Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Anthony's POV: 

Once Jennifer fell asleep, I still couldn't get over the feeling of uneasiness, so I got up from the bed.

Not wanting to disturb her sleep, I walked out of the bedroom as quietly as I could and went to the monitoring room.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw my attendants watching the surveillance videos as per my instructions.

"Have you found anything?" I asked them.

"Mr.Jones, we've been checking the surveillance videos from the time period before and after Mrs.Jones was attacked, but we haven't found anything suspicious yet," the head attendant _ replied respectfully.

I nodded.

"I'll watch the videos together with you.We'll get the work done faster."

"Yes, Mr.Jones."

The attendant led me to a screen and opened up a surveillance video for me.

"Please watch this one."

Motioning for the attendant to leave me be, I focused on the video playing in front of me.

The cameras were on 24/7, recording every moment of every day.

Needless to say, it was a monotonously tedious task to watch the surveillance videos, but in order not to miss even the slightest clue, we had to watch everything from beginning to end without taking our eyes off of it.

As long as we could find a clue to catch Larry, all this effort would be worth it.

Calming myself down, I watched the video, playing it at double the speed since there was nothing of significance happening.

Time passed by.

All of a sudden, something caught my eye.

A strange figure appeared on the screen.

It was a man who kept looking around.

His movements were strange and dodgy.

Judging from his clothes, he wasn't a palace guard.

And most importantly, his physique looked highly similar to Larry's.

"Come and take a look at this," I said to my attendants, pausing the video.

"Do any of you recognize this man? Is he one of the guards?"

"No, Mr.Jones.We've never seen him before," the head attendant replied solemnly.

With a nod, I rewound the video a few seconds and played it, watching that particular section of the mysterious man's appearance over and over again.

After a while, I asked, "Can you zoom in and make the video clearer so that we can see his face?"

A technician immediately ran over and bowed.

"Of course, Mr.Jones."
