Chapter 123

"We are in big trouble," Romeo whispers to Mark, and one can see the fear on his face. It's visible on his face that he hadn't seen such creatures like this in his entire life. "Perhaps, we should apologize."

"No," Mark declined, his voice firm. "That makes us look like cowards."

"Even if we are capable enough to safeguard ourselves, what about those innocent people?" Romeo argued, his finger pointing at the people who had just arrived with Drake and Rebecca.
