mystical Maze before, but I hadn't had a chance to see pictures or information about it. Mystical Maze is considered a military secret of the Dark Moon Pack. This place makes other Packs tremble with fear and curiosity, so images or information about Mystical Maze are never disclosed to other Packs.Although information still leaks out, ordinary people never know it, and that information is not considered accurate because Mystical Maze is constantly changing.Compared to looking for the moment Darian appeared on screen, I was much more interested in Mystical Maze. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. I waited attentively until the screen shook, the contestants' faces panicked, and a few embarrassing m
Contestants have one day to rest before starting round two. Round two is called Mystical Maze. In Dark Moon, a vast underground maze is located under military region 4. It was built a long time ago; the original purpose was to use it as a shelter for soldiers if there was a sudden enemy attack, a place to lure the enemy and then kill them enemy. This maze was a massive fear for enemies who had lost in military Region 4.Later, the maze was repaired and improved. It is used as a training ground for soldiers or a place for rigorous tests in the military. This maze was challenging for the soldiers, making them struggle and bitter.In the maze, there are many mysterious traps. You may lose your life immediately if you accidentally touch an underground organ. In addition, there are also wild animals in the maze, such as lions, bears, poisonous bats, and so on. The maze includes high-tech traps such as lasers and robots. In general, a maze is a challenge that requires the player to have mor
Closer to the finish line, we met more teams and fought more. Teams near the finish line are divided into two types: having many cards and no cards. Teams with many cards do so because they want to reduce competition in the next round, so instead of just stealing one card, which is enough, they decide to steal many cards to eliminate more teams. The team still hasn't earned any cards because they were stolen, but they don't give up; they want to set a trap to steal the teams' cards that come later.No matter which team we face, we can easily win. Because the abilities of my four teammates are strong, plus I have leadership abilities, and we work together very well, almost no team can make things difficult for us.A few teams use hidden tricks such as anesthetics, hallucinogens, or some poison that does not affect life but affects fighting ability. We did not falter because of those dastardly tricks because before entering the competition, Sharmaine had prepared an antidote for me that
*Darian's POVThe competition occurred four days ago, and my teammates and I have gone halfway. Currently, we are stopping in a forest to rest."Our journey was so smooth, no team dared to attack our team intentionally," Amanda said."If we keep going like this, we will reach our destination two days before the end of round one," Michael said excitedly."Don't be so happy. Do you want to reach your destination without two cards? Even if we arrive early, we will still be eliminated from the competition." Logan said thoughtfully."Don't worry, we will meet our opponents in the following days." Kevin was grilling fish but still joined in the conversation.The allowed time for this contest is ten days, a reasonable time the organizers calculated. If the participant is not disadvantaged, he can reach the destination within nine days, or if he runs non-stop, he can reach the destination much sooner. The extra time is for teams to fight each other and recover their health.I don't participat
