Chapter 137: That Is A Secret

We just need something to do, but we have our own reason why we need you to bring them outside." Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"And what is the reason?"

Aimu chuckled, "Oh, that. That is a secret. But you don't have any choice, kid."

Alex frowned. They just said there is a high bounty on the vampire race.

What if these people were after that bounty, and once they are outside, they report his information to the enemy?

The thought made Alex quickly look around the area, using his ability to calculate the best method to escape in case a conflict started.

"I cannot do that. You just told me I am hunted with a high reward on my head. This means everyone who knows my information is a potential risk for me."

Seeing Alex's wariness made Aimu laugh once again. "You are not a bad kid! You should keep up that attitude if you want to survive."

His eyes then turned cold as the pressure came down on Alex, making his body freeze. But it only lasted a moment as a loud bam! Reverberated in the area, Alex's eyes widened in surprise.

Freya hit Aimu in the head, creating a bump the size of an orange. This made Alex want to laugh, but he did his best to hold it off.

"Now it's you who scares him with nonsense. Look, Alex, we are on the same side as you. The fairy and feline progenitors took the same side as the Vampire progenitor in the past.

With his demise, the situation turned worse, and we are all out in hiding now. Even though we don't have a high bounty like those from the vampire race, they still try to look for us.

The situation now is bad for our side. So, you don't need to worry about us backstabbing you.

Of course, it's not just words; you should have seen how fond Amus is of Lily; asking her to follow you is one of your safe guarantees."

"Why does she need to follow me, though? I don't believe you don't have another goal with it."

"That is the agreement with the Vampire progenitor. Each race will send one of their members to help the new heir. As for who? It depends on which group meets with you."

Hearing Valkyrie's explanation, Alex felt that it made sense. Since even Alucard doesn't know when the new progenitor will come, not even what kind of race they are.

With many groups separated everywhere, one of them will meet the heir in one way or another. It's not a matter of fate or destiny, but just statistics.

"Am I the only progenitor heir that exists? Don't other progenitors have one too?"

With the vampire progenitor's demise, Alex was sure he was not the only one; there were probably others, too.

"Yes, you are the only one," Freya replied.

Amu then continued with the explanation, "A progenitor is born from the universe; even if one is killed, they will be reborn somewhere else with their memory intact; they will then start recovering their power step by step.

So it's not right to call them heirs.

The vampire progenitor is the only exception; he purposely destroys his own soul and sentience, separating his power into many parts.

That is why I speculate the war just started with boredom; when you meet them later, you will know. Each of them is weird and has their own quirks."

Freya smirked, "Amu, I dare you to talk like that to your progenitor, do you dare?"

Amu quickly turned to frown, "No thanks, whether I win or lose will not have a good result for me.

In fact, I am sure I will be erased from this universe based on his personality.

Anyway, I will take your advice to heart now, and I have no more bets with you. Last time, you made rules for every single Guardian must be a woman; God knows what requests you will make now."

Freya laughed, hearing Amu admit defeat. "You, Amu, admit defeat, God. It seems the universe will be flipped over now. Maybe we come outside, and our progenitor already won the war."

"Hah, you wish."

'So this is why all sentinels must be women. But Amu is probably right; having lived that long, it's not weird each of them has their own quirks.'

Alex then started digesting and analyzing the information he had.

He picked some extra information from their words; they only knew the vampire progenitor had an heir.

They don't know there are two heirs, and both of them must be of opposite gender.

They also seem to not know about Vesa's existence.

And the important bit is the Vampire progenitor basically killed himself. So, the chance of the old personality awakening and taking over their body is very slim.

If he wanted to do that, he might as well just get resurrected somewhere else. Why bother doing all of this and create so many preparations for it? Not to mention, from his situation, this is a huge gamble.

Except there is some other factor that Alex doesn't know yet. So, he doesn't completely remove this possibility.

If the human progenitor is really his enemy, that means his power is already in human hands, and then a question surfaced in his mind. "Freya, why would you bet the one that's coming here is a human?"

Freya shook her head. "I am not betting the one coming here is human. I am betting the vampire progenitor's heir will be human.

That's why this old fogey decided to stop betting. Our bet is quite big this time."

Seeing Alex's puzzled look, Amu explained with an annoyed tone, "Everyone in the universe heard it; when he was dead, he told us he would pick an heir, breaking the tradition for progenitors.

And at the same time, he said in a spiteful tone, 'If my heir turns out to be human, that will be funny. Don't you think so, Adam?'

That is also one of the reasons many suspect the human progenitor Adam had a hand in the vampire progenitor's demise."
