Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 50: Just Friends
*VICKY*Leon had the curtains drawn and I couldn't see what was going on in the room. I had to let the bats climb to the top edge of the window to see if there was any chance I could hear anything coming from his apartment. The light through the curtain slit told me Leon was still awake even at this late hour. Was he thinking about me? Was he scared because of what had happened the other day?My mind was in a tizzy. Yes, vampires, the Allied Holy Order, do exist. Such things really should stay in books or on television, but we were real. I came into my life and brought that world with me and… It almost killed him.Perhaps he didn't understand what it meant to be in love with a vampire when I told him the truth. Now he could see what it meant, he saw the reality of what we would be to each other and also what we could never be to each other. We would never be the same species and should never have tried to be together.What are you thinking? He accepted you, didn't he.Didn't he give
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 51: Resume
*VICKY*Unknowingly, I came back to the place where it all started. If I hadn't applied for that job, everything that followed probably wouldn't have happened. Then, I would still be a happy girl with a sweet tooth, and I might have even become a famous chef by now."Do you regret it, Vicky?" asked the other me inside. "If, as you said yourself, you never love anyone, then you won't be so hurt. Now, look at yourself."I couldn't help but stand in front of the hotel window. Looking at my haggard figure, I almost didn't recognize myself. Well, what was I supposed to do now? Keep pestering him? Obviously, it didn't make sense.I knew exactly what kind of person Leon was. After spending so much time with him, what did he do when Osip pestered him? Those same methods would be used on me.It was so annoying to lose one's self completely in a relationship. Wasn't there any way to turn me back into a rational person? I pinched my face one moment and pulled at my hair the next, trying to make
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 52: Have a Drink With Me
*VICKY*The moment the door opened, I saw Leon sitting inside. He saw me, too. He must have. In fact, I didn't want to leave from the moment I got on the elevator. I wanted to see him one more time, to say a formal farewell to him.Vicky, if you are still considered an elder of vampires, you should go and turn him into your own family now, so that Leon can not resist you no matter what.The other self in my head was screaming at me desperately. It was true that by nature I should have done so, but that was not what I wanted. What I was after was pure love, not the kind of bonding that relied on command or conquest. Even if he didn't love me now, I didn't want to do this either. I found a place to sit down as I thought about it,The door of the elevator opened and the security guards from downstairs came up, including David, who surrounded me with their guns. The applicants who came to the interview were terrified to see such a situation. They rushed to make space."Miss Eaton, please
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 53: The Tattoo
*VICKY*"Okay, okay, you name a place. I'll go with you. Okay?"I didn't expect this guy to be so annoying, like a puppy without an owner wagging his tail for strangers when he saw them. But Jaydan was right. I should indeed have a good drink, preferably to get myself drunk. Maybe, as he said, sleep it off.If I didn't go with him, I guess he would have followed me all the way. His body smelled familiar, but I couldn't remember why."Haha, just come with me. You have nothing to worry about. I promise you'll be okay."Jaydan led me out of the subway station and around the corner to a small alley. It seemed like homeless people had just vacated the alley. The surrounding area was covered with the marks of burning fires. The strong smell of urine made my head spin.A vampire's sense of smell was much sharper than that of humans. This smell affected me far more than a normal person."Wait, is there really a place to drink here? Don't you lie to me. I'm warning you. If you try to do anyth
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 54: Dream
*VICKY*Excuse me, here's your wine. Have a nice evening."Eric blinked his eyes at us. I hastily put away the note Jaydan had given me. Something in front of me caught my eye. It was a golden liquid with a faint glow as if there were stars floating inside. It was simply amazing."Come on. Taste it. This is the specialty of their house. After drinking it, you will definitely forget all your sorrows.""Really?" I looked at him in disbelief, but Jaydan picked up the glass and drank the wine in one gulp. He stretched his hand at me, meaning he had already drunk it first. This stuff was wine, not some poison, and he didn't mean to harm me.I hesitated to pick up the glass of wine and took a small sip.Hey, this stuff was really good to drink! There was a sweet fragrance to it. It felt as if it was a mixture of cinnamon and peach blossoms. Moreover, it was light in taste, unlike ordinary whiskey which could be irritating to the throat.I took two more sips. Huh, the taste changed again. No
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 55: The Bread Thief
*VICKY* I don't know what the hell happened yesterday. Did someone break into my room? How come I didn't remember anything? I thought hard, trying to remember. After I left the hotel yesterday, my memory became blurry. I seemed to follow someone to a place, and then... then... Then I couldn't recall anything at all. I picked up the note on the table and looked at it. I didn't know the handwriting, but the bats around were not responding, which meant that this person was not hostile to me. Forget it. I rubbed my head and put on my clothes and bag to go out, but the moment I walked to the gate, I suddenly realized that I didn't know where I was going. I was fired. It was done between Leon and me. Everything in the dream was an illusion. I had to face reality. Good food always made me happy. I put down my bag, put on a comfy home dress, opened the refrigerator, and took out the ingredients that had long been stocked up. It was fine Spanish ham, ribeye steak, and some of my self-made
