Chapter 537 Afraid Of Light
Sylvia''s POV:
The blonde female vampire walked to me, her hips swaying from side to side. With an evil smile,
she announced loftily, "We''re here to capture you under the order of Duke Hobson."
"Fuck off!" Rufus shot the blonde woman a cold re and his grip on my hand tightened, as though
he was scared I''d be snatched away from him.
When the blonde woman''s eyes flitted to him, she looked surprised. Then, she smiled bitterly. "What
a handsome man. It''s a pity you''re no gentleman."
I squeezed Rufus'' hand tofort him. "It''s okay. You''re here this time."
"I don''t need to be a gentleman in front of the likes of you. No wonder I smelled something
unpleasant—your scent." Not to be outdone, Harry covered his nose exaggeratedly and pointed the
blonde woman in disgust. "Bitch!"
"Why, you—!" The blonde woman spat at Harry, too angry to formte a sentence.
In the end, she gave up and ignored Harry. Turning to look at Geoffrey, she sneered, "The she-wolf
got away, so the agreement is invalid." Geoffrey''s face grew livid, as though he was on the verge of
going mad. "It''s all Hobson''s fault." The blonde woman shrugged indifferently. "It''s none of my
business. But the duke said that, as long as you catch that she-wolf again and offer her to us, the
cooperation can resume as usual. The duke also told us that the she-wolf was useful to him, so you
can''t kill her."
The blonde woman spoke as though I wasn''t right in front of her.
"Hey, I''m right here!" I pouted unhappily.
"Oh, shut up!" The blonde woman snapped at me, resentment written all over her face. "If it was up
to me, I''d have killed you myself!"
I could guess why she was so angry at me. Even after so many days, her broken tooth still hadn''t
grown back to normal.
"What''s going on, Sylvia?" Rufus leaned over and whispered in my ear.
"Hobson said that my blood smells like Noreen''s. So he''s going to such lengths to capture me
alive," I exined briefly.
Rufus'' expression darkened.
"I''m sure it''s just a misunderstanding. Don''t worry. We''ll talk about Noreen when this is all over," I
comforted him hurriedly.
But Rufus'' eyes still looked vicious.
"Oh, honey, it''s okay. Smile for me." I shook Rufus'' hand and smiled at him, trying to cheer him up.
"As long as they can''t take me away, everything''s fine."
Rufus nodded and touched my head softly. "I''ll protect you this time."
Just then, the blonde woman spoke up again, interrupting our conversation.
"Why the hell are you still flirting with each other? You''re not taking me seriously!"
I nced at the blonde woman reluctantly. Suddenly, a thought urred to me.
I tugged at the corner of Rufus'' clothes and whispered urgently, "Why aren''t those vampires afraid
of the light?"
I had grown up as a ve, so I received a subpar education. There were many things I didn''t know.
When I was in the castle, Hobson and his cronies seemed to melt whenever they came in contact
with light. This gave me the impression that all vampires were afraid of light.

But now, my theory seemed to be debunked.
Rufus leaned closer to me and exined, "Light might have weakened them a little bit, but real
vampires aren''t afraid of light. Only the lowest level of vampires are afraid of light. When a real
vampire sucks the blood of a creature by force, the victim bes a mindless, blood-sucking
monster—a zombie. Zombies don''t have any special powers and they''re scared of light. That being
said, they live in darkness and are very difficult to deal with."
Hearing this, I was shocked. What about Hobson''s family?
"There aren''t that many real vampires. The werewolf race was defeated because the vampires
created an army of zombies," Rufus added seriously.
This confused me even more. How could the powerful Hobson be a zombie?
But then I thought about Hobson''s decaying body, which was like a dying tree branch. Was it
because of Noreen''s ck death curse?
