A bolt of lightning struck, tearing through the thick clouds and turning the world white.

The underground building of the Vampire Manor, where the core members of the family gather.

Their faces were solemn and silent.

It was a solemn occasion, the awakening ceremony of the elders.

No one dared to whisper to each other for fear of provoking a serious punishment.

Victor is about to wake up from his slumber.

Once a great lord of the human world, he was later transformed into a high-level vampire.

He was more majestic than Marcus, domesticating werewolves into docile slaves and giving the family a brief history of glory.

Both Amelia, who is also an elder, and Marcus, who has never been very careful, maintain a respectful attitude towards Victor.

"Today is the night of the full moon, and it is also the day of the transfer of power in the family."

Dressed in a long dress, with a waist squeezing her chest, revealing a pair of evil Amelia, she symbolically made a few comments.

According to the family's rules, the three elders rotate in power every hundred years, and the other two sleep in bloody coffins.

"After that, it's Victor's time."

Amelia's tone was filled with regret.

She was much younger than the other two elders.

Sleeping in a bloody coffin, how can you enjoy the beauty of the world and experience the beauty of power, which is attractive.

Amelia bent down and flipped the switch on the ground.

Made of metal, the blood coffin with intricate patterns slowly rises.

Inside was a terrifying skeleton with shriveled skin and the shape of a corpse.

Amelia took out a knife from the tray and pulled a cut in her palm without hesitation.

This is a vampire of the House of Korvinas, and its unique skill is called "Memory of Blood".

By sucking the blood of living beings, it can be obtained into the brain, shattering the chaotic picture of consciousness.

The more high-level the vampire, the more complete the memories will be.

Amelia had to inform Victor of all the major events that had happened in the hundred years she had been in power, so that the latter could manage them.

The crimson blood flowed down the metal pipe into the vampire elder's mouth.

It then enters the body, penetrates into the dried blood vessels, and finally converges in the heart, which beats very slowly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A few minutes later, a powerful heartbeat began to sound.

"The awakening ritual was successful."

Amelia nodded in satisfaction.

In a few hours, Victor will be fully awake.

"Bring the blood bag."

At the end of each slumber, the vampire elders need to replenish a large amount of fresh blood.

In this way, his own strength can be quickly restored to his peak state.

"What about Serena?"

Amelia's gaze swept over the crowd and saw that two people were missing.

"Also, where did Klein go? If you are still absent on such an important occasion, you are not afraid of Elder Victor's anger! ”

Victor, who is a great lord himself, has always attached great importance to the hierarchy of dignity and inferiority.

"I don't know. When they returned to their rooms, they never came out again. ”

The subordinate who had been scolded by Klein before replied out loud.

He wondered if his boss had succeeded.

At this time, the beautiful flesh of the iceberg queen is being enjoyed.

Hiss!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and his eyes showed envy.

Despite the fact that Serena is an outlier in the family and likes to be alone.

But her cold temperament, the arrogance that rejects people thousands of miles away, is quite attractive.

Many vampires of the younger generation have had the idea of pursuing.

Unfortunately, it all ended in failure.

……

……

On the street near the Moulin Rouge, a black sedan stopped.

It was pouring rain outside, and it was quiet in the car.

Klein, who was mistaken for enjoying the Spring Festival, was leaning back in the back seat at this time, with an anxious and irritable look on his face.

The raindrops that smashed on the car window fell on his ears like heavy metal, which further stimulated his inner emotions.

Boom!

The doors were pulled open and then closed.

Lucian, drenched from top to bottom, sat down in his seat.

It didn't take long for a puddle to accumulate under his feet.

"Didn't I say it, don't contact me lately! Today is the day Victor wakes up! I suddenly disappeared at this time, and it will be difficult to explain it later! ”

Klein saw that Lucien, who had taken the initiative to meet him, finally came, and his anger was vented.

Considering the special period, he didn't want to go to the appointment, but the wolf king's attitude was very resolute, so he had no choice but to come.

"I have important news."

Lucien lowered his head, and there was a hint of coldness in his calm eyes.

"The human world has also learned of the existence of the Alexandria-Kovinas bloodline, and they have noticed werewolves and vampires."

"It's a bad sign. Time is running out for us, Klein. ”

"The 'Deathwalkers' who hunt werewolves are the personal guards formed by Victor, and they have been encircling us all these years."

"That old guy hates werewolves as much as I hate ...... He felt the same! ”

"The two of us, one of us must die to end the war."

Feeling the murderous intent in Lucian's tone, Crane couldn't help but shrink his neck.

He didn't want to get involved in any battle, so hiding behind and using his mind to manipulate everything was the most appropriate choice.

"Who leaked the news?"

Klein asked.

"I don't know. Maybe it's Thales, the recorder of your family's history, who was almost exiled by Victor. ”

Lucian restrained his obvious emotions and said casually: "If you hold a grudge because of this, it is also a very reasonable behavior to take refuge in humans. ”

Klein thumped his seat hard, and the black sedan parked on the side of the street shook, as if some kind of vigorous exercise was going on inside, creating a reverie.

"So what now?"

Thinking of the fate of betraying the family, Klein's heart was filled with fear.

