He took out a sharp knife and thrust it toward her eyes, expecting her to open her mouth, beg, or at least say something.

But to his surprise, Elvira stayed silent. She clenched her fist, tears falling from her closed eyes as she prepared to die.

As the knife inched away from her face, his hand shook for a moment but then stopped. He gulped, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes briefly.

When they opened again, his life force seemed to emerge from his body, raising his killing intent and turning it almost tangible.

He then got close to Elvira\'s ear and began to whisper.

After a few minutes, he cut the rope binding Elvira and let her go, surprising MingYue.

The words Alex whispered could only be heard by Elvira, despite MingYue\'s sharp hearing. After Elvira left, MingYue looked at Alex suspiciously.

"What did you say to her? Why did you let her go?"

"It\'s clear she won\'t say anything further. I could try to put her under a system and force her to obey, but with that mark on her, it\'s too risky.

I whispered that I wasn\'t part of Alucard\'s faction but Vladimir\'s, just like her. Then I told her to report back to Vladimir."

"But we\'re not with either of them. The woman will get in trouble for sure. I thought you didn\'t like manipulating the innocent."

"We\'ll intervene before that happens. I planted a bug on her and etched some runes into it. I never expected we\'d need it so early."

Alex put the rune Vesa created before; he had already prepared some surprise inside of it.

"You want to confront them directly? You said you\'d be careful."

"Of course not. Do you think Elvira will go straight back to her backer? She\'ll probably go home first and talk to her family about this.

This way, we can gather more information about the two factions."

"Do you have any ideas?" MingYue asked, knowing Alex usually had more understanding than her in cases like this.

"I suspect Alucard\'s faction descended from the original vampire that escaped, while Vladimir\'s faction is a new one trying to take over. But this should only happen if this vampire is already dead."

"Is that possible? Every vampire is ageless and hard to kill. The one who escaped also took a part of Alucard with him, meaning his strength should keep growing despite being unable to fully absorb it. For him to die seems impossible."

"Maybe he was wounded and barely alive when he returned. Then somehow, he used part of Alucard to create his descendants, like cloning."

"Hmm… so what now?"

"Let\'s wait. I\'ve asked Patricia and Zargath to follow her. And MingYue, sorry for pushing you into this.

I\'m the one who needs this done quickly to rescue my father."

MingYue sighed. "You\'re strange. One moment, you act like we\'re close, and the next, we\'re strangers.

Our lives are intertwined, anyway. Didn\'t we already talk about this?

I help you. You help me. Just like I never blamed you for using Vesa to help your sister."

"Thanks," Alex said.

He felt guilty since this was already the second time his decision had caused trouble for both of them.

Meanwhile, MingYue never did that. Instead, she is the one who finds solutions for his mistakes.

MingYue could sense Alex\'s guilt. Usually, she didn\'t care about others\' feelings like this, but she remembered how Alex had cheered her up when she was down about her parents.

"Don\'t mention it; you\'ve helped me a lot, too."

"I didn\'t do much, but let\'s forget about it. It\'ll only make things more depressing," Alex replied.

He then changed the topic. "Now, do you think Vesa is really unconscious or not?"

MingYue frowned. She then closed her eyes, trying to sense Vesa\'s presence.

They\'d been linked for so a while now that she had learned to understand Vesa\'s mood and condition.

"I think Vesa is really asleep, but there\'s no way to tell since Vesa is a being beyond our comprehension."

Alex nodded. "Let\'s assume Vesa is asleep. If coming here is intentional, what do you think the reason is?"

MingYue chuckled. "The first time we met, I was the one who was wary of Vesa. Now you\'re the one feeling that way?

Isn\'t it a bit too late, Alex? Now, we don\'t have a choice in the matter. Maybe when we become stronger. Vesa does absorb quite a lot of life force."

"Rather than worry, I\'m more curious. Other than the life force from that talking skeleton Rook, the rest Vesa absorbed seems to have disappeared without any results.

I also don\'t understand why Vesa feels the need to hide so much information.

Remember the eye being I told you about?"

"Yes, the one you said might be even stronger than the progenitor? I saw the memory you shared, and it gave me chills.

How many strong beings like that are there? And how many are our enemies?"

"Yeah, but that\'s what confuses me. Even though that is found out about me, why does Vesa still hide crucial information from us?

The only possible reason I can think of is that Vesa can\'t tell us because she also doesn\'t know."

"What do you mean?"

"Like Alucard, Vesa was also separated into many pieces. We\'ll probably find out if my speculation is correct after we get this one."

"What will you do if this bloodline vampire is still alive?" MingYue asked.

She still feels skeptical about how they could fight such a being.

Alex\'s lips curled into a grin. "I\'ve thought a lot about it. Don\'t worry; I have some ideas.

MingYue, before these kinds of superpowers existed in my world, we humans had already become apex predators despite many animals being able to tear us apart easily.

What do you think the reason for this?"

"Because of your world\'s technology," MingYue answered.

She knows firsthand how destructive weaponry from Alex\'s world is. But for her, what is most scary is not this. It is how adaptive they are.
