The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 878

Lord Vino interrupted the silence by clearing his throat and commanding our attention. He spoke with a measured tone.

"When you go to Grizlo, your primary task is to investigate and observe. If the situation escalates to confrontation, you are not to engage. Instead, report back to us, and we will take it from there. While we would like to assist Liam in rescuing his friend and her mother, we are not willing to put our children in harm's way."

His words hung in the air, and my gaze instinctively turned to Liam, searching for any sign or reaction.

Liam appeared visibly uneasy, and I empathised with his position. If anything were to go wrong, he would likely shoulder the blame. However, our families were tightly connected, and it was inconceivable to leave the Volkovs to tackle this alone. Our bond required us to stand together, regardless of the risks involved.

My attention shifted to Queen Tamia, and her distress was evident. The weight of the situation, combined with the uncertainty surrounding it, made it even more challenging. If there was a way for our parents to handle it themselves, they would have done so. Unfortunately, their roles and positions didn't allow for such direct intervention.

"My beta will dispatch his team tomorrow to check the ports of Kaizen and Braile, conducting inquiries discreetly. We cannot simply storm into people's homes and conduct searches unless there is a clear and urgent need or a state of emergency is declared on those islands. At present, the best approach will be to circulate their pictures and offer rewards for any valuable information," Uncle Leo explained. His pragmatic approach acknowledged the limitations they faced, and it seemed like the most suitable course of action for the time being.

"The active team in Grizlo will consist of," Lord David began, capturing our full attention.

"Justin, as the temporary Alpha, Liam as the temporary Beta, Marvin as the temporary Gamma, Oliver as the temporary Delta, and Noah as the Epsilon. Josephine, Sebastien, and Charlotte, the three of you will work closely with them and assist in the investigation. The rest of you will join them in Grizlo after four months once they have settled into their respective roles. It's essential that all of you collaborate closely and uncover the truth behind what went wrong. Head Alpha Christian Zakharov has provided some documents for you to review."

As Lord David spoke, his gaze settled on me, and I felt a surge of both pride and pressure.

"Josephine, you possess exceptional intellect, and thus, you will lead the investigation. I would like you, Noah, and Sebastien to employ your brilliant minds to analyse the documents provided by the Alpha and develop theories. Report your findings to your respective Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon. In more serious cases, report directly to me," he instructed, and I nodded in acknowledgement.

Glancing towards my parents, I could sense their approval of the assigned roles. I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and anticipation, particularly knowing that Uncle Max and his family would be visiting soon. I hoped we wouldn't be required to depart before their arrival.

As I shifted my gaze towards Liam, it became clear that he was visibly uncomfortable with the fact that I was assigned to his team. I could sense his disapproval, but something within me urged me not to let it affect me. Regardless of his feelings, I knew that I had a role to fulfill and that I was capable of contributing to the investigation. It was unfortunate for him if he didn't like the arrangement, but he would simply have to come to terms with it.
