The Wolf is Coming Ch. 117
It was already afternoon when Greyback returned to Malfoy Manor.
As soon as he entered the door, he clearly felt that the atmosphere was wrong. It seemed that everyone who passed by him looked at him intentionally or unintentionally, especially those dark wizards; their looks were mostly blatant and malicious, as if they were waiting to see him laugh.
Something must have happened during the time he was away from the manor. Greyback thought to himself.
So Greyback stopped a werewolf passing by and wanted to ask him what happened.
The werewolf looked at the leader in front of him, hesitating for a long time before telling him, "Cromwell came this morning, he said he wanted to challenge you to a duel."
"Cromwell? That silver-haired kid?" Greyback frowned, his tone was very bad, "How dare he?! This is the Dark Lord's territory now, he will disturb the respected master!"
"But the Dark Lord already knows about this." The werewolf considered his words and continued, "He... looks very interested, and he also allowed us to stay in the manor tonight until the duel is over."
Hearing this, Greyback's heart skipped a beat.
During this period of time, he more or less understood the Dark Lord's temper. The Dark Lord didn't like to keep useless people around him, because in his opinion, weak people and people of low blood were the most redundant existence in the world.
In Greyback's impression, Abraham Cromwell was not very sociable. He had never fought with him, and he was not sure about his opponent's strength. But he knew that if he lost in such a duel within the wolf tribe, he would be labeled as a "useless person". If the Dark Lord was in a bad mood, he might die.
However, no matter how nervous Greyback was, what was coming still came.

The night fell and the full moon was high.
Malfoy Manor once again welcomed the rare scene of wolves howling. It had been a while since they have been allied with werewolves. Although they had seen "wolves turning into living wolves", it was the first time that the Death Eaters had seen such an excited scene of wolves.
Because the duel was the most traditional way of the wolf tribe, the wolves spontaneously formed a circle on the lawn of the manor. In the middle of the circle were a white wolf and a brown wolf, which were Abraham and Greyback. The brown wolf looked quite strong, but his eyes were already showing signs of aging and were a little cloudy. The white wolf was obviously a circle larger than the brown wolf, with sharp eyes and a youthful vigor and strength.
The werewolves in Wilvo basically knew what Abraham looked like before. Now seeing that the guy who used to be bullied had grown into this state, everyone was somewhat surprised, and they all sighed that it was no wonder that Abraham had the courage to challenge the leader. Of course, they were using the language of wolves at this time, and it was just some chaotic wolf howls in the ears of the Death Eaters.
Surrounded by the wolves, Abraham and Greyback were slowly circling and carefully looking at each other. They took steady steps, always accumulating strength, as if they would suddenly rush out at any time.
Suddenly, Greyback moved first, and he pounced on Abraham, and his move was a killing move, biting directly into Abraham's throat.
Of course, Abraham would not let Greyback succeed easily. He quickly moved two steps to the side and back, avoiding the attack and then took the opportunity to bite back. Although he also failed to hit the wolf, he pulled off a large tuft of wolf hair.
The wolf pack immediately cheered. They didn't care who won or lost, but only cared about the excitement of the duel.
The white peacock in the manor had already panicked and hid when the first wolf howl sounded. Although the other Death Eaters were not as timid as the white peacock, they would never dare to approach easily; if there was an accidental injury, they might become the werewolves they hated.
Malfoy's mansion was located in the center of the manor, very close to the place where the wolf tribe duels. So most of the Death Eaters used this house as a stand, lying on the windowsill and looking down.
