The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 88



He started thinking again, recalling the scene at the hospital. He did see a toddler next to that now -infertile Duchess. He thought that his distant cousin had adopted a son. But now that he thought about it, he wondered if that boy was the one Brown was after. He faced Tanner again and asked,” How was the child supposed to be eliminated?”

“O-Oleander.”

“How much?”

“I-I don’t know. B-But he said that it would be m-more than e-enough.”

Greg shook his head in disgust as he uttered demeaningly, “What a coward you are, Tanner. Lost the adults and now after their minor. An easier target, I suppose.”

She kept insisting, “I didn’t do that to the Queen. I didn’t. It wasn’t my contract. Brown was probably acting on another client’s instructions.”

“No, he wasn’t.” Greg said. “It was your instructions but it was a kill gone wrong.”.

Tanner’s red and teary eyes widened in surprise. Greg scoffed darkly again as he spoke patronizingly, “You don’t really know anything, do you, Tanner? You don’t know how to take precautions. You can’t cover your tracks. You don’t know how to avoid using poison. F*ck, you don’t even know who to hire as a proper assassin.”

He pinned her neck to the wall and said menacingly, “The child you wanted to kill is alive. You know why? Because the Queen saved him. The Queen took that Oleander knife you ordered for the child. She saved the kid, and she was rendered…” Greg took a heavy breath and his eyes glistened i nanger before he finished his sentence with the word, “…unconscious.”

Tanner’s eyes got wider and wider as she processed what Greg said. She then muttered to herself,”

No. No. No.”

Greg then said, “Tell me you weren’t stupid enough to leave a cocky note for the intended victim.” When he saw her trying to avert her guilty-looking eyes even further than they already were, he sighed in frustration as he remarked, “Hopeless.”

“Please. Spare my family. They don’t know about this. They’re innocent. Please.”

Greg tightened his grip around her neck and said, “Shut up. Here’s what you’re going to do the moment I release you. Listen very carefully and do as I say this time. Am I clear?”

She nodded without hesitation, and Greg continued, “You will go to the police and confess that you hired Brown. You will tell them that you ordered a child to be killed. And you WILL insist on the highest form of punishment from them. Not death. That’s not the highest. Torture. Whipping. Bone-breaking. Electrocution until you pass out. Those kinds of things. And no one can know that I was here. No one can know that I’m asking you to do what I’m sure you will do. If you disobey me, your sons are at my disposal, as is your mate. Do I make myself clear?”

Her face was turning paler by the second, especially when Greg listed the types of punishments that he wanted her to ask for. But when she thought about her family, she could only nod with tears streaming down her face. Greg threw her body on the ground one last time and left with his men. When they exited the compound, Greg asked his men, “Are the disabled CCTVs back on?”

“Yes, your Grace.”

“The missing part from when we were there?”

“Replaced with the copy from the previous night.”

“Good. We‘re done for the night. I’ll get your boss to disburse the funds.”

Greg only took two steps before one of them said, “Your Grace, we still have the Oleander dosage you asked for. Do you want to hold onto it or…”

“Return it to your department. If they offer a refund, you two split it. Treat it as a tip for a job well done tonight.”

“T-Thank you, your Grace. That’s very generous of you. We’ll take our leave now.” Oleander was expensive because it’s illegal and because of the tedious process to make it. So, a tip from the return of that poison was almost the amount the men were being paid for the job they were doing for Greg that night.

Greg checked his watch, and pondered on what he wanted to do next. His cousins had the real audits. Maybe not all of it but even the most recent ones can get him and the people he colluded with into a whole lot of trouble with the law. And those two are real sticklers when it came to the law so much so that they were almost blind to all the pathetically-conspicuous holes in the system.
