As soon as they all saw the hostage's face, their courage to attack the demon which had its claws around David's wind pipe diminished. They all wondered how this had happened.
With all the plans that they had made, how had Azur managed to get his hands on David?
The answer was simple, Azur had made a plan of his own after he realized that he had been cornered by Phoebe. When her heard about her being that grand guardian, he knew that the hunters were not easy prey anymore. Then had proved this by eliminating ninety percent of the forces he had spent two decades cultivating. They even scared off his lackeys, the lesser demons.
So, he had turned to supernatural creatures, paying huge amounts of money, trading favors and doing all it took to acquire their services. He had sneaked them into the founding lane using the black mist as a cover. While they attacked the hunters and caused havoc all over the lane, he overpowered and grabbed his target, David Saxon.
