Chapter 760: Chapter 760: The Crownless King of the Land_1 Chapter 760: Chapter 760: The Crownless King of the Land_1 Unfortunately, no matter how stellar his acting was, Yen’an didn’t want to deal with him. She strode toward Lord Ye in cat-like steps, showing no sympathy for Bai Xiao’s sorry state after his fall. That bastard had deceived her! She refused to compromise on such a matter of principle.
Lord Ye didn’t mess around, speaking directly. “Miss Yen’an, I just want to know where the vampire stronghold is located. Just tell me the address. I don’t need your help with anything else.”
“Wait, what? Are you going to kill the heir of the vampires? Excuse me, Lord Ye, but while your aspirations are grand, reality might not cooperate… Still, I admire your courage, so I’ll tell you where the vampire’s stronghold is.”
Having finished speakiing, the beautiful and charming Yen’an pivoted and roared at Bai Xiao, “You big lug! You are to guide Lord Ye to the stronghold of the vampires!”
Bai Xiao calmly got up from the ground, helpless against the whims of this enchanting lady. She really was a force of nature!
However, when dealing with Lord Ye, Bai Xiao adopted a different, indifferent attitude. Speaking bluntly, he said: “Lord Ye, you’re thinking too much. The vampires never had a stronghold. They have been living among you earthlings for a long time, blending into ordinary families. There’s no stronghold; instead, you can find a few vampires in every city on Earth. Ordinary people just don’t know they’re vampires. Moreover, as far as I know, the vampires living among normal people mostly have high statuses, and many of them even control a lot of dark forces.”
Lord Ye stayed silent. Although he didn’t know much about vampires, the old man had told him a thing or two: if he decided to become the heir, then he would be the uncrowned king all over the land.
Furthermore, not only within his country and region, but all the vampires around the world would have to submit to him!
“There are many vampires in our country?” Even for the worldly Xia Ye Zhao, this notion sent shivers down his spine.
There’s always been something eerie and terrifying about vampires, much like zombies; they incite fear. Imagining having vampires around you – people who could be your friends, brothers, bosses, subordinates, or even the cashier at the convenience store – without even knowing it, made one feel uneasy.
But Bai Xiao seemed unconcerned. “What’s the big deal? Vampires have always tried to tempt humans on the brink of death to become new vampires, as a way of expanding their ranks. Everyone has the will to live. In a situation where there is no hope of cure, if someone told you that you could survive by becoming a vampire, would you hesitate to try?”
That question hit Xia Ye Zhao hard, leaving him speechless.
So, Xia Ye Zhao turned to look at Lord Ye. Was he also someone who, on the verge of death, was unable to resist the temptation and contracted the vampiric disease?
While he kept claiming that he only suffered from a disease that made him crave blood, and not that he was a vampire, had he actually become a vampire along the way?
Although Xia Ye Zhao initially thought that having vampires in Country A was terrifying, upon reflection he didn’t find it so dreadful. They were just a group of people on the brink of death, trying to survive. This tragic circumstance elicited a wave of sympathy within him.
Bai Xiao continued to enlighten them about the history of the vampire clan.
