When they heard that Archangel Yanar had appeared, the vampires felt a mix of fear and relief.
Elder Archibald sighed deeply, “It’s such a shame. The Divine Decree and the Codex are the most valuable treasures.”
“Let’s not dwell on it. We’ll come back another day to retrieve these treasures,” said Leo, who was easygoing and didn’t want to think about the decree and codex anymore.
Prince Devon quickly added, “Master, we can take all the treasures with us right now.”
“Oh, really? How do you plan to do that?” Leo asked curiously.
Prince Devon, slightly proud, explained, “The dukes and I have a special skill. We can create an extradimensional space to store objects.”
“In that case, what are we waiting for? Take everything here with us. Don’t leave a single thing behind,” Leo said, almost venting his frustration.
“Yes, Master!” Prince Devon bowed respectfully.
Under Leo’s watchful eye, within ten minutes, the treasures vanished into a blood-red light created by the combined efforts of the vampires.
As the night slowly gave way to dawn, a sliver of light appeared on the horizon.
By the time the sun peeked over the horizon, Leo and the vampires had already returned to their hotel.
In Leo’s room, Deanna was still in a deep sleep.
Leo placed a diamond the size of a pigeon egg into Deanna’s hand and whispered softly, “Beautiful girl, good luck and goodbye.”
After breakfast, Leo slung his bag over his shoulder and left Petra.
Originally, Leo planned to return home directly, but Prince Devon told him some things that made him decide to visit the headquarters of House Lessane to avoid future troubles.
House Lessane’s headquarters was in Salisbury, Albion.
When Leo saw the so-called headquarters villa of House Lessane, he was taken aback.
Prince Devon guessed what Leo was thinking from his expression and explained, “Master, this small villa above ground is just a cover. The real headquarters of House Lessane is underground.”
“Lead the way,” Leo nodded.
Entering the villa’s living room, Devon muttered something under his breath. With a wave of his right hand, an oval-shaped black hole-like “door” appeared.
“Master, this is the Dark Gate leading to the underground city. Please enter,” Devon said respectfully, gesturing with his hand.
Leo raised an eyebrow and strode through it.
After passing through the Dark Gate, they found themselves in a wide stone-paved corridor.
The corridor was dimly lit, clearly designed for vampires who disliked bright light.
After walking through the corridor, they emerged into a large underground hall with slightly brighter lighting.
The hall was decorated in a luxurious classical European style.
In the center of the hall was a long oval table filled with delicious Atrarian dishes that smelled wonderful even from a distance.
Standing on either side of the table were some young low-ranking vampires.
Seeing Leo enter, all these low-ranking vampires bowed in greeting.
It was clear that Prince Devon had already informed everyone at House Lessane about Leo’s identity before they arrived.
Duke Ashburn quickly walked to the table and pulled out a luxurious leather chair at the head of the table, saying respectfully, “Master, please sit.”
Leo stepped forward and sat down. Looking at the various Atrarian dishes in front of him, he couldn’t help but feel his appetite being whetted.
“Where did you get these Atrarian dishes?” Leo asked curiously.
Prince Devon, who had just sat down, quickly replied, “Master, before we came here, I hired famous Atrarian chefs at great expense to prepare these dishes and have them delivered.”
Leo was very pleased with Prince Devon’s thoughtfulness and attentiveness. “Prince Devon, you have been very considerate.”
“It’s my honor to satisfy you, Master,” Prince Devon replied humbly.
Leo picked up chopsticks from the table and signaled, “Let’s eat.”
The dukes picked up their chopsticks awkwardly and started picking food into their bowls.
For those used to using forks, using chopsticks was indeed uncomfortable. But to accommodate Leo, using chopsticks was necessary.
After tasting a few dishes, Leo looked at Devon and asked, “Prince Devon, how are the preparations for the vampire banquet you mentioned?”
Hearing this, all the vampires turned their attention to Prince Devon.
Prince Devon put down his chopsticks and replied, “The preparations are almost complete. The banquet will be held tomorrow night at The Covenant House Brujah’s headquarters.”
“Additionally, according to the latest information, representatives of The Thirteen Clans of vampires have all arrived in Albion.”
Leo nodded thoughtfully and then asked, “How can I conveniently enter the vampire banquet tomorrow night?”
Prince Devon thought for a moment and said, “It will be somewhat challenging. Vampires are very sensitive to non-vampires. Master, you’ll need to disguise yourself and hide your human scent.”
“Disguising isn’t a problem for me. I’m just concerned about whether the dark races will accept a human leader if things go south,” Leo said.
Prince Devon confidently replied, “Master, you need not worry. In the world of dark races, strength is respected above all.”
“Firstly, you have no deep-seated enmity with dark races. Secondly, if you can lead them to defeat Ecclesia, they will surely submit to you.”
“Even if there are a few obstacles, they won’t affect the overall situation.”
“In that case, I’ll completely subdue the dark races tomorrow night!” Leo said with a confident smile.
After dinner, Leo gathered information about various dark race factions and the current situation with Ecclesia as preparation for his actions tomorrow night.
Once he finished his research, Leo devoted himself to training.
In a world where strength is respected, personal power is fundamental for survival.
Time: The next night.
Location: Black Mist Forest.
Three black Mercedes cars drove into Black Mist Forest.
Sitting in the first car, Leo looked out at his surroundings through the window.
The forest was shrouded in mist-black mist so dense that even car headlights couldn’t penetrate more than three meters ahead. The atmosphere was eerie and terrifying.
This ghostly place would be perfect for shooting horror movies.
In such a deathly silent place, even with good soundproofing in the car, one could still hear the crunching of dry branches and leaves under the tires.
One had to admit that vampires knew how to pick their locations. This creepy place would deter most people from coming here.
As these thoughts ran through his mind, the car drove out of Black Mist Forest.
