“Mr. Alldington, may I ask how long you have lived in this ancient castle?” Ding Ran asked.

“About… over a thousand years!” Alldington said with a smile.

Everyone was taken aback, and then they all started to laugh.

“Mr. Alldington really has a sense of humor,” Ding Ran said, laughing.

They all thought Alldington was joking.

Meanwhile.

Xue An arrived at the town with his family as well.

Quintina, with a somewhat solemn expression, pointed at the castle halfway up the mountain. “That’s Odin Castle!”

Xue An nodded, his eyes glowing with eagerness. “Let’s go; don’t let that guy get away!”

Quintina couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation at Xue An’s attitude.

Others would avoid a Blood Clan Duke like the plague.

But him? He actually rushed towards it as if it were a treasure.

Once they arrived in front of the castle.

Quintina announced solemnly, “Quintina, the Earl of the Cecil Family, has come to visit!”

Following her words, the butler came out once again.

“Miss Quintina, the master is waiting for you in the dining room, and he has prepared a lavish afternoon tea for you,” the butler said with a smile.

In his eyes, Ding Ran and the others were indeed just like an afternoon tea.

Quintina led the way, with Xue An following behind her, leading two little girls and An Yan.

When they entered the castle, An Yan couldn’t help but exclaim.

“How luxurious!”

Xue An laughed. “Do you like it? If you like it, then we’ll stay here!”

Quintina, walking ahead, nearly stumbled and fell upon hearing this.

Xue An, however, didn’t think much of it.

It was just an ancient castle.

If my wife likes it, what’s wrong with staying?

When they walked into the dining room.

Ding Ran, who had been chatting and laughing with Alldington, couldn’t help but stare.

“Eh, aren’t you the one from the plane…?”

Quintina hadn’t expected to encounter this group here, and she frowned slightly but ignored them, instead bowing to Alldington.

“Your Grace, you summoned me; may I know the matter?”

Duke?

This title left Ding Ran and the others looking at each other in confusion.

Was such a title still in use nowadays?

Alldington dabbed at his hands gently with a white silk cloth, smiling faintly.

“Regarding the death of Marquis Cecil, don’t you have anything to say?”

“Your Grace, the death of the Marquis has nothing to do with me!” Quintina tried to play it off.

“Oh? Is that so? Then how do you explain your sudden surge in strength?” Alldington asked lightly.

Quintina struggled to contain the anger in her heart, and her voice turned colder.

“Your Grace, I am not part of your family. Whether or not my strength increases, it seems to have nothing to do with you, right?”

Alldington nodded with a smile. “Well said! But you should be clear, in Country Y, I am the strongest. If I say it matters, then it matters!”

The conversation between the two left Ding Ran and the others utterly baffled.

All this talk of Blood Clan and family matters.

Could it be that they were acting in a play?

Quintina was left speechless by Alldington’s words; in the Blood Clan, strength was everything.

Alldington was powerful, so his word was the law.

“Hand over three-quarters of the Cecil Family’s assets, and I will recognize your legitimacy!” Alldington stated indifferently.

Quintina’s expression turned ugly.

The Blood Clan also needs to live.

Even because of their long lifespans, they pursue a high-quality life vigorously, which leads to their fanatical obsession with wealth.

That Alldington demanded three-quarters of the property was practically like daylight robbery.

At this moment, Ding Ran, who had been silently listening, couldn’t hold back any longer.

“Mr. Alldington,” he interrupted, “from the sound of it, you seem to be threatening this young lady. You should know, all men are created equal…”

He didn’t get to finish his sentence.

Because Alldington had already grown impatient with the humans’ drivel.

A streak of light flew by, pinning Ding Ran’s arm directly to the table.

It was a silver fork.

Ding Ran hadn’t even expected Alldington to make a move so suddenly; he was stunned for a moment before letting out a scream.

The scream awakened Ding Guang and the others, who all stood up to angrily scold Alldington.

“What do you think you’re doing? Why attack Ran Ran?” Ding Guang roared.

Alldington let out a cold laugh, as his enormous wings unfurled behind him.

Two pale golden fangs protruded from his lips.

The sight stunned Ding Ran and the others.

Alldington sneered, “Worthless humans, you dare talk to me about equality? You are only fit to be my afternoon snack!”

Just as one would rinse food with water before eating.

Alldington also liked to have a friendly conversation with his prey before feeding.

What he had just done was merely a small ritual before the meal.

But the problem was that Alldington had already lost his patience.

He also wanted to show off his strength in front of Quintina.

“Quintina, you can hand over three-quarters of your wealth and then join me for this afternoon tea, or be devoured by me!” Alldington said with a sneer.

What?

This woman was also a vampire?

Ding Ran and the others were all shocked as they looked at Quintina.

Quintina sighed and revealed a pair and a half of wings behind her, “Duke, don’t you think you’re going a bit too far?”

Alldington laughed heartily, “Too far? In the Blood Clan, the strong rule; have you forgotten that saying?”

The atmosphere became extraordinarily tense.

Especially for Ding Ran, her heart was filled with regret at this moment.

She had truly courted death!

To have walked into such a demon’s den by herself.

And even this woman was a vampire; could it be that vampires were everywhere in Country Y?

Quintina shook her head, “Indeed, the strong rule, but as a weaker being, I will not let myself be butchered by you!”

With those words, Quintina suddenly transformed into a beam of light, breaking three times the speed of sound, charging straight for Alldington.

“Heh, too slow!” Alldington stood in mid-air, casually caught Quintina’s oncoming fist, and then flung her away.

Quintina was thrown flying, almost smashing into the wall.

“Now, tell me your choice!” Alldington stood with his hands behind his back, a look of arrogance on his face.

Quintina took a deep breath, then landed on the ground and bowed her head to Xue An, “Master, I can’t beat him!”

Master?

Hearing this address, Ding Ran and the others all turned to look at Xue An.

Alldington said in a sly tone, “Master? A human is the master of a member of the Blood Clan?”

Xue An, however, merely smiled slightly, “I’ve always thought your name sounded familiar; just now, I finally remembered.”

Xue An paused, then continued indifferently, “In the City of Sin, the member of the Blood Clan I killed seemed to be from the Alldington family.”

At these words, Alldington’s eyes blazed with bloodlust.

“Lester was killed by you?”

Xue An nodded, then watched Alldington with interest, “He cursed me before he died, and then the curse was turned back on him. You survived, it seems dukes are indeed different!”
