THE KIDNAPPER WAS KIDNAPPED

Simon drove the car as if challenging the night, and from the backseat, Evie could see how his wrinkled hands continued to shake even after the two of them had left the dark end of the alley where the tiny house was.

Before the car sped on the smooth asphalt once again, Evie asked Simon to put the big black wolf in the trunk of the car, which the old man managed to do with great difficulty. Even if the big black wolf was sleeping, it was indeed not easy for the old man to drag it into the trunk of the car because the wolf was too big and too heavy for the old man.

Thankfully, Simon was still able to do the job, and that's why the car was able to drive away from the tiny house.

Evie was sitting in the back seat resting the back of her head on the back of the seat. Her pair of eyes were no longer bloody red and had returned to normal. She looked pale and tired, but she could still see how Simon kept glancing at her in the rearview mirror.

"I'll be fine, Simon! We live in the modern era now, and everything is peaceful here. I don't need to fight anyone, and that's why I don't need my vampire ability. I can continue living normally even without those abilities," Evie broke the uncomfortable silence in the car when she couldn't stand the atmosphere anymore.

She knew that her subordinate was only worried about her, but she had done everything tonight, and that was why there was no turning back at this point.

Before she lost her vampire abilities, she managed to put the big black wolf to sleep, and that's why Simon was able to drag the wolf into the trunk of the car.

That was indeed one of the things she could do with her Hypnotize ability. Once her eyes managed to lock onto her target's eyes, she could do anything with the target. No matter what she ordered her target to do, the target would not be able to say no, and they could only comply with her every order.

That was why the big black wolf also couldn't say no when Evie asked him to sleep. In an instant, the big black wolf was sleeping like a log, and it also couldn't remember what it should do on a full moon night.

The Hypnotizing ability was powerful, but it came at a price, and that was the reason why Simon didn't look happy even though they managed to take the werewolf with them.

"I know we live in a peaceful modern world now, but your vampire abilities are still important, My Lady," Simon replied to the woman sitting in the backseat. "Now, you probably won't be able to see clearly when the atmosphere is too dark. Your strength and immunity will decrease, and you will become like a normal human for ten years. It's too risky, My Lady."

Evie didn't immediately reply to the old man, and she just silently looked out the car window to see how dark the road they were driving down was. Suddenly, her surroundings seemed dimmer than usual. It wasn't like she immediately turned blind, but it was obvious that her vision wasn't that sharp anymore.

"And you still remember about the kidnapper who dared to kidnap you twice, right, My Lady?" Simon asked a question when the woman didn't answer. "There may be someone behind that person, and there is no guarantee that you won't suffer the same attack in the future. It's too dangerous if you don't have vampire abilities anymore."

Simon continued his tirade. The old man was just like her father now, and Evie somehow sensed that she wasn't alone even though the old man sounded so noisy. After all, Simon was indeed her only family after her parents died, and that was why she could understand the old man being worried about her.

Naturally, Simon was worried because she had risked everything just to get a werewolf in her hands. Hypnotizing ability was indeed a forbidden ability among vampires. If a vampire used it on a human, they wouldn't be able to use their vampire abilities for five years, but if they used it on a werewolf, the penalty would last for ten years. So, Evie wouldn't be able to use her vampire abilities for ten years.

She insisted that it wouldn't be a big deal since this era was peaceful and there were no more wars, but she knew Simon's point was correct. As Evie flashed back memories of her captor trying to kidnap her twice, she knew it would be more dangerous for her when she couldn't use her vampire abilities anymore, but then she remembered something else that made her feel better.

"About the kidnapper, the werewolf helped me to defeat him, and we're keeping him in the mansion now, right? We can interrogate him as soon as we get back to the city, and I'm sure we'll figure out his motives soon enough. You don't have to—" Before Evie could finish what she wanted to say, she could feel her cell phone vibrate in her coat pocket, which was why she frowned in displeasure before pointing her hand to remove the device from her pocket.

"Who called me this late?" Annoyed, she asked a question while reading the caller ID displayed on her cellphone screen.

Someone dared to interrupt her conversation, and that was why she was annoyed by it, but she answered the call anyway.

"What is it?" Without saying hello, Evie asked the person who had called her. The frown remained on her forehead as she carefully listened to the person's reply, but then her eyes widened in shock after the person finished explaining. "What? The mansion was attacked, and the kidnapper was taken away? Are you going to say that the kidnapper was kidnapped? How could such a thing happen?"
