With reluctance, he decided to return to MingYue. There was nothing he could do here. But since Thalia was nowhere to be seen, Alex shamelessly took every book from the library.

If Thalia asked him later, he would just copy the books and return them. Any information was useful for him.

Meanwhile, far high in space, a sleek black object, barely visible to the eyes, was floating, looking at a blue planet.

Inside were Thalia and a small boy that barely reached her waist. Despite the difference, Thalia was extremely polite to the boy.

"Master, is this the right choice? I still think we need to train them further."

"Thalia, that is where you are wrong. The old should give way to the new.

If they are built with the same foundation, how could they surpass us?

Honestly, I am glad to see them now.

They have many power systems and try to combine them. I am really looking forward to what they could achieve."

"But Master, even if that is right, you getting out here is too dangerous. This is the last shred of your soul."

Alucard let out a laugh, "I have lived long enough. Despite everything, the whole vampire race is like my sons and daughters; even her is no different. As their father, I couldn't just stay still."

"But with your current strength, Master…" Thalia said with a complicated gaze.

She could tell Alucard was very weak now.

Even though he had the experience and knowledge of a progenitor, without enough energy, he wouldn't be able to use them.

"What are you afraid of? Don't I have you? We need to find information and gather other survivors." Alucard said with a chuckle.

Thalia's lips curled into a smile. She felt happy that her Master trusted her and depended on her. "I will never betray you, Master."

"Don't worry, in reality, no one ever betrayed me."

"But Master, she…"

Alucard smiled, then raised his finger to his lips, gesturing her to stay silent.

"Never talk about it again; the circumstances were complicated at that time.

I do admit she is an unruly daughter, but no matter what, in the end, I am still her parent." seaʀᴄh thё NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"So this is why you never had kids of your own," Thalia said.

Some progenitors sometimes mate, giving birth to a stronger being in their species. For example, the high elf from the elf race.

But Alucard never did it. Thalia thought it was because he didn't need to; after all, he created pure vampires.

Only now did she realize Alucard really thought all the vampires were his daughters.

With so many kids, why would he need to have another biological one?

Alucard's hand was at his back. He then smiled as he looked at the darkness of space, "You still haven't changed, Thalia; you overthink things."

He then let out a laugh, "I just don't want to have a nagging wife."

Thalia then remembered Alucard did have some history in the past, one of which was with the nine-tailed fox progenitor. But she refrained from discussing the topic further.

"But Master, what about the aspect of gluttony roaming there now?"

"Don't you see their capabilities now? If they couldn't take care of it, they might as well give up now. The enemy they will face later is far stronger."

Back at the castle, a crack started appearing on Vesa's cocoon.

Crack… Crack…

A bat-like creature came out from it, the wings now coming out from the back, with two hands on the sides.

Her chest had a green crystal on it, gleaming with energy.

Looking at the hands, Vesa grinned, showing her fangs.

"Finally." A cute feminine voice came out of it.

Alex and MingYue, looking at this, were surprised since they thought Vesa didn't have a gender.

"You are a female?" Alex asked.

Vesa put her hand on her chest, then lowered her upper body, "Thank you, King and Queen, and yes, I am a female."

"Her fur is always pink. Why are you so surprised, Alex?"

"Where I thought that is just the normal color at Edonia.

Well, it's not like it's important now. So, can you tell us something more now?"

"My power is still far from its peak, but I now can help in fights as support and transport both of you anywhere.

So shall we leave this world?" Vesa asked with high spirits.

She felt excited with her new body. This time, she would be able to take form anytime she wanted.

"Not yet. We need to take care of the aspect of Gluttony first."

"Of course, King, don't worry. I am sure now he is not our opponent."

"Vesa, you said before you were afraid something was destroyed, so did you get all you needed intact?"

Vesa's shoulders slumped down, then shook her head, "No, Queen, the knowledge is not intact. I could not retrieve much."

Alex squinted his eyes at Vesa, "I have met with your old Master, Alucard. Don't you want to meet him?"

"Of course I do, but now is not the time. Don't worry, King, I am sure he has no ill will."

Alex's lips twitched. He couldn't believe what Vesa said. After his meeting, he was sure the old chibi geezer was up to no good.

Meanwhile, back in Alex's world, William was now opening a restaurant. With his family background and his experience maintaining one, it's not hard for him to gain success.

The secret is he uses spice water in all the dishes and sells it at an affordable price range.

He still gets a profit despite it being a small margin, but that is enough. His goal is to build up a name first.

It's another day, and he just closed the restaurant when two people approached him.

"You are William, right?"

"Yes, can I help you?" William asked as he looked at the two men who had just come.

Both of them wore black suits with muscular figures. "We suspect you are not human, so you need to come with us."
