Chapter 556 Exchange Of Hostages
Sylvia''s POV:
Original content from N?velDrama.Org.
We set off before night fell.
Ashley led us along a secret short cut and we soon arrived at the designated meeting spot.
The vampires were bound by iron chains, and Warren and Flora were in charge of keeping a close
eye on them.
Meanwhile, Rufus and I waited for Hobson at the intersection.
When it waspletely dark, we saw a group of vampires approaching. They were escorting a
woman in a ck hood. It seemed that the woman was La.
I immediately leaped forward and said loudly, "Take off the hood. Let us see her face first."
The silver-haired vampire who was leading Laughed grimly but obliged. He yanked the hood
off and spat, "Look. This is who you want, right?"
I felt relieved to see the woman''s face. It was indeed La, and she seemed to be fine. It didn''t look
like she was hurt.
La met my gaze and smiled bitterly. "I knew you''de save me, Sylvia."
"You''re quite lucky. When we found this she-wolf, the vampire who bought her hadn''t done anything
to her yet. I overheard that he was nning to dissect her alive." The silver-haired vampire
frivolously patted La''s face and said wistfully, "What a pity! Such beautiful skin would''ve made a
top-grade mask."
I coldly pped away the silver-haired vampire''s hand and briskly went down to business. "I''ve
brought the vampires you want."
"Is that so? Bring them here and let me see." The silver-haired vampire looked at La longingly, as
though he still wanted to stroke her face.
I turned around and looked at Warren meaningfully. He immediately understood and brought over
the vampire captives.
After the silver-haired vampire counted the prisoners, he squinted shrewdly and said, "One is
missing. Where is the woman with the golden hair?"
"She''s dead and nothing much was left of her corpse, so we didn''t bring her here," Rufus said
coldly.
I sneered. "Consider yourself lucky. If it weren''t for La, we would''ve ughtered the rest of them."
"Why, you—!" Irritated, the silver haired vampire reached out and grabbed La''s hair. "In that
case, I should cut off one of her hands. It''s only fair. After all, you killed one of our own."
"Touch her and they''ll all die here," I pointed at the vampires behind me and warned him coldly. The
silver-haired vampire nced at the captives and sneered. He kicked hard at the crook of La''s
leg and she buckled to her knees. His face contorted from being intensely angry to extremely crazy.
"Okay, then I suppose both sides will suffer losses tonight."
He kicked La again, dislocating one of her arms in the process.
I clenched my fists, seething with rage. "Enough with the bullshit. You work for Hobson, so be a
good dog and do as you''re told. If we exchange the hostages, this matter will be settled."
"Do you seriously think that I''d just let you go so easily? You''re even stupider than I thought!" The
silver-haired vampireughed like a madman, took out an axe from behind, and was about to chop
La''s head off.
Rufus and I immediately leaped into action and tried to stop him.
But before he couldnd a blow, the other vampires stopped their silver-hairedpanion. They
whispered something into his ear. This seemed to calm the silver-haired vampire down, because he
then put down his axe and pulled La up from the ground.
With a hard shove, he pushed La towards us and spat, "Give us the hostages."
Rufus gestured at Warren and thetter led the vampire captives here.
The hostages of both sides walked towards their respective groups simultaneously.
I clenched my fists and my whole body was on edge.
I could feel that there were many people lurking in the shadows around us. They all red at us
murderously. Perhaps the real ughter would beunched as soon as the hostages were
exchanged.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment. Everyone held their breaths, anxiously anticipating a
fierce battle to break out at any given second.
