The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 308

Chapter 308: Chapter 308 A Trap?

Elric’s expression hardened as the implications sank in. "Wait... then using this biochemical agent won’t just destroy the land. Wouldn’t it actually create the perfect nursery for demons to spawn and thrive?" His voice bristled with alarm as the pieces fell into place. "This isn’t just about turning a territory barren; it could become a breeding ground for demons."

"Don’t you think this is just a little too perfect, too coincidental?" Addison suddenly spoke, her tone low as her gaze dropped into deep thought. "First the locust swarm, and now this biochemical agent... doesn’t it feel like the faction behind this has been aiming for this outcome from the very beginning?"

Her eyes narrowed as the thought deepened. "Then... does that mean Leon already knew? Or was he merely being used to deliver this agent to us?" she murmured, her words heavy with suspicion.

When her voice faded, silence fell over the room. Everyone’s faces darkened, the weight of her question pressing down on them, most of all the Alpha King, whose expression grew stormy.

"This is not looking good," Elric muttered, brushing his beard with a trembling hand. Even he, who was usually composed, couldn’t hide the nervous edge creeping into his voice.

"Investigate..." the Alpha King growled, his clenched jaw trembling with stormy anger. Just the thought of some hidden faction plotting to trap them made his blood boil. And who else could it be but the very same faction that once tried to abduct Addison?

The ones who seemed determined to drag them all into hell, for what purpose, he could no longer grasp.

He had thought he already understood their enemies, that he had unraveled their schemes. Yet each time, they threw another curveball, forcing him to rewrite everything he believed about the faction lurking in the shadows.

It was as if they had been silently guiding him and his people toward the edge of a cliff, step by step, without anyone realizing it.

They had always believed they were making progress, that their struggles, their sacrifices, and their defenses at least gave them a measure of protection. But if Addison’s words were true, then all of it was nothing more than a cruel joke.

In the eyes of their enemies, hadn’t they just been clowns, flailing desperately while being led by the nose? No matter what moves they made, the outcome had already been decided... and it was always the same.

Seeing her father’s face harden with anger, Addison hurried to soothe him. "Father, please, don’t let this eat at your health. What I suggested was only a possibility. If our enemies truly set this trap, they wouldn’t be limited to one method; whether they sent the biochemical or not, they’d find other ways to sow chaos."

"Right now, we need to follow the leads. If Leon and the Tigren Clan are working with them, we’ll confront the whole lot together. If Leon was only used to deliver the agent, then we trace it back and find out when this plan began and who’s behind it."

"Let them enjoy their victory for a short while, make them think they’ve won. We’ll follow the trail while they’re distracted, then hit them when we find them. But we must be careful: we don’t even know who we can trust. As for Leon..." she paused, the doubt clear on her face; she didn’t yet know what to make of him.

"Anyway, Royal Alchemist Malveric — you said you’re missing a key ingredient for the treatment formula?" Addison steered the conversation, mindful of the heavy mood in the room.

Continuing to dwell on the mystery would only inflame her father’s anger, and they were already knee-deep in crisis. For now, she would focus on solving the immediate problem; the hunt for the mastermind could wait.
