Hence, the negotiation helped both parties reach a compromise, and they were no longer at odds witheach other.

Silas fished out a contract, and both Quinton and Xavier put their thumbprints on it. It meant that theywould cooperate to protect Dragos and help the ancient village thrive.

"Okay, we've agreed to your request. Can you let him go now?" Xavier asked impatiently as he wipedaway the red ink on his thumb.

"Gentlemen, come with me." Silas led Xavier and Quinton to the memorial chamber, the most sacredplace in the village. Generally, only men of the village could enter it, and outsiders could not approachit, but an exception was made for Xavier and Quinton since Stefan was locked up in the innermost partof the memorial chamber.

"Ugh... This place is so strange!" When Xavier entered the memorial chamber, he saw the largestalactite statues using the dim lamp Silas had given them, and marveled at the extraordinarycraftsmanship of nature.

It amazed Quinton too. "I've seen a lot of rare things, but your village is magical. It's no wonder somany people covet it."

However, they were in no mood for sightseeing since they wanted to get to Stefan urgently. Afterwalking through some winding paths, Silas stopped in front of a dark room. He looked at themapologetically. "We locked him up in this room... I'm so sorry." "What?! How dare you lock him up here?That's..." Xavier clenched his fists, wanting to punch Silas, but held back when he remembered thecontract." Damn it!" He snarled, and kicked the door open. "Stefan, we're here to save you!"

To his surprise, the dark room was empty.

"What happened? Where is he?” Xavier looked around and found no sign of Stefan. He turned to Silasand demanded, "Didn't you say you locked him up here? Where is he? Were you trying to fool me?""No, it can't be. He must be here!" Silas entered the room and looked around, but he couldn't replaceStefan either. His face went ashen, and he stammered, "No, it... it can't be. I asked my men to lock himup here, and there are always guards around. There's no way he can go missing!’’ "Drop the act!You're a liar-you lied to US on purpose!" Xavier grabbed Silas by the collar. "Where is he? If you don'ttell me, I'll kill you!" "I didn't lie to you! It's true." Silas looked helpless.

Quinton looked around contemplatively. "Stop making things difficult for Silas-he didn't lie. Stefan isvery smart, so he might have run away on his own."
