Next morning, everyone made their way towards the cemetery. The witches were already prepared. They held Hayley as they looked at Max and Klaus with vigilence.
At this time Sophie came forward said, "We'll give you Hayley back, but we want Divina."
Max stood in front of her and said, "We're not bargaining here. I'm here for her. I don't care whether anyone here lives or dies, that includes Hayley too, so don't think her life means anything to me."
Klaus and others didn't react. They had already made their plan together before they left. So they let Max talk.
Sophie was expecting Klaus to lash out hearing Max's statement. But to her surprise everyone had a calm face.
At this time Max moved inside the cemetery and all the witches were about to start their spells. But Max quickly made a dozen clones and charged huge ki balls.
Max looked at Sophie and said, "I know you want to finish the Harvest ritual to bring your niece back. But if you don't server your link between you and Hayley and hand her over, I'll destroy your scared ground with your niece's body. After that even if you complete the ritual I don't think your niece will come back."
Hearing this Sophie was shocked. She immediately waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay! I'll do it. You just don't do anything here." As she said this she looked towards the other witches in a apologetic way.
Soon she undid her link with Hayley, one of Max's clone checked it by cutting Sophie in her hand and saw that there was no reaction on Hayley. As soon as he did that Klaus caught Sophie by her neck and said, "How dare you threaten me using my child?" And bit her.
As the witches saw this they started their spells, but Max threw some ki balls and disintegrated three witches on the spot. After that nobody made a move. Klaus looked at Max and said, "Thanks, kid."
Sophie who just got bitten was looking at how easily Max killed the witches and was frightened. At this time she heard Klaus say, "If you wanna live after my bite, kneel in front of me. Kneel till I'm satisfied."
Even though she was weak, she didn't want to put down her dignity. She just started at him and didn't say anything.
Klaus just laughed at her and went away with Max, Hayley and his brother. Marcel watching this, went to Sophie and gave her some of Klaus' blood which he had kept in case of emergency.
Sophie looked at Marcel and thanked him. Marcel just looked at her and said, "Don't plan anything stupid around that kid. Even the Mikaelsons don't dare to play him."
She was startled hearing this, but she wasn't planning on giving up on the Harvest ritual. Now she was more determined than ever, especially after watching Max kill the witches. She thought that Max was a powerful Warlock. So she also wants to become stronger, strong enough to take care of herself in front of the Mikaelsons.

Max and others reached the Mikaelson's mansion where they stay. As soon as he entered he tired up Hayley to a chair.
Hayley looking at how Max tied her up, said, "Even the witches treated me better than this."
Everyone was watching this, but didn't say anything. So Hayley knew that this kid is the one pulling the strings. Max said after tying her up, "Now that we're settled in. I think it's about time we had a talk Hayley Marshall."
Hayley looked at Max and asked, "Who are you, kid?"
Max smiled and said, "Well, how could you not remember me? I mean you are the one who put a bounty on my head, aren't you?"
Hearing this she shivered as a name came to her mind, "Max Argent?"
Max looked at her and nodded and said, "Well, looks like there's no mistake. It is you. So care to tell me why you put a bounty on my head?"
She looked around. And saw that Klaus was still there and knew that he wouldn't let anything happen to his child inside her. As she was a Werewolf she was quite prideful and with her being pregnant she was quite moody, so she angrily said, "You can scare them witches, but you're not gonna get a single word out of me."
Max knew she was saying this because she thought he couldn't do anything to her. So Max just smiled at took two nails and said, "Well, the thing is, you might think that you're safe and I won't kill you, well yes, I won't kill you... right now. But that doesn't mean I won't torture you." Saying this Max used those two nails and pierced at her knee.
She was screaming in pain. She looked hopefully towards Klaus and Elijah, but only to see their expressionless face. Then she heard Max say, "You should know something, now the technology is so improved that we only need you alive to have the baby delivered. So if you were missing a few fingers or perhaps missing your arms and legs, we could still get the baby delivered safely. So what's it gonna be? You gonna talk or should I continue?"
When she heard this she knew that there'll be lot of trouble if she doesn't talk. So she said, "It's because of what you did. Now because of you the werewolves aren't gonna be able to take their stand anywhere. So I had to make you pay for what you did."
Max was confused hearing this, "What did I do? I don't think I have done something too all you werewolves."
Hayley looked at Max with hatred and said, "You Argents are the worst. First of was Gerard, then it was that Kate, now you. You people kept on hunting us like dogs. Especially in the recent years, you started hunting down Alphas like anything. And you even took out the Alpha Pack."
Max and others were confused hearing this, Max said, "What does this have anything to do with you?"
Hayley said, "Don't you get it? Now there are rarely any Alphas. Because of that werewolves doesn't have a proper leader. And with you killing them the next generation betas aren't gonna be able to become Alphas. As we know Alphas are suppose to pass on their power to the next generation betas. Now with you around, I know that Alphas will be extinct sooner or later. That's why you have to die."
