Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 129: Exposing The Crime 

Anthony's POV:

Arthur pointed at Jerome and asked about his identity.Everyone's eyes were on Jerome now.

I responded quickly, "This is my attendant and friend, Jerome."

I figured that introducing him was the right thing to do.

Sure enough, at the mention of that name, Arthur's face went pale.

He was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair.That was interesting!

"What's wrong?" I asked, feigning a concerned frown.

"Did my friend do something wrong?" I knew he had a guilty conscience, but it was so satisfying to tease him like this.

After all, this was nothing compared to all the evil crimes he had committed in the past.

"I-l also had a friend who was named Jerome," he stammered nervously.

"Unfortunately, he has passed away. I was sad for a long time."

"Really? What a coincidence!" I said with a slight smile.

To Jerome, I said, "In honor of his old friend, why don't you make a toast to Alpha Arthur? He has ruled over Rainbow Pack for more than ten years and has the support of the werewolves here. He is a respectable Alpha."

As I praised Arthur, I observed his face. As expected, his expression was a bit gloomy.

"Mr.Jones, I'm flattered."

Arthur smiled awkwardly.

‘It's good that you know it's just flattery.You don't deserve my praise or a toast from Jerome!’ I thought.Jerome held up his glass and clinked it against Arthur's.

"I'm honored to meet you," Jerome said gruffly.

As he spoke, Arthur almost dropped his glass.

Did he recognize Jerome's voice? I could see the panic in Arthur's eyes.

He exhibited the look of a guilty man.

Arthur was a cunning, old fox.

It was not easy for him to be struck by guilt.

"Alright, Jerome, you can go back to your seat."

I watched Arthur out of the corner of my eye as Jerome settle back in his seat.

The panic written all over his face remained.

"Today is a good day,"

I said loudly to gather the attention of the crowd.

"I happen to have brought a gift for Arthur in celebration of his tenth anniversary as Alpha of the Rainbow Pack."

Arthur's panic subsided and he put on a flattered expression.

"Why, thank you, Mr.Jones."

"You're welcome."

Then, I gestured for Tony, who was disguised as my attendant, to bring the gift forward.

The gift was in an exquisite, luxurious-looking black box.

Arthur stared at the box before him, his eyes burning with desire.There wasn't a trace of panic on his face.

He sincerely thought it was a gift for him.How ridiculous!

"Open it!" I urged him.

Arthur lifted the lid off the box.

When he saw what was inside, all the color drained from his face and he collapsed to the floor.

"Mr.Jones? What is the meaning of this? I can't accept a gift as precious as this!"

Arthur stuttered as he tried to retreat, as though he was scared the antique would attack him.

"Is that so? But from the way you're behaving, I think you are guilty of something, Arthur." I sneered.

"Don't you remember this antique?" Arthur shook his head desperately.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Mr.Jones."

He tried his best to hide his panic, but the way he was acting couldn't deceive anyone.

Everyone saw past his weak facade.

I took the antique out of the gift box and held it up for everyone to see.

"Does anyone here know about this antique?"

Simon stepped forward as planned.

"The late Alpha Lewis gave that treasure to Alpha Arthur.But how did it end up with you, Mr.Jones? How strange!" I pointed at Tony, who was still in disguise.

"Why don't we ask this gentleman?"

Everyone looked towards Tony.

Even from my vantage point, I could see that Tony's eyes were full of hatred for Arthur.

Tony's POV:

The moment Anthony pointed at me, everyone's eyes shifted to me, including Arthur's.

Arthur was a hypocrite and a liar.

He had hurt me for years.

Finally, I had the chance to make him pay for everything he had done.

I couldn't help but revel in this feeling.The moment Anthony pointed at me, everyone's eyes shifted to me, including Arthur's.

Arthur was a hypocrite and a liar.

Finally, I had the chance to make him pay for everything he had done.

I couldn't help but revel in this feeling.

I stood in the middle of the banquet hall, took off my cap, and raised my head, revealing my face to the crowd.

"Oh my God! It's Elder Tony! I thought he was dead! Why is he here?"

Simon and another elder, whose name was Robert, started making a commotion the moment I took off my cap.

I chuckled internally.

The two of them were really good at acting.

This was all part of our plan.

My sudden appearance would definitely cause a great uproar, and then I would help clear Jennifer's name and erase her reputation as a jinx.

I felt so sorry for her. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

But at least now I finally had a chance to atone for my sins.

Now that my identity was revealed, the other elders soon recognized me and were also shocked.

Seeing that the plan was working, Simon added fuel to the fire.

"Elder Tony was the most mysterious elder of the Rainbow Pack.He was once the only elder in our pack who could predict the future.I could never mistake him for anyone else.But I thought he was dead! What on earth could bring him here?"

I shot a murderous glare at Arthur, who cowered behind his chair.

He should be scared.

He needed to pay for everything he had done.

I took a step forward and cleared my throat.

"I'm not dead.I've been in hiding.Arthur has been trying to hunt me down for years, and he has killed all of my family.The reason why I am here today is to expose his crimes.He is nothing but a hypocritical beast."

I pointed at the antique in Anthony's hand.

"Arthur kidnapped my family and then bribed me with that treasure.He asked me to make a false prophecy that Jennifer was a jinx.When I finally caved, he fought the late Alpha Lewis under the guise of eliminating the jinx and killed him."

I was so angry that I pointed a finger at Arthur, trembling with rage.

"He is a traitor and a thief! He is a good-for-nothing bastard.He is a beast with a human face.He's simply hopeless.He doesn't deserve to be the Alpha of the Rainbow Pack!"

And with that, chaos broke loose.
