Linghu Lan swiftly raised her knife and stabbed the priest. The priest's gaze involuntarily drifted towards a room on the second floor. It was an unconscious action he took before his death; he hadn't even been aware of it.
Linghu Lan stopped when the tip of the knife touched his skin, and said with a soft laugh, "Thanks!"
The priest was still somewhat confused. He had prepared himself for death, but he never expected to survive.
He watched Linghu Lan's retreating figure as she headed straight for a room on the second floor, and suddenly he understood why Linghu Lan had thanked him! It turned out that his gaze had unconsciously given Linghu Lan the answer.
Thinking of this, he felt a sudden panic, but even more so, disappointment. Lyle had not appeared at his moment of life and death.
Linghu Lan opened Lyle's room, which was empty and deserted. However, the broken windows confirmed their suspicions: Lyle was indeed living there.
Linghu Lan followed the trail and chased after him. It was unrealistic to compete with vampires in speed, but half an hour later, Linghu Lan caught up with Lyle.
At this moment, Lyle looked like a man consumed by wine and women, staring resentfully at Linghu Lan: "What did I do to offend you? Why are you chasing after me so relentlessly?"
This was the most perplexing thing for Lyle. Ever since he arrived at the cathedral, he had been thinking about what had happened during this time. He was horrified to discover that he seemed to have been led into a trap by Linghu Lan step by step. What was even more frustrating was that he had no idea when he had offended Linghu Lan.
Linghu Lan smiled and said, "If you live, you've offended me."
Lyle looked depressed and had mixed feelings. It was clear that he didn't intend to tell him the answer. However, he hadn't spent his time in Westminster Cathedral for nothing. He had collected a lot of holy water and holy artifacts.
A major battle is inevitable.
Chizuru and Lyle got into a fierce fight, only to discover that Lyle's fighting power had increased again in just a few days. If given enough time, who knows how far he would grow.
Linghu Lan also praised him repeatedly, saying that he was indeed the strongest fighter among the four male protagonists, and his growth ability was extremely powerful.
Just before Lyle took out the Rose Chalice, the largest sacred artifact in Westminster Cathedral, Chigami seemed to have seen enough of Lyle's abilities and punched Lyle in the heart.
Lyle coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew backward, his face rapidly fading, like a flickering candle in the cold wind, gradually losing its vitality.
He looked at Linghu Lan with resentment, while Linghu Lan looked down at him, her eyes devoid of joy or sorrow. "You owed me a debt in your past life, and I'm here to collect it in this one. Now, our debts are settled."
The light in Lyle's eyes gradually faded. Regardless of whether Linghu Lan's words were true or false, it was at least an answer. Compared to Lin Susu, he seemed to be much luckier.
When Prince Lewis arrived, he found Lyle's corpse. He tried to convince himself that Linghu Lan was avenging her son, but his intuition told him that wasn't the case at all. The truth was likely more complicated than he imagined.
He stared coldly at Linghu Lan, "You killed him?"
Linghu Lan remained unmoved and calmly said, "I'm avenging Zi Mo. After all, he's my fiancé, isn't he?"
