While Stiles and Scott were experiencing the news firsthand, on the other hand, Lucas was hearing it from John.
"What?" After hearing the report, he was surprised, then looked at John with a frown.
"The bribe I understand, but you made false evidence of him being a pedophile? That’s cold, even for you."
The documents in John’s hands crumbled as he tried to tell himself to calm down. "I didn’t create any evidence."
"So he really had relationships with minors?"
John nodded, then he spoke, "Yes, and sometimes he used his principal position to give favors in return for something else."
Lucas fell silent as he didn’t expect that just by trying to get rid of a disobedient dog, he would do justice.
"I guess that’s a good thing." A silence remained in the room as Lucas realized what he said, and waved his hand. "No, I meant it’s a good thing we caught the criminal."
"Sure..." John gave him a dubious look.
"Sigh..." Lucas ignored his look and glanced at the documents on his desk. "Did you manage to replace him with someone trustworthy?"
John took a sip of the coffee and nodded. "I managed to pull some strings and put one of our men in charge. From now on, we will not have any problems anymore."
"Good." Lucas gazed at the window thoughtfully, then looked back at him. "Now we need to put our security business in charge of the school’s safety."
John looked at him with slight confusion. When Lucas first told him about this, he was confused about why they would need to look after the school, and now he was still the same. "Can you tell me why?"
Lucas glanced at him and sensed all the mixed emotions he had. "We are a security business. Have you forgotten?"
Of course, it wasn’t just that, as more and more shapeshifters appeared, the school could be a target for various enemies.
If he and others who attracted trouble were in the school, at least he should do his job as a hunter and not just kill shapeshifters but also protect the ones that couldn’t protect themselves.
Although John felt there were other reasons, he finally nodded. He was just an employee and he had to follow orders. "I’ll do as we talked previously. Twenty of our men will be responsible for the security of the school."
Then John got up and walked toward the door. Just as he was about to exit, Lucas called him. "Wait."
As he waited for him to say what he wanted, Lucas tapped the desk as he looked at the wall in a daze.
The fact that he was just a little away from evolving his Obsidian Defense kept him thinking constantly about it, and now he suddenly remembered that there was an opportunity for him to take that leap.
To be more exact, he remembered that there was a cannibalistic family in Beacon Hills, but he couldn’t remember their names.
"Lucas?" John’s voice broke his daze and made him look at him.
"I want you to look for missing people from Beacon Hills and the surrounding areas, and look for a family of three or four people."
"Any other clues?" John closed the door and came back in front of him.
"No, just..."
"Just?" Even John felt like Lucas was starting to play with the words too much.
"Those people are all Wendigos, so you have to be careful," Lucas replied, as he still tried to think of their names.
"Wendigo?" John knew that it had to be some sort of a shapeshifter, but Steven didn’t tell him anything about it. "What the hell is that?"
Lucas gave him a slight evil smile and responded, "Nothing much, just a shapeshifter that feeds on humans."
"Oh, nothing much..." John nodded instinctively, then his body shot up straight from the chair and looked at Lucas in astonishment. "What?! We have that in Beacon Hills?!"
He wasn’t even curious about further description, as eating humans was enough for him to understand the gravity of the situation.
Just thinking of having his daughter stay in a town that has cannibals made his skin itch in discomfort.
He wasn’t afraid. On the contrary, John was already thinking of buying a rocket launcher and blowing those bastards up.
"Relax..." Lucas shook his head as if he was disappointed with his overreaction. "The finding part is hard, as for the killing part...that’s easy."
John calmed down and watched as Lucas smiled as if he was a villain from a Bond movie. "I’ll have all our men on it. We will find those finger-eating bastards!"
John couldn’t sit still anymore and hurried away.
After a few minutes passed, Lucas thought of something and called someone. "I want you to do something for me."
