Vampire's Slice of Life

The Neutral Continent.

Lenz Tower, Espat.

At the top most floor of the Lenz Tower, four people were sitting around a round table, all wearing exquisite robes of their own culture.

One was a lady wearing a black pointy hat and a strapless purple gown. The upper half of the gown was tight fitting and it appeared as if her big breasts would pop out of the gown at any moment's notice. 

The man next to her wore a black cardigan and had shoulder length dark blue hair. He had a very lean fit and was also tall.

The person next to the dark blue haired man was a lean and handsome blonde-haired man wearing blue and white robes. He had a dignified look on his face, but the most notable feature was his hair tied into a messy rough man bun.

The last person, sitting beside the blonde-haired man, was a man that appeared to be in his later 40s and was in deep blue daoist robes. 

They were none other than the four Supreme Ranks of four main races. 

The one with a pointy hat was The Witch Queen Mother Florencia Rain, the one with dark blue hair was The Werewolf King Anderson Fenrir, next to him was The Heavenly Emperor Alex Paladin, and the last one in daoist robes was none other than The Human Ancestor Darren Whitter.

Florencia, Anderson, and Alex were currently staring at Darren with a neutral expression on their face and were wondering what the point of this meeting was and why did he call them on such a short notice.

Darren cleared his throat and without any further ado, he said, "you can see the changes happening, right?"

The three nodded. They weren't idiots.

"Then, what do you feel about the Dragons getting a third Supreme Rank?" Darren got straight to the point so as to not waste time of the other Supremes.

Florencia crossed her legs and holding her teacup in hand, she took a sip and said in a calm tone, "do you feel threatened?"

Darren raised his eyebrows in surprise as he heard that while the other two Supremes had a small smile on their faces.

Florencia had a venomous tongue and the three were aware of it. But it still surprised them when she spoke.

Darren knew it was easy for Florencia to provoke someone and he was thus calm despite her speaking like that. He nodded his head and said honestly, 

"Yes. One race having three Supreme Ranks threatens the well-being of the other races. It's not just the Human race that will be threatened if they get a new Supreme Rank but each and every other race present in this world."

Florencia took a sip again and said, "you don't have to worry about the well-being of my race."

What Florencia said was a formal way of asking Darren to mind his own business and think of his own race itself.

Darren knitted his brows and said, "Florencia, are you witches capable of handling the brunt of three Supremes attacking you?"

Tap! Tap!

Alex tapped the table and interrupted the two this time. If he let them speak, then they would continue to bicker like little kids.

Florencia, Anderson, and Darren turned to look at Alex as he interrupted them.

"Darren, what makes you think the Dragons would attack?" Alex asked calmly. 

Darren sighed and said, "Alex, you do know how hot-blooded they are, right? What if they one day decide to go on a rampage? Who will stop them then?"

Alex shook his head and said, "they may be hot-blooded but they aren't fools who would attack anyone on a whim without any particular reason. You are overthinking things."

"You clearly aren't able to think of the far future it seems. Let me make it this way to you. What would you do if your race had three such beings and the rest of the races only had one? Would you not take advantage of your strength and attack?" Darren explained.

Alex shook his head. "Why would I attack anyone? What do I or my race lack? The Angels are and will always be a peace loving race, we won't attack anyone unless absolutely necessary."

Darren knitted his brows and said clicking his tongue, "tsk. Did you forget what one of your Angel King did with one of my Emperor Ranks? Emilia attacked Eric without any solid proof."

Alex sighed as he heard that. He had asked Darren previously as well to drop the case of doubting Emilia but he still hasn't done that it seems.

Alex took out a token from his spatial ring and presented it to Darren. "Have a look at that and tell me what it is and who it belongs to."

Darren picked up the token and examining it, he frowned. This token had slight traces of spiritual power and Darren could figure out who it belonged to._{For more chapters, please visit panda-n(0ve)l.com}

"This–"

"Yes. It belongs to Eric. Emilia found this on the tournament grounds. Is this not enough proof or do you need more?" Alex said calmly.

