Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Anthony's POV:

After listening to Amelia's story, Jennifer and I seethed with rage.l hated Larry more than ever in that moment.

We quickly excused ourselves and said goodbye to my mother.

As soon as we stepped outside her room, we all hurried to the meeting room.

When we got there, we found that Roy was already inside waiting for us.

He looked up when we entered and greeted us warmly.

"It's good to see you, Mr.and Mrs.Jones,” Roy said.

"My friends will be here soon.” I nodded and gestured at Amelia and Morgan.

"They will join our meeting.Amelia knows Larry well, so I think she can help us.”

Then, we all settled into our seats at the table.

Jennifer and I sat at the head of the table, waiting for the other wizards to arrive.

We didn't have to wait long.

A few minutes later, they started to trickle in.

"Good day, Mr.and Mrs.Jones."

The first one to arrive was Cynthia.

She greeted us respectfully as soon as she entered the room.

Then she chose the seat next to Roy.

"Glad to see you, Roy."

I looked at him sympathetically. knew how he felt.

He loved Amelia so much that he wasn't going to let her take any risks—it was just like how Anthony was with me.

Previously, he refused to let me go with him to the snow mountain because he was scared I would get hurt.

But right now, we had no other choice.

Larry was very powerful.

If we didn't seize any leads to defeat him, he would eventually take back Amelia, sooner or later.I wanted to comfort Morgan, but before I could say anything, Amelia suddenly spoke up.

"Morgan, as long as it means we can defeat Larry, I'm willing to be the bait!" Amelia declared firmly. "Mr.Jones, can you tell me what you need me to do?"

Seeing how determined Amelia was, Morgan didn't say anything more.He simply looked at her worriedly.

Anthony nodded.

"Amelia, I think we should give Larry a taste of his own medicine.l want you to drug him and let him know what it feels like to be powerless.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the wizards broke into discussion.

"But Mr.Jones, Larry is also an expert when it comes to magic medicine.He will undoubtedly be able to see it coming if we try to poison him."

Cynthia voiced her concerns.

"What if we use a magic medicine that he has never seen before?" I said.

"That way, he won't see it coming.”

Cynthia was obviously stunned.

"That just might work.But developing a new magic medicine is no easy feat.”

Just then, Morgan stood up abruptly and announced, "What a coincidence! I've been wondering how to deal with Larry so I started experimenting with magic medicine.I'm currently developing one that can make a wizard gradually lose his magic energy, weakening him until he can't use witchcraft at all. The best part is, this magic medicine has no color or smell, so it will be difficult to detect.”

I gasped in surprise.

"Really? That would be amazing! It's just what we need to defeat Larry!"

Morgan didn't look that optimistic, though.

"But I haven't completed it yet.Besides, Larry's black magic is very powerful.I'm not sure I'll be able to hide it from him."

"It's still worth a shot," Cynthia said encouragingly.

"As far as I know, Larry is a proud man.He probably thinks he's an expert when it comes to all the magic medicine.If we can develop a new magic medicine, he might not recognize it and it will be difficult for him to guard himself against it."

"She's right,” Amelia said, looking at Morgan excitedly.

"Honey, what they're saying makes sense.l need to look for an opportunity to drug Larry." Morgan finally acquiesced.

"Then I'll do my best to complete the magic medicine.”

"Don't worry.I'm interested in magic medicine myself and am more than willing to help you,” Roy said hurriedly.

"I'll help you, too.The more the merrier!"

Cynthia and the wizards also pledged their support.

I was glad to see everyone putting their minds together to help Amelia.Now, we had a better chance of defeating Larry.
