Chapter 3207 Breaking Through The Situation
In the vampire-occupied territory where the vampire headquarters was.
In a grand and magnificent hall, a ball was being held with a pianist playing soothing and melodic music.
Many elegantly dressed and graceful vampire nobles stood together in groups, holding glasses of wine and chatting.
However, their faces were all solemn and grave, lacking the usual carefree and joyful expressions.
They were discussing the sacrifice of Lux, the chief vampire prince, who had recently died.
Among the crowd, there were also many beautiful mortal girls dressed in maid uniforms, carefully moving around with trays in their hands.
These girls had become slaves of the vampires after their homeland was occupied.
Being a vampire slave usually resulted in one of three outcomes-one, becoming a bondslave and the lowest class of vampire as well as cannon fodder; two, being corralled as a food source for the vampires and could at any time have their blood taken; or three, being selected for their beauty as a maid for the vampire nobles like these beautiful girls serving at the ball.
However, their fate was still as fragile as floating debris in the water. One wrong move or a sudden whim from a vampire noble could put their lives in danger. Upstairs in the hall, there was a conference room where twelve vampire princes, including Max, sat at a long table.
Two seats remained empty, which were supposed to belong to Lux and Vivien. The other princes were all deep in thought, with their faces solemn.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Knock, knock, knock...
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the sound of footsteps could be heard.
The princes raised their heads and saw the vampire patriarch, Herod, entering the room with his maid Lyanna. He was dressed in a well-tailored vintage suit. The twelve princes quickly stood up and greeted him, collectively saying, "Greetings, Patriarch Herod." Herod did not speak but sat down in the main seat after Lyanna pulled out the chair for him.
After slowly sitting down and taking a moment to survey the room filled with the twelve princes, Herod finally spoke calmly. "Please be seated, and let us talk."
"Yes."
The twelve princes then sat down, and Max slowly spoke up. "I believe everyone already knows about Lux's death?"
Everyone nodded.
Gregg, the vampire prince who was closest to Lux among all the princes, stood up angrily. "Patriarch Herod, from what I understand, Lux's death has something to do with Max..."
As soon as Gregg accused Max of his wrongdoing, Max's expression slightly changed.
He didn't expect that his trick to escape and leave Lux behind had been exposed to the others.
Now, he felt a bit uneasy when Gregg reported his misconduct.
However, to his surprise, Herod raised his hand and interrupted Gregg's complaint.
Herod calmly said, "I am aware of the
situation at the time. Risking his life,
Max led the vampire troops to
infiltrate the human alliance
om
headquarters and assassinate
Nathan. He showed great courage. In the end, he abandoned his comrade
and fled alone, which led to Lux getting killed, so he showed a moral deficiency in that regard." The
Gregg couldn't help but say, "But he tricked Lux and left him behind, which caused Lux's death."
Herod's gaze turned cold. "Nathan caused Lux's death. You should be clear about who our real enemy is."
Herod was obviously unhappy.
He was reminding Gregg and the others not to keep accusing Max when the real enemy was the human alliance and Nathan.
Gregg realized this and quickly lowered his head, whispering, "Yes, Patriarch Herod."
Herod's tone relaxed a bit as he
continued, "Max left Lux behind, but wasn't Lux also intentionally letting Max take the lead so that he could
reap the benefits later? Let's consider them even."
He continued, "This time, Max escaped, and Lux sacrificed himself. It is unfortunate for our entire m vampire clan, Let's not fight among ourselves anymore. We are already surrounded by the human alliance and can't expand our territory anymore. Let's think of a way to break through the current situation."
