Chapter 78: Chapter 78: A Strange Old man
The sound of multiple people running echoed across the surroundings as Yen looked around warily, only relaxing when the sound disappeared. However, she didn’t come out and instead went back inside.
She, Ronan, and Hesa were currently hiding inside a shallow, closed-off shop.
"Gone?"
Hesa asked as Yen nodded.
"Damn it... what happened?"
Ronan asked, his face twisted as Yen and Hesa exchanged glances and then sighed.
Was Ronan the one to be blamed, or were they?
They had never known that becoming vampires would not only grant them strength but also make them incredibly attractive.
"We are already in the city and currently hiding from the nobles who took an interest in us."
Yen answered.
"Do you really not know? Why were you in a trance?"
Hesa asked, genuinely curious.
Ronan’s face twitched.
That... that bastard guard.
Damn you.
This ghoul has marked your face.
Ronan promised himself that he would make sure that guard’s life was miserable before he was sacrificed.
"Heh, I see. Since they are gone, let’s explore this city."
Ronan spoke as he was about to stand up when he felt a palm push his chest back down.
"Master... wait. I think we might need to cover our faces or find something that reduces our appearance. It would hinder us in this city."
Yen spoke as Ronan thought about it.
When they said being handsome was a crime, this was what they were talking about.
You would be chased everywhere you went.
Tsk...
A little ghoul’s face was enough to take down those future female goddesses.
Ronan thought as he clenched his fist.
"Erm... no, don’t do that."
Suddenly, a soft female voice was heard.
The three looked down at Ronan’s chest, only to see a small figure resting on it.
"Fuck!"
Ronan was frightened as Hesa and Yen jumped up, taking battle stances.
They were vampires, plus Sovereign Realm beings.
In natural darkness, they could see clearly, not to mention Hesa, who could even use echolocation to "see" her surroundings.
Yet they had never seen this girl.
Ronan remembered when he felt someone had touched his chest.
At first, he had thought it was Yen, but looking at the small girl, he now realized it had been her.
He was frightened.
How had he not noticed her?
He had definitely looked and hadn’t seen her.
Could she be a ghost?
Click!
The shop light suddenly came on as Yen and Hesa exchanged glances, ready to use their abilities and escape.
Not being able to sense the girl already made the two uneasy.
They knew this girl wasn’t ordinary.
"Sorry about her."
Just then, an aged man spoke as he grabbed the girl and placed her on the ground, revealing her full height.
She was 1.6 meters tall, about the same height as Yen.
She had curly brown hair and beautiful dark-blue eyes.
She wore an excited smile on her face, and her eyes refused to leave Ronan.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Meanwhile, Ronan was freaking out.
He wasn’t the only one.
Yen and Hesa were too.
Their legs trembled as they couldn’t bring themselves to attack.
Just like the girl, they hadn’t realized how the man had appeared in their midst.
"Come on, set the table for our customers."
The old man spoke with a kind smile.
The girl snorted before leaving.
Seeing her leave, the atmosphere became tense.
"What would you like to have?"
The man asked calmly as the three gulped.
"Old man... who are you?"
Hesa asked cautiously as the old man spoke.
"If you aren’t here for the food, I will assume you are an intruder."
Drip!
Ah...
Everyone froze as they felt a terrifying aura press down on them.
It was only for a moment, yet they saw the stars being split apart, the moon being captured, and an entire world being destroyed by a giant palm.
By the time they took their next breath, their faces were filled with fright.
"Two hybrid vampires... A Ghoul Lord-vampire hybrid. Interesting."
The man continued.
"Well, are you intruders?"
The old man asked.
"Cause if you are, I just have to call the guards. You just can’t rob a poor old man like me."
The old man narrowed his eyes, even his body trembling slightly.
Shameless.
All three of them thought at once.
Who would believe this man?
How terrifying was he?
Just what they had seen had almost made their limbs go numb.
This man was strong and not even by a tiny bit. They didn’t know how strong he was or what realm he was in.
Even Ronan was afraid to use the system to check.
He was several times stronger than the Duke’s aura and the elders’ aura back then.
In fact, that was an understatement.
The Duke’s Supreme Realm aura was like dust compared to a star.
That was how terrifying this man was.
"We are... customers."
Ronan said, his face twitching.
"Ah, good. I will give you our special menu, then."
The old man laughed as the girl from earlier returned.
"Please sit at a table."
She spoke as Yen and Hesa gulped.
They helped Ronan up, and the three picked a table while the old man calmly walked toward the kitchen.
Soon, the small shop began running normally.
Yen, Hesa, and Ronan looked at each other.
They knew that today, they had met someone far above them.
They couldn’t help but question which continent they were in.
Was everyone as strong as this old man?
Worse, he could actually tell that they were undead, yet he didn’t care.
He only asked if they were customers.
This wasn’t good at all.
They had just jumped from the frying pan into the damn fire.
But soon, a delicious scent wafted toward their noses.
They felt their stomachs rumble, and for a moment, they forgot everything as they looked toward the back, where the smell was coming from.
As it turned out, the old man had started cooking.
But Ronan was shocked by one thing.
Yen and Hesa were half-human, so he could understand why their stomachs were grumbling.
But what about him?
He was a ghoul.
Why was he hungry too?
Who the fuck was this old man and what was he preparing?