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 56: The Messenger
*VICKY*There was a burst of sarcastic laughter from those men around him. Obviously, they mistook me for a high school student. It was no wonder that happened. Who would believe that I was actually a 500-year-old woman when seeing my little girl's face?"Guys, I'm not kidding. Put down your guns and hurry home. You've had enough for today. Do as you're told."I also retorted back with a playful tone to them. Feeling awkward, a few of them walked toward me with darkened faces and took out guns from their pockets.They intended to get rid of me. So ridiculous!I put them down with several quick punches without allowing them to speak this time. The physical strength of mortals was too weak. Even another dozen of such people wouldn't cause me any threat.I gently kicked a few people who passed out, revealing the fierce darkness in my eyes. My pupils instantly turned red. The one with his gun pointing at me probably had never seen such a thing. He was so scared that his weapon fell to the
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 57: Father and Son
*LEON*It was another full moon. I remembered she told me before that something terrible would happen on the day of the full moon. Looking back now, what she said was true.I stared at the full moon outside the window and sighed deeply. Forgive me, Vicky. I had no other alternative. You don't know how much I wanted to hug you when you came to see me.Forgive me. I am still too weak. When I have the strength, I will come back to pick you up. But for now, I had to leave you. Now I can only help you financially. I hope you are alright. I want you to have a good life. When the time is right, I will tell you everything.My vision gradually became blurry, and my thoughts were pulled back to a few days ago…"Come here, sit down."In my office, a middle-aged man with gray hair and a big beard stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, staring at the whole of Manhattan solemnly. I was surprised because he was my father, Conrad Knightly. He had rarely shown care for me since I

Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 99: Experiment
*Leon*I knew Vicky had to leave at some point. Our sweet time together couldn't last forever, but I didn't expect that moment to come so quickly. Although I knew that moment was bound to come, and although I had prepared myself mentally, I still felt lost when it really happened. It seemed like something had been taken away from my heart, and it suddenly became empty.I was actually a particularly timid person who was afraid of loss. The more I remembered those beautiful times, I couldn't help how sad I felt because of them. But now there was no time for me to drown in such emotions. After Vicky left, I immediately arranged a flight and returned to New York in a hurry. After that night, Jaydan never appeared in the office again. I heard from Vicky that they were, in a sense, a similar kind.As a normal human being, I had become a minority instead.Now I felt that the answers to all those questions should be within my family. But with my current situation, not
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 98: Interrupting the Slumber Ritual
*Vicky*I stepped forward and the members of the Elder's Church who'd been waiting on the sidelines draped me in a ritual robe. Afterwards they would then drive a long nail into my heart, which was stained with the blood of Lord Primogenitor, allowing me to maintain my strength while falling into slumber.Kristen pulled the switch next to my sculpture. The sculpture slowly descended, and a pure white coffin rose up. I stepped into the coffin, waiting for them to drive a long nail into my heart. If they could do it skillfully, I wouldn't feel the pain.I closed my eyes and waited for the moment to come. But at that moment, the entrance to the hall of the Sanctuary suddenly became noisy. It seemed someone had barged in."Silence! Don't you know where this place is? Don't disturb the slumber of Lord Primogenitor and the Kindreds!"Kristen tried to silence his men when the guards at the door came rushing in to report."Lord Tybirus, we have visitors.""Wh
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 97: Returning to the Elder's Church
*Vicky*I couldn't believe my eyes. The diary clearly recorded the process of the experiment done back then. I read every line of words on it attentively."We conducted experiments on the experimental subjects with a variety of drug combinations. The vast majority of reagents caused the direct death of the subjects. Only reagent No. 69 worked. The toxins in the blood of the subject were finally removed after repeated injections, and the subject was restored to its human identity. After follow-up investigations for half a year, the subject's mental condition was normal, and he was well integrated into society. This was really an exciting moment. After centuries of exploration, our research finally yielded results...""The most crucial formula for Reagent No. 69 is the Mist Lotus, the Holy Water, and..."The pages that recorded the key materials was blurred and unrecognizable at the bottom because of its age. What was the last constituent element?I was a little
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 96: The Ultimatum
