Chapter 1683

Neil lowered his head, trembling in fear. He glanced at Elijah pleadingly." Mr. Young, please help me. Idid what you all told me; I didn't do anything wrong."

"Mr. Stuart, it was my decision, not Neil's. Punish me if you want, but leave him out of this." Elijahclosed his eyes, preparing for Xavier's attack. He had expected such a reaction when he made thatchoice. Stefan and Renee had both been on the verge of death, and Elijah had chosen to save Reneebecause he knew that was what Stefan would do. If he chose to save Stefan and lost the dragon'ssaliva, he would have lost the chance to save Renee, and Stefan would have suffered even more.Elijah didn't want to see Stefan have such regrets.

"Elijah, you're Stefan's most trusted subordinate. How could you betray him? Why?" Xavier's furyturned into confusion. He knew Elijah's loyalty towards Stefan was stronger than Xavier's friendshipwith Stefan; Even if everyone had abandoned Stefan, Elijah would never do such a thing.

"I did it because I knew that Mr. Hunt would ask me to make that choice. Plus, I believe he's capable ofhandling the villagers," Elijah confessed honestly, but now, he wondered if he had been too optimistic.After all, the villagers in Dragos were beyond the reach of the law, and their mentality was quiteprimitive because of their location.

"There's no use talking about that now," Quinton said finally. He turned and instructed Chase, "Getready and replace some reliable men. We're setting off."

Xavier narrowed his eyes at Quinton suspiciously. "What are you up to now? n

Quinton shot Xavier a contemptuous look. "That's none of your business. You're all talk and no action,even when it concerns your friend. You're not useful at all."

"That's right!" Leia immediately echoed Quinton's words. "Why don't you go save Stefan instead ofpicking fights here? Quinton is much better than you in that aspect."

"How dare you!" Leia's words had bruised Xavier's ego, and he refused to admit defeat. Heimmediately picked up his phone to call his men. "All of you will see who's truly capable here!"
