Chapter 1003 - WRONG ANSWER

"We can't find the elders, women or even the children," Ethan said. "Rossie is not here too, it seems they managed to escape when the battle intensified, since they knew that there is no chance for them to survive this."

They were outnumbered and with the dragon beasts and the spell- casters on the vampire's side, it was most likely that they were unable to fight them off.

"I see…" Calleb mumbled. Part of him was relieved that they took some precautions, but the part was still worried, because it was not safe out there either, anything could happen to them.

But then, who would have known that they could manage to arrive in this place? After all the spells that the northern spell- casters had put around?

"Seine had found the secret tunnel and I have asked some lycan warriors to track them down, they will let us know if they found something," Ethan reported. Seine was one of the spell- casters who came with them.

For Calleb and Ethan, who couldn't shift into their beasts, it would be hard to follow the trackers, as they would only slow them down, therefore, they waited for the news here.

"What will you do?" Ethan asked when he followed Calleb, who was crouching down near the head of Theseus. He grimaced when he saw the look in the dragon lord's lifeless eyes.

It was a gruesome scene to witness, but it seemed that he was almost used to it now and only felt slightly uncomfortable in his stomach, nothing else.

"Where is that dragon shifter?" Calleb asked Alpha Ralph, who was standing not too far from him, he was listening to some report about how many lycans had survived, injured and dead.

Alpha Ralph tilted his head and answered him after he remembered the last report that he heard. "Alpha Jack is interrogating him now, if I am not mistaken, they are on the second floor," he said before focusing on what the warrior was reporting to him.

After hearing that, Calleb took Theseus's head and walked toward the second floor with Ethan following behind him closely.

In the first floor and the front yard, where they had battled, there were various scents mixed in the air with the smell of blood as the prominent one, thus it was hard to pin point someone's exact location using only their noses.

That was why they needed the spell- casters to find the secret tunnel, since the lycanthropes couldn't rely on their olfactory senses for now.

Calleb held Theseus's head by grabbing its hair, but it seemed he just took a plastic bag with him instead of a head.

Ethan could only knit his brows when he saw this, but didn't say anything, as he knew that Calleb would do something more horrible to Lord Bayle.

When they heard the voice of Alpha Jack from behind one of the doors, Calleb quickened his steps and entered the room.

Without saying anything, Calleb threw Theseus's head, which rolled on the dirty floor and stopped right in front of Lord Bayle's feet, with his lifeless eyes staring at his father.

"AAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!!"

A shrill scream was heard from Lord Bayle's mouth when he learned that his only son had been beheaded. He, who was tied to the chair, fell to the ground, but it only made it worse for him since he landed facing his son's head now.

And another earth- shattering scream left his lips. He sounded like he was being slaughtered like an animal.

"Dude, it was already hard interrogating him before this and now I doubt he will be able to talk again after he strained his throat," Alpha Jack complained.

"What have you got?" Calleb ignored that. In the past, it was very rare to see the Beta being all serious, since he was an easy going type and this role would be filled by Raphael, but everything was different now.

"He lured the devils here and disclosed this place to them," Alpha Jack said. "I was about to ask how he did that when you threw his son head."

"No need to know about that," Calleb said. The battle had ended and most of the vampires and spell- casters had died along with some lycanthropes too, there was no point in wasting time on something like this.

"Okay." Alpha Jack shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

"I will take it from here." Calleb approached lord Bayle, who was still screaming at the top of his lungs.

"I will take care of the matters downstairs then," Alpha Jack said and walked past Ethan, who was still standing in front of the door. "Come with me young man, you don't want to see this."

Ethan hesitated slightly, but he chose to stay in the end. "No, I want to see this."

"Okay."

And then Alpha Jack closed the door.

For a full one minute, Calleb just stood there, seeing the old version of Lord Bayle who was trying to get away from Theseus's head, but the chair that was tied to him limited his movements.

And every time Lord Bayle had inched away from it, Calleb would nudge Theseus's head so it would roll toward his father again.

And another two minutes passed.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.

Only when his voice had turned very hoarse and he was no longer able to scream, did Calleb crouch down and started talking to the pale faced old dragon lord.

"You told the devils about this place and caused this to happen? Do you think you will be left unscathed?" Calleb asked in an eerie tone, as he glanced at the head. "Tell me what else do you know about the devils? What else are their plans?"

Lord Bayle didn't speak for a few seconds, as he threw the Beta a nasty glare. "Do you think I will tell you anything?" he bit out each and every word through gritted teeth. "I will not tell you anything, you filthy dog!"

"Wrong answer, Lord Bayle." Calleb stood up and raised his feet to stomp on Theseus's head until it crushed under the pressure with blood spraying on Lord Bayle's face, turning him crazy.
