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

Seeing that, Neil continued, "You're right, Mr. Stuart. We have our differences, and I think the bestcourse of action right now is for everyone to calm down and take a step back."

Everyone remained silent, in agreement with Neil.

Then, Neil added, "We ask that Mr. Stuart and Mr. Everheart come into the village to talk to US alone. Iknow you both are concerned, and it's normal for you to be. Mr. Stuart, please tell US what yourcondition is, and we'll try our best to fulfill it if we can." Then, he carefully looked at Silas. "Dad, what doyou think?"

Silas didn't want to make a scene. If these men destroyed the village, Dragos' centuries-old legacywould end because of him, and it would be a great sin. Hence, he finally yielded. "Fine. What's yourcondition?" "I can go into your village with you, but your daughter has to be kept as a hostage on ourside until we reach a successful negotiation," Xavier said simply. He was someone who always had abackup plan, and was not as trusting as Quinton.

"Excuse me?" Silas' eyes widened in rage. The thought of Xavier keeping his beloved daughter as ahostage 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.

"Dad, calm down!" Sabrina stopped Silas. "I think Mr. Stuart's condition is acceptable. They trust me,and we should trust them too. You all just need to negotiate well. I don't mind going to their side untilthe 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 theirword and try to harm you both, feel free to kill me."

Surprised, Xavier gave Sabrina a thumbs-up. "I think you and your husband are the only normal peoplein 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 whileElijah and Chase kept Sabrina as a hostage. Elijah and Chase looked at each other in dismay as theywatched 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'llsacrifice this woman for the sake of revenge."

People could lose all rationality when it came to their beliefs. Dragos' villagers believed in the dragon,and Stefan had disrespected it. They definitely wouldn't let him off the hook that easily.
