The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 873

“Yes! I’m here to rescue the hostages. Where are they?” Daniel asked.

“Oh, so you want the hostages? Hahaha...”

Dog burst into laughter, his expression turning cold. “Since you're here to rescue them, that makes things easy! I’ll show you the hostages now!”

Without missing a beat, Dog turned and shouted, “Bring out the hostages!”

As soon as his words fell, a dozen burly men emerged, escorting five hostages. They all had guns pointed at the hostages' heads.

The five individuals looked disheveled, all wearing hoods. However, their expressions were vacant, resembling soulless shells—as if their very essence had been stripped away. Daniel instantly realized the grim truth.

Their souls were gone!

The large men were mercenaries who had likely lost their souls to Dog, who now controlled their bodies. They had no consciousness of their own; they would do whatever Dog commanded.
