Chapter 180: 29

Seeing that Mr Welps wasn't getting any better and Fiero hadn't calmed down yet, Jia Hyson glared at the two princes, who were too busy glaring at each other in a very sexually charged manner, before fishing out his mobile phone.

Because he was assigned many responsibilities, he also had many contacts on his phone to help him. Without hesitation, he scrolls down to call Dr Romano, who is one of the vampire school doctors present, and the one that resides in this dormitory.

Due to the problem of having young vampires and teenage humans in the same building, it was considered the more medical help, the better, especially for emergencies. It could be said that the ratio of vampires to humans is much higher in the medical and security staff than in the teaching staff.

"Hello? Yes, sorry to disturb you, doctor, but we have a situation here in the library." Jia Hyson did not hide his voice, completely turning his back to ignore the two princes and survey the injured vampires. "Oh? You heard? Ah, you already have Mrs Lemmings here? That's perfect! Yes, yes, I'll do that immediately. Currently, Fiero will probably need treatment for frost burn, we have two first-year vampires with open wounds and internal trauma, but it's not too serious-"

"Speak for yourself," Edward mutters before Conner elbows him, making him groan in pain. "You fucking bitch, I was talking about your injuries!"

"Oh." Conner blinks and awkwardly scratches the back of his neck, "Thanks."

"Eat shit." Edward rolls his eyes.

"You eat shit!" Conner immediately retorts loudly.

Jia Hyson glares at the pair before focusing back on the voice through the phone. "-ah? What? Sorry, some baby chicks were chirping I didn't quite catch that."

Baby chicks Edward and Conner: cheep cheep??

"Yes. Yes. No, Mrs Lemmings should be enough here. We also have Prince Silas from Golden Rose and Prince Rigel from Eclipse. Prince Silas will need to be checked over. Not a high priority. Anything else? Probably find contact someone familiar with how beast abilities work; Fiero still hasn't changed back. Oh, and I recommend Mr Welps keeps his memory for now. He's clearly connected one way or another, it's better he can remember to cooperate with us. Besides, he's almost eligible to find out the truth soon anyway, right?"

After a few more sentences, Dr Romano ended the call and Jia Hyson finally paid attention to the princes again. Turning his head back, he saw three eyes stare back at him. Prince Rigel's silvery eye was giving him an annoyed and aggrieved look, like a spoilt cat who had been ignored, while Prince Silas's black eyes were full of sadness and looked more like a wronged wolf kicked out of his pack. The corner of Jia Hyson's mouth twitches and he spreads his hands innocently, "Look, now neither of you has to bring anyone."

Prince Rigel and Prince Silas:

Not one to lose face if he can help it, Prince Rigel crosses his arms and snorts, "Well, I suppose this is an acceptable decision, Alaric."

Prince Silas, in contrast, still wanted to sell misery. "Alaric.. I-"

Jia Hyson waves him away, "This is not the time; we still need to do clean up, your highness. It's important to finish things to the end unless we can pass it on to someone else with equal or more suitability for the job."

Ignoring the prince who was shooting him frustrated and yearning glances his way, Jia Hyson tidies up his rumpled clothing to the best of his abilities and strides out of the private room and into the chaotic public library space again. "Everyone," He loudly announces, "The situation has been handled. Please, everyone, come out to the front of the library desk so we can assess the extent of everyone's injuries."

All the students more or less recognised Alaric, a perk of being one of the 'School Emperors'', and given they were all from the same dormitory, they were even more familiar with his voice. Hearing the announcement, everyone obediently obeyed, coming out from their hiding places to surround Alaric.

The human hanging from the lights very impressively swung his body and jumped on a nearby bookcase before using the side of the shelf to shimmy down to the ground with great confidence. Jia Hyson felt immediately attracted. "Nice moves," he compliments with a smile before shyly looking up and down the other student, "Are you in any of the athletics clubs?"

"Ah.. I don't like attending clubs but I do like to dabble in parkour in my free time and I used to do gymnastics in my last school." The student smiles nervously. Everyone 'wow'-ed with admiration. After all, no matter how he played it down, it is evident to all that he was very athletic and in good shape.

Jia Hyson chuckles and tilts his head thoughtfully as he gives the young man a once-over. "Hmm, it shows. You're very impressive~"

The male student blushes, flattered by the attention.

It was at this moment Prince Rigel and Prince Silas walked out of the room, purposely avoiding touching each other like they thought the other carried the plague, and immediately felt speechless. Even though they didn't like each other, their brainwaves at this time were surprisingly more or less in sync.

Fuck!

Prince Rigel: You dare flirt with someone after playing with this prince like this!? Ahhh, I'm going to fucking push you down!

Prince Silas: How could you still have the heart to look at others again? Should I still be doing more so you can see only me? Ah, I really really can't stand it.

Feeling the intense stares, Jia Hyson clicks his tongue and retracts his ambiguous behaviour into something more professional and severe. He couldn't help but sigh internally. In the next world, he will do his best to just flirt and play around. No need to provoke these possessive types. Thinking of this, he can't help but already look forward to it.

