Chapter 161: 128 Awkward Fishing Willing to Hook (4250)_2 Chapter 161: 128 Awkward Fishing Willing to Hook (4250)_2 His struggles momentarily ceased, daring not to move.

“Very well, seems like you know when to relent.” Casio spoke, taking out a letter from his chest and using it to slap the face of the creature of the Blood Clan. “This letter is likely written in a language of your dark kind. Translate it immediately.”

The creature glanced at the lifeless body of its captain on the ground, then at Casio’s robust body. It swallowed hard and nodded.

Thirty seconds later.

“What? You’re saying this letter is not written in the specialized language of the Blood Clan or any dark creatures. It’s in human language, specifically the common language of the Hong Li Federation?”

Casio’s expression was one of disbelief as he pointed at the letter.

“Um… May… Maybe the handwriting is just sloppy…”

Looking at Casio fearfully, the creature swallowed hard again.

“You better not be lying to me! Otherwise…” Casio squinted, his right hand suddenly shot out, smashing the left wall with a terrifying fury reminiscent of a monstrous black python. Dust and debris flew everywhere from the large hole created in the wall.

Each piece of the shattered material that hit the creature’s face stung badly.

“That’s what you’ll get!”

On the other side, the creature holding the letter suddenly started shaking its head like a sieve, “Don’t dare, wouldn’t dare deceive you, sir…”

Casio gave a slight nod.

“Very well, so what is in the letter?”

The creature gave a small cough, then began to read slowly.

“Oh! My lovely Lady Felini, the rest of my letter goes on to describe you as the beautiful moon in the sky, as the stars that decorate, flatter, and illuminate.”

“The crops have been harvested on the fertile land, the playful brooks have turned cold, the lush woods are cloaked in a veil of white.”

“I still remember the last sweet encounter we had. Whether it was on the glistening lake in the small boat, or in the shade of a fragrant Bodhi tree, or in a small smoky house with a roaring fireplace. Every moment, every place has left traces of our love. How I yearn to be with you once again to play….”

“…”

“Lastly, Lady Felini, please keep this letter safe. Do not let your husband, Viscount Isis, see it! Otherwise, he will come to kill me, no matter the distance he has to cover!”

The creature stopped reading and looked up at Casio.

Casio raised an eyebrow: “Anything else?”

The creature shook its head: “No.”

“Isn’t there any secret message in it? Maybe some coded words or phrases?”

“Probably… Not, this is just a love letter… Lord Franz seemed to be interested in Lady Felini five years ago.”

“This is truly just a love letter?!” Casio questioned.

“Yes.” The creature gently nodded.

Suddenly.

“Crack!”

The creature’s head was torn off, it couldn’t nod anymore.

“Waste of my time!”

Casio’s right hand instantly pierced through the creature’s chest like a javelin, behind it exploded a splash of red onto the wall.

Be it human or ghost, anyone who witnessed this mocking display.

Must die!

Fifteen minutes later, the Crossbow Torrent achieved the final victory.

They annihilated this Vampire family, and their own casualties were far fewer than expected. Only three Eerie Night Guests died in the battle, and four others received various injuries. This was already considered a very low casualty rate.

Normally, the Eerie Night Guests outnumber the Blood Clan by only half. If they barely achieved victory in the end, at least half of them, if not more, would have fallen.

The current situation was indeed a rare victory.

In the middle of the manor, the remaining Eerie Night Guests began to carry the corpses of the Blood Clan. These were the indicators of mission completion, they needed to remove the hearts as proof of the task.

“1, 2, 3… 6, only six?”

Counting one by one, Black Blade frowned.

“Where are the other two? And the strongest one, Franz?”

A shade of melancholy came over his face. If they were missing the most important target, the reward would be severely reduced.

“They’re here.”

Suddenly, a deep voice came from the darkness not too far away. Next, two corpses were thrown over.

Thump! Thump!

Everyone looked down and saw a vampire dressed in old aristocratic clothes. His body was distorted and bloody, his head was smashed flat, and his chest was pierced by a dozen large steel arrows.

The other one was also from the Blood Clan, with a large hole in its chest and its head twisted off. Fortunately, there still seemed to be some heart tissue in the hole, barely enough to pass muster.

Thump, thump, thump…

A series of deep footsteps approached.

Everyone turned to look and saw a tall figure in a cloak, holding a blood-stained mechanical crossbow. The slightly reflective sharp edge strangely seemed savage.

************************

Five days later.

Anta Mountains.

On a seldom-travelled mountain path.

As usual, Casio appeared here in a cloak, carrying a hand suitcase. He rang the bell to summon the horse carriage.

In no time at all.

Casio found himself back in the world of rain, with the black carriage racing along the road, heading towards the Black Rain Villa.

Inside the spacious carriage, he looked up at the upper right corner. The ring logo next to the time bar was strikingly visible.

There were about fifty days left in the retrospective time.
