Queen Mary was clearly familiar with Odessa as well.
After a simple question mark, Queen Mary, unsurprisingly, asked the same question as the other vampires: "Where is Adeline?!"
In Queen Mary's memory, Adeline was a well-known socialite, and she was quite popular among the upper echelons of the vampire clan. It was rather strange that Adeline did not come to such a rare and lively opportunity.
The Queen wanted to ask more questions, but the sudden heat emanating from the spirit fire pearl that Song Mengmeng had given her, which was pressed against her chest, made her subconsciously swallow back the question that was on the tip of her tongue.
She had been wearing the Spirit Fire Bead to the banquets these past two days without any issues, but it suddenly became hot when she got close to Odessa, who was there for the first time...
“Adeline is not feeling well, so she couldn’t come today. She will be here to pay her respects to Your Majesty tomorrow at the Embrace Ceremony.”
Odessa was unaware that Queen Mary was now suspicious of him, and he maintained the proper etiquette of a nobleman, answering the queen respectfully.
Queen Mary remembered Song Mengmeng's instructions before the banquet that evening, so although she had noticed Odessa's strange behavior, she did not point it out immediately. Instead, she suppressed her shock and maintained a normal expression while talking to Odessa.
The two chatted back and forth for a while, when other nobles came to pay their respects to Queen Mary, which temporarily relieved her predicament and allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.
Odessa keenly noticed that the Queen's attitude was somewhat off.
However, after thinking about everything that had happened today and before, he realized that he hadn't done anything wrong, so he didn't dwell on it too much. He just became noticeably more wary, and he even considered not staying any longer.
Just as Odessa was about to find an excuse to leave, Song Mengmeng suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
"Now that you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?!"
Song Mengmeng sized up Odessa in front of her. To others, this well-dressed man was no different from a delicious little cake in her eyes.
The black, malevolent aura had completely enveloped him; the evil karma he had accumulated was something he could never wash away or escape!
This clearly shows just how many sins this person has committed!
Therefore, this evil spirit in front of you is edible!
To Song Mengmeng, all the puppets are now edible food; the only difference is the amount of energy they provide.
And what's in front of you is clearly a delicious dish.
The little girl's eyes sparkled. If the King of Hell hadn't told her beforehand to capture this person first, interrogate him about the puppet race, and then deal with him, she would have already taken action when Queen Mary discovered Odessa!
She had originally planned to observe her prey's behavior at the event a little longer, but unexpectedly, he was now trying to slip away!
How can this be!
Without hesitation, Song Mengmeng approached and stopped Odessa from leaving.
"you……"
Odessa's already tense nerves were now even more strained.
He certainly didn't think that Song Mengmeng would stop him for no reason at this moment!
Since she's stepped in, then it must be...
Before he could even process what had happened, the surroundings suddenly became visibly quiet. The crowd that had been clinking glasses and making merry in the luxurious hall vanished without a trace before his very eyes.
The once bustling hall was now empty except for him and the sweet-smiling, soft-haired little girl in front of him.
Barrier!
Someone silently set up a barrier without alerting him!
"I've heard that your puppet race doesn't have its own physical body. If you want to integrate into this world and survive, you can only rely on possession, stealing other people's bodies, their luck, and their life force?!"
Therefore, if done properly, you can live forever and never die!
But because you only know how to plunder endlessly, the worlds you inhabit will eventually lose their balance due to your unrestrained behavior and ultimately collapse!
The little girl stared intently at Odessa, her eyes filled with obvious confusion: "So, you've never considered that what you're doing is wrong?!"
"Little girl, what do you know?!"
Our group has its own set of rules for survival from birth!
If we want to survive and not perish, we have no choice but to follow this law!
What did we do wrong?!
We're just following our instincts to survive!
Even if we're wrong, it's the fault of the world that brought us into this world!
You want to destroy us, but all you really want is for your race to survive!
Honestly, what difference is there between what we've done?!
"Aren't you also willing to destroy my tribe for the sake of yours?!"
Odessa secretly tried to break the barrier, but to his dismay, he discovered that his power, the power he had always been so proud of, was completely ineffective against the barrier, as if it had sunk into the ocean.
His opponent's strength was clearly superior to his!
"That's right, we want to destroy you, and it is indeed for the survival of our own race!"
