Chapter 76: A Common Enemy
“This is great!” Tania exclaimed.
In the hospital room, Tania was still pretending to be Fiona, her expression twisted and sinister. She had been staying in this room every day, and Tania felt like she was losing her mind.
Tania’s wounds had scabbed over, and some scabs had already fallen off, indicating that she was on the road to recovery.
“Janice, are you sure about this?” Putnam looked at Janice.
Janice had a smug smile on her face, feeling that her wishes were about to come true.
“I heard Kassandra say it herself,” Janice replied. “In front of everyone, she decided to sever ties with The Iron Star Pack.”
“That’s wonderful,” Tania said, grinning at Putnam. If the McGo Family decided to cut ties with The Iron Star Pack, it would make Cyril the person everyone wanted to avoid.
“Tania, we’ll be able to take over this place soon,” Putnam said, a victorious smile on his face.
“I can’t believe The Iron Star Pack dared to attack our family members,” Janice said, her eyes revealing confusion.
Even though she didn’t know much about Cyril, she had heard about his combat abilities. Sneak attacks were not his style; he wouldn’t stoop to such childish tricks. To become the Alpha of the world’s largest Pack, he must be a careful thinker.
Even if this had nothing to do with Cyril and was just the action of a member within his Pack, it was enough to provoke Kassandra into declaring war on Cyril. The McGo Family had always maintained a neutral stance and wouldn’t get involved in any wars. If anyone was likely to do something foolish, Janice thought it might be Tania, but she was in a working partnership with her now.
“Janice, we have a common enemy now,” Putnam said. If Cyril was isolated, it would be an opportunity for The Dust and Frost Pack and The Tallinn Pack to attack. They hoped to occupy The Iron Star Pack as quickly as possible.
Tania couldn’t suppress her laughter. “Cyril wouldn’t do such a thing because it was my people who attacked McGo Family.”
Tania was surprised at how well Sheila had carried out the plan. Sheila was indeed a capable assistant. Although Kassandra hadn’t paid a price for this, it indirectly fueled her dissatisfaction with Cyril, losing the support of the McGo Family. Cyril was going to be under attack from everyone.
After saying this, Tania noticed the disbelieving looks from Putnam and Janice.
“Tania,” Putnam grabbed Tania’s arm, his eyes filled with anger.
Janice, on the other hand, had stood up directly from her chair, her mouth wide open, glaring at Tania in disbelief. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
She had thought that members of The Iron Star Pack had attacked Malissa’s farm, but it turned out that it was Tania who had sent people.
“Tania, are you serious?” Janice furrowed her brow, her voice icy. “Did you do all of this?”
“Janice, I just wanted Kassandra to pay for what she’s done,” Tania realized that she had spoken out of turn. She shouldn’t have mentioned this in front of Janice, especially since Putnam didn’t know she had sent Sheila to attack McGo Family members.
“So, you chose to attack my people?” Janice was furious.
“I told you not to do this,” Putnam restrained his anger and spoke softly.
“I told you, I just don’t like Kassandra. She’s the one who’s made me like this,” Tania responded, her face not looking good.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
If it weren’t for Kassandra, she wouldn’t have endured that kind of suffering. Just the thought of those cursed herbs made Tania want to personally kill Kassandra.
Leaning back in the chair, panic flashed in Putnam’s eyes. Even if Janice detested Kassandra, she was still a member of the McGo Family, and Putnam didn’t believe Janice could accept all of this.
“But you attacked my family,” Janice glared fiercely at Tania. A real madwoman, indeed.
Janice had always thought Tania was just ruthless, and since they were working partners, they should have a unified front. Yet Tania had gone behind her back and sent people to attack her family.
“Listen, Janice, I know you’re angry right now,” Tania fell silent for a moment, then spoke slowly, “I’m sorry.”
“Whatever you say now doesn’t matter. I’m ending our partnership,” Janice put on her wide-brimmed black hat, the fire of fury still glinting in her eyes.
She might work with Tania for her purposes, but Tania shouldn’t have harmed her family.
Janice adjusted the belt of her black robe and headed toward the door to leave the hospital room.
“Janice,” Putnam anxiously spoke. If he lost Janice’s support, they would struggle against Cyril.
Even if Janice’s capabilities were not as great as Kassandra’s, she was still a part of the McGo Family, a witch respected by both werewolves and vampires.
“Don’t you want to secure the position of power?” Tania calmly said.
Upon hearing this, Janice halted, looking down, contemplating. No one desired to become the leader of the McGo Family more than her. She worked so hard to attain that position.
A smile appeared on Tania’s face. “Isn’t this a great opportunity? If Kassandra breaks away from Cyril, they might engage in conflict at any time.”
“What are you suggesting?” Janice turned back, looking at Tania again.
“What if Kassandra dies in battle?” Tania lifted her head, locking eyes with Janice.
“That would leave the position of power vacant,” Janice slowly responded, a peculiar glint in her eyes.
If the McGo Family went to war with The Iron Star Pack, and Kassandra, as the leader, surely intervened, if Kassandra died in combat, it would open the position of power. Representatives would swiftly elect a new leader to replace Kassandra.
“At that time, The Tallinn Pack can help you,” Tania assured, expressing her sincerity. “We’ll be everlasting partners.”
Tania’s words were undeniably appealing. The attack on Malissa’s farm by Tania was indeed infuriating for Janice. However, considering Malissa’s strong connection to Kassandra, Tania might have considered this, which led to her decision to attack Malissa and her two daughters.
“What do you want to do?” Janice asked. At that moment, the position of power was more important than any of her other clan members.
“When Kassandra declares her separation from The Iron Star Pack, we will send our people into The Iron Star Pack, ready for combat at any time,” Tania’s face already showed a smile of triumph.
“Tania, if you back out, I swear, I’ll personally twist your head off,” Janice coldly smirked. Her trust in Tania had greatly diminished.
“Janice, I promise I won’t let her go off the rails,” Putnam chimed in at the right time; he knew Janice was still furious.
“I will tell you everything,” a glint of coldness flashed in Tania’s eyes. She really despised these witches, but she had to cooperate with them. Witches possessed formidable magic that would be instrumental in securing a quick victory. Even the king didn’t dare to easily offend these witches. Tania hated herself for not having such a powerful position.
Janice snorted and then left the hospital room.
After Janice’s departure, Tania retracted her gaze, her face filled with a smile.
“You kept it from me,” Putnam sat in the chair, staring coldly at Tania. Janice had left, and he didn’t need to advocate for Tania anymore.
“I asked you, and you declined,” Tania spoke, not intentionally hiding it from Putnam, but he didn’t agree with her approach.
“So you attacked members of the McGo Family without my knowledge. You’re utterly insane,” Putnam wanted to roar but realized they were in a hospital room, and the person before him wasn’t Tania but Fiona.
Tania raised her head, gazing at Putnam and spoke softly, “Didn’t you also deploy those people trained by the king?”
Upon hearing that, a hint of fear appeared in Putnam’s eyes. Just thinking about the masked man he had seen that night made his heart race. The man had saved Hazel, and maybe he would report it to the king. He could have killed Hazel but missed the opportunity.
“Putnam, I don’t want to argue with you,” Tania rubbed her forehead; dealing with Janice had already drained her.
Putnam glanced at Tania, then sighed in the end.
“We must inform the king about this,” Putnam said. McGo Family was about to sever ties with The Iron Star Pack. Perhaps this was a good opportunity. He didn’t know the king’s true intentions, but he still needed the king’s help.
