Chapter 320 - Treasures
A few minutes after the woman left, the lake side returned to silence once more and the old man continued fishing.
But a few minutes later, an old voice resounded as the old man called out. "Shadow Wolf."
The place remained silent and all of a sudden, a young child who was no older than 10 seemingly stepped out of thin air.
Standing beside the old man with folded arms and an expressionless face that seem to have experienced the things of lives.
"You called me." Although he was a child, the tone that came out from his mouth was that of a middle aged man. He sounded nothing like a child at all.
"Follow her, find him and bring that kid to me. I can't afford to lose this precious opportunity." The old man stated his intention without as much as looking at the child beside him.
The child snorted but eventually grunted with a nod. He turned to leave but then he paused as he gazed at the old man with a smirk. "When are you going to inform her that you killed her mother?"
The old man seem to turn stiff for a moment but then he nonchalantly glanced at the kid beside him.
"When she's ready to hear the truth."
"What truth?" The kid immediately laughed out loud as he said. "The fact that you killed your wife, her mother. There's no truth that can justify that."
"I really don't understand you. You can be so cold blooded as to kill you wife and even your elder brother for the position of Alpha. Why do you still care for the love of your daughter."
The instant the child said that, his throat instantly close up. And his words got sticked in his throat.
The child's face instantly flushed red as though something was grabbing him by the throat.
"Thump!" He directly fell to his knees as his throat seem to have been grasped by some invincible power.
The child slapped repeatedly on his laps and struggled for breath but there wasn't the slightest but of pleading in his eyes.
There was no ounce or traces of him attempting to beg for his life.
"Gasp!" The invincible power disappeared and the child was finally able to breathe properly.
"See what the Commanding waves can achieve once you know how to control it perfectly." The old man finally stood up as he stared at the distance.
"That's exactly what the Peckham Park can do to us. For generations, we've been under them since their ancestors were the ones who transitioned our own ancestor.
There's no way to break the connection except to manipulate the commanding waves."
"Celine found out about this plan and objected to it and even threatened to report to her father and I couldn't let that happen.
While my brother was just so stupid and so short-sighted as to not look further ahead. Rejecting my plans because it involves the experimentation of humans and other wolves."
The old man let out a sigh then his gaze hardened as he stared down sternly as the boy child. "Just do as you are told. Find the boy and bring him to me. He might very well be the our hope of breaking free."
The child let out a snort with a smirk on his face as he said. "You are just a mad man hungry for more power." Not waiting to see the old mans expression, he turned around and his body faded into thing air as he vanished.
The old man in turn remained expressionless as he stared at the new fish caught in his hook, struggling to free itself from the trap. "Just like the fishes, hope we break free this time."

David was wearing a deep frown on his face as he dropped the dried corpse on the ground with a thud.
He had caught up with the second man but it seems the man had called for reinforcements since he had a sinister look on his face instead of the normally terrified one.
But that wasn't the main reason for his worry right now.
Previous, when he tasted human's blood, he was able to control himself and it definitely was as addicting and as sweet as this.
It was as though his taste buds had exploded over night and had increased by almost one thousand times over.
The reason should be because of what had happened when he morphed into his hybrid form. But he has no idea what had happened that's day and could only ask Hazel when she wakes up. But as for now, he needed to escape and recuperate.
Undressing the dries corpse, he wore the clothes over to himself and then turned to leave.
He had only healed a small bit and has slightly less than 50 percent of his strength left.
Going back to the place he had buried himself back then, he took out a small sized backpack from the place and placed it in his back along with the other backpack that contained the scanner the men had brought.
David didn't wait to through the backpack as of yet. Instead, he ran as fast as he could.
And although he had only 50 percent of his strength left, his speed was still enough to blast the air apart.
Roughly three hours later, David stopped when he reaches a fair secured location. He had been running through out the entire three hours journey without rest.
And it took a very high toll on his body which still hadn't recovered as of yet.
When he looked round, he was at the outskirt of the slums before him laid numerous huts and old houses.
David didn't hesitate and went into one of them he felt was empty. He ignored the two little kids huddling together two houses away and also the neighbours that were walking around mechanically doing some basic chores in their old houses.
When he finally entered, David gasped fro deep breaths. He was really tired and had almost exhausted half of the strength he has.
A few hours of meditation and soft recovering practice, he placed the two backpack before him and turned to open one of them.
"Puff."
Slight amount of smoke puffed out as the bag opened. David immediately dumped its content on the floor and searched for things he truly needed.
David's eyes shine a bit once he found a bottle containing blood orbs.
Although it wasn't anything much, it should be able to fix him up a bit.
After which, he continued to search through the pile of if things and only found a few devices used for scouting. Like the scanner they had used in finding him.
David swept the stuff to one corner in slight disappointment.
Breathing on slightly, he took the other bag that he found was in his hands when he woke up. He guessed it belonged to Arric since he could remember seeing it back when they had fought.
Turning it over, not a lot of things fell down t e ground this time. And only five objects dropped to the floor with thumps
One was a genetic nucleus of a beast, half the size of a baby's fist. The second was a large wolf fur that seem nothing special at all on first sight. The third item was a large wolf fang that shone with a luminescence light that made it look very special and mysterious.
The fourth object was a box which had a large pill in it the size of a baby's fist while the fifth object was a book made of a special material.
David's eyes was at first fixated on the genetic nucleus since that could help speed up his rate of healing.
But then, as he opened the box containing the large pill, the aroma hooked him and his eyes glowed brightly as his mind and body instantly felt refreshed.
He could feel his injury healing at a rapid rate and was instantly delighted.
He immediately knew the pill was something special and instantly moved to swallow it immediately when he suddenly paused in his tracks.
Something in the box caught his attention. The box looked as though it had been opened and closed quite a fee number of times.
Which was what made David worried. I'd the owner of the box had the pill, why did he directly swallow it instead of opening and closing the box over and over again.
It might also be due to the fact that the person's injury wasn't always that severe but still, the opening and closing of the box would make the pill gradually lose its efficiency which will eventually spoil the entire medicine and it wouldn't work anymore.
Which finally lead to one conclusion, the drug isn't meant to be directly ingested. Instead, it's either meant to be inhaled directly Into the body.
Or to be placed into a large tub of water and then soaked into it.
David didn't know which method it was but he knew it wasn't to be directly Ingested.
Placing the pill back into its bod, David turned to face the other items.. He had a feeling he was had hit jackpot and he was very correct.
