Chapter 220 What Are They Hiding?

“You should not be here. What if they come back? We do not even know who had attacked the palace. So it would be better that you stay in the dark. I will transfer all the goods.

We are only lucky that they did not search the place thoroughly but only took kids with them. Before they could come back and search again, we will already be far away from this place.“ The muffled and slow voices would have been impossible to hear for anyone else but with the power of winds, it was loud and clear for him.

“What if the kids tell them? You should have casted a blood spell on them too. And what if they saw it but left it as a trap. What if they follow us when we shift them?

We should stay here and wait. I am sure they would come back then we can kill them and keep one alive to know what they wanted?” he announced in an authoritative tone as if he was looking down on the wisdom of his subordinate.

“What? You human! Have you lost your mind? What if they were stronger than us? Not only would we get killed, all the hard work we had done in the past one month would be lost. You know that Vincent still needs me for this plan.

How can you put my life in danger?” the witch shouted again as she tried to get hold of the box and walk out of the dark room when the man held her hands.

“Do not act over smart. Do you think I would believe your excuses and let you go? You witches are not trustworthy, if not that you have come personally and pleaded to the master to help you in taking down the vampire, we would not have been in the mess.

Now you want to run away when the first blow hits? How could I believe that it was not your doing?” He placed more pressure while holding her hands with the intention to hurt her.

She winced and frowned but there was no way that she could come out of his grip.

“What nonsense are you spouting? If I really wanted to go against you then I would not have done a blood pact with you.

The way you are hurting me, do you think you would have been able to do it if i would have attacked you back?” but his words did not placate the man.

He continued to hurt her with an evil grin on his face.

“Then prove it. You are going to wait here for the attackers to come back while I will keep an eye on you from the dark.

You have to kill all of them with your powers. Dont you claim that you are too strong, then show us!

Your friend would come soon to help you. Now be a good girl and stay here without any argument.” he jerked her hands away with the full force with an intention to make her fall on the ground but she continued to stand and stare back at him with a glare that irritated him.

He could not believe that he had to work with a witch out of everyone that was also a dumb and weak one who did not know anything except cowering and running away.

“You better behave when I hide there.” he pointed at the building that was in front of it. The windows of that building could be used to peek inside this one easily.

The man stared at her with an intimidating look one last time before leaving in that building.

The witch gritted her teeth and then stared back at the small boxes that were more than two dozen. It had already taken all her efforts to take them out alone and now she had to hide them back at a new place to keep them safe or all of their hard work would go to waste.

Lucian was not sure if the spell of that ancestor witch would work on other witches so he continued to look at the whole scene from a distance even when he felt bad for the other witch.

But now he wanted to look at the boxes. The boxes were small, more like the jewelry boxes if looked from afar. These boxes could be hidden well by the kids and transferred from one place to another.

Was that the reason that they have kidnapped so many kids? But why? If they wanted to hide or smuggle the boxes they could have used adults. They would have been more efficient at the task,

He saw her disappearing with one of the boxes in the dark when he came closer to open the box.

He would just peek and leave before she could come back. With that thought he ran when she walked out of the room once again with a few more boxes in her hands and opened one of the boxes when he heard the sound of bullets again and closed the box abruptly.

But instead of putting the box back with other boxes. He hid it in his dress and ran towards the door.

Rafael was fighting with a witch but it was not the one that was there a few minutes ago. It must be the friend the gruff man was talking about.

With the hatred Rafael had for witches, Lucian was strong that the witch would be killed in a few seconds and then Rafael would come and see what was in the boxes and kill another one too.

“Darn, she is going to die.” the other witch panicked as she heard the voice of a gun too. But instead of running away she tried to hide the leftover boxes that surprised him.

She continued to do it until Rafael and another witch continued to argue and fight and took only a breath of relief when she hid all of them and casted a spell on them so that they could not be seen.

“So, are you going to run away now?”
