Chapter 619: Not Necessarily Human

Yarin’s POV:
Only some people in the werewolf community agreed to open up. Many people were already used to the false prosperity of hiding in their shells, and they retorted with conviction, “It has already been like this for thousands of years, and nothing has happened. Could it be that a disaster will come as it pleases? We have never interfered with humans. If the humans dare to attack us, aren’t they afraid that their people will die?”
It sounded very reasonable, but the present was different from the past. In the past, fragile swords could not be compared to sharp claws and wolf fangs, but what were humans holding in their hands now?
Moreover, human technology was indeed helpful. There was no doubt about it.
Werewolves needed to make themselves stronger through communication, not become domesticated dogs that others could kill at will. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝑐𝑜𝘮
Opponents were few, but supporters were many. Among them, a sufficient number of opportunists planned to take advantage of this trend to get some benefits for themselves. Most of these benefits were neither formal nor legal, such as human trafficking and smuggling.
Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but think of the children I saw that night. They might have been kidnapped and then turned into ‘smuggled goods’. This was enough to show how dirty and evil these transactions were and how much death they deserved for the Lily of the Valley led to all of these.
“What are you thinking about?” Heller suddenly asked. Not until then did I find that I was lost in a daze. He was already by my side.
“I was thinking about the children I saw that night. They were so young, looking only four or five years old. Would they be afraid? Are their parents and families still heartbroken, hoping their children would return safely one day?”
“Oh…” Heller nodded as he remained silent. After a while, he seemed to want to say something to me, but the doctor just happened to enter and stopped.
Heller’s injury was still the same, and Sisley was still out of reach. This was the norm in the past ten years. Even if our mother sent someone to him, he couldn’t be found every time.
I didn’t like Heller’s older brother. He never cared about Heller and was very unreliable.
After the doctor left, I asked Heller what he wanted to tell me. He stammered, “About those children, I think I have to tell you the truth, Yarin.”
“What truth?”
But he fell silent again, making me realize that what he would say next would not be pleasant.
He seemed to be struggling to organize his words. “On the day of the Moonlight Festival, I stayed in the tent all the time, so I heard the adults talking. Aunt Eve was there at that time. Wasn’t she in charge of the investigation of the smuggling case? She must have made some progress, so she came to report to Mom.
“Her voice wasn’t loud, and the tent wasn’t very quiet, so I only heard a few words intermittently. She said that the wounds on the children’s bodies…They were cut open when they were alive. Some of the DNA belonging to those children was found in the illegal drugs, so… Their skin was probably cut open while they were still alive, and their innards were gouged out before they were filled with illegal drugs.”
1 was stunned.
It wasn’t that 1 didn’t understand the madness of the Lily of the Valley. It was impossible to imagine how cruel the criminals could be.
However, what Heller told me was beyond my imagination.
How could someone use such cruel torture on children, or rather, toddlers? It was not that I naively thought criminals have much compassion, but no matter how evil a criminal was, he still had some humanity of a person. Shouldn’t he at least swing his blade at adults?
Only a pervert would swing a butcher’s knife at a child. It turned out that even a ‘huge’ mafia organization like the Lily of the Valley was just cowards who tortured children to satisfy their purpose!
Perhaps my behavior was too abnormal; Heller comforted me worriedly, “The night scene must have been a massive shock to you, but you have to know that all of this has nothing to do with you. That was a crime committed by humans against humans, and you just happened to see it. Don’t trouble yourself with this.”
“I know. Those children died a long time ago. I won’t worry about this. It’s just that I think I should reevaluate our enemies. They are not only criminals and lunatics but also sadists. They no longer have a trace of humanity.
“I think that if that’s the case, we might have to fight to the death once we face them. We can’t give them any chance to revive. They will want to kill us.”
Heller didn’t worry about me anymore. He asked, “Are you scared?”
“No, not at all,” I said. “I don’t have any concerns now. Is it the law or diplomatic relations? Who can force us to die for this bullsh*t when faced with a life-and-death situation? We can kill them without scruples, and then we don’t have to worry about trouble. Dead people who don’t talk.”
Heller smiled. “Don’t talk big, buddy. We don’t know how to leave this ward yet.”
But there was no smile in his eyes. He knew that I had already thought of a way..
