chapter 8

“Why, does Momo think that this is bad?” Naze looked at the terrified Momo and asked.

“I don’t think so, it’s just a bit of a surprise… But it’s also reasonable!” Momo touched her nose and probed[1], and innocently said, “They live longer than human beings, and they should have learned a lot in their long lives. Living for hundreds of years, only alongside trees and bark, even in the woods, you wouldn’t fall for the temptation of human blood everyday. Hey, I am not saying that the blood family is not good for drinking blood, that–“

The more she probed, the darker it got. Momo massaged her head in annoyance, secretly blaming herself for not being able to explain. Naze didn’t immediately pick up her words, and instead gently caught her hand: “You don’t need to put up your guard around me.”

After a pause, Naze continued: “The blood family doesn’t use human blood or private blood sources. All the blood is provided by the blood banks we operate. However, they enjoy privileges, but actually refuse to change[2].”

“Your sudden rush back to the company, is it related to this?” Momo asked.

Naze saw that Momo was interested in listening, waiting for an explanation. However, just when he was about to explain, the door was suddenly knocked. He sighed and frowned. When Momo met his eyes, she reached out and held his brow: “Don’t frown, I don’t like it.”

“It seems that there is really a fierce quarrel over there.” Naze took Momo’s hand, his gaze on her filled with warmth.

“I’ll go with you,” Momo looked tired and suddenly had an urge to fight with him. Naze grabbed her hand, as if he wanted her to stay. This scared Momo, making her immediately take back her words. “No. Even if that was the case, I was just talking about it.”

“No, I think that you haven’t seen other blood races yet,” Naze said, a warm smile on his face. “Your willingness to accompany me already makes me very happy. I know this is not a good thing.”

Momo smiled and opened her fists. She was ready to fight. Naze’s smile grew bigger. Momo quickly climbed down from Naze’s leg, changed clothes, handed the child to the servant, and looked at the meeting room with enthusiasm.

When Naze and Momo walked into the conference hall, the people in the entire conference hall stood up and bowed. However, some of their faces were in no way related to elegance and respect.

Naze took Momo’s hand and sat down at the chief’s position. He said indifferently: “Please use Chinese in the meeting and continue.”

After three seconds of silence, all eyes began to turn to Momo, who was next to Naze, standing there so favored. This should be the Princess of the Vatican clan. She indeed has a good temperament, but as a human, what is she doing here?!

Receiving the eyes of everyone, curious or inquiring, Momo turned to Naze, pleading for support. Naze smiled and squeezed her hand and whispered in her ear: “The last time we were at the banquet for our Ventrue clan, everyone became familiar with you. Today, there are some clan representatives. My Momo is the best. They look at you, you just have to smile back.”

“Alright,” Momo whispered, but she came here and only to watch. She thought about Naze’s words and turned her head. She looked at the people sitting there. The left side were wearing aristocratic traditional costumes, while the right side were wearing suits, but all-in-all, they were all handsome men and women.

“His highness Ventrue, our Brujah clan does not agree to continue this proposal. It is an insult to our blood family.” A man with a long yellow beard on the left couldn’t wait to say.

When his words just finished, another woman on the left wearing a black colored dress immediately interfaced: “Oh, dear, can you really represent the views of the Brujah family? It is said that even humans know, Bru What kind of ‘hey’ is the Hess!” (3)

Immediately, after the comment, a sharp sneer came next: “Oh, God, the artists of Toreador have come. I thought you will only be passionate about the drawing board and the piano!”

Momo looked to the left of the nobility, and could not help but grin. She thought about the snide remarks. Even if they were wearing the same clothes as a faction, that still didn’t hide the internal contradictions they had, probably for a long time.

“Silence!” The red man who stayed close to the left side of Naze was finally unable to hold his breath, “Requesting the clan representatives to please pay attention to the meeting.”

The scum of the Senate Council, no, blood slag, Momo compares her fist under the table(4). She already heard everything from Naze on the road. The Elder Council of the blood family stood equivalent to the court of the blood family. There are nine people in total, all of whom have lived for nearly a thousand years. They were wearing red clothes symbolizing the so-called blood spirit. The incident was planned by the three old guys who were sitting on the left side of Naze, who tried to take advantage of Naze’s absence to destroy the self-governing system established by Naze, and regain the power of the increasingly empty-headed parliament.

Only silence, the representatives on the left were stunned by them, and there was no sound.

In fact, clan representatives were not willing to offend the Ventrue clan. The Prince of Ventrue was the only one to inherit the bloodline. It was said that there was Cain’s bloodline. Although they were not respectful, they did not dare to violate such a prince who held the real power. They were afraid even if the world was not chaotic. Today, these people were purely here to join in the fun. There were not many opportunities in the long life to have a bright and straightforward leader of the blood race.

Seeing that no one responded to him, the elder who had just opened his mouth had to turn his head and say to Naze: “Your Royal Highness, you see, the clan representatives have taken a reserved view on this proposal of your company. So, I think, about that virtual online game development project, his royal highness must also carefully consider it.”

Glutinous rice?! Momo, who was still looking around, immediately caught the words in her ears: “What virtual online games?”

Momo’s problem seems to be a bit cold, but under Naze’s gesture, a man in his right, in a working uniform, stood up and answered her: “Mrs. Momo, please allow me to answer this question for you. By the facts on the screen, the current online game category is accessed by computers and belongs to the carrier online game. However, after more than ten years of development, it can no longer meet the needs of human beings. They expect a more realistic and all-round feeling, so the company hopes to assemble The bloody staff with the illusion ability that can meet the needs of the players by letting humans create hallucinations, and then develop virtual online games -“

“Why are we bloody people developing such things? I have played their games, they’re just plain boring!” The Brujah Clan Yellowbeard finally found the opportunity to speak.

“But this way, we can see the sun at least, even just being in the game,” A small voice suddenly came out of the shadows, and the slightly swaying curtains revealed his hiding place.

“Add a seat to the Nosferatu clan representative,” Naze, who has been silent all this while, ordered.

“No, no!” The person behind the screen was very confused and refused, “I’ll stay here.”

“Then, put the seat behind the screen.” Momo said in a soft tone. Naze once said that the Nosferatu clan became ugly every day after being first embraced(5). They lived away from the sewers or the underground tombs, but they were very kind.

“Thank you, madam human!”

Well, weird name, but Momo can’t laugh.

However, this warm scene obviously irked the beautiful Toreador beauty: “Nosferatu’s hamster, what do you know?! The night is the life of our blood family, we dominate it! Let those who believe in God reign during the day. These guys are going toss it!”

“The key issue is not day and night. If you can save 10% of your expenses, the blood family don’t need to be busy handling money. You guys are so drunk!” The elegant mask of the elder sitting on the right side of Naze finally faded the elegant mask and shouted loudly.

“Money? We can go grab it!” The aristocrats on the left suddenly whispered. There’s no way they would make any real money.

“Don’t forget the first commandment of the blood family, avoid the world! You go to rob, do you think the humans will not know?!

“And you’re trying to use your power to develop games. Is humanity dumb?”

“Oh, Satan, our noble blood family, why care about those inferior human beings!”

“Give me all shut up!(6)” Momo patted the table and made a fuss. When she was a human being?!
