Everyone followed the direction of Janet’s finger. And they see the person that Janet was pointing at.
Glen.
There was a blank look on everyone’s face. After a short pause, Steven broke into laughter first.
“Are you f**king out of your mind, Janet?” he sneered in disbelief, “This is Glen for f**k’s sake! Silver
Claw’s Gamma! If you said that he is the mole, I seriously don’t know whom we can trust!”
Even Maxie frowned with disapproval, “Gamma Janet, I don’t want to doubt you and the Alpha…but I
don’t feel very comfortable with pointing fingers at our own fellows randomly. It hurts the army’s spirit.”
“I completely understand your feelings, Maxie,” Janet said softly. “I won’t accuse anyone without any
proof. So don’t worry.”
Then Janet directed her gaze at Glen, “But first…Gamma Glen, do you have anything to say about
this?”
Everyone in the room fixed their gaze upon Glen.
Glen had been sitting in his seat in silence. He slightly widened his eyes when Janet pointed her finger
at him. Then his face went back to being deadpan.
“What do you want me to say, Janet?”
Glen let out a light snort, his voice full of sarcasm.
“I fought side by side with you. I even injured myself in the last battle. I risked my life and my soldiers‘
lives to defend this city, even if this is not our hometown…If that is still not enough for you to trust me, I
don’t know what will.”
His speech carried a lot of weight and heavy emotions.
It had a strong effect on people, especially those people who traveled a long way to be here, like
Steven and Jeff.
Jeff clenched his fists with infuriation and snapped, “Alpha Daran and Gamma Janet, I demand you to
present your proofs now! Or all soldiers from Black Water Pack will be retrieved from this alliance
immediately! I will not stand here as you slander an innocent man!”
“Hear, hear!” Steven cried.
“Fair enough,” Daran nodded. “I will show you our proofs.”
He looked around the room, “Do you still have the battle plan that I gave you before this fight?”
“Yes,” Maxie said. “You said that we should keep this information to ourselves.”
“The fight is over. The battle plan is not a secret anymore. So why don’t we go around the room and
read it out loud?” Daran asked.
Still perplexed, Maxie pulled her phone out and read from the screen, “Stand by till 3
o’clock and attack the South Gate.”
The next person up was Jeff.
And he read, “Stand by till 3 o’clock and attack the West Gate.”
Daran gave him a brief nod and looked towards Steven.
Steven rolled his eyes, “Mine is basically the same, except that I am supposed to cover the East Gate.
Seriously, how does this prove anything?”
Daran ignored his attitude and looked at Glen at last, “How about you, Glen?”
“…I was supposed to attack the North Gate,” Glen answered lowly.
“Good.”
Daran stood up, his eyes gleaming coldly.
“So have you ever wondered why the rest of you received very little resistance from the West, East,
and South Gate of the Crimson Fort?”
There was a moment of silence.
Maxie blinked, “Because all rogue’s forces were gathered at the North Gate, which was Glen’s target.”
She inhaled sharply.
“Oh…I think I got it!”
“Wait, what?” Jeff still, looked confused, “You just got what? I still don’t have a damn clue about
anything!”
“It is a thinker. But try and imagine this,” Maxie explained to him. “If the rogues didn’t know about our
battle plan, how would they distribute their forces?”
“They would distribute their man forces evenly at all four gates.”
“Right.”
Maxie said with a nod.
“But that was not how things turned out. All rogue forces were gathered at the North Gate, leaving the
other three gates wide open. It sounds illogical…Unless the mole had told them first that the North
Gate was our main target and not the other three gates. And then everything makes sense!”
Steven and Jeff’s jaws dropped.
Glen’s face gradually turned pale.
Janet spoke up at this moment, “This is a simple test that Alpha Daran developed to find out who the
mole is. Wherever the rogue’s forces were gathered, that person must be the mole!”
“But…But…Hold on a second!
Steven stuttered.
“What if this is purely a coincidence? What if the Rogue King rolled a dice and decided which gate they
would guard? I know it sounds a little far–fetched…but we really need to be a hundred percent sure
about this!!”
“I knew that one of you might have a question like this. So I managed to find a testimony.”
Daran raised his voice and called out to the soldiers standing outside:
Bring in the rogue!”
The tent opened up and two soldiers brought in a rogue.
The rogue was forced to kneel on the ground, facing Daran.
“Answer my question honestly, and you might get a chance to live,”
Daran said icily.
“What was the order that Sterning or the Rogue King gave you before the battle?” The rogue shivered
in fear.
Then he answered in a shaky voice, “Sterning told us that you would attack the Crimson Fort tonight…
we didn’t know why he was so sure about this…but he just knew. And he also said that we should
guard the North Gate only, because that was your only target…”
He gulped. And his voice gradually grew louder.
“That f**king Sterning! He was f**king stupid to trust whoever fed him this information! And we were
f**king stupid to follow his dumb orders! If it weren’t for him, we would definitely win! That goddamn
Sterning-”
Daran raised a hand, “OK. That is enough.”
Soldiers cloaked the rogue’s mouth and dragged him out of the tent.
“And we all know who that person is,” Janet added.
Slowly, everyone turned their heads to look at Glen. There was anger and grief in everyone’s eyes.
Glen leaned back in his seat.
He remained in silence for a few more seconds before saying, “One of my soldiers might have stolen
the battle plan from me—”
Janet cut him off sharply, “You admitted to me yourself that you told no one about this plan.
Remember?”
Glen snapped his head up.
The muscle under his left eye twitched slightly.
Glen gritted his teeth.
After another long pause, he slowly breathed out a long sigh.
“Well…what can I say?”
Glen curved his lips into a sarcastic smile,
“You have managed to pin me on the crucifix. Good job.”
He admitted to it.

Janet let out a small sigh of relief and joy.
Yet before she could finally relax, Steven jumped up abruptly and jumped on Glen!
“Why the f**k did you do it!”
Steven roared and threw a hard punch at Glen.
“I thought we were friends! I trusted you! You son of a bitch…WHY!!!”