"He may have accidentally dropped it there. This doesn't say anything." Darren frowned and said.

Alex tapped the table in front and said, "then care to explain why he would even go to the tournament grounds? As far as I know, there's a designated team to conduct the tournament and the inspection of it is done by another team which consists of five Half Emperor Ranks. There was nothing there that would require Eric's assistance."

Darren rubbed his temples as he heard that. He didn't doubt the information Alex gave and contemplated things. 

Soon, a bit of anger built up in him when he realized that this damn Eric made him suffer humiliation again. He finally understood that Emila didn't attack Eric out of thin air and had a solid reason to be angry.

Darren put the token in his pocket and said, "I apologize for doubting Emilia."

He then cleared his throat and said, "Coming back to the topic, the angels being an exception, anyone else would definitely attack the other races as it would bring in a lot of benefits. Florencia there would agree on this statement. From how greedy she is, it wouldn't be a wonder that she would attack if given the means to."

Florencia put her cup down and said, "come to the main point of this meeting and stop wasting our time. Don't make situations and twist things."

Darren sighed and said, "fine. I'll say it straight. I am against them having three Supremes. I am going to stop the person from ascending. Just tell me if you're going to join me or not."

Sigh.

Florencia and Alex both sighed hearing that. They knew what was coming but still, hearing it, it made them sigh. They couldn't fathom the stupidity of Darren by any means. He was a Supreme Rank and a being almost a million years old. He should know better on how to handle things and not act like a senior old man.

Looking at the two sigh, Darren gave up any hopes of roping them in. He thus turned to look at Anderson and asked,

"You've been very quiet for a while, Anderson. Why don't you say anything?"

Anderson shook his head and said, "I won't speak anything until I have a clear view of the entire situation. I can't just join you to blindly attack someone. What if Dagassi and Mayzin are currently protecting that person? What will you do then?"

"There's no problem with that since I have a Supreme Rank with me as well. There's Arbour there. You and me can hold Dagassi and Mayzin and Arbour can go do an assassination and stop the ascension."

Anderson shook his head. "No, I won't be coming unless I have a clear view of the entire situation. What you are saying are just your assumptions. From what I can see, you clearly don't know either about what's happening at that place."

Florencia took a sip of tea and said, "I feel generous today and for that reason, I'll give you a bit of information for free. The person currently undergoing an ascension is not only a good friend of the Dragon Empress, but she is also the former teacher of the Vampire Prince."

p、a,nd a-n、o、ve,l Alex and Anderson both raised their eyebrows in surprise as they heard that. They didn't know about this info before at all.

"I obviously know about it." Darren knew about it since it was due to Arya that Mayzin invaded his palace.

Alex got up from his chair and looking at the three sitting, he said, "I have decided to not take part in any of this. My advice to you all would be to opt for non-violence as much as you can. I'll take my leave now."

Alex vanished from his spot after saying so. He was obviously not going to take part in whatever Darren was planning as he was a person who preferred peace but now that Florencia gave this information, he now knew it was pointless to stay and talk as that would simply mean wasting time.

There was only one answer to that meeting, it was to not stop the ascension. 

Alex was a firm believer of that but now that Florencia said that info, Alex felt that he had spoken enough and it was up to the others to do what they wanted to do. He wouldn't convince or stop them anymore.

Anything even closely related to the Vampire Royal Clan was hot stuff which shouldn't ever be touched. Alex knew about this and thus walked away. If Darren wanted to have a conflict with the former teacher of the Vampire Prince, then he was free to do so, Alex wouldn't convince him anymore to stop.

"I'll take my leave as well." Florencia said and vanished. She also didn't want to take part in this thing Darren was planning.

Darren sighed. "They clearly don't think about the far future. Now then Anderson, what are your plans?"

Anderson shook his head and said, "I am not going to take part in this as well. I don't want to offend the Royal Clan of the Vampire's even indirectly."

Anderson vanished as well after saying so.

BAM!

Darren smashed the table in front of him as he saw everyone leave. "Fools! Do you not know what will happen if that fucking dragon ascends!"
