Chapter 27 - Manstein's Final

Chapter 27 Manstein’s Final

Repayment

Leon’s death stopped the ongoing ball abruptly.

After countless nobles received this news, they scrambled to leave the ball, afraid that they would be misunderstood and become murderers.

The ball finally ended, and not long after, the news of Leon’s death spread.

A middle-aged man’s furious roar suddenly sounded from a vampire noble’s castle hundreds of kilometers away.

This man’s name was Jed and he was Leon’s father. They also belonged to the Jeston family.

Leon’s full name was actually Leon Jeston.

Although Leon and Jed did not obtain the status of royalty because of their meager royal bloodline, the elders of the family were true members of the royal family.

It was also because of this background that Leon dared to do evil everywhere as an ordinary count!

Coupled with his excellent talent, it was very likely for him to officially become a member of

the royal family in the future!

No one expected this rising family star to suddenly die.

Every royal noble of the vampires had a family ancestral hall.

Every direct descendant would obtain a memorial tablet in this family ancestral hall. Although Leon was a distant descendant, he had already made an exception and obtained a position that belonged to him.

On every memorial tablet was a Jed token that represented every living family member.

These Jed tokens had already been deeply bound to the life of the owner and had completed the bloodline connection.

Once the owner died, these Jed tokens enshrined in the family ancestral hall would completely shatter, representing their death. Not long ago, Jed suddenly learned that his precious son’s Jed token had actually shattered! There had never been any mistakes with this kind of Jed token in the history of the vampires, so there was no doubt that Leon was already dead.

The furious Jed rushed over after hearing the news and lost her temper in the castle.

“Who is it? Who exactly harmed my son?!

“Leon, I will definitely avenge you. Capture the murderer who killed you and let him suffer a

fate worse than death forever!

“I’ll make him regret being born in this world!”

In order to avenge his son as soon as possible, Jed arrived at the place where his ancestor usually cultivated in seclusion with anger.

For a royal family like the Jeston family, there was always a strongest ancestor with the

highest seniority.

Moreover, now, every branch of the royal

family only had one ancestor.

These people were the stabilizing force of the

family. As long as the ancestor was still

around, no one could shake the status of these

families in the vampire race!

Jed knelt at the entrance of the ancestor and said with tears in his eyes.

“Ancestor, your grandson has been killed!

“He’s my only son. You usually dote on him the most, but now, he’s dead.

“I implore you to come out of seclusion and avenge my son and capture the murderer!” With a loud bang, the door exploded, and a figure with three huge wings appeared in front of Jed.

“Jed, what did you say? My grandson was

killed?”

“Who was it? Who was so heartless to kill him?! Why did my good grandson suffer such bad

luck?!

“Jed, don’t worry. I watched Leon grow up. He’s the best young man I’ve ever seen. “He was supposed to inherit the glory of our Jeston family. I definitely won’t sit back and do

nothing about this.

“Send someone to investigate this matter immediately. Report to me immediately if there

are any clues. I’ll personally go and capture the murderer!

“I’ll make the murderer pay a thousand times

the price to repay this blood debt!”

Hearing the ancestor’s words, Jed was overjoyed.

“Ancestor is wise!”

At the same time, Fang Ping had already

returned to the city and returned to his house.

As soon as he opened the door, Fang Ping saw a letter on the floor at the door. Who had put the letter in? Moreover, it was when he had not returned.

Curious, Fang Ping opened the envelope and

was instantly stunned when he saw the name.

This letter was actually written to him by Manstein?

However, he was already dead now. In other

words, Manstein had long expected his

outcome.

Perhaps he had found an opportunity to leave

this letter here in advance before attending the ball with Fang Ping!

Fang Ping had once given Manstein the key to

his house and told him that if he was hunted

and had nowhere to go, he could come to his place to temporarily hide.

Then, it could be explained why this letter appeared in his house.

Fang Ping did not even have the time to change

out of his blood-scented cloak. He directly sat at the door and began to read the contents of

the letter.

The more he looked, the more shocked he

became. He finally understood why the investment system had asked him to save Manstein’s life again and again.

Even though Manstein was about to die, the

investment system still determined that it had purple investment potential!

This letter was the answer to all of this!

“Fang Ping, thank you for saving my life countless times and helping me!

“Other than the dead old butler, you’re the best friend I’ve ever known in my life!

“Last time, I told you some secrets about me.

Kallen is my daughter. Actually, other than this secret, there has always been another bigger secret in my heart.

“I’ve never told anyone this secret. Not even Kallen.

“I originally thought that this secret would

probably be brought to the coffin by me and never see the light of day.

“But now I’ve changed my mind. I know I’m already going to die, so I wrote this letter before it was too late. “When you see this, I should have already gone

to see Ancestor Lilith. Don’t feel sad for me. This is all predestined!

“Decades ago, before I met Kallen’s mother, I

accidentally found an ancient ruin in a wilderness exploration. ‘According to my knowledge, after some investigation, I think this ruin is very likely the

graveyard of a duke or even a prince in ancient times!

“It’s obvious what treasures and secrets are hidden inside.

“Have you ever wondered why the vampire

race no longer has a prince expert in this era? Moreover, no new duke expert has been born in the past few hundred years!

“Why? Logically speaking, the lives of princes

should almost be as long as the heavens. Where did they all go?

“Perhaps the answer will be revealed when you open this ancient ruin!

“Back then, because I was not powerful enough, I did not rashly open this ruin. Later, I

did not have the chance to return to that place. “If you see this letter, go and find Kallen. Before leaving the palace, I left the key with

her. Now, go and take this key from her. But do this without affecting her current life.

“Open the ancient ruins! “This is the last repayment I can give you!”
