EuropeNovelChapter 571 The Rules Break Here
Meanwhile, Ethan had successfully captured S. But after an entire night of interrogation, the man ha said a single
word.
Simon stood behind Ethan, sweat beading on his forehead. “Captain, the virus is still spreading. If we cant get
the location of the release or any clue about the antidote, more werewolves are going to die
Ethan rubbed his aching temples-he and the rest of the special ops teain hadn't slept in three days
As the enforcement arm directly under the Werewolf Council, they had their own procedures for interrogations.
But this time, they weren't dealing with a normal suspect. S had resistance skills far beyond what they'd
expected-standard methods were useless.
Just then, Landon entered with Nathaniel behind him.
“Mr. Landon,” Ethan stood and saluted, surprise flickering in his eyes.
The Alpha King of Montedra rarely got involved in judicial matters. What was he doing here?
“Hand S over to me,” Landon said plainly, eyes flicking to the one-way glass of the interrogation room.
“That's against protocol,” the deputy captain protested immediately. “Mr. Landon, we answer to the judicial
branch of the Council. You're the Alpha King of the administrative branch. We're not supposed to interfere with
each other-that’s the long-standing rule...”
Landon didn’t even look at him. His eyes locked on Ethan. “You've been at this all night. What've you learned?”
Ethan said nothing.
“Rules are dead. People aren't.” Landon’s tone dropped, cold and sharp. “By the tyou finish your protocol,
half of Montedra’s wolves will be dead.”
Ethan drew a deep breath.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe knew Landon’s reputation-and even more so, he knew the situation. The judicial and administrative arms
might have been separate, but they were two pillars of the shouse. At the edge of survival, there was no
room for stubborn formalities.
“You can take him. But only for eight hours,” Ethan said, turning to the deputy. “If something goes wrong, I'll take
the fall.”
“Ethan!”
“That's an order,” he snapped, then turned back to Landon. “Mr. Landon, | trust you wouldn't risk Montedra’s
safety.”
Landon gave a tight half-smile but/said nothing.
Nathaniel moved immediately, taking S from the room without touching any of the recording equipment- a silent
gesture of respect toward the Council's authority. Both sides understood the unspoken boundary they were now
crossing.
Once S was gone, the deputy growled, “You've just thrown yourself into the fire! If the Council d
answers-"

That's better than watching our people die to this virus; Ethan replied, staring out the wintow
the Alpha King. No one fears for Montedra more than he does.
Simon cover quietly. “Ethan, want us to rotate out for a few hours? We'll crelieve you after the eight.
“Go. Let everyone rest in shifts.” Ethan nodded. “But don’t go far. Stay reachable.”
“What about you?”
“I'm going to see the Council's oversight officer,” Ethan said, grabbing his coat. “I need to cover the paperwork
for this ‘transfer’ before it officially turns into insubordination
He had to buy Landon twhile also preserving the integrity of their legal system. Balancing both? That was on
him.
Simon watched Ethan walk away, heart heavy.
They'd joined the special forces to
protect their kind. Now all ei
do was watch the VKUS Brea and
footed prisoner who wouldn't
crack. This helplessness was worse
than staying up three nights straight.
Just as Ethan stepped out of the building, Nathaniel’s call cthrough.
“Cto the underground vault at Nightshade Pack. The Alpha wants you there.”
Ethan's pulse quickened.
The underground vault-Nightshade Pack’s most classified interrogation site. Only high treason or core- level
threats were brought there. Most didn’t even know it existed.
If Landon had called him there, this was no longer standard procedure.
When he arrived at the vault’s entrance, Nathaniel was already waiting. “Go on in. Mr. Landon said to let you
watch. Don't just stand around.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInside, the vault was more austere than he'd imagined. Cold lights embedded in stone walls lit the corridor. The
air was heavy with the scent of disinfectant and metal-sterile, brutal, and final.
Through the one-way glass of the
interrogation chamber, Ethan saw

Landon raised his eyes, gaze sharp as ice. “In the special ops unit, you were under the Council's rules. Here? The
rules are mine.”
