Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 273 Sylvester Talks About Records of Wolves

Trenton noticed Scarlett's expression. Her face went pale, and her fists were clenched. It seemed she was worried and scared. So he quickly raised his hand to cover Scarlett's fist with his large palm. His voice was gentle and carried a mysterious sense of comfort as he said, "Scarlett, don't be afraid. There are so many people here. Those wolves can't hurt you. And besides, I'm here. I'll protect you."

As he spoke, he slowly pry open Scarlett's clenched fist and held her hand to give her enough security.

Scarlett lowered her eyes and stared in shock at the large hand holding hers. Her eyes slightly reddened.

She thought to herself, 'No! Trenton has no idea what is ahead of them.'

He didn't know that she was a girl raised by the wolf leader.

She had seen the wolf leader kill a man who was nearly 6.5 feet tall. The man's head was bitten off.

The wolf leader harbored a deep hatred for humans. He even threw pieces of the man's body into different places.

Even when the wolf pack faced a shortage of supplies in winter, he disdained eating human flesh because the prideful wolf leader considered humans from the outside world dirty and unworthy of his mouth.

But with the wolf leader coming here, Scarlett was equally afraid that the wolf leader would get hurt.

No! She couldn't let Trenton and the wolf leader get hurt. She just couldn't!

Philip moved from the stool and came to the disciple and asked, "Is anyone injured?"

Hearing this, the disciple thought for a moment and said in puzzlement, "It is strange that there hasn't been a bloodbath here despite there being so many wolves eyeing us outside. But the male wolves, under the command of their leader, are staying very calm and haven't made any rash moves. They have surrounded the Divine Doctor Association base, but there are no casualties."

Martin and Lloyd also came to Philip, heard the disciple's words, and were astonished. "Why?"

The disciple was confused as he said, "I don't know either. Everyone is very worried. Please, help us out."

Philip pondered for a while and said, "Tell the snipers to get ready and the trap setters to prepare in secret, but stay still. And gather all other disciples now."  

The disciple cupped his fists and said, "Yes."

Then he strode out.

Sylvester listened to this, and his sharp eyes swept over everyone. His gaze lingered on Scarlett for a moment. He squinted his eye as his slender hand gently pinched Lela's earlobe, and then he spoke, "I once read a record that said wolves value their possessions the most. If someone or some beast takes something of theirs, they will follow the scent, relentlessly find that person, take back their possession, and then hunt them down."  

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Scarlett couldn't help but shiver.

The wolf leader was indeed here to retrieve his possession.

Trenton immediately noticed Scarlett's reaction. He squeezed Scarlett's hand, and gently said, "Scarlett, no need to be afraid. I'm here."

Sylvester curled his lips with a playful glint flashing in his eyes.

He thought to himself, 'How Interesting!

'Coming to the Divine Doctor Association was worthwhile.'

Hearing this, Lela climbed into Sylvester's arms and whispered in curiosity, "Sylvester, will anyone get hurt?"

Although she had played with Big White since childhood, she had never heard of such a record.

Sylvester withdrew the playful look in his eyes, lowered his gaze to the little one in his arms, raised his hand to pinch Lela's chin gently, and raised an eyebrow as he said, "Lela, wolves are naturally bloodthirsty and cold, especially since they are beasts. But, I promise, no one will get hurt this time."

Lela blinked, thought for a moment, then sat on Sylvester's lap, hugged his neck, and leaned close to him as she whispered in his ear, "Sylvester, do you know anything that we don't?"
