Chapter 1687
Silas was still angry, but remained silent because Xavier had intimidated him.
Seeing that, Neil continued, "You're right, Mr. Stuart. We have our differences,
and I think the best course of action right now is for everyone to calm down and
take a step back."
Everyone remained silent, in agreement with Neil.
Then, Neil added, "We ask that Mr. Stuart and Mr. Everheart come into the
village to talk to US alone. I know you both are concerned, and it's normal for you
to be. Mr. Stuart, please tell US what your condition is, and we'll try our best to
fulfill it if we can.” Then, he carefully looked at Silas. "Dad, what do you think?"
Silas didn't want to make a scene. If these men destroyed the village, Dragos’
centuries-old legacy would end because of him, and it would be a great sin.
Hence, he finally yielded. "Fine. What's your condition?" "I can go into your
village with you, but your daughter has to be kept as a hostage on our side until
we reach a successful negotiation," Xavier said simply. He was someone who
always had a backup plan, and was not as trusting as Quinton.
"Excuse me?" Silas’ eyes widened in rage. The thought of Xavier keeping his
beloved daughter as a hostage was both infuriating and humiliating.
Td rather not negotiate then. We'll fight and see who wins." Silas straightened
and held his head high. He would rather sacrifice his clan's dignity than his
daughter's safety.
"Dad, calm down!" Sabrina stopped Silas. "I think Mr. Stuart's condition is
acceptable. They trust me, and we should trust them too. You all just need to
negotiate well. I don't mind going to their side until the negotiation is over.” Then,
she ignored Silas and walked towards Xavier, unbothered by the guns aimed at
her. She said to Xavier calmly, "My life is in your hands. If my dad and clansmen
break their word and try to harm you both, feel free to kill me."
Surprised, Xavier gave Sabrina a thumbs-up. "I think you and your husband are
the only normal people in your village."
At that point, both parties ceased fire.

"It's hard to say." Chase shook his
head. "People are unpredictable, and
it's hard to tell if they'll sacrifice this
woman for the sake of revenge." The

People could lose all rationality when
it came to their beliefs. Dragos’
villagers believed in the dragon, and
Stefan had disrespected it. They
definitely wouldn't let him off the
hook that easily. The content is on
