Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

 Anthony's POV: 

At the same time that Caroline broke free from Jennifer's grip, I took out my gun and rushed to Austin.

He was already a spent bullet, so it didn't take me much effort to pin him on the floor with my knee on his back.

"Stop struggling, Austin," I said coldly, pressing the barrel of my gun against Austin's temple.

"A lot of your men are dead or wounded.You've as good as lost.Your days are done.Surrender quietly while you can, and don't bring destruction on yourself.My patience is limited."

"Yes, it's not too late for you to surrender now,"

Jennifer added, pulling Caroline up again and pinching her neck.

Despite her bleeding hand, she looked calm and steady.

Somehow, seeing her maintain her composure in this situation made me feel sorry for her.Caroline had to pay for everything she did! 

"You son of a bitch!"

Struggling to get up, Austin glared at me.

"I curse you to die a miserable death.You just want to steal the throne from me! How dare you covet it?"

Right now, in my eyes, Austin was nothing but a contemptible scoundrel.

Ignoring his curses, I asked my private guards to bring the elders who had fled in all directions back here.

These elders had all huddled in the corners during the battle.

A few of them who didn't know that the fight was over were still squatting awkwardly under the dining table.

When they were led to me, their faces turned red.

"Everyone, you have witnessed the evidence to Austin's crimes with your own eyes.The evidence is irrefutable,"

I announced, staring pointedly at the elders who dodged my eyes.

"Now, are you still in support of this tyrant as our king?"

My question was met with tense silence.

I knew that for these powerful elders, the utmost priority was to guarantee their own safety.

They wouldn't take sides unless I put pressure on them.
