Catherine immediately entered the cave. The situation is very complicated. She had to report everything to Alice.
"This is terrible," Alice said frantically.
"What happened?" Alice asked.
"Two men at Lee's house were attacked. They fell into the cave over there. Then Daniel ..." Catherine broke off.
"Daniel why!?!" Alice immediately stood up. Hearing that name called her heart immediately felt restless.
"I didn't see it. Did Alex catch it!?!"
"What?" Alice widened her eyes. It had only been two days since she had seen the young man something bad had happened so quickly. Alex is back at it again. Will the man take Daniel as a hostage so he can give up her crystal? Do not expect. Prince Daniel was dead, she himself had stabbed him. The Daniel they caught was just the same. Or maybe this was just Alex's ploy. Using a lookalike to make him hand over the crystal.
Meanwhile, in the chest Daniel wakes up. He was surprised to be in a narrow room. After looking around he realized that he was in a chest. Daniel banged on the board in front of him and screamed for help. He panicked. Was he buried alive?
"Please! Get me out of here!" shouted Daniel. He hit back the lid of the crate that was above him.
"Help!" shouted Daniel trying to punch the lid and kick the board in front of his feet.
Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps. The crate seemed to move for quite a while.
"Who is it? Please get me out?" shouted Daniel.
The crate stops. Daniel was silent. He felt an uncomfortable feeling. Soon the lid of the coffin opened. A stranger looked at him. Daniel was immediately pulled by him then tied his hands together. Daniel struggled but to no avail. He was dragged away and then his bound hands were hanged. Daniel stood with his hands tied and hanged.
"Who are you? What did I do wrong?" asked Daniel cluelessly.
The man didn't say anything. He pulled out a chair and sat across from Daniel.
"I'm curious. You really don't remember me at all?" asked Ben.
Daniel looked at Ben. No matter how many times he tried the man in front of him was a stranger.
"Who are you? I don't know you. Isn't this the first time we've met," said Daniel.
Ben stared in disbelief.
"You want to trick me? Do you realize that Alex and I have tricked you and manipulated Jane as a killing machine," Ben tried to provoke Daniel's emotions again. If he is angry, it means that Daniel is indeed Prince Daniel.
"Jane? What are you talking about? Jane who I don't understand?" Daniel is confused. He really didn't know what he was talking about.
"Are you forgetting, or are you pretending to forget Daniel. Jane is your step sister whom you secretly married. But we manipulated Jane and made her kill many people including stabbing you. But I didn't think you were still alive," said Ben.
"What?" Daniel is confused. But he felt familiar with the name Jane. He tried to remember something and finally remembered the name.
"From your expression you seem to know something. Do you remember?" asked Ben.
"So you also think I'm Daniel Xavier? So the reason for all this. You think I'm Daniel Xavier? Has everyone gone crazy! I'm not him!" shouted Daniel angrily.
Ben slapped him in the face. The slap was so hard that it immediately made thick blood flow in Daniel's mouth. With annoyance Daniel spat blood that was so fishy.
"Are people crazy!?! I'm sick of being mistaken for Daniel Xavier. Does having the same face and the same name make you feel like you have the right that I am him!" shouted Daniel in frustration. "I'm not him! You are crazy to think that the dead can rise again!"
Ben immediately grabbed Daniel's hair back. Daniel's head snapped up. Ben brought his face closer.
"Don't scream in front of me, you understand!?!" Ben's eyes turned red.
Seeing that Daniel was frightened. Her legs were shaking.
"Who are you really?" said Daniel with a pale face.
Ben let go of Daniel's head. He turned into a vampire. Red eyes and fangs sticking out between his lips.
"You... Monster!?!" said Daniel scared.
Ben drew closer to Daniel.
"Don't come any closer! My blood is bitter you understand! I have high blood sugar and other contagious viruses!" shouted Daniel in terror.
Ben came closer and kissed Daniel's temple.
"What are you doing? Let me go," Daniel pleaded.
Ben doesn't smell a vampire on Daniel's body at all even though he turns into a vampire. Daniel is like a normal human being. Is he really just a lookalike? To be sure, Ben scratched Daniel's neck with his pointy fingernail. He tasted Daniel's blood.
"What are you doing? It hurts!?!" shouted Daniel feeling a pain in his neck.
Ben tasted Daniel's blood. Delicious but different from the usual Daniel's blood. Ben was confused. It seemed that the Daniel in front of him was really an ordinary Daniel. It wasn't the Daniel they knew.
Knowing this Ben let Daniel go. He left without a word. Ben's departure makes Daniel breathe a sigh of relief. He almost died ridiculous being killed by a blood-sucking creature.
Daniel looked around. He knew it was at the edge of the forest. Through the glass wall beside him. He saw many trees there. He also heard rumors that the village head's house on the edge of the forest was bought by someone from the city. Did the village chief cooperate with the vampire?
Daniel racked his brain thinking about the many possibilities. But only one thing that made him relieved from all that happened. Luckily Lee and Jo weren't around. They are both in a safe place.
Daniel thrashed trying to find a chance to untie the knots in his hands. The bond is very strong. If you scream for help, no one will come. It's free to do it. He hoped that Tommy and the person who had just arrived at his house would come to help soon. At least Tommy is a cop. He will definitely help her.
All the misfortune that befell him just because he had the same face and name as Daniel Xavier. Actually how Daniel Xavier's life was. What's his business with the blood-sucking creatures, Alice and some people who meet him just because they think he is Daniel Xavier.
Daniel sighed. He remembered Lee's teaching, that in any situation one must be calm. He must focus in order to find a way out and escape from that place. Daniel closed his eyes. Calm yourself while standing as if meditating. Balance himself and focus only on the void. He can't be afraid. Calm like water and can destroy anything like water.
Daniel opened his eyes. He looked around and saw where the rope was tied. It turned out that the rope was tied to a log that ran across the roof of the house. Daniel had to think of a solution to escape. If he can't go through the rope, it means he has to wait for another opportunity.
