Sylvia's POV:
The hostages from both sides walked very carefully, fearing that one wrong move could have disastrous consequences.
I stared at Layla and nodded at her, encouraging her to come over bravely.
Layla pursed her lips and looked serious. It could be seen from her trembling hands that she was also very nervous.
Soon, the hostages of both sides reached their own groups without a hitch.
I approached Layla and helped her untie the rope.
"Be careful. I can feel an ambush coming." Layla warned me in a low voice.
"I know." I looked up and winked at her meaningfully.
Suddenly, the silver-haired vampire spoke up again. "You should check on her carefully, lest later you say that it's not the person you want."
I pulled Layla behind me protectively. Glaring defiantly at the silver-haired vampire, I replied, "She's the person we want. Why don't you check your captives?"
The silver-haired vampire didn't seem to take me seriously. He smiled and clicked his tongue arrogantly. "You're dead meat, yet you still have the audacity to defy me." "Is that so? Who said we're going to die here?" I shrugged nonchalantly, pretending to be clueless. "This is our territory, remember?" The silver-haired vampire's lips curved into an evil smile. He slowly raised his hand, as if to give a signal to his fellow vampires.
But before they could act, the vampire captives who had just walked over to them suddenly attacked the other vampires present.
Chaos broke loose on the other side.
"Let's go." I grabbed Layla's hand and started running.
