Abandoned by the Alpha, I Became the Lycan King's Mate-Chapter 400 Obtain intelligence

[Donald’s Perspective]

"Donald, Martha is the dearest person to me in this world besides you. Do you really want me to watch her become irredeemable and relive the tragedy from back then?"

"Didn’t you also like your Uncle Dan when you were little? Have you forgotten? I often think if you could sit down and talk it out properly, maybe there could have been a different outcome..."

"Stop being naive, Licia! Your assumption can’t be put into practice. My father and I are fated to be at loggerheads with their family to the death!"

I frowned and cut off Licia’s long speech, ruthlessly tearing apart her peace fantasies, and then continued with a bitter laugh, "This matter has long since ceased to be the internal strife within the family you thought it was. It concerns the entire order and rules of the Wolf royal family and the werewolf world, a war that could lead to rivers of blood if one is not careful, and not something that can be settled by simply sitting down!"

"Besides, Henry and Martha probably won’t accept your ’peace argument’, will they? It’s not the first time I’ve asked you to see the situation for what it is, but you’re always so naive; it really makes things difficult for me! I do appreciate you having this Medical Practitioner save Margaret, but as for the rest—stop dreaming!"

After speaking, I started fiddling with the gun in my hand and then looked up at Licia again after a moment of thought.

Her eyes were red from crying, and she was much thinner than when she was in the Royal City, which made it clear that Martha and Henry hadn’t taken good care of her.

"If you want to help me, then go to the hospital to check on Margaret’s condition and tell her I’ve already landed on the island, so she can be at peace! Also, I need you and this doctor to protect her at all costs—can you do that for me?" I said gravely, examining and waiting for Licia’s response in her eyes.

Licia was silent for a few seconds before she nodded, agreeing to my request.

At this point, the Medical Practitioner named Simo also sighed in relief and looked at me and Licia, adding, "The Lycan Queen was thinking the same before. She really needs the Empress Dowager to go and talk to her personally!"

I raised my brow slightly, glanced at Simo, and said, "That doesn’t sound exactly like something Margaret would say, does it? Given Licia’s current attitude, it’s unlikely to be that mild."

Upon hearing this, Simo’s expression stiffened as if he choked on my words, his demeanor turning very unnatural.

Noticing this, I chuckled, realizing that I might have guessed correctly, and withdrew my gaze.

Licia tugged at my clothes, still wanting to ask about our next military plan, but I couldn’t fully trust her, so I remained silent, my expression indifferent, listening to Elliot continue to question Simo about the other situations on the island.

Because Licia and I were temporarily at a truce, Simo no longer hemmed and hawed, beginning to detail the situation and military deployment on Poison Snake Island!

"The land area of Poison Snake Island is quite large. The terrain in the east, west, south, and north of the island is relatively flat. Our current location is on the west side, hence the entrance here is a natural cliff pass, which is why the stationed force here is the least, making it relatively the safest place."

"The east side of the island is where the Madam usually engages in activities and work. That area is home to the bulk of the hired soldiers and is the most heavily guarded defense line. It is also the most convenient and quickest foothold for entry and exit of Poison Snake Island!"

"The situation in the north is not much different from the west, but I don’t know the specifics there, as the Madam has designated it a forbidden area and doesn’t allow personnel to roam there. The south side has been particularly lively recently; Henry’s subordinates are stationed there, that area could be considered Henry’s domain. Madam still very much cherishes her son despite their long separation!"

Simo seemed to be very familiar with the conditions on the island. After briefly finishing the introduction, he then closed his mouth and said no more.

I glanced at him without a word but a sense of suspicion arose in my heart.

"You just said you’re a Medical Practitioner, but I notice you have a high sensitivity to military defenses; you’re not as simple as you claim to be, are you?" Elliot has always been direct; after putting away his map, he stared straight at Simo and asked.

Simo, who had been frightened several times already tonight, had seemingly gotten used to it. Looking at Elliot, he replied, "This is Poison Snake Island off the coast of Lilo Sea. If I didn’t have some other skills, I would have died many times over by now! These are the very basic skills possessed by people on the island, nothing to be curious about!"

As he spoke, he looked away, his head hung as if muttering to himself, "If it weren’t for the Empress Dowager’s sudden arrival on the island, I would have found a way to leave this damned place long ago. While it’s easy to make money here, staying alive to spend it outside requires real talent."

"What are you mumbling about? Can you speak up?" Elliot, not having heard him clearly, asked with some dissatisfaction.

I glanced at my watch, thinking about the patrol team outside, and reminded in a stern voice, "It’s getting late; we should withdraw after we finish with the intelligence. I have a feeling that it’s too quiet out there—it doesn’t bode well."
