Outside the passage, after hearing all the information, Draco said to the two, "Let's go, let's go out and meet these Werewolf."

Hermione nodded, ready to deal with any unexpected situations.

Trillian held her breath, a hint of tension and excitement in her eyes, her heart beating slightly faster as she followed the two.

However, they had only taken a couple of steps when the long-haired man in the passage suddenly sharpened his gaze, abruptly turning his head towards the entrance and saying in a deep voice, "Someone's coming."

With a low shout, the long-haired man darted out of the passage, followed closely by Raze, and the entire group of Werewolf followed warily behind.

Once outside the passage, everyone tensed up, ready to search for any trace of the intruders. But all they could see were dripping water droplets and muddy ground; the surroundings were empty.

But they had absolute faith in their leader's abilities; if he said someone had come, then someone must have come.

Under the Disillusionment Charm, Trillian watched the Werewolf ' comical display of fear and utter failure, her heart pounding. An unprecedented thrill surged through her; the feeling of toying with her enemy right under their noses was simply too good to pass up.

The long-haired leader Lucian, sniffed the air, pinpointing the exact location of Draco and his companions' hiding place. "Come out."

Trillian was suddenly startled: Had they been discovered?

Now that his whereabouts had been exposed, Draco saw no need to hide any longer and waved his hand to dispel the Disillusionment Charm on his body.

As the magical ripples dissipated, the three figures reappeared. Draco smiled and said politely:

"Nice to meet you, please take care of me."

Hermione, standing beside him, suppressed a smile; Draco's polite greeting was rather amusing.

As the three figures suddenly appeared, the Werewolf were in an uproar. They had been scanning and checking carefully the whole time, and none of them expected that the three people had been standing right in front of them from beginning to end!

"Invisibility?!"

"So they really are wizards?!"

The Werewolf whispered amongst themselves, discussing the matter.

The long-haired man slowly scanned the three of them, then asked uncertainly, "Are you the three wizards that Raze mentioned?"

"It's them," Raze confirmed.

These words caused an uproar among the Werewolf.

Surprised and suspicious gazes fell upon the three of them.

To these Werewolf who had been fighting for years, Draco and Hermione looked like young, uneducated Britain boys and girls, plus a slightly older Trillian. The three of them looked thin and didn't seem like powerful wizards at all.

They sized up Draco and his two companions. One of them was a blond young man who looked to be in his early twenties, tall and slender, dressed in ordinary casual clothes, and didn't seem particularly impressive.

One of the Werewolf chuckled and muttered, "This brat and two little girls captured Captain Raze and the vampire? I find it hard to believe."

No other ones.

Trillian broke the silence, looking at the long-haired man and teasingly saying, "I didn't expect you to have such a sensitive nose. Even though we used invisibility, you could still smell our location."

Upon hearing this, a Werewolf standing in the front row scoffed, his tone laced with arrogance and disdain. "You humans have such pitiful noses, you can't even distinguish the smell of blood from ten meters away. It's just our instinct."

Faced with disdain, Trillian smiled and said, "In a place like the sewers, having a sensitive nose isn't a good thing."

Hearing what Trillian said, the Werewolf had been so arrogant just moments before, deflated like a punctured balloon, his superior tone vanishing without a trace. "You're right. The stench here fills our brains; it gives us headaches after a while. Those vampires can stay comfortably in the castle, while we have to endure this pungent, foul air."

The Werewolf immediately shared the same feeling.

"That's enough," Raze said, stopping them.

"Now is not the time for idle chatter and complaining."

The Werewolf fell silent and kept quiet.

The long-haired man looked at Draco and went straight to the point:

What are you doing here?

"I'm asking for your help," Draco said.

The wolves were all stunned, and even Raze was a little incredulous:

"You wizards are so powerful, you can easily subdue even us and vampires, why would you need our help?"

Draco smiled slightly and explained to them, "That's because there are some things you can't do for us."

Upon hearing Draco's words, the Werewolf exchanged glances, their tense shoulders unconsciously relaxing.

A hint of pride and joy shone in their eyes. After all, even powerful wizards were asking for favors from them, the Werewolf, which greatly satisfied their long-suppressed pride.

The long-haired man's eyes flickered, and he solemnly extended an invitation. "Since this is a matter for seeking help, please move to the inner room for a detailed discussion."

Draco nodded, then led Hermione and the other woman to follow the long-haired man and Raze, leaving a group of Werewolf behind, excitedly discussing the situation.

The three of them walked through the wolf pack and ventured deep into the innermost part of the stronghold. To everyone's surprise, deep within the filthy and chaotic sewers, there was actually a clean, tidy, simple yet elegant independent office.

The interior features simple sofas, wooden tables, and lighting; it's dry and clean, a stark contrast to the dirty, messy sewer drains outside.

Trillian exclaimed in amazement, "I never imagined that such a sewer-like place could have such a neat and comfortable room."

"This used to be the old-fashioned drainage control room, which we later converted into a base," the long-haired man explained briefly.

The three sat down on the sofa. Lucian sat on the single sofa on the right, while Raze took on the role of pouring water, giving each of them a glass of water and placing it on the coffee table in front of them.

After they were seated, the long-haired man introduced himself to the three of them, "My name is Lucian, and I am the leader of this Werewolf pack."

"Hello, Mr. Lucian." Draco nodded in response, then politely introduced himself and introduced Hermione and Trillian beside him. He then apologized to Raze, who was standing to the side, saying, "Please forgive me for my previous offense."

"It's nothing," Raze quickly waved his hand.

Draco nodded, not dwelling on the topic, but instead changing the subject to get to the main point:

"We are wizards from Britain. I have a Werewolf subordinate there who cannot control his transformation. Every full moon, he turns into a wolf and loses his mind."

"I heard that there's a new Werewolf clan in North America that's unaffected by the full moon, so I came here specifically to find a solution. I never expected to run into you all by accident."

After hearing the explanation, Lucian and Raze's expressions subtly changed. They realized that the three were not enemies, but simply foreign wizards who had come to resolve the bloodline defect of their subordinates.

After a brief silence, Raze posed the biggest question at the moment, "If you came here because of the Werewolf bloodline issue, then why did you capture the vampires in the first place?"
