I saw Riley purse her lips, looking determined as she said, “I think Debra must have already told you about the specific role of this armed force. I just want to say, if Debra ever needs help, feel free to use the strength of our armed force to bring her to safety. We’re grateful to both of you.”

Riley was offering me the use of Roz Town’s armed force?
I was taken aback, but after a moment’s thought, I declined her offer. “I truly appreciate your offer in emergencies, but I can’t bring myself to use the armed force.”
“hy?” Riley furrowed her brows, clearly puzzled. “Caleb, if you use the strength of this army, you can surely save Debra. That way, she won’t be in danger. Wouldn’t that be a good thing?”

I calmly reminded her, “Riley, have you considered that once we use Roz Town’s armed forces, the Thorn Edge Pack will take notice? Then, whether we succeed in rescuing Debra or not, the people of Roz Town will be expelled from the Thorn Edge Pack.”
Riley was stunned. It seemed she hadn’t thought it through.
Helplessly, I explained, “This army should only be used as a last resort. Otherwise, all the efforts Debra and I have made so far would be wasted. Not only would our deal be canceled, but where would the people of Roz Town go after being expelled?”
I continued straightforwardly, “The former Roz Town site holds the resources to treat the Thorn Edge Pack’s illness, and this information has leaked. Even if Roz Town’s residents are forced out, they won’t be able to return. The battle for these resources and control over the Thorn Edge Pack will only intensify, making the situation even worse than when Adam was in charge.”
Looking at Riley meaningfully, I added, “I don’t think this is the outcome you desire.”
“I’m sorry.” Riley clasped her hands, guilt clouding her expression.
“I didn’t think it through.”
I didn’t dwell on it further, just reassured her, “It’s alright, you don’t need to worry about Debra’s situation. I’ll find a way to rescue her myself. You just need to return and wait for the news.”
“Okay.” Riley didn’t push further. She waved goodbye and said, “If you need assistance, reach out to me. I’ll be there to lend a hand.”
After seeing Riley off, I began contemplating deeply.

Before, my mind was all about rescuing Debra, leaving no room for anything else. But Riley’s words just now made me pause and think again.
It almost slipped my mind that Debra still belonged to the Xeric Pack. She held high status in Roz Town and had good relations with Gale, Harlan, and others.
If Gale, Harlan, and the rest of them were d

etermined to shield Debra and brought their troops to save her after the big incident at Thorn Edge Pack, it would turn into a war between packs.
That would be a huge problem.
To steer clear of such trouble, I dialed Gale’s number the moment I reached the villa.
Soon, it got through.
A composed, mature female voice answered, “Hello, who’s calling?”
I recognized it was Gale. Debra had spoken to her a few times, so I knew her voice.
“I’m Caleb from the Thorn Edge Pack,” I replied.
“Caleb?” Gale sounded surprised. “Why are you calling all of a sudden?
