The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 170

Greg was genuinely shocked at the old couple’s revelation but the Duke nonetheless shook Lord Kylton’s hand as he told his animal, “Please tell me he’s joking.” His animal prompted him to keep the conversation going with Lord Kylton to learn more about what they didn’t know.

Greg narrowed his eyes in suspicion and asked the old man, “What’s the customer code I have to cite in transactions?”

His Lordship seemed impressed and said, “Good thing I checked that this morning. 130996GC_LC. Access name: Chameleon. But I’ll admit right now that we’ve never spoken over the phone in your transactions, your Grace. We have our customers’ personal information but the uh…rogue Alpha handles the communications and customers’…requests.”

So, Greg had been communicating with only the manager of the rogue corporation this whole time, not its founders. Greg nodded as he intemalized this fact, and released Lord Kylton’s hand as he muttered, “A very successful business you have.”

Lord Kylton patted Greg on the shoulder like a friend, and Greg tried to mask his discomfort and urge to tear the man to shreds. Unless he was having sex, no one had the right to touch Greg Claw.

“Well, your Grace. You must take some credit for our success. We had the idea of taking government funds after the King wrongfully refused our daughter’s hand but we didn’t have a link, someone who could provide us with the necessary access and individuals who could be our patsies. You were that link, your Grace. You gave us the ministers’ names and told us who to target, asking nothing but a small commission in return For that, we cannot thank you enough.”

His wife added, “It would’ve been difficult to get those ministers and Helena here to help us in our plan if we didn’t have you to encourage them to join us, your Grace, seeing that we wished to remain

anonymous.”

Greg admitted, “To be very honest, I thought I was helping someone less…” he looked around the sophisticated interior design of the

dining room before he continued, “wealthy.”

The Kyltons chuckled at Greg’s remark, seeing it as a compliment. Lord Kylton explained, “Well, I suppose we hid it well, since someone as experienced as you in this line of work didn’t suspect that we were the ones you’ve been doing business with this whole time.”

“I have to agree.” Greg readily confessed “How did you know I would help you though?”

Lady Kylton explained, “When we heard that you were angered with your cousins, both of them, as were we, no doubt for different reasons, we saw an opportunity to work together. But we also wanted to be careful seeing that you share blood relations with the King, who we wanted to…take something from, just as how he took our daughter’s heart and broke it with no remorse.”

“So, for the broken heart, you just wanted money from the government?” Greg asked, somewhat disappointed that the founder of the successful rogue corporation was instituted based on nothing but a broken heart, and continued to blossom with nothing more than wanting more money which the founders clearly DID NOT NEED.

Greg used to think that Wu Bi Corp’s mission and ultimate goal was something more stellar and jaw- dropping, like to recruit enough rogues to overthrow the Kingdom, or to expand its business and join forces with vampires to start another war against the law-abiding Lycans and werewolves. Well, now that Lucianne was in the picture Greg didn’t want those things anymore but still, siphoning money to establish a rogue corporation only to siphon more money seemed…lame.

The Kyltons were actually telling him that their rogue business was to ‘take something from’ his cousin just because their creature -repelling daughter was heartbroken?

First, the Moon Goddess made him fall in love with a phenomenal woman that he couldn’t get. Now, he was told that his anti government hero was this lame family? Greg was even beginning to question whether he was awake, lucid and sober. It felt like a long, bad dream after too many hours of over- drinking. 1

“Money was never the goal for my heartbreak, your Grace.” Kelissa noted with discontent. “I love Xandar but he hurt me. So, the goal was to hurt him back. You see, when we were close…”

“Kylton, get real. You two were never close.” Greg retorted mercilessly, and heard Sasha snort at his remark.

Kelissa threw her a glare, making Sasha fall silent. The minister’s daughter knew better than to anger the heiress who promised to throw her back into prison if she broke the terms of their agreement.

After taking a deep breath, Kelissa’s partially-onyx eyes fixed on the Duke as she spoke in suppressed rage, “I hope you know that I’m tolerating your impertinence because you’ve helped build my parents’ business, your Grace.”

“And I hope you know that believing in an illusion instead of the truth would put you further away from your goal, not nearer to it, Kylton.”

don’t have to make him believe that you and Xandar were close. Y

‘WE WERE CLOSE! I WAS THE CLOSEST THING HE HAD TO A GIRLFRIEND, A SIGNIFICANT OTHER!

Her father then linked, ‘We know that, sweetheart. But remember, the goal is Xạndar, not this Duke. Just let him think he’s right. W e need his cooperation.’ 1

‘He’s such a pain in the ast’Kelissa complained.

Lord Kylton then made an interesting and viable suggestion, ‘If you are still unhappy with how he’s behaving when all this ends,

Realization dawned on the two women, and Lady Kylton stroked her husband’s hand as she linked, ‘What a clever idea, my love.’ Kelissa linked as she smirked, ‘Killing the wolf will definitely teach this Duke to never mess with the Kyltons, especially when it comes to ME! Alright, I’ll just play along for now. When the dust settles, he’s going to regret speaking to me like how he just did.”

When their eyes cleared, almost everyone sat still as they waited for one of the Kyltons to speak. Greg was the only one munching o n his toast as he asked casually, “Emergency family conference?” 1

Bearing in mind what her parents had just told her, Kelissa forced a smile, the one Greg found to be sinister, before she said, “Let’s just say I’m being asked to be nice to my guest.”

Greg nodded as he said, “Good advice.” It really humored his animal when he noticed Kelissa’s agitation, which only lasted for a brief second

The heiress replayed the end goal and took a deep breath, then she continued her tale, “Anyway, as I was saying, Xandar had always talked about how much he wanted to make a difference as a King, and work all those hours just to make it happen. So, I just knew that if I did something to hurt the Kingdom, it’d hurt him, too. Our family’s plan was to take government funds until the government went bankrupt.” 2

Greg nodded in understanding and prompted, “I’m hoping that’s not the end goal?”

He said that because it was clear from the Kyltons smug faces that there was more they hadn’t told him yet. And it was evident
