"Oh, my dear Viscount Mike, you've finally arrived! You know, this is prime time here at night, every minute and every second is money flowing away. If you weren't my best friend, I would never allow myself to waste such a huge sum of money!" Following Mike into a gladiator arena in the city, they arrived at the slave owner's office area. Pushing open the door, they were greeted by a handsome man in a black tailcoat.
"Mr. Burns, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Mike greeted him with a slight bow and a light laugh.
The newcomer was not only a slave owner, but also the owner of this arena, and moreover, he was a nobleman with the title of count.
Of course, this count status did not originate from the bestowal of the Aini Empire, but from the recipient's own race, although it was only a small race.
"Humans? No? Vampires?" Ye Zhen asked, looking at the newcomer with interest.
Upon hearing this, Burns was stunned. He looked at the group with amazement. He swore he had never seen so many beautiful women in his life. This made his teeth itch. He was even certain that he could smell the fragrance of virgins. Their blood would surely fascinate him.
“Oh! My dear friend, I think you should introduce these beautiful ladies beside you to me. They are so beautiful and charming!” Burns exclaimed, extending his right hand as if to perform the highest honor of kissing hands, but the women rejected his offer.
"Thank you for your praise, but you'd better clear your mind of those filthy thoughts, otherwise I have a thousand ways to test whether vampires are really immortal." Ye Zhen had a warm smile on her face, but spoke words as cold as the dead of winter.
Ignoring the other party's astonishment, Ye Zhen sat down on the sofa and curiously touched the leather material. She had never seen such a thing in Ye Chen's territory before.
While staying in the trial space, Ye Chen didn't have time to deal with these ordinary items. Anyway, they would be easy to buy outside and the prices would be cheap.
"Viscount Mike, what's this?" Not only Ye Zhen, but everyone else also casually found a place to sit down. This scene stunned Burns, who looked at Mike with a puzzled expression.
At this moment, young Mike was also very nervous. He knew the strength of these people well and was afraid that they might kill someone if they were unhappy. Finding a new slave owner would be a minor matter, but if they took their anger out on him, it would be a huge loss.
As for his best friend, Lord Burns? What is that? What friends do nobles have? Aren't they all just about interests? In a pinch, aren't these kinds of friends just for betraying others?
"Sit down first, let me tell you something!" Mike pulled Burns to sit down and then explained the day's events in detail. Sure enough, Burns looked like he'd seen a ghost, clearly not believing it at all.
“Dear Mike! It seems we won’t be able to do this deal today, which is a great pity. I have a few more fights to arrange. Would you like to stay here for a while or go back?” Burns said regretfully, which was clearly an invitation to leave.
"Bang!" The moment the words left his mouth, the coffee table in front of him shattered. The loud noise and the shards of glass made him tremble. Immediately afterward, a sense of death rushed towards him. The vampire, who had lived for countless years, actually felt the threat of death in that instant.
"Such a long chatter is a complete waste of time. It would be faster to just arrest him and threaten him!" Taishan said in a muffled voice. He had been sitting for so long without even a cup of tea and was already impatient. In the end, he was being told to leave? This was too much for an uncle to bear, and he immediately lost his temper.
"You wouldn't happen to be like this at the blacksmith shop, would you?" Ye Zhen said helplessly. She hadn't even started speaking yet, and Taishan had already threatened her.
"What are you afraid of?" Taishan said nonchalantly, then looked fiercely at Burns. "Little vampire, do you want to live or die? If you want to die, I can crush you right now! If you want to live, you'll do whatever we say!"
Under the oppressive aura of Mount Tai, Burns' already pale face became even more bloodless. Burns, who already possessed the strength of the third rank, felt that he had no power to resist in front of his opponent, and even his racial characteristic of being virtually immortal was of no use.
Mount Tai is the reincarnation of the God of Thunder. Besides silverware and holy light, what could be more frightening to vampires than thunder? To add one more thing, he could even blast his opponent into nothingness.
"Me! Me!" Burns stammered, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Ye Zhen patted Taishan on the shoulder and said, "Tone it down. You've scared him so much he can't speak. How are you expecting him to answer you?"
Upon hearing this, Taishan snorted coldly and silently withdrew his aura. Ye Zhen then walked up to the other party and looked at Burns with a smile.
"Little vampire, don't rush, answer properly, and I won't do anything to you! I'm just a little curious. I've heard that vampires like to sleep in coffins. I wonder if you would like a silver coffin if I gave you one?"
"!!!"
Upon hearing Ye Zhen's words, Burns felt his non-existent hairs stand on end, and a chill ran down his spine. Sending a vampire a silver coffin? Is this something a human would do?
"No! No! No need! I! I still prefer the mahogany coffin!" Burns answered tremblingly, feeling completely numb. "What do you want to do? Just tell me, and Burns will be your best friend!"
As a slave owner, Burns knew exactly what to say and when to say it. Regardless of whether the forces behind him could eliminate the other party, that was a matter for later. Judging from the aura emanating from the group, if he didn't know what was good for him today, he might not even have a future!
As for the little vampire they mentioned? Circumstances dictate things; a little is better than nothing!
Of course, Ye Zhen wasn't lying to him. They were recruited directly from the clan's lair and didn't need to grow up slowly like ordinary people. They were born as adults and then improved their strength through advancement. This was the biggest difference between the lair's clan and their offspring. Right now, there were still quite a few underage goblins in Fatty's territory, crying for food!
Therefore, even though Burns has lived for many years, if we really count his age, he is not necessarily older than Ye Zhen and others. Moreover, in terms of strength, he is just a little brother!
