章 418: Crashing

In the Atkinson Mansion, the ceremony was running way ahead than in the Great Hall.

There were only two contenders for the position of the Beta. Among them, one of the contenders gave up one minute into the fight.

Although nobody seemed to suspect any foul play involved, a few of the lackeys of Regulus were well aware of what had gone down a few hours before the formal inauguration of the ceremony.

As the elders of the clans didn’t show any interest in letting Regulus choose his own beta, he took matters into his own hands by threatening the candidate chosen by the others and forcing him to give up during the fight.

And since it didn’t take much time in the selection process of the Beta of the clan, Regulus and the winner of the fight, Carter, took the oath together.

As soon as Regulus finished talking with the elders to appease them, he found Jake and then dragged him to the door of the hall. And he informed Jake, “I will head out for a while. Hold the fort for me.”
