Inside a meeting room, everyone's faces were gloomy. Especially Rubert, when he saw the martial artists from his family die a dog's death. They could not even hold on for a moment against her punches and kicks.
But there was one more thing that made him shocked and angry.
"They are vampires."
As soon as those words fell everyone showed various expressions. Fear, shock, anger, disgust.
Rubert on the other hand couldn't comprehend why would the vampires attack him like this. Although there's always friction between the two races. There are very few cases of direct confrontation.
Humans hunt vampires for resources and so do they hunt humans for blood.
But this raid didn't seem something as simple as that. There must be something else going on. But whatever it may be, the situation is already grave. So there's no hope for reconciliation.
"Mr. Rubert, what should we do?" An old man asked with a wry expression on his face. He had been with the Hyunja group since his golden years. He is very familiar with the secrets of the Hyunja clan. So he knows the power that vampires have is very fearsome.
Everyone was panicked because they can see their death coming their way. The fear and powerlessness made them even more miserable.
With everyone second passing their heartbeats, were even more, louder than before. The horrifying fear made their scalps numb.
The Vampire on the screen was making it even more difficult for them, with the speed she was moving.
"Is there no way out, Mr. Rubert?"
"You should have someone special means right?"
"Please tell me you can take care of it."
Hearing the pleads and seeing their hopeful expression. Rubert's heart ached. It was not that he didn't want to use any special means. It's just there is no time to prepare.
So his next words poured cold water into their last remaining hope.
"From the way she crushed those 50 martial artists, she is at the very least a 'Vampire Princess' rank vampire..." With a pause, Rubert continued."...and I don't need to say about her subordinates. They must also be vampires. All the awakeneds were dealt with by her. We are no match for her." The old man slumped on his back with a grieving expression on his face. "It's our end."
But before anyone could react to his words. The door was kicked open and a beautiful but dangerous woman entered the hall making the atmosphere chilly sending shivers to the back of already scared people.
Dan was the first to react as he shouted. "WHY THE HELL ARE YOU DOING THIS?" Though he was scared. He was never someone who would back down in the face of the enemy. Although he knew he was no match for her after he saw her fight. He was still ready to fight her until his last breath.
But the main reason for his outburst which overcame his fear was anger. He never knew who the person in front of him was, but they are here to eradicate his whole family how could he accept it?
Before he could ask any more questions he was already tied by the blood which took the shape of a rope. Even his energy control was of no use.
"We didn't do anything to you. We don't even know you. But you killed everyone, why?" Rubert asked while clenching his fists tightly as blood seeped through them. The anger in his words could be felt clearly. He was barely holding himself from rushing to attack her.
So he asked the questions which he couldn't figure out. After all, he knew there was no way out for them. So he could at least know the reason for this massacre. He never believed it was because of the human-vampire conflict.
"..."
But the woman had no intention of answering his questions as she ignored him and started making a call in front of them as if they are insignificant to her.
Veins popped up on Rubert's head. But Aurora didn't let him move and directly used her blood control to bind him. More specifically the blood that was dropping from his hand when he clenched his fists.
[Yes, My lady.]
"Emily, leave Niles to search for any reaming enemies in the facility and commanding the group. You come here."
[Yes, My lady.]
*Click*
With a simple answer, the call was hung up. In a minute, Emily was already standing in front of her.
"My lady."
Aurora nodded at her and said plainly. "It seems their first battle was a good experience."
Emily nodded and replied. "Yes, My lady. There are no casualties on our side."
When Emily said this, the pupils of everyone present except Aurora shrank involuntarily. Just what kind of enemies attacked them? In a single night, they finished the entire foundation of years of their hard work. Yet they still don't know the cause.
"Okay, now that's out of the way. Let's deal with them." Aurora said as her gaze swept across everyone in the room sending chills.
Emily nodded in affirmation.
"You wanted to know why I am doing this right?" Aurora smiled politely while asking Rubert. He didn't but her act of acting as a proper lady. Just nodded slightly.
"It's because of your big brother. Do you remember what happened 12 years ago?" When Aurora mentioned this Rubert's pupils shrank in realization. But he had no way to speak as his mouth was also plugged by blood.
"Yes yes, the attack in which you supported Valor." Aurora continued as if sensing what the other party wanted to say.
How could Rubert not remember? Because his genius older brother died on that mission and he, the weak one, had to take the responsibility for the clan. Because he was weak, many powerful martial artists left the clan not wanting to follow someone weaker than them. Because of this reason, the Hyunja clan also became very weak in recent years.
Now the ghost of his brother's past came back to haunt them.
Seeing his expression, Aurora didn't show any change in emotion. She slowly walked and stood in front of him. Then in a very melodic voice, she uttered her next words with a terrifying amount of killing intent surging out of her.
"The people you hunted were my parents."
After that many screams of agony and pain echoed from inside the meeting hall. It was already past 3:00 a.m. when the hall returned to silence. Aurora and her group left quietly under the darkness of the night.
In the Hyunja group where more than a thousand people were present a few hours ago. Now not a single life could be sensed anywhere. Nothing just the smell of blood.
