"May I ask who you are...?" Lester was, after all, an earl, and compared to the vampires below him, he had seen more of the world.

"I am... this body is still not quite right..." The little girl fainted before she could finish speaking.

Lester froze on the spot, then tried to go forward to check. Suddenly, the doors to the venue burst open, and countless bats and vampires swarmed in.

When the vampires arrived, they snatched the little girl away, and Lester screamed in anger.

"Edward, what do you mean? Are you going to start a war?" Lester was furious when he saw who it was. Did these people think his Blackwood Manor was an amusement park?

"I don't have time for you, Lester. See you another day." Edward personally carried the little girl away, and the vampires also retreated swiftly like a gust of wind.

"What are you all standing there for? Chase them!" Lester glared at his men, who were frozen in place. "Look at the Edward family, and look at yourselves! How did you defend yourselves? You let them march right in!"

Lester roared in exasperation, "Quickly capture the Demon Orb and bring it back!" After shouting, Lester took the lead and chased after it. The vampires followed behind him.

Once Lester left, the venue was empty. The female vampire who had been drooling over Lester just a moment ago was nowhere to be seen. It seemed they had all left with Lester.

"That little girl is Mei Bao? How did she become like this?" Leng Yue and the others also chased after her, but they could only fly on their swords.

“It shouldn’t be Mei Bao anymore. What Dracula said before might not be comprehensive. Perhaps the Demon Orb doesn’t have its own consciousness, but rather contains Cain’s consciousness.” Qian Chen recalled Mei Bao’s reaction just now, and the name she was about to say at the end. It seemed to be Cain no matter how you looked at it.

“Cain took the opportunity to hide his consciousness in the Demon-Slaying Pearl back then, and has appeared once every hundred years to seize energy?” Leng Yue thought this was possible. “But why hasn’t anyone known that Cain is inside the Demon-Slaying Pearl all these years?”

“Perhaps he has been hiding it very well, or perhaps the energy he had before was not enough to awaken him…” Qianchen shook his head. After all, he was not Cain, and he could only guess.

"I have a feeling that Edward knows something." Edward's transformation from the president of the Blood Hunter Headquarters to a vampire was clearly the result of a long-term plan. Therefore, Leng Yue felt that even if others didn't know, Edward definitely knew something.

"Let's go back to the Blood Hunter headquarters and take a look." Qian Chen wasn't worried about it; he made a reasonable guess and boldly sought confirmation.

Because they arrived later than Edward and Lester, they weren't following the vampires. Fortunately, they knew Edward's lair, so they flew straight to the former Blood Hunter headquarters on their swords.

The original Blood Hunter headquarters was quiet; everything was eerily quiet.

"They haven't come back?" Leng Yue and Qian Chen stopped in mid-air, looking around with binoculars. But after observing for a while, they didn't see any fighting or hear any noise.

Qianchen and Lengyue landed directly inside the manor. Once inside, they discovered a dark figure seemingly hiding on the fourth floor.

They exchanged a glance and then surrounded the fourth floor from both sides. Before they could act, the other party spoke. "Who are you?"

Leng Yue was startled. Another mental-type? How could it still see her even when she was invisible?

“Andrew?” Qianchen spoke calmly. “I am Qianchen.”

"Qian? What brings you here? Did Lily come?" It really was Andrew. As soon as he heard it was Qian Chen, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Andrew lit a candle that hadn't been used in a long time, and looked at the empty room. "Qian, where are you?"

After hearing Andrew's words, Leng Yue and Qian Chen revealed themselves. "Where are the other vampires here?" Leng Yue asked.

"They've all gone out. They thought I wasn't strong enough, so they made me stay at the manor." Andrew was clearly happy to see Leng Yue and Qian Chen, his eyes filled with hope. "Where's Lily?"

Leng Yue noticed that Andrew kept looking behind her; he was looking for Lily. However, he could only be disappointed. "She didn't come. She and Julia are waiting for news at the hotel."

"It's better that she didn't come; it's too dangerous here now." Andrew quickly changed his tune after his initial disappointment. "She's so weak; it wouldn't be safe for her if she came."

"Actually, she's with Julia. If you miss her, you can go see her." Leng Yue didn't know what to say, so she could only say that they would be separated by the divide between the living and the dead from now on.

Sure enough, Andrew shook his head and gave a wry smile. "It's better not to. In my current state, it's not good for me to keep going to see her."

"By the way, what are you here for?" Andrew changed the subject.

“Edward stole the Demon Pearl, and Mei Bao is the Demon Pearl, so we need to find a way to save Mei Bao.” Qian Chen looked at Andrew, “Do you know where they might go?”

"Maibao is the Demon Pearl? So, Julia's brief vampire transformation was because of the Demon Pearl?" Andrew knew about the Demon Pearl because Diana had told him some things when she still liked him.

“Now it seems that’s true.” Qianchen knew that Andrew already knew about the Demon Pearl when he heard Andrew’s question.

“Actually, I’m not sure either.” Andrew hesitated. “I think I heard Diana say that when the blood moon appears, the whole world will submit to Edward.”

"What do you mean? Blood moon, is it a red moon?" Leng Yue glanced at the moon outside the window; it was bright and clear, and hadn't changed color.

Actually, Leng Yue was somewhat skeptical of the blood moon theory. Many novels like to make prophecies like "when the blood moon appears, the world will be in chaos." However, having completed so many missions, she had never witnessed a blood moon even once, so she still didn't really believe it.

Especially now, the moon is so bright, it looks like a time of peace and prosperity, right? But what's the reality? The vampires are causing panic, it's practically a time of darkness.

"Yueyue, let Andrew finish speaking." Qianchen knew that Leng Yue might be thinking something, but now was not the time to argue!

"Okay, okay, you guys continue." Leng Yue pouted and went to sit by the fireplace.

“Besides Edward, there are ten elders in this manor. It’s said that they are very powerful. They usually take turns guarding the manor every hundred years. But recently, they’ve all woken up. They say they’re about to hold some kind of sacrificial ceremony.” Andrew frowned. “Of course, I’ve only heard this from others. After all, I’m not capable enough, and I’m not qualified. I haven’t even met one of the elders yet!”

Before becoming a vampire, Andrew thought all vampires were powerful. Even the worst vampire would be much stronger than an ordinary blood hunter.

However, when he actually became a vampire, Andrew realized that the vampire hierarchy was extremely strict. Vampires with lower abilities had no human rights whatsoever; other vampires could not only bully them at will, but even kill them at will.

Someone of Andrew's caliber has no right to know anything about the inner workings of the vampire world. Most of the time, Andrew finds out things by eavesdropping.
