Chapter 127: Stacked Against Him

Xander glared at Damon, his fists clenched and trembling with barely contained anger. 

"You honorless mongrel… you stole my kill!"

Damon sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose as if dealing with a child. 

"I save you, and you insult me… and I'm the mongrel?"

Xander's teeth ground together, his fury barely held in check.

"That's enough you two, we're supposed to be working together," Evangeline interjected, her voice firm yet calm as she stepped between them. 

She exhaled softly, her eyes filled with a mix of exhaustion and patience.

Sylvia approached Damon with an impressed smile. Her gaze fell to his reddened fingers as she gently took his hand in hers.

"Amazing… you must be insane. I can't believe you actually did it," she said, awe lacing her voice.

Damon glanced at her, his tone indifferent. "I did. So what?"

Sylvia looked up at him, her expression shifting between astonishment and curiosity.
