“After that, I dabbled in some investments when I was bored. When I was extremely idle, I'd travel around. You guys have no idea. I walked across more than half of Europe on these legs. That was my longest trip. It lasted for fifty years.”
After reminiscing about the past, Count Charlie took a big gulp of his drink.
“You were born out of a curse. What about the other vampires?”
Niannian hadn't forgotten that Count Charlie had mentioned he had other kin. Scratching her head, she asked curiously.
“I turned them all into vampires. They voluntarily wanted to become part of the same race as me. I couldn't stand their pestering, and I was afraid that something like what happened to Mary would happen again, so I simply agreed to their request.”
Count Charlie was hiding a lot of things, like how he refined his life - bound coffin and how he mastered the method of drawing power from blood. All these things were covered up.
It was hard to tell if he didn't want to talk about them or if he'd simply forgotten due to the passage of time.
But neither of these mattered to them. What was important was...
“So, what on earth is the feud between you and the werewolves?”
Zhang Zicheng asked with great curiosity. There were countless legends about werewolves and vampires, but the real feud between them was unknown to most.
Count Charlie scratched his head and grimaced. After a long while, he lowered his head in annoyance. “It's all my fault. I just fell in love with a girl from their clan and had a relationship. But that girl suddenly turned into a wolf on a full - moon night. I just couldn't accept it, so I ran away.”
“Then they called me a heartless man and would attack me on sight. The vampires I turned were quite supportive of me. They couldn't stand others speaking ill of me. As time went on, the arguments turned into fights, and now it's a feud of life - and - death.”
“But I don't think I did anything wrong. Who can accept their wife being a wolf? And a wolf that would run out into the yard on a full - moon night and howl at the moon. They were also in the wrong in this matter.
I'd always make my identity clear when in a relationship. I'm a very honest person. But that girl hid the fact that she was a werewolf during our relationship. That's very dishonest. I strongly condemn such behavior. If we really dig into it, they could even be accused of marriage fraud.”
Count Charlie scratched his head awkwardly. The others looked at him sideways with the most complex expressions.
This guy was a real playboy. He claimed to have true love everywhere, but it was all in the past.
“You're really a heartless man.”
Liu Chuchen despised this kind of person the most, partly because his father was a philanderer.
Count Charlie wrinkled his nose, swallowed the last mouthful of his drink, stood up, and said, “I feel the atmosphere here is a bit off, maybe because of the alcohol. And this place is really not suitable for you guys. How about I take you to the fields to enjoy the scenery? I know a place with really nice views.”
Changing the subject was the best way to deal with the awkwardness. The bar was indeed not suitable for everyone present. Since he didn't want to continue the conversation, the others had no objections.
Especially Little Tuanzi, who nodded repeatedly, indicating that she wanted to leave.
They'd only just sat down, but now they had to change places.
The scenic place Count Charlie mentioned was quite far away, so they had to drive there.
The car had only been driving for a short while when, as they entered an alley, a group of burly men on motorcycles suddenly came towards them.
These burly men were all muscular, with rugged looks and all kinds of tattoos on their bodies.
They were all wearing black leather pants and half - open leather jackets, looking a bit greasy.
Seeing such a group of people, Count Charlie frowned.
“Here they come.”
“Here who comes?”
Little Tuanzi tilted her head and asked curiously.
“Of course, it's the werewolves you've been looking forward to.”
Count Charlie stepped on the brake and stopped the car. The group of motorcyclists also stopped right in front of their car.
The leading man was holding a cigarette between his lips, his head held high. His deliberately long hair fluttered in the wind.
Coupled with his thick beard, his image... was quite hard to describe.
“Get out of the car.”
The man shouted. Count Charlie simply opened the door and got out.
In contrast to his elegant and handsome appearance, the man looked even more unappealing.
“Didn't you get beaten enough last time?”
Count Charlie put on a mocking look, which was very different from his usual gentlemanly demeanor.
“Are you sure it was me who got beaten? Weren't you the one who scurried off to China? Why are you back now? I think you should just hand over your territories. Be proactive, and you'll suffer less. Otherwise, you'll still end up crying and handing over your territories after we beat you up. That would be so embarrassing.”
The man also looked disdainful. They looked down on the vampire race the most for their always - so - gentlemanly behavior.
It was as if everyone else was vulgar.
They weren't even human, so what were they pretending for?
“Hehe, just come at me with whatever you've got. Do you think I'm scared of you?”
With his backup behind him, Count Charlie stood up straight and wasn't intimidated at all. The helpers he'd invited were all in the car. He just needed to call them, and they'd come out to help. They should be able to beat the werewolves back.
The werewolves were annoyed by his arrogant attitude. The leading man threw his head back and howled at the sky: “Awoooooo~”
The men and women beside him also threw their heads back and started howling like wolves.
The scene looked quite comical.
These Western spirits always seemed to be a bit lacking in the brains department.
Niannian had never seen such spirits before. Curiously, she opened the window and poked her head out.
A cute little head popped out of the car. The werewolves who were in the middle of howling suddenly stopped.
What was going on?
What kind of normal person would bring a kid out when they knew it was dangerous and a fight could break out at any moment?
Was it a little vampire?
But when did the vampire race start reproducing? Weren't they always turning humans through the First Embrace?
The werewolf leader was full of questions. After thinking for a while, he stopped dwelling on it.
Anyway, since the kid was in Count Charlie's car, it meant they were on the same side.
Whether it was a kid or an old person, they'd all be beaten.
Especially kids were easier to bully. It would be easy to deal with them. Maybe they could even be captured and used as a bargaining chip.
“So, are you guys really going to provoke me today?”
