    "Our alpha is already on his way," Nathaniel said, forcing himself to release the Nightshade Pack''s distress signal-a beam of silver light shot into the sky. "You sure you want to break the blood pact and start a war with us?"


    At those words, Evan''s pheromones froze in the air.


    He only had one subordinate with him, a scout. If Landon showed up, he wouldn''t stand a chance.


    And if this sh was officially deemed a challenge, he would have vited the blood pact. Every werewolf in Montedra would turn against him and the Thornbane Pack until they were wiped out....


    Evan bit down, his canine tearing open his lower lip. Blood flooded his mouth. In the end, he gave a furious wave of his hand. "We''re leaving!"


    As he turned away, his ws left five charred gashes on the wall-a mark of the Thornbane Pack''s rage.


    He still couldn''t fight Landon openly. But that was fine. One day, he would take Landon''s ce as the alpha king of Montedra, and make him bow at his feet!


    Only after the pheromones fully dispersed did Nathaniel sink to the ground, gasping for breath. "Damn... an S-rank alpha''s pressure really hits hard..."


    He wiped off his sweat, told the uninjured werewolf warriors to help the injured to treatment, then called Landon.


    He hadn''t actually released the Nightshade Pack''s distress signal earlier-it had all been a bluff to scare Evan off.


    With the blood pact in ce, he was sure Evan wouldn''t dare start a fight in Navoris.


    As soon as the call connected, Nathaniel started boasting like usual. "Alpha, you have no idea how amazing I was just now! I drove the Thornbane Pack''s alpha away all by myself..."


    "He caused trouble again?" Landon, freshly showered, frowned deeply at Nathaniel''s words.


    "No, he was probably here for Phantom too. I just said a few words and scared him off. You should''ve seen him bolt-it was hrious..."


    Landon rxed a bit, sensing nothing serious had happened. “Mm. Anything else?"


    "Alpha, are you really noting? I''m already at the Lightwing Order headquarters. If you don''te, I''m going up to find Phantom myself."


    Landon replied coolly, "You think you''ll actually see Phantom if you go up? After chasing Phantom this long, you still don''t know how well they hide?"


    "Alpha, just watch! This time I''m definitely meeting Phantom!"


    Nathaniel hung up, unwilling to give up. He picked a few men to go up into the building with him.


    But once they got upstairs, all they saw was the sleek interior design-there was no sign of Phantom.

    "Beta, we really don''t know what happened. This is definitely the Lightwing Order''s base! There''s no way it''spletely empty..."


    They were innocent-truly, utterly innocent.


    Nathaniel walked around, checking every corner.


    "No one is allowed to touch anything in here. This stuff belongs to Phantom."


    “Beta, it''s just a fewputers...."


    "What do you mean just a fewputers? Is theputer the point? The point is who uses thoseputers!"


    Nathaniel was a diehard Phantom fan..


    When it came to Phantom''s skills, he had nothing but absolute admiration.


    And then there was Cameron-the only other hacker who dared to see Phantom


    as a rival. If he hadn''t been assigned elsewhere tonight by the alpha, he would''ve definitelye too.


    "We won''t touch anything, not a thing," his subordinates quickly promised. Nathaniel really did want to boot up one of thoseputers and see what kind of secrets they held.


    But remembering they belonged to Phantom, and that he might need Phantom''s help in the future, he didn''t dare push his luck.


    In the end, he simply posted guards to protect Phantom''s assets...


    Tessa had slept fitfully all night.


    When she woke up, Lina was already calling again.


    "Phantom, someone else showed up behind the Lightwing Order. No one dares to touch our stuff now."


    "Who?"


    "Nightshade Pack''s beta, Nathaniel." One big shot after another was showing up!


    Hearing it was Nathaniel, Tessa cared even less. "Oh, got it. Find something for Evan to do, will you? If he''s too bored, he''ll juste looking for trouble."