Thankfully Dr Romano and an elderly-looking woman quickly enter the library. They wasted no time with trivial greetings as they rushed to the group of students with superhuman speed. Before the human students could react, Jia Hyson, Prince Silas, Prince Rigel and the other vampiric student had already restrained them. Jia Hyson had grabbed the athletic student from behind, and couldn't help but rub the other's chest. "Heh, you're really my type oh~" He whispers roguishly, "I hope to see you in the future."

"Ah?!" The athletic student wanted to turn around, but the old woman was already in front of him and had covered his eyes with her hand.

To be honest, it's not that Jia Hyson had blind faith in the system, but vampires had lived so long to the point their five generations overlapped all over each other. Under the premise of selfishness alone, many older vampires have generally chosen not to look at short-term profits in favour of long-term planning. They had no intention of just throwing their problems to the next generation because- they were also alive in the next generation! And the generation after!

Of course, that didn't mean there still weren't problems, such as the ingrained biases from their youth having trouble changing as society as a whole redevelops the concepts of morality. Still, at least for these sorts of systems, they were considered archaic but well-founded and well-established. Traitors or vampires with poor psychological quality but high IQ may be quite challenging to find if they're by themselves, but those that form a group are actually relatively easy to pick out, thanks to this. And even now, with an improved understanding of psychology, and a higher appreciation for mental health, the former was also slowly finding it more difficult to hide away.

While it wasn't the only way, probably the easiest way to hide anything large-scale was if you were an essential part of the judicial system itself

While Jia Hyson's mind was thinking quickly, Doctor Romano, who was injecting a fourth tranquilliser needle into the still struggling and growling Fiero, tsks loudly. "If Garth was sent here as promised, this would be much simpler. Unfortunately, he's still wrapped up in that human experiment problem. Alaric, I hear you're good friends with him. Do you know if they're close to cracking it?"

"Mhmm.. unfortunately, no. But I think the lead has gone cold, so they're close to giving up." Jia Hyson sighs with a trace of irritation and expectation that he didn't even notice he held.

Mr Garth really did want to come to visit him, but in the end, he wasn't a prince, and he wasn't a person with a high enough status or poor enough work ethic to be able to ignore the responsibilities given to him. This is the reality most people, vampires and humans, had to face, and Jia Hyson understood that. Besides, this was a case of human experimentation and other illegal things, but it was a noble reason nonetheless. He wasn't a kind person, but he wasn't completely heartless and selfish to be dissatisfied by this turn of events.

The human experimentation case though.. to bring it up may just be a coincidence but..

Jia Hyson's eyes flash as a name he hadn't thought about in a long time comes to mind.

Could it be him?

.

"Is that enough?" A handsome young punk with shockingly styled hair, dyed blonde at the front and bloody bright red at the back, glares irritatedly at his arm.

There, a needle was injected into himself, connecting to a pump that was extracting his blood. What was even more alarming was the amount of blood that had been filled in the container, around half a litre already.

"Yes, this will do just fine." Count Vericus nods at the nurse, who quickly begins to pull out the needle and carefully wipe the delinquent looking young man's arm with an alcohol wipe. Soon though, the small wound closed up, already healing in seconds. "Thank you for your help again."

The punk sneers, hopping out of the chair and rubbing his sore arm. Even with vampiric healing, the pain could not disappear so soon. Besides, the amount of blood he lost was the maximum a person could really afford to lose without any major side effects.

It could be said the Count was ruthless but measured, and his thanks were merely for politeness. The teenager didn't know why he bothered. They had long understood each other anyway.

Seeing his blood be carted away, he felt regret and unease for the nth time.

"Speaking of help.." Count Vericus smiles kindly like a doting father. It made the punk have goosebumps. This sort of gentleness is too fake compared to Anyway, he really doesn't understand how blind his sister is to be seduced by such a man. Even if he was astoundingly handsome, in the younger man's eyes, it can't help but feel greasy. "Even though it was difficult since you've been such a good child, I pulled some connections and got you into St Lailah's Academy despite it being halfway through the year."

The older vampire sighs and shakes his head softly and helplessly, "Even if I admit you're a special case, it doesn't change the fact people will doubt your self-control as a turned vampire. Not to mention you'll be a year younger than everyone else. I'm worried for you." Count Vericus reaches out to the young punk's shoulder dotingly, "To be honest, I don't see what the rush is. With my status as the head of law enforcement, even if you're just a turned vampire, as my young brother-in-law, you are eligible to enter the school next year."

Kylan Laframboise's silver eyes flash red for a second before it immediately recedes. Clicking his tongue and shrugging off the Count's hand like a petulant and rebellious teenager, he walks away. "Don't think too deeply." He says as he steps up the stairs, only turning around after he opens the hidden passage door, light reflecting off his handsome and fiercely beautiful features, "I just want to meet someone."

Jasmine, I'm finally coming.

Little Theatre:

Kylan: I'm finally back. (,, w ,,)

Silas: Fuck. _

Rigel: Double fuck. ( )

Also The Female Supporting Role Shows Out is another recc, both are strong female lead QTs, some arcs have romance, some don't, and it's all separate MLs unrelated to each other. The Female Supporting Role Shows Out has some arcs properly translated if you want to check but.... the number of ads on that site really sent me into an aneurysm like bruh sometimes they had invisible pop up ads ON THE NEXT CHAPTER BUTTON??
