Chapter 59

“Let her go.”

Janet said freezingly, staring at the hand Baron put on Maxie’s shoulder.

Baron spat at her, “What the fu ck does this have to do with you? Go mind your own business, Janet. This is my soldier!”

“I won’t stand here and watch you bully her. Take your hand off her, right now!” Janet persisted sternly.

Baron laughed, raising his voice for everyone near them to hear, “This is new! The Gamma of Blood Moon Pack is giving me orders now! Do you want to stage a coup, Janet? Or do you think that we Riverside Pack’s soldiers are so below you that we need to start listening to you now?”

Baron was very good at shifting focus.

From a peripheral look, Janet found many Riverside Pac’s soldiers glaring at her.

“This is very typical of Janet,” Owen said with a strange laugh. “She thinks she is so above everyone. She is always right. And she is the center of the whole wide world.” The two burst into laughter together.

Yet Janet ignored them.

“You know what I am talking about, Baron.”

She stepped forward and whispered in a warning voice.

“I know what you did…This is your final chance to come clean. Don’t toss it away.”

Baron snorted. He leaned forward as well and grinned, flashing his mouth full of bad

teeth.

“Oh yeah? What did I do exactly?” he provoked. “And do you have any proofs?”

Janet’s face turned cold.

Here was the problem-she didn’t have any proofs.

And Baron saw right through that.

Seeing the frustrated look on Janet’s face, Baron beamed even brighter. His hand. traveled down to Maxie’s butt and grabbed a handful of it.

“Maxie, Gamma Janet seemed to be defending you against me. Now, do tell her-Am I treating you unjustly?” Baron crackled.

Maxie’s body was stiff like a board.

She held her head down as though she was going through some unsufferable humiliations.

It took her a long moment to whisper, “…No.”

“Louder!” Baron cried, “Let Gamma Janet hear this clearly!”

“No! I am not being mistreated!” said Maxie loudly.

When Janet looked at her, she saw glitters of tears in her eyes.

“And is Gamma Baron a good leader or what!” Owen demanded rudely. “Tell Janet-loud and clear!”

“Yes. And I am…very lucky…to follow…Gamma Baron’s lead,” answered Maxie in a shaky voice.

Wrath and indignation were all Janet could feel right now.

She clenched her fists and was ready to throw them at Baron’s face. But Maxie looked up and shoot her a warning look.

She gave Janet a small shook of her head.

“Alright, I guess this is settled then.” Baron stretched his back and hocked his arm around Owen’s neck, “You interested in an iced cold beer, man?”

“Hell yeah!” Owen laughed.

Baron whistled and beckoned Maxie as though he is calling to a dog, “Hustle up, Maxie!”

Maxie quickly wiped the corner of her eyes and turned to follow them.

When she passed by Janet’s side, she whispered in a voice that was only audible to the two of them:

“Back down from this…for you own good, Gamma Janet.”

Then she ran off.

Janet remained on the spot, staring at their back.

She didn’t

But Baron and Owen left her with no choice.

They were two vicious and vindictive pieces of trash. Fighting side by side with them was like suicide, especially when they were facing the rogues.

“Oh my god!”

With a loud cry, Balvina rushed over from the distance and gasped, “I just saw everything! What the hell just happened?”

Janet breathed out a frustrating sigh and said icily, “You just witnessed how Baron bullied Maxie. And I bet this happens everything single day in her life.”

“God, I don’t get it. Why didn’t her fight back?”

Balvina crossed her arms and sighed sadly.

“That scumbag Baron is weak like a baby chick. I can crush his throat with one hand. Maxie is so much stronger than he is.”

“Maybe Maxie is concerned about his power,” Janet said.

“But you said you would help her, right? Even a maid like Angelina was brave enough to step out and challenge Harper, what was holding back a strong warrior like Maxie?”

That was what baffled Janet too.

Maxie seemed like the strong and determined type.

And she hated Baron very much.

So what was she so concerned about?

What did Baron have on her that could guarantee her loyalty?

“Wait a second,” Janet said abruptly, “Do you remember what Harper threatened Angelina with?”

“Umm…With her family?”

Balvina paused and her eyes gleamed with excitement.

“Right! Baron probably did the same thing to Maxie! He controlled her through her families!”

Janet pulled her phone out and texted Daran immediately.

[Janet: Does Maxie have any families?]

[Daran: Yeah, I think so. Her parents and two siblings. Want me to replace where they are at?]

[Janet: Please do.]

Moments later, Daran’s message came in again.

[Daran: Seems like that they moved to another city 3 years ago. No one had seen them recently. Is something wrong about this?]

“3 years ago was when Baron’s father died.”

Janet looked up from the text and said to Balvina, “And that must be when Baron

started controlling Maxie with her families. I need to talk to Daran. We must replace her

families first!”

“I am coming with you!” Balvina cried.

Together, they left the training field hastily.

***

Maxie followed Baron and Owen into the warehouse.

She kept her head down low and went to tidy those training tools.

But she was kicked to the ground from the back. Then another kick landed on her stomach, and she heard Baron’s furious voice on the top of her head:

“What the fu ck did you say to that bitch Janet? Have you forgotten all about your families? Do you want to see your brother skinned alive? Or do you want your little sister end up in a fu cking whorehouse?”

“No…No!”

Maxie cried and struggled to sit up, grabbing Baron’s pants.

“I—I didn’t tell her anything. I would never betray you, Gamma Baron. Please don’t hurt my families…”

Owen gave a hard kick on her shoulder, knocking her back to the floor again.

“Keep your hands off the Gamma, you filthy tramp!” he snarled.

Maxie bit her lips harshly.

She could easily take the both of them down if she wanted to.

But she couldn’t.

Not with her families still in his hands.

She hadn’t seen her families for 3 years. She didn’t even know where they were at right now. Baron only let her video chat with them when he was in a good mood.

So she couldn’t get him mad.

Maxie curled her body up and suffered without a sound as Owen punched and kicked her like a punching back.

When he finally finished venting it out, Owen panted and paced to Baron’s side, who was sitting on a desk and enjoying this scene the whole time.

Maxie coughed and she could taste blood in her mouth.

Bruise and wounds hurt like hell.

She had to grit her teeth tightly to stifle groans of pain.

Pulling her upper body up from the floor, Maxie crawled to Baron and grabbed his pants again.

“Gamma Baron…it has been 3 weeks since I last talked to my family…” she said. weakly, “So can you… let me talk to them?”

“How dare you!” Owen snapped, “Haven’t you caused the Gamma enough trouble in one day?”

Baron crackled, “It is OK, Owen. She is a greedy bitch. I am quite used to that

already.”

He dusted his pants with one hand and put his left foot on Maxie’s knee.

“See that little dirt on my shoe?” Baron grinned malevolently, “If you can clean the dirt using your tongue, I might consider your request.”
