Sylvia's POV:
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 was completely dark, we saw a group of vampires approaching. They were escorting a woman in a black hood. It seemed that the woman was Layla.
I immediately leaped forward and said loudly, "Take off the hood. Let us see her face first."
The silver-haired vampire who was leading Layla 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 Layla, and she seemed to be fine. It didn't look like she was hurt.
Layla met my gaze and smiled bitterly. "I knew you'd come 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 planning to dissect her alive." The silver-haired vampire frivolously patted Layla's face and said wistfully, "What a pity! Such beautiful skin would've made a top-grade mask."
I coldly slapped 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 Layla 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?"
