This was the first time Alpha Henry had worn an all–black suit. It accentuated his tall, imposing frame and sharp, defined features, giving him a cold, forbidding aura. His appearance alone awed the entire crowd.
“Go on. Why don’t you continue?”
His low, pleasant voice held an underlying pressure. Alpha Henry looked at the man, who had clearly been bought, a flash of contempt in his eyes.
“Many werewolf packs are hoping for internal discord in Shadowmoon Pack so they can profit. from it. This time, with an incident like this, just from the news I’ve received, quite a few opportunists have bought off some unprincipled people to fan the flames, attempting to disrupt public morale. Seeing you making such a scene, I think it’s very necessary to check your
accounts.”
The restless mood of the crowd was strangely subdued by his commanding presence. Compared to his former, diamond–like brilliance, the Henry of today was far more composed -like a pearl with a subdued luster, yet impossible to ignore.
However, hearing him say this, the man who had been dragged up grew anxious!
“You bunch of bullies! What right do you have to check my accounts? What’s wrong friend suddenly giving me money for business? Don’t you dare slander me!”

Alpha Henry smiled at his foolishness. “So, a large sum of money did suddenly appear in your
accounts?”
He crooked his finger. “Send him to the werewolf security office. Have them investigate him thoroughly.”
“Yes, sir.” The beta soldiers behind Alpha Henry moved immediately, dragging the man away despite his shouting.
Making an example of him was very effective, but for those family members genuinely worried about their relatives‘ safety, their emotions were still difficult to control!
“My child was harmed for no reason! Doesn’t the Alpha intend to give us an explanation for
this?!”
“That’s right… My son is only eighteen, just an adult, and now…” An old father began to sob. Even if those bastards from the South did this, the Alpha was still the root cause. So, they could only turn to the Alpha for accountability.

But the situation was already much better than expected. Alpha Henry gave a signal. The prisoners on stage were taken away and locked up again. Soon, he was the only one left on stage. He faced the crowd, pressure from all sides converging on him alone, as they waited to see what he would say.
“I understand how you all feel. An incident like this has happened, and I am in as much pain as everyone, because the person I love most is also suffering from this virus, just like your relatives. But I am not worried, because I have a solution.”
He pressed the remote, and a boy appeared on the large screen behind him. Medical staff bustled in the background. The boy turned his head to the camera and said, “Mom, my head doesn’t hurt anymore! I’m better…”
“That… That!” The boy’s family immediately rushed to the front of the stage. “That’s my son! My son is better?!”
Alpha Henry continued to press the button, and several other people appeared in succession. They were still under observation, but they were able to report the good news to their families through the camera.
After being injected with the antibody from the Miguel family, a few of the hundred–plus people whose fevers had broken woke up. So, when Henry got the news, he immediately had them film a video to send over. There was no better proof than them waking up.
After the video paused, those family members dropped their banners and rushed to the very front.
“Where’s my daughter? Why isn’t my daughter there?!”
“Are they really better? If they’re better, why aren’t you releasing them?”
“Didn’t you say infection with the Kajit virus was a death sentence? Are you
