I don't know whether Clara escaped Lazarus's clutches or they did something to her. Lazarus just won't go straight to the point. If he hadn't kept Clara hostage, I would already blown his teeth out of his mouth.

"Are you playing tricks on us, Lazarus? Why can't you bring the girl? We brought what you asked for. Why can't you fulfill the part of your deal?" Raul inquires.

"This is not over yet. You can't expect to get the girl just because you have brought these turned humans with you. How do I know that this is going to end here? That you aren't going to come after me when you get what you want?" he asks.

This is it! I have had enough.

In a split second, I pounce onto him, landing a jaw-cracking blow on his face. He flies backwards, hitting his back on the wall behind him with a yelp. Damn! I should have done that in the very beginning. I follow him there strangling his neck. I hit his head back onto the, hoping to crack his skull.
