"And he, is my Student."
Luminia introduced.
Azriel stepped forward and smiled,
"Azriel Ruinous."
Hearing that name, the head of the Bloodhawk family frowned.
"Ruinous? Never heard of that name before."
"What a coincidence, I never heard of the Bloodhawks either." Azriel chuckled.
"That is just because you are ignorant."
The Head of the Bloodhawk family snorted.
"Oh? Are you calling me ignorant?" Azriel narrowed his eyes.
"For you to not know of us Bloodhawks, the noble vampires, how can you not be ignorant?" The Head of the Bloodhawk family snorted.
"Are you the Leader of the Bloodhawk Family?" Azriel questioned.
"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Bertramus Bloodhawk, I am the leader of the proud Bloodhawk Family."
Bertramus introduced himself.
"And you are telling me that I am ignorant because I don't know about Bloodhawk Family, a family whose leader is a mere Great Sage?" Azriel questioned with a disdainful smile on his face.
"Mere Great Sage?"
Bertramus narrowed his eyes.
"Boy, do you even know what you are talking about?"
This time, even Luminia had a frown on her face.
Great Sage might not be the strongest Cultivation Stage, however, it was definitely not weak. It was most definitely not a 'mere Great Sage'. Even she would have to show adequate respect to a Great Sage.
And it was not only about her, Great Sages were just that strong.
For a measurement, excluding her and the Bloodhawk family, the strongest being living in the Vampire continent was only a Sage.
That means, if Bertramus wishes to, he could easily kick every other race out of the Vampire Continent, with just him alone and this includes Dragons and Demons.
Of course, it is a different thing that he definitely wouldn't be able to fight against the other races once they retaliate with their actual forces.
All in all, a Great Sage was definitely not as weak as Azriel was making it out to be.
"Heh, I think he is just a fool who just spouts words without thinking. Don't waste your breath on idiots like him, father."
Bertramus's son, Alcyone Bloodhawk snorted and glanced at Azriel with a disdainful look on his face.
He then turned towards Ithania and his expression changed,
"Ithania, I apologize for before.
I didn't know that you were just humoring this fool."
"No-"
Ithania wanted to say something, however, before she could, someone interrupted her.
"Lord Azriel? Is that really you!?" Ferox, who had just woken up from the strange impact rushed towards the Garden when he noticed so many people there.
Then, his eyes fell on someone he wanted to meet for a very very long time and the moment he saw him, he couldn't control himself and rushed out.
Hearing his words, Alcyone frowned.
'Lord Azriel? Lord?'
Alcyone clenched his fist,
'This Half-Breed called him Lord?'
Ferox and his whole group have never referred to him as 'Lord', they may show him proper respect since he is strong, however, he has never managed to win their loyalty.
In truth, he doesn't really care about their Loyalty either.
They were just half-breeds, he didn't care about them.
However, Ithania seems to care about these halflings a lot, therefore, he had tried many methods to make them call him 'lord', he has even used force, however, these half-breeds were oddly tenacious.
Even if he beats them to death, they never gave in.
However, today, right in front of his eyes, this bastard was kneeling in front of this Idiot and was referring to him as 'lord'?
Ridiculous!
Alcyone glanced at Ferox again and his eyes widened in surprise when not only Ferox, but Valerian, Tassia, and many other half-breed bastards appeared and were kneeling in front of Azriel with respectful looks on their faces.
And as if they were trying to target him,
""Lord Azriel.""
All of them spoke at the same time.
This time, Alcyone couldn't control himself.
"You Half-Breed bastards! Can't you see we all are talking here!? How dare you filthy halflings interrupt us!? Do you have a death wish!?"
Alcyone shouted out loud.
Hearing his words, Ithania frowned, however, before she could say anything, Azriel narrowed his eyes.
"What did you say?"
"Huh?"
Alcyone frowned.
As a pure-blooded King Stage Vampire, his instincts were better than normal Vampires, he could feel it.
The Air around Azriel had changed.
His smile, which seemed to have been pasted on his face permanently had now disappeared.
With his head slightly tilted, Azriel walked towards Alcyone with a solemn look on his face and questioned again,
"What did you say?"
Unconsciously, Alcyone stepped back.
His mind was too occupied with thoughts about Azriel's sudden changes that he forgot to answer Azriel's question.
And Azriel didn't like that.
"You and your family come to my base and dare to shout at my subordinates? Who do you think you are, huh? Who gave you such guts?
Do you have a death wish?"
Seeing him acting like that, a smile appeared on Ferox's, Valerian's, and Tassia's faces,
"He really is back."
Tassia smiled.
"Heh, Lord Azriel has not changed at all. That same dangerous Aura, the same Pride, the same Arrogance, everything is the same." Ferox laughed.
"Why do I feel like he has become even more arrogant than before?" Valerian couldn't help but comment.
Ithania, Lumina, and Lilia, who had just appeared here couldn't help but agree with Valerian's words.
"W-What do you mean your base? You think you are the leader here?"
Alcyone finally collected himself and questioned.
Azriel continued to walk towards him and a confused look appeared on his face,
"Did you not know that?"
"Arrogan-"
Alcyone wanted to shout, however, before he could even complete his words, Azriel suddenly appeared right in front of him,
With his right hand on Alcyone's face, Azriel pummeled him into the ground.
*Bam*
A loud and clear impact was heard by everyone present.
Azriel, however, wasn't done yet.
He lifted his face up and pummelled him into the ground again.
*Bam*
And again.
*Bam*
And again.
*Bam* *Bam* *Bam* *Bam*
After pummeling his face into the ground 10-12 times, when Azriel was finally satisfied, he stood up, stepped on Alcyone's face again, and spoke,
"Next time you talk to my subordinates in my area, show proper respect."
