Perry’s eyes grew more scarlet as he saw the state Mina was in. Vampires’ eyes turned red when they’d been infuriated, and Perry’s eyes were now so red they seemed to bleed.


    Perry was furious. He red at the red-skirted woman, who stood on the high tform, and yelled: “Do you not think that you have gone too far?”


    “Too far? I’m simply enacting the rules of my blood hunter order. What does it have to do with you? Who are you to question our punishment?” the red-skirted woman indifferently responded.


    Perry looked tense. Somewhat domineeringly, he replied, “What if I insist on taking Mina away today? She is mine. Since when has she be yours to punish?”


    “Mina grew up in the blood hunter order. She is part of us, whether in life or death. Have you embraced her? If not, then how is she yours?” The red-skirted woman arched her eyebrows. Her eyes looked stern and severe as they swept over both Perry and Mina.


    The red-skirted woman resembled a thorny rose as she looked at Mina with her cold and harsh eyes. “Is this how you repay the blood hunter order, who have raised you? The blood hunter order has its own rules. Anyone who breaks it must naturally be punished.”


    Mina lowered her head. She didn’t dare to meet the red-skirted woman’s piercing eyes.


    “Darlene, whatever you’re after you should talk to me directly. What need is there for you to put a teenage girl in this kind of situation?” Perry coldly said. His anger had turned his eyes scarlet. Combined with his delicate face, it made him look extraordinarily devilishly charming.


    His bared sharp teeth made him look like he could snap and bite someone to death at any given moment.“What if I insist on taking her away today? If you are determined not to allow it, a battle will definitely break out between the vampires and the blood hunter order,” Perry threatened.


    The red-skirted woman, Darlene, coldly stared at him. “And if I refuse?”


    “Then I have no other choice,” Perry said, feigning helplessness.


    Ning Shu suddenly stepped out of the crowd. She cleared her throat and said to Darlene, the leader of the blood hunter order, “Actually, we can let Mina go.”


    Darlene coldly stared at Ning Shu. “Whoever speaks out in Mina’s defense will be given the same sentence as her.”


    “You’ve got it all wrong about Mina, though,” Ning Shu said. “Mina would never betray the blood hunter order.”


    “Oh? How so?” Darlene seemed curious. If Mina indeed didn’t betray the blood hunter order, then it’d be so embarrassing for Perry to have pointlesslye to her rescue.


    Perry stared down and watched them. His fangs were twitching; his face was condescending.


    Mina: …?


    Mina herself thought that she had betrayed the blood hunter order. After all, she did indeed harbor feelings for Perry.


    Yet Molly was suddenly saying that she didn’t betray the blood hunter order. What was going on?


    She was the one who had ratted her out. When she had asked for her help just now, she had also ignored her. Why was she jumping out to her defense now?


    What exactly did Molly want?


    Was she trying to act good and curry favor with Perry?


    Could it be that Molly also liked Perry, and that was why she was acting like this in front of Perry?


    The more Mina thought about it, the more furious she became. This girl was too two-faced.


    She previously said that she would never betray the blood hunter order for love, and would definitely be firm in her position and principles.


    However, she was now trying to curry favor with the man Mina liked!


    Mina opened her mouth but couldn’t get out a squeak. She could only anxiously look at Perry.


    Don’t! Don’t listen to her words! She betrayed me…


    Mina had a thousand words that she wanted to say, but she couldn’t. The smile on Ning Shu’s face had given her a horrible premonition.


    “Mina actually did this all on purpose. She nned to have Perry bring the vampires and rescue her, so they’d be trapped here and we could eliminate the more powerful vampires in his ranks. This way, the vampires will be weakened,” Ning Shu said to Darlene.


    “Mina and I have a poor performance record. That’s why we came up with this n,” spouted Ning Shu, bullshitting without even so much as batting an eye.


    She painted Mina as a great benevolent girl, who has dedicated herself so deeply to the blood hunter order that she was even willing to sacrifice herself.
