329 On Another Topic

I looked at Michael stubbornly.

I was not afraid of the danger that Michael spoke of. I believed that all dangers were hidden in the dark. They were maggots that couldn’t be in the light and could only reach out their evil hands in the dark corners.

As normal people, we stood under the sun and were fearless of any challenge.

It was enough as long as I could confirm that the person beside me was Michael.

“Alright, I came here today to stalk a group of people. In fact, I’ve been keeping an eye on them for a long time. They hold power in the royal family, but the people hiding behind them are even more dangerous. We suspect that they will make big moves.”

“You guys?”

Michael looked at me deeply. “Brandon and me.”

The night wind blew past the treetops, and the birds flew away resentfully after circling the branches, taking away a touch of moonlight.

I was waiting for Michael to continue, but he unexpectedly started another topic, “Do you remember that I told you before that Brandon has been the king’s heir since a long time ago?

“In fact, after I awakened the Golden Wolf, there was another voice in the royal family. They wanted me to compete with Brandon, and the winner would get the throne. However, my father rejected everyone’s proposal and has always treated Brandon as his only heir. He only sent me to do various overseas work.

“Don’t you think it’s weird too?” Michael looked up at me.

I didn’t understand why Michael suddenly brought this up, so I deliberated for a moment before saying, “Maybe your father knows that you have no intention of being in this position, or he doesn’t want to see the two of you lose your kinship because of power. No matter what, I think he still loves you.

Michael smiled and said, “The cruelty of the power struggle in the royal family is beyond your imagination. According to you, how can he be so assured that I will not kill my dear brother out of jealousy?”

“Of course, you won’t,” I blurted.

When I saw Michael’s smiling eyes, I realized I was too emotional.

“I know you’re a good person, so you wouldn’t do that. Although you look arrogant and self-righteous, not bothered by anything, I know you care a lot about the people around you. You’re taking care of everyone in your way, just like how you treat me,” I added.

Something flashed in Michael’s eyes. I saw a different emotion in them.

Then, two warm lips touched mine. His kiss was very light, and he silently poured out his love to me. I also kissed him back gently.

When we parted, I heard Michael’s low laughter. “Although I know my father is a king and won’t make a decision based on emotional factors, I’m still happy to hear you say that. My little wolf trusts me so much, even more than my parents and my brothers.”

My face turned red because of his words. Perhaps it was only because of his kiss.

I turned my head to the side to avoid looking at Michael’s mischievous face. “So why? If we are only calculating based on strength, even if Brandon is older than you, you should be on par with him.”

“You’re right. Brandon did not defeat me because of this but because Brandon has a rare special ability,” Michael said.

I recalled what Michael told me on that island.

“He gave up his position quickly because we all felt that Brandon’s special ability was the most suitable for being the Lycan King. He could avoid making wrong decisions and would be a King greater than my father.”

“What is his special ability?”

“It’s a prophecy.”

“Huh?”

“Generally speaking, the special abilities awakened by members of the royal family are mainly to strengthen the body, which is in line with the werewolves’ nature of pursuing strength. The most powerful of them is the King. But Brandon is an exception,” Michael said. “In terms of combat ability alone, Brandon is not outstanding. It is said that when he met Courtney, he was defeated by her. However, his awakened spiritual ability is too outstanding. He can foresee certain things that will happen in the future.

“To an ordinary person, this might not matter. They would only predict who they will meet and where they will go. However, as a King, it is important to know what will happen in the future. Who is loyal to him, what will cause a rebellion, and where will natural and man-made disasters happen. Brandon knows all these in advance and can quickly take the corresponding measures.

“So, when my father found out about Brandon’s special ability, he decided to make him the helmsman of the pack no matter what. He could lead our big ship to sail smoothly on the sea.”
