He knew what the president’s ulterior motives were. When the time came, maybe the president would want to kill him without any hesitation. Thus, he needed to take action to avoid a tragic end.
After he succeeds, Archie decided that he would kill all of the vampires and then keep the Wild Rose Queen confined.
“Just because you say you have information, you think we’ll believe you? What a joke. What if you’re here to a.s.sa.s.sinate my Master?” Standing in front of him with caution, RuiEn looked at him as if he was still an idiot.
Archie held in his anger. This person really didn’t know how to appreciate kindness. When the time comes, he’ll make sure to kill him first.
Larkin also didn’t like the looks of the newcomer who seemed to be telling half-truths. Most importantly, vampires had a strong sense of scent. This person’s scent was mixed with a thick smell of blood. All these signs made him conclude that this couldn’t be good news. His guard instantly went up.
“I really do have things to tell the Wild Rose Queen. Holding me here will only be wasting your time.” Archie cursed them in his heart but managed to hold back his temper.
His strength was pretty high, but his chances of victory against these two vampire viscounts were low. Most importantly, he couldn’t act right now. He couldn’t risk letting anything affecting collaboration talks.
No matter what, he needed to first get that collaboration confirmed. He’ll take care of these nuisances later.
Archie had a plan all organized but he didn’t realize that as he eyed his prey, there was another predator glowering at him.
“Alright, since you say you have important information, then tell us. I’ll communicate the news to Her Highness.” Larkin stepped forward and used a relatively friendly tone to speak.
“Who are you, you guys are only underlings! Your master hasn’t even spoken so what authority do you have?” Archie was angry. Just because he was compromising doesn’t meant he was afraid!
Even if he didn’t have enough strength himself, he’ll still be victorious if he used his weapons.
RuiEn and Larkin were also angry now. The three were on the verge of a fight.
XunMi felt that she had watched enough. She lightly waved her hand. Loose wild roses were carried up by a gust of wind, emitting a mild and sweet fragrance that alleviated the strained air.
“A friend from far away! I am very eager to hear the news you have brought us.” Leaning on the railing, XunMi played with a splendid red rose in her hand. She looked down at the man in black below her.
Qian YuYou stood behind XunMi. Due to the angle, he was able to keep the people outside from seeing his presence.
“This person has a strange odor.” This was the conclusion that Qian YuYou had made immediately on discovering this outsider. Within the smell of blood was also the addition of darkness. It was like a feeling of death, yet he could still smell the scent of human on him.
XunMi also sensed the muddy odor, a thoughtful expression forming on her face.
Archie turned his head after hearing her voice. Although he had seen pictures of her face before, it still had a striking power.
The rustling flowers in the wind obediently came to a halt at the balcony.
He saw that person stand carefreely in the middle of a sea of red, her silver white hair fluttering in the wind. The crescent moon’s light fondly lingered on her figure, as if she was an snowflower emerging in the middle of August’s sun. Hot and cold came together so harmoniously.
Archie gazed at XunMi in infatuation, a fervent fire burning in his eyes. This rarity must be his. Even though his gaze wasn’t obviously due to his veil, the others were still able to catch his excessive staring.
XunMi tapped her fingers, her light voice inaudibly murmuring an incantation.
“Ah! So painful!” In an instant, Archie’s attention had shifted from XunMi to the pain bursting through him.
He clutched his eyes as his body rocked back and forth trying to ease the stinging pain from his eyes.
XunMi coldly scoffed. Seeing that it was enough, she uttered: “Disperse.”
The person crying in pain on the floor immediately quieted down. Archie had cold sweat all over his body. He knew that he had overestimated. The Wild Rose Queen’s strength was more unfathomable than the collected information concluded. So he needed to endure.
“I apologize, I was behaving rudely. Wild Rose Queen, I came to inform you of important news.”
“Alright, please speak,” XunMi firmly responded. She definitely wouldn’t respond in the same way that the original book had written. Since this dude took the initiative to deliver information to her, she wouldn’t be modest.
Archie was also surprised by XunMi’s reaction, leading him to briefly not know how to respond.
“Now you’ve seen my Master. If you have information, you should say it now. Unless you’re a liar…” RuiEn ridiculed.
“Move aside, I am speaking with you Master.” If not because he wanted to maintain a good image in front of the Wild Rose Queen, Archie would have already cursed him out.
XunMi was unhappy. RuiEn was her person yet he was still being shamed by others. That was indirectly a slap in the face to her as the Master. She couldn’t let it go.
“Wild Rose Queen, the president of the hunters’ guild has a vampire Master. The female hunter that you had previously injured was actually a vampire, as well as the true person in control of the hunters’ guild.” Archie’s tone and manner underwent a 180 change as he respectfully speaking his half-truth and half-lies.
“How can I believe your words. Where did you gain such information?” XunMi spun the stem of the rose. Her gaze was fixated on the flower, not giving an ounce of attention to the person below her. In her heart, she was weighing the amount of truth in his information.
“You will know who I am later. As for the information, it is definitely true. If you don’t believe me, you can have someone go investigate at the headquarters of the hunters’ guild.” He was betting on the fact that the Wild Rose Queen wouldn’t let go of any useful information.
Indeed, XunMi wouldn’t let go of this information. But an unexpected person was by her side.
“Bind.” XunMi didn’t spend time with superfluous words. With a sudden incantation, she caught Archie completely off guard. Looking at wiggling person bounded and lying on the floor howling, she only shook her head.
“RuiEn, I’ll hand this over to you. Just don’t kill him.” She was a protective person. Those that bully her people must prepare to be bullied back tenfold.
As she walked away, a powerful hand wrapped around her waist. She leaned back, placing the majority of her weight onto his body. “I think the hunters’ guild and vampire clan’s rupture in relations isn’t a simple matter. I could be that someone had instigated disharmony. Perhaps it was premeditated, due to a certain person or thing.”
XunMi spoke her guesses. She thought it was more likely to be due to a specific thing.
“That year, they weren’t able to gain the object so now they are making a second attempt.”
