"So you serve Vampires as well?" Atlas asked, ignoring her threats.
"We do. They come once in a while. In fact, today was supposed to be a day when they were going to come. This room was reserved for them. That's why the homeless kids were lured here as well, so they could feast and leave happily. We don't have the strength to go against the Vampires."
"Fortunately, it seems that those people didn't come here today, and the room was assigned to you. So please don't do anything stupid that might end up getting you in this mess. Just forget you saw anything."
"I'm afraid I'm the last person who can forget this..." Atlas gazed at the young children who were lured here, seeing himself in them. If only there were someone who hadn't ignored them like this... Maybe things would've been different.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
Wang and Ri entered the restaurant. They walked to the manager. "Where is our room?"
The manager looked at them in confusion.
"He is under compulsion. That's quite interesting." Wang smiled before glancing back. "Is it your work?"
Ri shook her head. "It's not my compulsion."
"I'm sorry, but we have no rooms available." The manager answered. "The rooms we prepared have been given to other guests. Please wait until the rooms are vacant again."
"You gave our rooms away to someone else?" Ri frowned. "Even you can't be this stupid."
"It must be because of the compulsion," Want casually stated. "I am quite interested in seeing the person that dares to steal our rooms."
"Hah, must be a stray Vampire who didn't know what he was doing. As soon as he realizes who we are, I have a feeling that he'll fall to our feet!" Ri laughed.
"Come, let us see who it was."
Wang told the man to lead them to the room that was assigned to them. Even though the man couldn't give the room to them due to his compulsion, he didn't hesitate in leading them to the room as that wasn't related to his compulsion.
Wang and Ri were members of the Blood Council, but not like Ramiun or Elisi. They are lower ranking members who worked for the highest ranking members. The two of them were Generals of a Blood Lord at the Blood Council.
They were on a quest to search the entire territory to find Elisi and her people, who disappeared after betraying the Blood Council. Albeit, during their journey, they decided to take some rest and have some enjoyment in the city, not knowing they were going to meet another Vampire.
Subconsciously, the two even hoped that it would be a Vampire that worked for Elisi who could lead them to her.
The Manager led them to the private room, where the door was already open. The waitress was standing inside the room, talking to Atlas.
The Waitress heard the footsteps coming from behind her. She turned around, only to find the Manager there. But he wasn't alone. She could see two Vampires behind her.
"Don't tell me I didn't warn you." The waitress lowered her head.
Atlas also heard the footsteps.

"That's interesting. I also felt the stench of those dirty wolves." Wang commented, smiling wryly. "A Vampire on a date with a werewolf?"
"If it's a werewolf, you think it could be the one that Elisi took and ran? Wouldn't that mean that Lady Elisi is inside the room? You know she is strong enough to kill us. Should we inform this to the Lord?" Ri asked, slightly concerned after realizing that it might actually be Elisi.
Wang also stopped in his tracks. He pulled out a portrait and showed it to the Manager.
"Is this person one of the guests?"
The manager shook his head. "She isn't here."
"So it's not Elisi." Wang sighed. "Then again, Elisi might not be the only Vampire who had a wolf."
Wang barged inside the room. His eyes straight went on Lancaster. He understood that this guy was a wolf, but the other two beside him looked somewhat like humans.
Atlas was the last person that he looked at.
"You're the Vampire that stole our room?" Wang asked.
"You're the person that was going to feast on those kids?" Atlas asked in return.
"Is that even a question?" Wang smirked. "I was the one who booked this room. I was the one who commanded for these tasty treats to be prepared. So, of course, we would be feasting on them. Unfortunately, here you are, trying to steal our night."
"So, who do you work for?" he further asked.
"Tasty treats?" Atlas repeated, frowning. "You know, at the moment, I also see some tasty treats. I wonder if I should feast on them or not."
"Of course! Humans are made for us to feast! What else? If you want something, just take it! No need to hesitate and think about it!" Wang laughed. "Unfortunately, you tried to take something that belonged to us. It was a big mistake. But still, I might be willing to forgive you if you answer a few questions."
"Who do you work for?" Wang repeated the question.
Unfortunately for him, Atlas once again ignored the question. "So if I want something, I just take it. I should thank you for your advice then. Because I was actually starting to feel hungry. And now I see what I want to feast on!"

Boom~
A figure came flying out of the restaurant, breaking the walls with his body. The figure belonged to none other than Wang, who had a look of shock on his face. Chasing after him was Atlas, who was not in a good mood this time. Seeing what was being done in the restaurant, he couldn't help but see Carlisle's reflection in Wang.
"Wang!" Ri also tried to run after them to help, but Lilith blocked her path. "Going somewhere?"
"Human! Move aside if you don't want to die!" Ri revealed her sharp teeth. "Step aside!"
Lilith only smiled in response. "And what if I don't?"
This time, Lancaster didn't join the battle. He didn't even feel the need to join the battle since he could just sit back and enjoy it. The enemies weren't a threat to them. He was sure that Lilith and Atlas could handle them.
He picked up the menu as if nothing had happened. "I'm ready to order now."
The waitress was frozen in place. Just what had happened? She couldn't understand. Atlas was also a Vampire? Just who were these people? And even now, they were acting as if nothing happened and ordering food.
