StarNovelChapter 1687 Silas was still angry, but remained silent because Xavier had intimidated him.

Then, Neil added, "We ask that Mr. Stuart and Mr. Everheart cinto the village to talk to US alone. | 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.

You all just need to negotiate well. | 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 oy x your husband are the only normal people in your village." At that point, both parties ceased fire.
Xavier and Quinton chose to hike up the mountains to enter the village with Silas and his men while Elijah and Chase kept Sabrina as a hostage. Elijah and Chase looked at each other in dismay as they watched Xavier and the others leave.
"Do you think they'll be reckless?" Elijah asked finally.
"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." People could lose all rationality when it cto their beliefs. Dragos’ villagers believed in the dragon, and Stefan had disrespected it. They definitely wouldn't let him off the hook that easily.
