Chapter 431 Outrageous


    Sylvia''s POV:


    The charcoal stone soon turned ck, looking harmless.


    But then a local soldier threw a piece of beef onto it. We all instantly heard a sizzling sound and the


    beef was roasted in a matter of seconds.


    Seeing this, the group of local soldiers began to jeer at Ashley to start dancing.


    Ashley hesitated slightly, but finally she lifted her injured foot.


    Harry clenched his fists. He was so angry at the scene that he let out a string of expletives. "Fuck!"


    But his voice was drowned out amidst the chaos.


    Flora nearly rushed to the vampire ve to put a stop to this, but I stopped her quickly. "Calm down.


    Geoffrey is looking at us."


    Something told me that we needed to look into this matter further, but we needed to do it subtly. We


    couldn''t attract attention to ourselves now, lest it alert the enemy.


    Besides, everyone here seemed to hate Ashley with a passion. It wasn''t appropriate for us to stop


    them without knowing why they hated her. The music and the drumbeats picked up the pace, as


    though it was urging Ashley to step on the stone.


    I could see that Ashley had broken out in cold sweat. She stepped one foot on the edge of the iron


    tray where the charcoal stoney, while the other foot dragged behind her hesitantly.


    "Hurry up!" one of the soldiers shouted impatiently.


    Gritting her teeth, Ashley stood on tiptoe and twirled around gracefully.


    "Bravo!"


    "Go on. Show us more ass!"


    "Hurry up! Don''t try to make us feel sorry for you. You owe us forst night!"


    The soldiers burst intoughter.


    The deafening cheers all around me made me want to explode. I clenched my fists tightly. It took all


    of my willpower not to rush over and tear these fiends in werewolf clothing apart.


    But fortunately, I didn''t have to.


    "Enough. I don''t like this show. She can leave now."


    Rufus'' words made Geoffrey sober up immediately. He looked at Rufus with fear in his eyes and


    asked, "Are you dissatisfied, Your Highness?"


    Rufus cast a cold nce at Geoffrey in a domineering manner, which made Geoffrey shrivel on the


    spot.


    The man had no choice but to wave to the guards, hinting at them to take Ashley away.


    A hush fell over the banquet hall. Nobody dared to make a sound.


    Geoffrey yed ignorant and kept trying to tter Rufus.


    "Your Highness, if you need anything, just tell


    me, okay?"


    But Rufus'' eyes were as cold as ice. I could tell he was doing everything he could to suppress his


    anger. He put his ss down and said loudly, "Let''s call it a day. Everyone, go get some rest."


    After saying that, he gave Geoffrey a bonechilling nce. "I need to talk to you alone."


    I breathed a sigh of relief and shot Rufus a grateful look before hurrying to take Flora and others


    away

    When we came out, it was already dark. Jerome led us to our temporary amodations.


    Flora and I put down our luggage and quickly changed into casual clothes, ready to sneak out.


    However, as soon as we walked out of the residence, we were stopped by a masked figure.


    Both Flora and I were startled. Just as we were about to fight back, the figure held a finger to his


    mouth.


    "Shh, it''s me. Calm down."


    The figure took off his ck mask, revealing Warren''s familiar face.


    Flora punched him angrily. "Why would you wear ck at night? Did you want to scare the living


    shit out of us?"


    "Keep your voice down. There are soldiers patrolling the area," Warren lowered his voice and


    whispered cautiously.


    I looked at him helplessly. "How did you know that we were going to sneak out?"
