Chapter 1309
The sharp pain in my arm aroused my desire to fight back. I rushed at Hubson, teeth bared, and tried to restrain him. Rufus also viciously attacked him from the other side.
Hubson had no choice but to retreat.
Just as Rufus and I were about to use a joint attack to subdue him, he suddenly raised his arm high and threw the b***d-stained cloth torn from my arm to a nearby vampire.
The dark red pupils of the vampire looked particularly eerie in the night, and as soon as he caught the bloody cloth, he immediately activated his ability. The next second, it burst into flames.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
I was so anxious to snatch the cloth, but Hubson forced me back.
Soon, the cloth turned to ashes. The red-eyed vampire bared his sharp fangs and pointed southwest, saying to Hubson, “I found Noreen. She’s in the brightest palace to the southwest!”
That was exactly where we had hid Beryl.
Instantly, boiling anger surged through my veins. As a mother, I would never allow anyone to harm my child, even if she was possessed by a demon.
As soon as the vampire finished speaking, Hubson and his group transformed into bats and flew towards the southwest palace.
“Catch them!” Rufus barked, and all the soldiers swarmed out.
Rufus and I quickly turned into wolves and chased after Hubson and his group of vampire bats as fast as we could. The horde of bats in the sky blotted out the moon, but we refused to slow down.
For the first time, I felt how huge this place was. It felt like we would never reach the end in time. My heart was filled with anxiety, and the thought of Beryl being in danger made me grit my teeth in despair.
Rufus and I were still a bit faster than Hubson, but just by a little bit, We all burst into the room almost at the same time.
Before Rufus and I could make a move, Hubson saw Beryl, who tied to the bed, Beryl was sitting up and leaning against the head of the bed, and when we all barged into the room, she looked at us curiously.
This innocent look on her face was so convincing. For a split segond, I almost believed my Beryl was back, but then I remembered that Noreen was a pro at fooling people.
Still. I couldn’t be sure whether it was Beryl or Noreen who was controlling the body at this moment.
When Hubson saw the little girl tied to the bed, he was shocked. He turbed back into his human form and stared at Beryl for a long time. He might’ve thought that his subordinate had made a mistake, but when he rolled up his sleeves and saw the black mist on his wrists, he was sure that Beryl was indeed Noreen.
“Noreen, I wasn’t expecting to meet you like this. No wonder Sylvia and the wolf king tried to hide you as much as possible.”
I angrily stepped in between them, blocking Beryl from his gaze. “What the hell are you talking about? That’s my daughter, not Noreen!”
Hubson stared at me grimly. “Do you expect me to believe that? If she wasn’t Noreen, you two wouldn’t be so nervous.”
As he spoke, he raised his wrists. Look at the black mist on my arms. The Black Death Curse is closely related to Noreen. As long as she’s nearby, the black mist appears.”
I tried to deceive him into doubting himself. “That doesn’t prove that my daughter is Noreen. You know how cunning Noreen is. Maybe she’s hiding somewhere in this room. Or maybe she has disguised herself as one of your men.”
Hubson fell silent for a while, but after thinking it over, he chose to believe his original theory. He sneered and pushed me aside. Then he waved his hand qwickly, and the tape on Beryl’s mouth immediately disappeared. The next second, a sharp and mature voice came from Beryl’s mouth.
“Habson, you son of a bitch!”
