Chapter 281: Chapter 55: Harsh Punishments Force a Palace Crisis, Ancestral Aura (5K Monthly Pass)_2

The Baron did not answer the question but coldly looked at Xu Shu, "My name is Joel Kessler, Baron of the Blood Clan! Human, today I admit defeat. I acknowledge you are not an ant, you are a strong warrior. Please grant me the dignity of a strong warrior...

"Kill me."

Having said that, Baron Joel closed his eyes.

Fisilia, who was beside him, also closed her eyes upon seeing this, "Go ahead and kill us! We won’t answer any of your questions."

"Want to die? It’s not that easy. Not talking, huh?"

Xu Shu sneered coldly.

The room had one advantage — it faced the sunrise.

He pulled the curtains shut, leaving a gap about 50 centimeters wide in the middle.

Then, he tied up both the Baron and the maid with a safety rope, positioning them on either side of the "8"-shaped crack left by the window, tied ingeniously, through the top beam, separated left and right — the Baron — "8" — the maid.

At the same time, Xu pulled open a corner of the curtain on the Baron’s left side, turning the "8" into """ hanging on the wall beside the maid, blocking him off again.

The series of movements confused the two vampires, who had no idea what he was planning.

But they assumed it must be some kind of harsh interrogation technique.

Therefore, the master and servant vampires looked at each other, both firmly resolved.

For the glory of the Blood Clan, no matter what bloody and brutal methods this human male resorted to, they would never submit, never reveal a single word — even now, they still didn’t know what this human actually wanted to ask.

But it must be news detrimental to the Blood Clan.

After all, he had mentioned from the start, "I want to extract some information."

Dirty Human Clan, merely existing to be the food of our noble Blood Clan, wretched things.

This person must be the most cunning and despicable among humans.

But no matter what, do not underestimate our Blood Clan’s faith!

"Today, the glory of the Blood Clan shall be protected by me, Joel Kessler!" The Baron proudly raised his head.

This standoff lasted several hours.

Time ticked away.

Soon, the crow of a rooster from someone’s backyard behind the hotel rang out.

After crowing for a while, a sliver of dawn appeared in the east.

Dawn had arrived, and the morning sun slowly rose. The first ray of sunshine, rising from the end of the earth, swept away all darkness, shining right on the window facing east in the room.

Of course, with the curtains drawn, the sunlight wasn’t shining directly in, and couldn’t harm the vampires yet.

But instinctive fear of the sun had already caused them to squint slightly.

Baron Joel looked at Xu Shu with indifference, "You want to use the sunlight to threaten and kill me? Heh, then please make it quick."

He was resigned to his fate, ready for death.

However, he only heard Xu Shu’s sinister laugh:

"It’d be too easy to just kill you like this. You haven’t seen what the true journey is... Activate."

"???"

Activate what?

Baron Joel ceased his thoughts.

He vaguely heard two words but couldn’t distinguish them, as if the human had muddled their pronunciation.

——

[As the sun rises and all things revive, welcome back to the Tai Chu Scroll, great master!]

[Current status is being detected...]

[Detection complete.]

[Your situation is quite peculiar, you have captured a Baron and his servant, poor Baron, poor maid, they merely enjoyed eating a person raw, survival of the fittest, what wrong have they done to be treated like this?]

[You plan to extract something from their mouths, but clearly, they are unwilling to cooperate.]

["Kill me!" Maid Fisilia says to you.]

["Kill me!" Baron Joel says the same.]

[Ah, what a dilemma, as nearly immortal beings of the Blood Clan, their mouths seem quite tight.]

[Whether it’s cleaving with a sword, burning with fire, driving nails under fingernails, or riding the wooden donkey, none of these are anything, after all, you have shattered them into countless pieces numerous times, as members of the Blood Clan, they value their honor more than their own lives.]

[Give it up, grant them a swift end, and you will obtain a level 16 blue Erosion Crystal (Maid), a level 17 purple Erosion Crystal (Baron).]

...

The level is so high?!

At that moment, even Xu Shu was stunned.

Based on the Baron’s combat performance, he thought the opponent could at most be a Blue Name Monster.

But unexpectedly, it turned out to be a noble purple.

Indeed, "combat power" isn’t simply determined by the quality of one’s Curse Seal or Erosion Crystal.

[The sun has risen, you can choose to show them the power of sunlight, and all you need to do is to open the curtain hanging on the wall, do you choose:?]

[You have taken down the right side of the """ curtain, good, it seems you have made your judgment. Just by turning this """ into "8", the intense sunlight will shine directly on this high-end member of the Blood Clan, turning him into a stepping stone on your path of growth.]

[You say, "Come now, little maid, bite down on this curtain, if you don’t want your Baron to become a charcoal-grilled bat, better not let go."]

[?]

[You pull the curtain over for Fisilia to bite. In doing so, the moment she lets go, the curtain will naturally change from """ to "8", she herself will be in a spot untouched by the sun, but the Baron will be reduced to ashes.]

["Heh, so it’s this kind of trick, human, you underestimate me too much. Fisilia, let go. I shall return to the embrace of the ancestor." Baron Joel was ready for death.]

[Fisilia, moved by the sight, had her eyes filled with passion, obviously swayed. However, you pat the maid’s cheek, "Think carefully, if you let go, he dies, but you’re not dead yet."]
