Michael shook his head indifferently. “With you around, I know that things will be resolved smoothly. That’s enough.”

Michael didn’t intend to follow up on this.

I looked at Courtney and then at Michael. I blinked and said, “You must be joking. Do you want to leave everything to Courtney?”

“This should be her job.” Michael pinched the mark on my neck and said, “I just marked my mate. I didn’t take a month off but insisted on finishing the work. I’m very responsible.”

“That’s still too much,” I protested.

“You should see what my dear brother did during the month when he marked Courtney. Compared to him, I’m simply a saint,” Michael complained in dissatisfaction.

Courtney chuckled and said, “It’s alright, I can understand. Leave the work to me and spend your time with your mate.”

Michael looked straight at me, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Since Courtney had already said so, I couldn’t say anything more. Furthermore, I was also rather excited about Michael’s hint. My mate just marked me. Of course, I wanted to ignore everything and stay with him. We should have some alone time together.

“Speaking of which, didn’t I say I would still be responsible for the rest of the work? Why did you personally come to interrogate Thales? Are you worried about me, or are you trying to create an opportunity for us?” Michael asked Courtney.

“None of them.” This time, Courtney did not use a joking tone. Instead, she said in a rather serious manner, “Because we didn’t get any information from Lexus.”

“What?” Michael frowned. “Are you soft on him?”

Courtney sighed. “Although I don’t like bloody interrogation methods, I still use them when necessary. It’s just that Lexus is a tough nut to crack. We’ve tried everything we could but couldn’t get any useful information from him.

“He keeps saying he is innocent and will impeach us in the werewolf court for misusing private force, torturing innocent werewolves, and forcing him to confess.”

I was listening to their conversation.

The rules of the werewolf world were different from that of the human world. Humans believed that punishment was an act that went against human nature and trampled on one’s personality and dignity. However, werewolves were essentially beasts, and beasts admired strength. Any method that could gain the upper hand through force was allowed.

As Michael said, the royal Lycans could challenge the mate of ordinary werewolves. They had power, so they made the rules.

Of course, these rules were not without order, but we allowed the punishment of those suspected of being guilty to obtain information.

“Have you tried the wolf poison on him?” Michael asked.

Wolf poison was the most effective torture method for ordinary werewolves. The pain it brought was more painful than the physical damage caused by other torture devices.

This was because the pain came from the inside, making their beasts go crazy and destroy their will. As long as it was appropriately used, no werewolf could resist the corrosion of wolf poison.

“I don’t need you to tell me that. That’s the strangest thing,” Courtney said. ” Lexus has a resistance to wolf poison. We’ve even used a dosage of wolf poison on him that would cause the death of an ordinary werewolf, but he didn’t even wince.”

“Could he be a Lycan too?” I joined in their conversation.

“No, he doesn’t have the scent of a Lycan on him,” Michael said.

“But, when we were in the warehouse when Joanna introduced him to me, she addressed him as ‘uncle’,” I said.

“What?” Courtney said.

Michael also looked at me in surprise.

I explained, “I didn’t say it before because I thought Joanna was lying to me. Even though she called Lexus her uncle, she didn’t have any respect for him. Instead, Lexus listened to her. But now that I think about it, she thought I would die. She didn’t have to lie to me.”

Courtney lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then she looked up and said with a serious expression, “Thank you, Cecily. What you said is very helpful. I think I know what to do now.”

I looked at Courtney in confusion and waved my hand. I didn’t help much. It would be great if it were useful.

Courtney smiled, and her eyes were filled with a confident glow. “Werewolf hunters always think they’re smart and don’t expose themselves easily. However, they’re always hunting others. It’s time to let them have a taste of being hunted.”

Courtney waved her hand at me and said carefreely, “Goodbye, Cecily. The next time we meet will probably be in the royal Lycan pack.”
