Chapter 1319: Chapter 1419

I couldn’t hold back any longer and asked, “Do you believe I expect more from you?”

The elder witch appeared unsure, watching my face carefully, and said tentatively, “Isn’t that so? Aren’t you here to punish us?”

I was taken by surprise.

Punish?

What kind of punishment?

I felt very puzzled and asked with bewilderment, “Why would you think that?”

The elder witch answered, “Because that’s what everyone is saying.

After Gale tore a rift in the sky, trouble arose in the world, and now many packs are secretly claiming it was the witches’ doing.

”

“Exactly!” another witch chimed in.

“Everyone claims strange creatures crawled out of the rift and

invaded many packs.

Werewolves are upset, blaming this invasion on us witches, even suggesting we were responsible for bringing them here.

”

The witches’ eyes grew red.

“Rumors have already begun that the only way to solve all this is by eliminating witches.

We thought you came to punish us.

”

So that was it; no wonder they had been so distant earlier, dismissing my greetings, all eyes filled with caution and defense.

Damn those rumors!

Now understanding the situation, I felt heat rush to my head.

I bit my lip, holding back the anger, and stated emphatically, “Don’t worry; these are just werewolves’ rumors.

The invasion is absolutely not connected to the witches, and as the supreme witch, I would never punish you for such unfounded claims.

”

Then, I took out an agreement I had previously signed with several Alphas from my briefcase and showed it to them.

“This is the agreement I reached with a few Alphas.

They have already acknowledged in writing that witches and werewolves have equal rights and responsibilities, with no need to be confined to Xeric Pack.

”

Seeing the witches’ eyes brighten, I added, “I came here to ask for your help, hoping you could join me in fixing the rift, as relying solely on my power is not enough.

Delays could allow more enemies to invade, plunging the whole world into disaster.

”

The elder witch turned the agreement over in her hands, staring at it for a long time, and asked in a stunned tone, “Do you really trust us, without any reservations?”

“Absolutely!” I nodded without hesitation.

“Don’t forget, I am a witch too, and the supreme witch.

I know what kind of people you are, and there’s no reason not to trust you.

”

There was another silence below the stage, and no one said a word for a while.

I suddenly felt a pang of concern.

Had I misspoken again?

Just as I was questioning myself, the witch who had earlier stepped forward to clarify the situation said, “I am willing to help.

”

Debra’s POV:

“I’m also willing to help!”