He is indeed a power-hungry careerist, always wanting to rise to the top and become an elder in power.

But as Serena thought, he was also a coward.

Klein never had the idea of confronting Victor and the family head-on.

The inferior class is engraved in the body of a vampire and can never be erased.

He wants to become the elder of the family and take Victor's place.

But at the same time, he felt extremely afraid of the family elders and Victor.

"While that old guy Victor has just woken up, let's attack!"

Lucian's eyes flashed, and he said seriously: "You open the gate of the manor, dismiss some of the guards, especially the 'Deathwalkers', and find an excuse to send them out." ”

"Then I led the elite troops of my clan to break into the base camp in one fell swoop, killing Victor, Amelia, and the sleeping Marcus."

"In this way, you will become the only elder of the family, and no one will be able to dictate to you and give orders."

Crane's throat rolled a few times, as if moved by the wolf king sitting next to him, his eyes full of longing.

It's just that this beautiful vision didn't last long, and my heart was soon filled with fear.

"No! I'm going to take a big risk! ”

Crane shook his head.

The cooperation he had negotiated with Lucian was for the wolf king to find Alexandre-Kovinas's third bloodline, thus becoming a half-blood.

After his strength skyrocketed, he personally killed the three elders of the family and supported himself to the throne.

Since then, vampires and werewolves have signed a peace covenant.

Whether Lucian succeeds or not, nothing has anything to do with Klein.

He hid behind him to keep himself safe.

"You still think you can stay out of it? Don't be stupid, Crane. ”

Lucien sneered, ruthlessly puncturing the other's illusions.

"Who is secretly financing the werewolves to help us break into the police system and control a part of the human world?"

"And who gave us weapons to seize the territory of the Parisian neighborhoods?"

"Why do we know in advance every time the 'Deathwalker' moves?"

"These suspicious places, as long as Victor uses a little force to investigate, he can find out."

"You're already on this ship of mine, and now you want to go down, will it be too late?"

Crane's face turned pale, and his fists clenched.

He sensed the banter in Lucian's words, and understood that he had been put in a position by the wolf king.

"You threaten me?"

Crane was furious and wanted to question, but he was elbowed to his chest and slammed into the seat.

"Watch your tone, without my help, you can get Victor's attention?"

Lucien scolded unceremoniously.

"Don't forget, I sacrificed twenty of you to get you to that seat...... Kindred, let you get a big credit. ”

The car was quiet.

The air seemed to freeze.

"Our strength alone is not enough to make it to the manor."

There was a moment of silence, and Klein seemed intent on giving up the struggle.

"Don't say 'Deathwalker'. Amelia alone, and the awakened Victor, these two elder-level vampires, are not something you can solve. ”

"And what about another helper?"

Lucien seemed to have expected it.

"Serena, the best warrior of the vampire family, the 'Deathwalker' who hunts the most werewolves. With her help, our odds are much better. ”

Klein's brows furrowed, and he subconsciously retorted, "How is it possible! Serena is closest to Victor...... You mean, tell her the truth? ”

Halfway through speaking, the vampire reacted.

"That's right, it's a good thing to let that poor girl know the truth."

Lucien nodded.

Serena's parents were once craftsmen under Victor, who were responsible for building the prison where William, the werewolf ancestor, was held.

In order to ensure that the location was not revealed, the vampire High Lord killed almost everyone who knew about it.

Serena's parents were among them.

She was able to escape because she looked like Victor's daughter.

This evokes the only trace of warmth in the heart of the ruthless vampire lord.

"Serena never trusts anyone easily. Unless I can come up with strong evidence to prove everything I say. ”

Klein's hands clenched together unconsciously.

"You do have proof of that."

Lucien glanced at the other's neck and smiled deeply.

"What do you mean?"

Klein sensed something was wrong.

A dangerous aura emanated.

He tried to pull the car door open, but Lucien dragged him back and slammed him against his seat.

The muscular, thick arms, with clumps of pitch-black hair, held the struggling Crane in place.

"The mouth can speak, but the memory cannot."

Lucien said apologetically.

"You're actually going to be a good puppet, but unfortunately things happened too quickly, and I don't have that much time to gather strength and wait for the day of revenge."

"I met someone who was stronger and more helpful."

"Originally, in my opinion, humans and vampires were not trustworthy."

"But the conditions he gave were too generous, and I really couldn't refuse."

Click!

Lucien exerted a force in his arm and wrenched Klein's neck.

The power-hungry Erwuzai's eyes widened, and his pupils lost their brilliance.

Small space, close range that is difficult to dodge.

In such a combat environment, it is not difficult for werewolves to deal with a vampire.

Wiping his hands, Lucien opened the car door.

Dragging the limp corpse, he walked towards a car on the corner.

Torrential rain washed, lightning flashed and thundered.

The driver of the sedan was the first to come down, apparently an officer.

He opened his umbrella to block the water droplets coming from outside.

Then, the windows were slowly lowered.

Inside sat Luke, and a blank Serena.

"I told the truth, and now it's your turn to verify it yourself."

Luke opened the car door and smiled at Serena, "Serve it hot, it's cold...... It's not good to drink. ”
