Chapter 1310
When Hubson heard Noreen’s familiar voice, his expression darkened. “It’s really you,” he said with so much hatred. “I can’t believe you were able to resurrect. Why didn’t you just die already?”
Hubson gritted his teeth when he said that last sentence.
Rufus and I immediately stood in front of Beryl to protect her.
“Get out of my way. I have to kill her,” Hubson growled.
“Quit dreaming, you bastard! You’ll die before me!” Noreen seemed to know that Rufus and I would protect her at all costs, so she dared to provoke Hubson complacently. “The Black Death Curse will make you die a horrible death. You’ll suffer, deteriorating until you’re nothing but a withered corpse, while I’ll be
reborn! Ha-ha!”
Noreen was so arrogant, which made me so angry. It was clear that she was saying all these things just so that Hubson would take action.
Sure enough, Hubson roared angrily, “Shut the f**k up, Noreen! Today is your last day on this earth! Even if I die, you’ll die with me!”
Even though I hated Noreen with every fiber of my being, I still had to protect her. After all, she was still in Beryl’s body. If Beryl’s body was destroyed, Beryl’s
soul could never come back.
So when Hubson tried to attack her, I didn’t hesitate to take the blow. Noreen just sat in bed, watching all the action with a complacent smile.
“Hubson, just give up. You can’t hurt me. You’re wasting what precious little time you have left.”
“Shut up!” With bloodshot eyes, I turned around and roared at Noreen fiercely.
Rufus had also joined the fight, and Hubson couldn’t defeat Rufus at least, not in this condition. Hubson retreated to the door and stopped attacking for the time being.
He narrowed his eyes at me and Rufus and finally proposed a deal. “Give me the child and I promise I’lI never trespass on werewolf territory again. We’ll sign a peace treaty between the two races, and we’ll even give you the better end of the deal. For starters, we vampires can retreat five hundred miles from south of the border.”
Rufus sneered at him coldly. “It seems that you really want to live.”
“It’s not a big price to pay in exchange for my life,” Hubson said with a smile.
The next second, he doubled over and coughed violently. It seemed that the fight just now had consumed a lot of his strength.
1 kept silent, racking my brains for a solution.
The stalemate seemed to make Noreen anxious. She shouted madly, “What the hell are you two thinking? Are you actually considering his offer? Don’t listen to his bullshit. My death won’t do you any good. Hubson won’t keep his word; he’s a vengeful man!”
I glanced at Noreen and found that she was so anxious that her face turned red.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
When she saw me looking at her, she suddenly put on a pitiful expression and cried, “Mommy, help me! You don’t want to see me die, right? I don’t want to die! Please, Mommy!”
“Shut the f**k up, Noreen!”
Seeing Noreen use Beryl’s voice to plead with me, I was instantly enraged. I turned to Hubson and said, “I also want Noreen to die a horrible death. But as you can see, she’s in my daughter’s body now. I can’t just give her to you.”
“Then let’s just fight.” Hubson raised his hand, ordering his subordinates to surround the place.
1 exchanged glances with Rufus. Finally. I said firmly, “Hubson, just give up. I know you’re weak now. Otherwise, you would’ve taken action already and wouldn’t have talked so much nonsense with me. Just leave while you still have the chance. Our army will arrive soon. You think you and your men will be able to make it out of here alive by then?”
“Yes, that’s right! The curse is killing him. He’ll die soon. As long as you fight back, you’ll win!” Noreen shouted fervently. She spoke very fast, as if she was afraid that Rufus and I would actually hand her over.
Hubson laughed dryly. “Since you know that I’m dying, you should also know that I’ll fight for my life, no matter the cost-even if it means killing the child!”
