Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Crisis of Confidence
"Yes, I broke the fangs of both of their vampires. "Seeing those two people looking at me stupidly, I repeated it.www.biquge.info
And just like that, they continued to stare at me for a moment, and eventually, it was Caesar who spoke first, "Lyle, are you talking about the fangs that are unique to vampires?" β
"Yes," I nodded, repeating, "the kind of tooth that glows under the moon that they suddenly made when they were about to put it down my throat." β
"Lyle, you know what? Like those vampires, I mean, the few vampires under the Sith, none of them are ordinary vampires, and if it is said that it is not easy to break their vampire fangs, in fact," said Caesar, looking at Joseph, "Actually, even a vampire like Joseph, who has more than 1,200 years of power, may not be able to break their fangs so easily, so, Lyle, what you just saidγγγγγγγ β
"Father, don't you believe me?" I felt a little aggrieved when I saw Caesar suspicious of me, because, for some reason, I always had an indescribable respect for Caesar, and it was this respect that made me always hope that he would approve of me.
"Lyle, it's not that we don't want to believe you, it's that the truth makes it hard to face, Lyle, you say, if you are in front of Joseph, can you defeat him?" Caesar asked.
"I can't." I shook my head.
"In that case, can you get Joseph's fangs out? No, I don't mean that, I mean, what can you try to do, show us so that we can feel your power? Caesar said very gently.
Hearing Caesar's words, I hesitated, was there anything I could do to prove my strength?
Actually, now, I know that I can't do anything. Even at that time, when those vampires wanted to drain my blood, when I consciously wanted to do something to protect myself, I often couldn't do anything, and those so-called earth-shattering things were done by me unconsciously.
Seeing that I was hesitating, full of overwhelmed looks, Caesar looked at me with a strange look in his eyes.
After a while, Caesar saw that I couldn't make any movement, so he said, "Lyle, you can explain this matter to me later." After saying that, he turned to Joseph, "Joseph, you take Lyle back to the hotel, I'll go first." β
With that, Caesar vanished.
After Caesar was gone, Joseph looked at me quietly, "Lyle, what just happened?" Normally, Caesar is not a person who gets angry easily, however, the last thing he wants is to see someone cheat on him, and if you cheat on him once, he will never trust you again. β
Seeing Joseph say this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat in my heart, "Joseph, I really didn't lie to you, really, the situation just now was really like this." "I pleaded with Joseph in a hurry.
Joseph looked at me with some sharp gaze in his eyes, and then, he reached out and patted me on the shoulder, and then sighed, "Lyle, perhaps, you still have too little time to get rid of humans, perhaps, originally a vampire is also a low-level animal, and it really takes time to cultivate to a realm like Kaisaγγγγγγ With that, he slapped my hand on the shoulder again, "Lyle, maybe you need to spend some time to get rid of some shortcomings, good quality doesn't come in a day or two." "Joseph looked at me, but, this time, in his gaze, I saw a disappointment." Alright, let's go back. β
At this point, Joseph turned away, and instead of disappearing as Caesar did, he walked on his own. Obviously, he was waiting for me.
I watched Joseph walk with a listless step, and I felt very uncomfortable.
I know that now, neither Caesar nor Joseph believed what I had just said, and that they had lost the trust they had in me that had relied on my instincts. When I realized this, I couldn't help but feel a little heartache.
Seeing that Joseph was getting farther and farther away, I finally reminded myself to hurry up and follow.
Along the way, Joseph looked a little dull, and from the street to the third floor of the hotel, Joseph did not say a word. Throughout, though, he used human habits instead of the vampire's unique abilities.
He climbed the stairs step by step, and then, standing at the door, knocked on the door stiffly, and waited until Paul opened the door inside, and then he walked slowly into the room.
When I followed Joseph into the room, I saw that Paul had fully recovered, at least, his injuries were not visible from the outside.
When Paul saw me, he was still smiling as he had been, but he soon sensed something strange about Joseph's expression.
"Joseph, what's wrong with you?" Paul asked Joseph a little strangely.
"It's nothing, it's just that now I feel more and more that human beings are something that people can't trust, and my faith has been impacted." Joseph said lightly, and as he spoke, Joseph went to his bed, and this time he put the Bible still on his pillow into his clothes, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep without saying a word.
I was saddened to hear Joseph's words, and it was very sad that the inability to explain the incident affected Caesar's perception of me.
"Lyle, what's wrong with you? Why does everyone look so listless, are they hurt, those vampires under the Sith, did they hurt you? Lyle? Paul asked, uneasy.
"Nope." Now, I said, I don't want to talk about the vampires I was going to beat them away, because it was hard for me to accept that I was faced with such doubts after saying them.
Paul looked at me suspiciously, then at Joseph, who was now silent and asleep, hesitated, and said, "What happened to Joseph?" β
Seeing Paul asking about Joseph, I didn't want to continue talking to him about it, so I asked, "Paul, are you better?" "I think of the Paul I saw when I followed Caesar down the street, and he was badly wounded and covered in blood."
"Well, it's much better now." Paul replied, "It's thanks to everyone working together to help Catherine and me heal, so we're all right, but they're using too much energyγγγγγγ Paul said worriedly.
"Oh." Hearing his words, it occurred to me that when I took that injured man to the hospital, these people must have been doing their best to treat Paul and Catherine, so now, before my eyes, Paul would be recovering as well as he is now.
