Novel Bin Chapter 189 He Saw Her!
"We think some witches are joining the vampire rebels. With their help, the vampires succeeded in infiltrating the headquarters. But don\'t worry. We only had four casualties at that time and they just destroyed the underground prison to rescue their fellow vampires," Vladimir explained to Serena, answering her query. He made sure that Serena would not think that only one vampire attacked them.
"Any adjustment you\'ve made on your part after the incident?" Serena continued interrogating them.
"We heightened the security system further. So rest assured that it will not happen again, our Queen," Cedric spoke up, reassuring Serena.
Serena just nodded her head. She felt like Cedric and Vladimir were very tense today.
\'Are they nervous? But Why?\' She mused to herself.
"I want to see the underground prison," Serena said firmly.
"Sure, our Queen. This way please," Cedric was very polite and respectful towards Serena. He knew how much Dominique doted on his wife. They couldn\'t afford to offend her.
Cedric, Serena, and others proceeded to the underground prison. They hadn\'t caught any vampires so the prison cells were empty.
Serena went inside as if she was conducting a thorough inspection. While she was doing that, Cedric received a call from the lobby.
He excused himself first to answer the phone call. When the call got connected, he heard the voice of someone he didn\'t want to hear at this moment.
"It\'s me, Kira. Where are you? Let\'s talk." Kira used the front desk telephone.
Meanwhile, Cedric\'s eyes widened and his body began to sweat coldly. What great timing did he have? Kira visited the Triple W Headquarters while Serena was doing an inspection. Dominique might also come to fetch Serena once he was done with his goal today.
"I\'m busy today. Let\'s talk some other day," Cedric was sending Kira away but even before he hung up the phone, Kira said something that threatened Cedric to the core.
"I saw Dominique Silvano a while ago. I know he is here in the Human World."
Those words made Cedric panic. "Go to my office. Wait for me there. Let\'s talk."
Cedric heard Kira chuckle. He cursed him inwardly. He knew Kira was doing this to make him obey and follow what he wanted. It\'s very effective in blackmailing Cedric.
"Good. Don\'t make me wait for too long," Kira said before hanging up the phone.
Cedric was grinding his teeth as he looked at his phone screen. After calming himself down, he approached Vladimir and Serena.
"Forgive me, my Queen. I can\'t accompany you for now because I have a very important meeting to attend. Is it okay if Vladimir will be the one to escort you and guide you around here?"
"Okay. It\'s fine," Serena simply said.
Cedric glanced at Vladimir meaningfully before he turned around to leave. With just eye contact, Vladimir could tell that this was an urgent matter.
\'I will just ask him later. For now, I have to focus on entertaining Serena,\' Vladimir thought as he watched Cedric\'s back drifting away from them.
A few minutes later, Cedric arrived at his office. Kira was already there, leisurely sitting on the couch as he waited for Cedric.
"It only took you five minutes to arrive here. I thought you were busy?" Kira said mockingly, checking his wristwatch.
Cedric tried his best to control his anger. "Why are you here? What do you want?"
"You know what I want. EVELYN ZHOU." A cold glint flashed through Kira\'s eyes. "Where did you hide her?"
"I don\'t know what you are talking about." Cedric continued to feign innocence, pretending he didn\'t know anything.
Hearing this response, Kira stood up and walked towards the door. Cedric frowned as Kira was about to leave.
\'Did he believe me? Is he not going to ask me more?\' Cedric wondered as he watched Kira in puzzlement.
Kira held the doorknob and stopped. "I\'m only giving you one last chance. If you don\'t want to tell me the truth then I have no choice but to tell Dominique Silvano about your plan. Remember, we have a blood compact but you are the first one to break it when you helped Evelyn escape."
Cedric felt alarmed when he heard that. So Kira still believed that they were the ones who helped Evelyn. But he had no concrete proof. Was he bluffing? But he sounded very serious. Cedric didn\'t want to take a risk. Evelyn Zhou was not worth it.
"Kira, Wait!!!" Cedric called him out when he opened the door to leave.
Kira smiled inwardly. He was just testing Cedric. Now he confirmed it. Cedric really knew where Evelyn was.
"I have no choice. We need a gatekeeper to open the portal for Dominique Silvano. Evelyn is the only available gatekeeper so we have to take her out of the prison," Cedric explained to Kira.
"I will give you the address of her hideout. You can take her back," he added.
This time Kira turned around, facing Cedric. He raised his eyebrow and said, "This is the first and last time I will give you consideration. If you break our agreement again, I will show Dominique all our conversations. You will definitely die in his hand as he hates traitors the most."
"Okay. I understand."
Cedric gave Kira the exact address where Evelyn Zhou was hiding right now. Since Vladimir was busy entertaining Serena, he would not be able to protect nor save Evelyn from Kira.
Kira didn\'t want to stay longer in that headquarters so he left Cedric\'s office right away after getting Evelyn\'s address.
While he was riding the elevator, the lift stopped at the 2nd floor as some employees were about to go to the lobby as well. When the door of the elevator was opened, Kira caught a glimpse of a woman who was escorted by so many bodyguards.
His heart skipped a beat when he saw her face. "Selene… she is here..." He froze in his spot but his eyes were fixed on her.
The door was about to close when Serena turned in his direction, meeting Kira\'s gaze.
