Chapter 1692 "He escaped?" Xavier was initially confused, but when he walked over to where Quinton was standing and looked up, he saw an air vent around seven meters above the ground in the dark room. It was about the size of a well, and though it was quite small, an agile person might be able to escape through it. Additionally, there were sfootprints on the wall.

"He escaped from here?" Silas looked up at the narrow air vent incredulously. "No, it can't be. This air vent is so small, and it'd be hard for someone to crawl out of it. Plus... it's a straight cliff beyond this passage without anything to lean onto. If anyone tried escaping, they'd surely fall to their death!" "What... What did you say?" Xavier's eyes grew wide, and he quickly crawled into the passage and punched open the iron grill on the air vent.
Dim light entered the room, making it look more eerie. Xavier stuck his head out of the air vent, and was shocked to see the scene before him.
"No! It can't be!" Bewildered, Xavier becunsteady and fell back down. He looked dazed as he kept muttering, "Stefan wouldn't leave from there. He's not that dumb!" Quinton frowned, then crawled out of the air vent and looked outside. It was just as Silas said-there was nothing except vast darkness and an endless cliff. The biting wind made him feel lonely, and he quickly went back down.

"Ugh..." Silas knew that the situation was bad, and he rubbed his hands together, feeling ill at ease. "I'm so sorry, | didn't expect that he would crawl out of here. We thought-" "Sorry?" Xavier's eyes were wild as he rushed over and strangled Silas." What's the use of having laws if saying sorry could change things? If you're sorry, crawl out of this hole and see what it feels like to die x He couldn't imagine what Stefan had experienced, and was determined to seek revenge for hiff* He lifted Silas up by the collar and tried to stuff him into the passage.
Instantly, the guards rushed in to stop him, ready to fight. "What are you doing? Let Mr. Drago go!” Quinton also tried to stop Xavier, and said seriously. "Let him go. It was an accident." "You're right-it's an accident. So, it'll also be an accident if I throw this rat out of the hole!" Xavier was so furious he couldn't think straight. He was determined to make Silas pay with his life.
