Chapter 31

Zhou Yi's sudden outburst naturally caused chaos on the scene, leaving many people flustered. The vampire butler, still hanging on the wall, looked furious and struggled to get down. However, under such an attack, he had already suffered severe internal injuries. Although it was not fatal for a vampire, it was virtually impossible for him to move without some time to recover.

The old man and the car mechanic both watched the spectacle with no intention of intervening. Blade stood expressionless, blocking the other passage, clearly indicating that anyone wanting to bring in more vampires for help would have to get past him first. Any discerning person could see that Blade and his two companions had no intention of helping the vampires. In fact, they were quite pleased to see someone take care of the vampires.

Zhou Yi continued to move forward but was stopped by someone. It was not anyone else but Nisha Makinos, who should have been terrified of him.

At this moment, the woman showed no fear. Instead, she stood in front of her father, leaning forward with bared fangs and claws, like a spiky hedgehog, clearly issuing a warning.

When her father was threatened, this woman burst with astonishing potential, overcoming her fear and facing her inner nightmare. This was something Zhou Yi had not expected, so he stopped.

Standing before this vigilant woman, Zhou Yi tilted his head. He did not care what she intended to do. He could pause for a moment because she had shown remarkable courage. However, he would not stop because of a woman's obstruction, even if they had just had a friendly conversation.

If the so-called Supreme Grand Duke of the vampires did not take any action, he did not mind killing half of the vampires here first and then seeing what the remaining ones looked like, to see what kind of threat they posed. For the vampires here, they had a Grand Duke who had lived long enough to understand the intricacies of power and the psychology of others.

The vampire Grand Duke extended a hand and placed it on his daughter's shoulder, stepping out from behind her. "Please calm your anger, Dawn Knight!" The vampire Grand Duke bowed, spreading his hands in a submissive posture.

"I am deeply sorry for my inappropriate words. I hope you can forgive an old man's ramblings. The current situation may be trivial to a powerful person like you, but it is extremely urgent for ordinary humans and vampires. So, I hope you can forgive my unintentional mistake."

Such a submissive posture was rare, even for an old human. Zhou Yi did not believe that the old man was really doing this to deal with the crisis. He believed that the vampire Grand Duke had ulterior motives.

However, since the other party wanted to put on a show, he might as well play along and see what the old man was up to.

Taking a step forward to provoke the fragile nerves of the vampire father and daughter, Zhou Yi then silently flicked his cloak and returned to his original position. Blade, who had been blocking the door, grinned, showing his white teeth, and casually returned to his position.

At this moment, the vampires were very clear that these two famous vampire hunters did not take the so-called Supreme Grand Duke of the vampires seriously. Everything was just self-indulgence and self-boasting.

The vampire Grand Duke placed one hand on his chest and the other behind his back. His fingers clenched tightly, even causing his knuckles to twist. Clearly, he was extremely angry inside. However, by choosing to vent his anger through this small action, it meant he would not burst out at this moment.

Nisha had the impulse to rebuke such impolite behavior, but her father pressed her shoulder with such force that it caused her pain. This pain stopped her because she understood that her father would not agree with her doing so.

The vampire Grand Duke restrained his daughter's impulse and then clapped his hands toward an arched door. A well-dressed, refined-looking blonde man walked out.

"Hello, everyone."

The man appeared quite calm, but his eyes kept glancing toward Zhou Yi, revealing his inner tension. However, this man clearly had considerable experience, and his inner emotions did not affect his speech.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Carlo Conner."

Saying this, he extended his right hand to Blade. Blade grabbed his hand, not in a polite handshake, but by flipping it over. He stared directly at a tattoo-like mark on Carlo's hand, coldly asking, "Are you human?"

Carlo tried to pull his hand away but could not because Blade held it tightly. He decided not to waste effort and instead put on a witty face. "Almost, I am a lawyer. The legal advisor of the European Health Consortium."

His words were witty, but they did not improve Blade's expression. These people, who no longer considered themselves human, worshiped vampires and hoped their vampire masters would grant them eternal life. Such people were precisely what Blade despised the most, as they constantly hindered his efforts to hunt vampires.

Blade released his hand, and Carlo immediately pulled it back and rubbed it. Being a pampered person, being gripped by Blade was not a pleasant experience. When this man, who could be called a traitor, approached Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi crossed his arms and said, "When you become a vampire one day, be sure to let me know. I will give you an unforgettable experience."

By saying this, he meant he had already decided to kill this man named Carlo, but he held back because Carlo was human. However, such a traitor would eventually become a non-human, and that would be the day of his death.

Carlo naturally understood Zhou Yi's meaning and awkwardly smiled, not knowing what to say. No matter how good his eloquence, it could not give him any sense of security against such a powerful person.

At this moment, the vampire Grand Duke Alida, who had just ordered his loyal butler to be saved, came over to defuse the situation. For him, this man named Carlo was very important, otherwise, he would not have become a significant figure under him as a human.

The vampire Grand Duke silently walked to a specimen, pretending to admire it, and said, "As you know, the vampire's habit of drinking blood is like an infectious virus, spread through the saliva of the predator."

His method of rescuing his subordinate was very clever, not mentioning the person involved but shifting the attention to a more important topic. His approach was effective, and both Zhou Yi and Blade abandoned the insignificant Carlo, focusing on the vampire Grand Duke's explanation.

"This virus can spread throughout the human body in 72 hours, producing parasitic tissue. In other words, it takes just three days to create a new vampire."

The vampire Grand Duke's expression was somewhat intoxicated. Compared to the pitiful natural birth rate of vampires, this virus-like method of transmission was the fundamental way for vampires to expand, and the cornerstone of his empire.

Hearing this, Blade gritted his teeth and said, "Like cancer cells!" His hatred for vampires was not baseless.

Because he himself had half-vampire blood. This bloodline did not come from a romantic story but from a vampire's attack on an ordinary human. His mother was attacked by a vampire just before giving birth. When the vampire's virus infected her body and then the fetus, his fate was sealed.

He was not human because he had the strength and bloodlust of a vampire. But he was not a vampire because he was not afraid of sunlight or silver. Vampires called him a Daywalker, a legend. But to him, it was the root of his unfortunate life.

If not for the vampire's attack, he might have been an ordinary human, living a simple and happy life. But now, he could only hunt vampires, using their blood to mourn his fate and everything he had lost.

Hearing Blade's words, the vampire Grand Duke Alida clenched his hand and showed some fangs, but quickly retracted this action, correcting with a tone.

"Rather, purposeful cancer cells."

Cancer cells have the characteristics of infinite proliferation and devouring everything. By saying cancer cells have a purpose, it seemed less like cancer cells. Seeing that the vampire Grand Duke did not want to continue, Carlo immediately took over.

"Unfortunately, the virus also evolves." His expression became serious, looking like a professional.

"We have discovered a new evolutionary variant, which we call the R variant." He pulled out a portable 3D image device.

"Like all good pathogens, it can quickly find the carrier and spread the infection!"

At this point, the 3D image showed Chadnomar attacking a secret blood bank in the subway. A few people watched the video expressionlessly, until Chadnomar revealed his strange mouth.

Carlo pointed to the final image and said, "That's him, Chadnomar!"

The vampire Grand Duke then glanced at Blade and said, "A natural-born vampire, but like you, a very rare variant. Unlike the rest of us, however..."

He showed a look of extreme aversion and disgust, as if seeing a failed creation of his own.

"He not only feeds on humans but can also survive by feeding on vampires. This is the root of all chaos!"