*Vicky*I took a closer look and saw that it was the familiar face of a middle-aged man."How did you find me?""I followed your bat here."The Messenger pointed to the reconnaissance bat on his head. It was originally placed near my house in New York to be responsible for guarding. If there was something important, the Messenger could use blood to communicate directly with it and ask it to locate me.I put away my claws and looked upstairs. Leon hadn't woken up yet."If you have something to say, then hurry up and say it so you can leave already."My tone was a little anxious. Now that The Messenger had appeared here, there was a high probability that the Elder's Church already knew about what I'd done.The Messenger took out a letter inside a black envelope, on which was stamped a blood-red seal with a flame emblem. The moment I saw that emblem, I immediately understood what it meant."I'm sorry, my lord. Please return quickly. Before that
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 95: Leaving with Leon
*Vicky*"Leon, we discussed this last time. Right now, the situation at hand isn't over. Even if we run away, they'll find us. I have to stay.""Alright then, I'll stay with you.""No, Leon, you still have things to do, and your mother wouldn't want to see you waste your life so casually.""You're wrong. During this period, I realized we were all caught in a misunderstanding. You and I always want to carry everything for each other, but we've never thought love is a matter of two people. No matter what happens, we need to face it together. Therefore, I won't leave today. We'll never be separated in the future."Leon grabbed my hand. I stared at the determined look in his eyes and finally let go of all my worries. I nodded."Okay…okay, just as you said, let's go to a new place and start over. No matter what happens, I won't leave you again."I leaned on his shoulder, the happiness sweeping away my exhaustion.Suddenly, a car hurried to the entranc
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 94: Arthur's Death
*Vicky*Arthur was afraid of death, and now he was so frightened by me that he couldn't say a word.Of course, I was happy to see him like this. I waved my right hand with First Snow and viciously pierced his other leg. In an instant, the freezing air sealed his whole leg. He howled loudly in pain, and now the unbeatable king of the underground was like a lost dog, unable to even escape."Laugh again. Go on, why did you stop?"I slowly slashed his clothes with my claws."No, don't do this! Please let me go!""Let you go? There should be many people who've begged you just like that, right? Have you spared them? You didn't even spare your own brother for the sake of profit, and you wantonly take innocent lives in order to gain your father's favor."Swish. I flicked my claws and tore a piece of flesh from his leg."Ahhh!"Painful screams echoed through the warehouse, but no one could come to his aid now."Do you remember the boy named Lou?
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 93: Torment Begins
*Vicky*Men poured in endlessly from all around the containers and docks, forming what seemed to be an endless ocean of people. Despite that, I enjoyed the thrill of the kill. I didn't know how long it had been since I last had such a feeling.The crowd wouldn't stay a crowd for long though. After I killed a few people and created an opening, I flew to the window and used the echoes of the guns for the scout bats to find the snipers who were hidden and shooting at me. I appeared in front of them in an instant, and they, who had thought they were in a safe place, looked at me in surprise as I rushed towards them. The last scene they saw was me waving First Snow to take their heads off.I wandered in Shadow Form and appeared behind them silently, slicing their bodies one by one like cutting a watermelon, and after licking the blood from my lips, I began to get more excited.After cleaning up the borders of the place, I returned to the warehouse and found that the grou
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 92: Battle in the Warehouse
*Vicky*I packed up my things, took First Snow with me, and changed into a track suit that was easy to move in.Tonight, everything would finally end. "Leon, if I come back alive, I'll be there to see you, and if I don't make it through the night, I want you to be happy and take Osip and go live somewhere where no one knows you."I took a deep breath, zipped up my backpack, and walked out of the room.Just as I was about to enter the shadows, Jaydan suddenly called out to me."Vicky! Vicky, wait a minute. Don't go yet!"He came running towards me, panting and looking a little panicked."Something's wrong. Leon's been taken!""What? How did this happen?""A large group of people, supposedly Arthur's men, came to the hotel today. They said they were there to take over the hotel business and forced me to hand over all my management access codes. I didn't give them up though, and found a chance to transform and escape.""Do you know where h
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 91: Scheme
*Leon*"Are you wondering how we found out you were scheming something?" Conrad continued, "I know about everything you've done since you arrived here, including that smart-ass little tunnel of yours. Did you really think I didn't know? I knew about it before your mother passed away, and I left it there on purpose."Why? Why couldn't I read the thoughts of the people around me? Not just Conrad, but also Arthur and his subordinates—I couldn't read any of them. How was this possible? They couldn't have professionally trained everyone, could they?Conrad saw my puzzled expression and seemed extremely pleased."Hahaha! Well, well, well, curious as to why your little trick doesn't work anymore, aren't you?"He casually pulled one of his subordinates over and showed me the electronic bracelet on his wrist."This is a blocking bracelet, a small device recently developed by our scientists. When we wear it, we can truly become invisible. Even those alien creatures'
