A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 450

Quintis' men still outnumbered Kristoff's. In the end, it was Kristoff's men that were surrounded. Kristoff was about to start shaking his men in anger when his phone started ringing.

Kristoff glanced at the screen and was surprised to see that it was Sheldon Alabaster, his superior and the head of the municipal bureau, calling. Kristoff fixed a smile on his face before he picked up the call.

"Hello, Mr. Alabaster? I was surprised to see you calling. Is there something that you need me to do?"

Only Kristoff could hear what Sheldon was telling him, but his expression continued to darken as the conversation went on. His eyes would occasionally flicker in Quintis and Emily's direction while sweat began to roll down his face.

"But Mr. Alabaster, they hurt my son. I can't just let things slide after that. Who did you say he was?"

As the conversation dragged on, Kristoff began to argue with Sheldon over the phone. Kristoff's expression turned uneasy as he gazed upon Emily and Quintis, who both wore matching calm and steady expressions.

After Sheldon's warnings, Kristoff started to come to his senses. He wondered how Sheldon knew about what was happening. He even warned Kristoff that Daniel was digging a hole for himself, and that Kristoff needed to tread carefully.

Kristoff wasn't a fool. No ordinary person would dare to challenge the authority of the law enforcement officers under broad daylight. No ordinary person would have so many bodyguards, some of whom were even carrying guns.

When he considered how powerful Emily and Quintis must be, cold sweat erupted all over Kristoff's body. Kristoff wanted to make a swift retreat. But when he thought about how badly Daniel had been beaten, he realized he just couldn't let this incident pass.

Kristoff had just steeled his determination to go against Quintis when his phone started ringing again. The person on the other line held a position that was even higher than Sheldon.

Who was going to take responsibility if anything happened to the Lycans while they were on campus grounds? The other officials were also aware of Quintis and Emily's status, so they had followed along after George.

The atmosphere started to turn chaotic. Even the city's leaders had driven over to the university with Jason leading the pack. They arrived at nearly the same time as George's party. The newcomers rushed onto the scene. They didn't bother greeting each other at first, their priority was Quintis' and Emily's wellbeing. They only sighed in relief when they found out that Quintis and Emily were unharmed.

Only after confirming their wellbeing, did they start questioning the pair about what had transpired. However, Kristoff, Daniel, Leslie and his lackeys were thoroughly intimidated by the sudden appearance of the newcomers.

Kristoff could have pretended that the people on the phone were just making up lies to scare him into complacency. But now that he was face to face with so many powerful figures such as George and Jason, Kristoff was slowly realizing that he was way in over his head.
