Chapter 610 - 411 Race Change Item_2
He held a crystal-clear glass of exquisite wine in his hand, the glass shimmering with a tempting luster under the faint luminescence as he gently swirled it, admiring the elegant spin of the liquid within.
Then, he took a sip of wine, closed his eyes, and seemed to revel in the delightful sensation it brought.
A moment later, the man spoke softly,
"Molin, I asked you to capture Augustus, and you're the only one who returned?"
"Did Valentine even die?"
"I'm curious, who exactly did you encounter?"
As his gaze fixed, a seductively figured beauty kneeled before him, trembling as she said:
"Lord Andrei, it's not that I am incompetent, but too many unexpected things happened!"
The pressure and fear emanating from the high-level vampires in front of her seemed to make Molin's voice much sharper.
"I'm giving you this chance to speak."
The golden-level vampire Andrei drank the last of his wine calmly while looking at Molin in front of him.
But beneath his calm voice, an unmistakable anger lay hidden.
No wonder he was furious; if Valentine's unexpected death was unsettling, the disappearance of Augustus truly fueled his rage.
Oh mighty Kanchelisis, god of vampires, he had put so much effort into Augustus, finding an opportunity to circumvent the Kate Family's defenses and convert Augustus into a member of his bloodline clan.
It is known that there are gold-level professionals in the Kate Family, and their protection of family members is sufficient.
If it were merely an attack on a member of the Kate Family, it wouldn't be too troublesome for Andrei, but keeping it unnoticed by the Kate Family was extremely difficult.
If it hadn't been for Andrei paying a huge price to contaminant Augustus's protective charms with his own blood, he couldn't have succeeded.
Paying such a price wasn't just to add a clan member—Andrei intended to use Augustus to gain control over the Kate Family.
Similarly, Andrei used his most precious blood in the transformation, considering this aspect to directly promote Augustus past the lowest blood slave stage by employing the concealment abilities owned by vampires; it was entirely possible to deceive the Kate Family.
All Andrei needed was for Augustus's power to advance further later on, then there would be fewer flaws exposed.
However, despite Andrei having paid a huge price for Augustus's Initial Embrace, such an unforeseen event occurring afterward was intolerable.
If it weren't for Molin being his most beloved subordinate, always quite loyal,
and him wanting to know exactly what happened, he would have drained the blood from Molin's body much earlier.
After a while, upon hearing Molin's story, Andrei was no longer focused on blaming or punishing; his right hand unconsciously swirled the tall glass as he muttered:
"[Blood Queen] Angela?"
"A black-robed person appearing suddenly?"
Andrei felt uneasy; under such circumstances, Molin, even if trying to shirk responsibility, would not dare to fabricate a lie.
If what she said was true, then the so-called [Blood Queen] Angela, capable of granting Augustus the power to counter both Valentine and Molin, was undoubtedly a gold-level vampire,
and might even be stronger than himself!
Although Andrei never mentioned it, he knew very well that he couldn't achieve such a feat.
As a vampire who had lived for many years in the Bolin Kingdom and ascended to gold level amidst this chaotic region, his greatest reliance was being cautious and careful.
He knew that even with gold-level strength, he still wasn't much in this world.
Not to mention the top forces like the Church of the Gods and the Elf Kingdom, even within the Bolin Kingdom itself, many powerful individuals could kill him.
The gap between those at the gold level was much greater than ordinary people could imagine!
He could only survive by being cautious and careful.
For many years, the only time he took direct action was aimed at Augustus; if his plan had succeeded, then the entire domain of Marquis Kate would have been his playground, without a need to worry about others.
Even if it failed, the most he could do was flee.
While he might not be a match for the Territory Guards and other powerhouses, as a gold-level vampire, surviving was not a problem.
But, the current situation had greatly exceeded his expectations.
What was this suddenly emerging Blood Queen? Why had he never heard of her?
A gold-level vampire from another place?
What was her purpose in acting against Augustus?
To demonstrate power?
Many thoughts flashed through Andrei's mind in an instant, leaving him momentarily without a plan.
Right, there was also that black-robed person.
Being able to kill Valentine with one strike, it was highly probable that he was also a gold-level being.
Was he associated with the Blood Queen?
Crack!
Andrei crushed the wine glass in his hand, watching as the beautifully crafted and expensive glass shattered into pieces in his grasp, blood droplets appearing in his hand without him feeling anything.
"Lord Andrei?"
Molin, kneeling on the ground, looked at Andrei's unusual behavior with some unease.
Andrei ignored Molin, still pondering deeply.
From the opponents' actions, it seemed they were targeting him.
Against two gold-level professionals, he definitely was not a match.
Should he leave this place?
Or should he seek assistance?
