Vampire's Slice of Life

Elven Customs, Valiyer International Teleportation Circle.

The custom department seemed like a modern day luxurious hotel lobby. There were a lot of doors leading to different rooms at the sides of the lobby where Zelph and his army was.

The lobby had a lot of couches and tables for people to sit and wait.

The two hundred people were sitting on these couches and waiting for their turn.

Zelph was inside one of the nearby rooms of the custom department. The army outside was waiting for their commander to come out. They were all wondering what the lady in red uniform was doing with their commander.

It had been a while since Zelph went in and he wasn't out yet. This did make a lot of people anxious but they knew it was better to just sit and wait instead of trying anything stupid. 

The customs weren't tied to any noble clans and answered only to the Elven Parliament.

Thus, if someone tried to pull some stunt here, even the Scalanis family won't be able to save them. They all could only contain their emotions within themselves and wait.

Meanwhile, just a bit away from the army…

"Blergh!" 

Zelph fell on his knees and puked out blood as he was kicked in his chest by Qianyu, the lady in red uniform who had held back the Elven Army.

The two were in a spacious and clean room. Qianyu simply wanted a few answers from Zelph but he was acting like he didn't know anything about the jade box.

The jade box Qianyu found contained a very potent drug that, if misused, could cause genocide in the Elven Continent.

This drug had the power to wipe out all the people from an entire prefecture just by releasing it in open air. People below Rank 6 would be dead whereas those below Rank 7 would get major permanent disabilities.

Qianyu was given intel of it via the higher authorities and it was said that those authorities got wind of it through an anonymous letter. 

Whatever the case, this matter was of utmost importance and Qianyu couldn't let things slide so easily. She knew there were things Zelph knew of but wasn't revealing them to her. Thus, when dialogue and diplomacy didn't work, she resorted to using force.

This was the first kick from Qianyu and Zelph had already puked blood! His ribs were broken and lungs punctured from this single kick. These were severe internal injuries that brought him one step closer to death.

Zelph shivered as he got a taste of what was to come. 

Qianyu held Zelph's head and looking him straight in the eyes with her own slanted ones, she asked in a serious tone, 

"Answer me, why do you have this drug and what were you going to use it for?" 

Zelph's throat was filled with blood and he couldn't speak.

Qianyu slapped his face once with a healing spell and it caused Zelph to feel a sting on his cheeks. Along with the sting, he felt cold from his throat to his chest. Within a few moments, he realized he could speak and his injuries were healed.

"M-Madam, trust me, I really do not know." Zelph stuttered at the start, but he soon regained his composure.

He was a warrior. Though this was a scary situation, it wasn't enough to make him afraid or break his tenacious will. He wasn't scared of this lady in red uniform as he knew he wasn't guilty. This was definitely some trap that was put out for him and his army.

Qianyu's sword-like eyebrows knitted slightly as she heard that. She was annoyed with how calm Zelph seemed and not to mention, this was the ninth time he had said the same thing. It was as if there was a recorder fit inside his mouth that was made to repeat the same words over and over again.

Qianyu felt like punching Zelph in the face as she got annoyed by the same words and as she was about to do it…

Knock! Knock!

There was a knock that made Qianyu look towards the door and get distracted.

Zelph sighed in relief internally as he was saved from getting punched by this mad lady in front.

Qianyu let go of Zelph's hair and said, "come in."

The door of the room opened and a black-haired, black-eyed guy with no notable looks whatsoever walked inside. Though that was the case, Qianyu didn't miss out one important thing about this guy.

He seemed to have a serious and an indifferent look on his face. Not only that, there was this imaginary aura around him that made even Qianyu feel that he shouldn't be approached or taken lightly.

The guy who just walked in was none other than Lucas, the one and only system user in this world.

‘I made it in time.' Lucas sighed internally and thought.

Lucas walked close to Qianyu and stopped when he was ten steps away from her. 

Lucas did a small bow and said, "Madam Qianyu, I am here on behalf of the Scalanis Family. I have a few important things to talk to you about." 

Qianyu stared at Lucas for a good few seconds and then nodded her head. Judging from how Lucas appeared, he seemed like an authoritative figure and it wouldn't hurt to hear him out.

Zelph wasn't going anywhere anyway and she was really annoyed by his repetitive words. This was definitely a good break.

"Go outside." Qianyu glanced at Zelph and said in a neutral tone.

Zelph got up and left and after Lucas and Qianyu were alone in the room, Lucas took out a black scroll from who knows where and placed it in front of Qianyu.

"What if I tell you that this was a distraction for the customs for something even bigger that is about to happen?" He said calmly.

Qianyu looked at Lucas as she heard that and then at the scroll in his hands. "What do you mean?"

"Madam– ah one sec, let me change things a bit." Lucas got up from his chair and walked behind Qianyu's chair.

Qianyu didn't move from her place and simply waited to see what Lucas was about to do with her brows knitted. 

Qianyu could tell that Lucas wasn't as strong as her despite his demeanor and so she let him perform the stunts that he was doing right now.

Lucas placed his hands on Qianyu's shoulder and before she could react, he whispered in her ear, 

"Herring street. Seventy five years ago. Night of the bloodbath." 

As Qianyu heard that, her entire body shook and a chill went down her spine. 

BAM!

She immediately got up from her chair and slammed Lucas on the wall behind him. 

She held him by his throat and coldly hissed, "Who are you?" 

Qianyu's eyes were murderous and her previous neutral and calm look was gone.

Lucas smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who I am and I am not trying to blackmail you or anything. Let the army go for now and allow them to join the war. I am not going anywhere and will explain everything to you about this matter in detail."

Qianyu wanted to crush Lucas's throat and kill him on the spot but she refrained from doing so and controlled herself.

Qianyu let go of Lucas and walked towards her desk and dialed a number.

The call got connected and Qianyu said hurriedly, "Let the army go to Uklov." 

She hung up without even waiting for the response from the other side and looked at Lucas. "Now say it or you won't make it alive from here."

pan-da-n0vel.com Lucas chuckled and got back to his seat. He handed the black scroll to Qianyu and said, "So the thing is, there's a big conspiracy involved here. The conspiracy is about…"

Lucas talked with Qianyu and while he did that, the army got notice that they were allowed to leave.

They had no idea what occurred and Zelph wondered who this mysterious man was. But whatever the case, he really wanted to get out of this department and join the war. War was better than stupid bureaucracy.

Zelph's army left for the Neutral Continent and meanwhile, in the Neutral Continent…

CLANG!

"Cover! Give me cover!" A disciple in black robes from Lith's squad yelled.

The ten disciples along with Lith, Ralph, and Dennis had broken into the Senzal Clan main area. 

The barrier that was broken alerted the clan and they ended up sending a lot of their soldiers to clash with Lith's squad.

Despite there being only thirteen people in total, the Senzal Clan went overboard and sent a hundred people to clash with this squad.

These people were from the small families and powers of the Redstone City and their life hardly mattered to the tyrant that was the Senzal Clan.

Lith was in the air and had a barrier around him. This barrier was made by himself and there were a few people trying to break it constantly.

Lith was looking below at the twelve people of his squad going against the army from Senzal Clan and was wondering how they would deal with such numbers.

He was almost a pseudo immortal now and had the power to wipe all of these people out in one-shot as there was no one above Rank 9 present here.

Lith thus didn't take them seriously and waited to see what his squad would do and how Ralph and Dennis would command these ten disciples.

Despite being in war and surrounded by enemies, everything was chill for Lith and he simply waited and watched as people clashed together.
