Semua Bab Gaius Spencer and his Vampire's Minute Lifeline: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Human mindset sometimes confused me the most. I only tried to save Lucas from getting killed by a monster. That's what I do being stuck by a Cursed System. But in Cecelia's case, she believes that I did the wrong choice to defend one. Maverick, on the other hand, asks me to choose the right one which I believe is the right thing to do. Needless to say, it is my lifeline that was in the line of the situation. Either Lalaine or Lucas getting killed, whatever the answer gives me the same outcome. A deduction to my lifeline. Victim? She is a victim in the past but possesses an extreme threat, not just to Lucas but to humankind as well. Criminal? Lucas may have molested Lalaine in the past but he is now the victim. That is what I understand from the situation. The two once experienced both; being a criminal and a victim. It so happened that I choose where my life was supposed to get a lifeline increase but in the end, an hour increase was nothing to an entire day's deduction. So, i

"I'm so sorry, Giaus," Monbert uttered with guilt, especially when I pointed my sharp gaze at him alone. He wanted to slide closer to my spot to extend his sincere apology as he used to but Damon stopped him from doing so. Even if I was already gone from the team, I know Monbert still cared for me. After all, he was like a big brother to me. "Since when did I agree to these terms, huh? Do you guys even know the reason why am I here?" I said back. "Stop talking nonsense, Gaius." says the king before he ordered his men to get Maverick out of our sight. "Don't tell me your old team did not tell you anything?" Before those vampires he ordered could lay a hand on my raven, I turned Maverick back to his bird form and pulled him back on my shoulder. Everyone, including Damon and his team, was taken aback when denying it or not, not all vampires can do that kind of magical thing. I owe that to my deceased parents when I inherited a lot of things from them, inc

"Well, I have been daydreaming to fight against your son. Not to mention killing him. Damon's head and heart more than to satisfy my desire for revenge." I fake a smile at the vampire king to let him know he just send his son to his deathbed. "However, I need a bet on this battle. Or should I refer to it as a prize for whoever wins?" Monbert and the rest of the team got back after sending the rest of the vampires to a safer place. Perhaps they think that I will be fighting the vampire king. But a lot of things changed while they were gone. I'm not even sure if they know their idiot leader took the challenge on behalf of the vampire king. "Go on, I'm listening." says the vampire king. So I proposed to him and Damon about my bet; that once I beat Damon, I want the entire council of vampires will ignore my existence. No more summons. Second, none of them, including my previous team will give me an unexpected visit to my place. So am I to the village. I don'

"... I was simply doing what is best for the kids. After all, they are also humans like me. Let alone Jelian and Julian were products and witnesses of how cruel our world is." she added. "Julian and Jelian, huh?" I softly breathe out their names. "But they don't bother me anymore. I just realized that I have bigger things in mind right now, instead of taking chances to hurt and scare them further. One to mention is my lifeline." "And the possibility that a group of furious vampires might ruin all our lives." Maverick also appeared on the rooftop. He was carrying a glass of blood for me and two cans of beer. One is for him, and the other one is for Cecelia, I believe. Good thing Cecelia rejected Maverick's offer when he was about to toss it to her. Instead, she asks him, "what do you mean by that? Is that the reason Gaius was bleeding earlier? Are you guys in trouble?" Maverick nodded. "Ah-huh!" he exclaims. "The hero of New Orleans simply challenges the vamp

That was the first time in my history of being part of the team I witnessed Monbert be that furious with someone. When we were once a team, he used to be calm, soft-spoken, and the kind of person who doesn't care about the world around him, just like me. But right now, he is unleashing the blood-sucking demon inside him. "Gaius, who is weaker than me managed to beat you," he confessed. "how much more I am ten times stronger and faster than both of you combined." I don't know if Monbert intentionally tells Damon those words to stop him or if he was simply bluffing. However, I could barely sense any signs of doubt in his tone and facial expression. Monbert and I are close friends since we become part of the Cursed System but I haven't seen him being deployed into real battles. So I expected him to be simply an ordinary vampire like us. "And you too, Gaius," he added. "I know more than anyone that you are not the kind of vampire who prefers chaos over peace. What ha
