*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

    *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

    *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

    *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

    *LEON*Conrad nodded with satisfaction and slowly stood up from his seat. It seemed that he had achieved his purpose. He walked to the office door, suddenly turned around, and said something to me."Oh, right, I'm still very interested in your girlfriend. You'd better always provide good value to me. Otherwise, I'll still have to go after her."The heavy door of the office was closed with a bang. After he left, I found that my palms were soaked with sweat. I took out my mobile phone and saw that Vicky had called me and sent countless messages. She must be worried about me. "I'm sorry, my love, I can only protect you in this way now. I hope you don't hate me."While thinking about it, I deleted the call records and text messages on my phone one by one. In fact, I hadn't figured out how to face her yet. If I told her all this, she would definitely do something for me—stupid thing.I knew she was powerful, and no creature in this world could defeat her.But the Knightly family was more

    *VICKY*Rainy New York made me feel a little depressed.I was leaning against the window and looking at the street. Pedestrians were trotting in a hurry. The road downstairs of my house was blocked when there should be no traffic jamMany people in New York didn't have the habit of using umbrellas, and I was one of them.I put on a cape. The hood was deep enough to block my face completely, and I put on my scratched bag and walked to Jennifer's store. The traffic jam was a bit serious today, and her shop was not far from my home, so I decided to walk over.I always liked to take shortcuts on rainy days, and it was nice to see the city from a different perspective.I slipped into a small alley, looked around to see if anyone spotted me, flew to the roof, and then jumped between buildings at high speed. Overlooking the whole city gave me a feeling that everything was under control, although this might just be an illusion.I was extremely fast, and instead of walking for twenty minutes,

    *VICKY*I took the note and checked it against the street number plate. I had already checked the numbers on Ditmars Avenue three times but still didn't find the number 335. What the hell was Jenn doing? She mysteriously gave me a note on the store two days ago, saying that an old friend had entrusted her to see if there was a suitable tenant. She also told me that it was a good place that I had never seen before, so I would be satisfied.But the two best stores on this street were occupied by a funeral service company and a tavern, and the initial number on the whole street was 336. After three times around the block, I again returned to the original location, standing in front of this funeral service company dumbfounded."May I ask if you need any help, Miss?"A chubby middle-aged man came out from inside and greeted me politely. He watched me walk in front of his store three times and probably thought I was lost."Oh, Sir, I'm looking for number 335. Do you know where it is?"I ho

    *VICKY*There was no magic chanting or colorful magic effects as I thought. The short guy named Qulin pulled out a hammer full of runes from his bag, and when he held the hammer with both hands, the runes lit up. Then I heard a few loud clangs. The wall was broken out into several large holes as if it was made of paper.This process was repeated many times and the entire wall was smashed through, but strangely enough, the debris that was smashed down looked like burning shredded paper and disappeared directly into midair. The passersby around seemed to be completely unaware of this loud noise and were still doing their own thing.I looked at Lars. He shrugged at me, probably meaning that this was really nothing strange. The only thing that made me curious was the hammer, which was obviously an old object. I wanted to ask about its origins, but then I thought that everyone had secrets, especially these mages.I left the rest of the house layout to Lars. Professional things should be

    *VICKY*I still sold nothing after Jaydan left because, since seeing him again, I became a little distracted. I had a strange feeling in my gut. I kept feeling as if there must have been something that happened between us when we first met, and I felt that this matter was very important.I replayed meeting Jaydan in my mind over and over again. I remembered being dazed in front of the hotel, and then I bumped into Jaydan, who came for an interview, and then I inadvertently got his resume on the way home.When I got back to the hotel again, the interview had already started. I gave him back his resume and teased him for a while, but my main purpose was to make sure Leon saw me, and when he succeeded in the interview, we...Wait a minute. He was now Leon's assistant?With the sudden progress in my little bit of sorting out that lost memory, I seem to remember that we went somewhere afterward, and when we got there, Jaydan explained to me some very confusing things.Seeing that my f

    *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

    *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

    *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

    *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

    *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

    *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?

    *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

    *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

    *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'
