Chapter 194: 69. True unity must be built on blood, either his or yours! [9/60] _3

Yet you have ignored the world’s own malice towards vampires, only when we stick together can we survive in the darkness!

The family represents such a survival concept.

But you were wrong, Murphy.

I did not regard you and those pitiful people from the survivor’s camp as sacrifices. My real intent to go to Blood Eagle Corridor was to clarify my origin...

I know you have been guessing, so I might as well tell you!

I... am not a vampire!

At least not an ordinary vampire!

I cannot initiate a relationship with Lady Adel and can only ask for your help. I suppose you must have noticed this with your thought process. You were just pretending to be ignorant, like a cunning man, waiting for this moment to cast blame on me and rebuke me righteously for my dishonesty.

But, haven’t you been keeping secrets from me too?

I do not believe that a marginal figure of the family for more than a year could transform into something else within a few days. You have secrets too! Moreover, your secrets are much deeper than mine.

In your words, cleanse your own suspicion before shaming me!

But I don’t care about these. Those of us who are Children of Midnight should not venture to pry into others’ secrets if they do not wish to share, crossing that line means to spread malice, it signals war.

I’ll tell you the truth!

I just want to know the truth right now!

Only my father knows that truth, perhaps your elder Cui Si knows too, but the Scarlet Witch doesn’t intend to speak, she is torturing me!

She clearly knows how to inflict more pain on me, like an outstanding "Blood Inquisitor", knowing just how to torment her victims.

Yet, I do not even know why that cruel woman you love so dearly hates me so much?

We’ve hardly ever met.

As for the tragedy in the Blood Eagle Corridor, I admit I saw some of it, but that is not what you need to worry about!

You cannot solve it either.

I was not here idling away these past few days.

Through the heirloom of the Blood Vulture Clan’s heir, I have made difficult contact with the Blood Covenant Knight Order. The Blood Knights under Lord Pa Ying are already on their way to Transylvania.

I assure you, Murphy!"

The young lady took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"The horrors in the Blood Eagle Corridor are not your concern. I will take care of them. This place will also be your territory. I promised you, and no one will take it away.

But now Jed is our shared problem!

He was never supposed to escape!

I saw with my own eyes how my father’s loyal servants drained their own blood. I don’t know what my father was doing, but he used the fragment of desire to block the secret door of the Blood Eagle Corridor.

Since they escaped, it means they stole the testament of Duke from my father. They chose to betray our Clan.

I don’t want to know why, but they have to die!

That’s the rule. It’s not to be violated."

She glanced at Murphy’s Daylight Potion at the corner of the table and said:

"He made an offer to you, right? Did you come here hoping that I would also make you an offer?"

"No."

Murphy drew the Blade of Yi from around his waist and thrust it into the ground with a thud.

The swift sword’s basket hilt vibrated at high speed and hummed. Murphy moved his neck a bit, his eyes glowed a touch of mahogany in the darkness.

He said:

"It’s just like a plot option...

If I must choose between you and Jed for a collaborator, I must be a bit more cautious. I need to know who is trustworthy! I’ll be upfront with you, I already have a plan and I’ve put it into action.

I’m pondering whether or not to continue cooperating with either of you two sides harboring ulterior motives.

Or should I simply seize this opportunity and get rid of you two who are obviously no good?"

"Hmm?"

The young lady looked at Murphy.

She suspected whether the intense pressure had driven him mad. Where did this fledgling vampire, who had not yet passed the Black Iron Trial, get such an audacity? Even with the help of Cui Si, it’s impossible... wait a sec!

The young lady had a revelation, she instantaneously thought of a crazy possibility.

Her eyes popped in disbelief, and she shouted:

"You want to cooperate with the witch-hunters? Murphy, have you gone mad!"

"I didn’t just start cooperating with them, you who lived through that night in the Smugglers’ Forest should know this better than anyone else!

Aren’t I just the ’freak’ you always talk about? It shouldn’t surprise such a ’noble bloodline’ as yours if an unwelcome freak like me does something crazy, right?"

Murphy flashed a playful yet cold smirk in the darkness.

Pointing at the sword that he had thrust into the ground, Murphy spoke to Phemys, who had her spiritual energy saber unsheathed and was stepping back:

"Either you stake your entire honor and join me in working with the witch-hunters to take care of Jed and his gang, let us both stain our hands with the blood of our kind and become ’traitors’ in the eyes of others, thus forming a despicable alliance built on mutual trust!

Or, I will have to use your noble blood to accomplish my Black Iron Trial here, and use your tragic death as bait to lure Jed and his gang to where they belong.

You’re right.

That arrogant fool indeed should not have shown up at this moment. He even thought of tempting me with his clumsy words and invited himself uninvitedly into this game.

He really has no sense!

Just like a certain insincere and foolish young lady who hasn’t realized her true situation, even till now she still can’t figure out who is the real leader?

Truly blind..."

"You are being too presumptuous."

Phemys gritted her teeth and responded:

"You, a mere professional, dared to..."

Her words trailed off abruptly.

For she saw the figure of Lady Adel slowly emerging from the darkness behind Murphy. She held a thorny sword in her left hand and a scarlet handgun in her right, standing in an accurate position to seal off all exit routes.

Lady Adel was trembling all over.

She was resisting from the bottom of her heart the thing she was about to do.

But how could a Blood Descendant refuse an order from an elder?

Murphy pulled out a chair, lounged in it, even leaned up with a foot on an empty chair.

Staring at the silent young lady before him, he spread out his hands and said:

"Phemys Cicilia Leisenbra, recognize your situation! Time is elapsing like a precious life. Now, make your choice!

I’m running out of patience."
