Chapter 32: Marquis Scarlet
Chapter 32 Marquis Scarlet
Half an hour later, Bai Yan let out a long breath on the sofa. After several attempts, he had completely figured out how to clear the new event and finally cleared the stage on the fifth try.
The first stage was already so difficult.
‘That was not how the game was done. If it was a mobile game, it would have been criticized!’ Bai Yan complained in his heart, and he knew that Babel Tower was not a normal game at all.
“Save.”
He finally saved the game and smiled when he saw the pass reward. Bai Yan looked at the reward and heaved a sigh of relief.
‘Mu Ling, or Miss Nightsaber, I’m all done here. It’s your turn.’
“BOOM!”
Lightning accompanied thunder in the rain-drenched night, and once again, Mu Ling realized her body was out of control.
But so what?
She no longer felt afraid. She had long since become familiar with the sensation of being in the Savior’s power. Her body and mind had adjusted. Or perhaps she would feel afraid if she lost his protection one day?
Mu Ling suddenly thought of the dog she had raised when she was young. One day, the dog got lost, and she cried for a long time but still couldn’t find him.
‘In the dead of night, would he think of his master in the corner?’
‘Wait, what am I thinking?’
If the Savior had been a normal person, she might have felt a little ashamed of her thoughts, but now the sense of shame had disappeared since she thought that the Savior was not a human.
‘People probably think of me as the Hound of Babel Tower right now...’
At this moment, Mu Ling opened her mouth gently and felt the raindrops falling into her mouth.
“The Black Star destroyed my family. I’ve long since lost hope and dignity. Now revenge is all I have. The Blood has always been an integral part of the city. They’ve long since infiltrated the various industries. I heard that Marquis Scarlet has access to a great deal of information about the Black Star.”
‘I must take the information from his hands.’
‘Why am I talking to myself?’
She couldn’t understand it at all. ‘The Savior is controlling me. So these explanations are all for me! He is taking revenge for me...’ Mu Ling subconsciously wanted to clench her fists, but she couldn’t.
Gratitude welled up inside her. The Babel Tower wasn’t just a cold-hearted salvationist organization. The Savior seemed ruthless, but he was actually willing to help his subordinates.
The interior of the club was lavishly decorated and extremely imposing. Classical music sounded around, and well-dressed waiters were politely serving fresh drinks, desserts, and fruit on trays.
This was an auction house.
The masked men and women present were all Blood. No one noticed Mu Ling’s arrival. She leaned close to the others and overheard the discussions of the vampires.
“The spell books this time are worthless. All basic knowledge.”
“I got a history book about other worlds last time.”
“Do you think Babel Tower and Black Star are enemies?”
‘The bloppuccino’s a bit light today.’
Mu ling quickly found Mililyn, the vampire viscount, drinking alone by the window, and she automatically flew over.
“Why haven’t you come, Scarlet?”
Mililyn drank a cocktail with a cool expression of dismay.
Mu Ling could sense that she had a low-level might of a Blood kin. Her strength was troublesome... if she didn’t have the help of the Savior.
Next, she flew all the way to a room in the club.
The room seemed very different. Classical music was playing in the room. The architecture was noble and elegant. It covered at least two hundred square meters and was filled with a variety of sculptures and oil paintings.
Could this be the Marquis Scarlet’s room?
Mu Ling suddenly began to change again. She gradually returned to her human form and walked toward an oil painting without hesitation.
‘The information is there?’
Her expression changed. Then she took a red letter from the oil painting. Suddenly, she heard clapping.
“You truly are indeed the Hound of Babel Tower. I still can't believe you could sneak in to my room like that."
Mu Ling was extremely shocked. Her expression... did not change.
The one who came to applaud was none other than the famous man among the Blood, Marquis Scarlet.
He had a handsome but not undignified face, and his smile showed a faint hint of pride. He was dressed in a red tuxedo, with a glass of “red wine” in his hand. He looked like a nobleman from the Medieval Ages.
“Please state the reason for your presence, my beautiful lady. It better be a a good reason.
The light in Marquis Scarlet’s eyes grew crimson.
“Otherwise, I would be happy to taste you.”
