Chapter 464 When Did The Humans Become So Mighty?

BAM!

"Damn it."

A middle-aged man in exquisite robes smashed his teacup on the ground and cursed. This man was none other than the Human Ancestor, Darren Whitter.

"Do the vampires think of everyone else as clowns? Do we humans look like a joke to them?" Darren cursed as he paced around his courtyard.

He had just received a message on his phone about the incident at CNC's Upper House from the Emperor-Rank in charge. It was no wonder he was so agitated.

The eight main races controlled the Neutral Continent in turns. Currently, it was the turn of humans. But the vampires did not care. They had barged into the CNC and killed the council members without sparing humans any face.

This was a tight slap on the face of the Human race and Darren. It was under his leadership that the Neutral Continent was being controlled but he couldn't do anything to the vampires who walked in, killed, and walked away as if they were taking a stroll in a garden.

Darren's mood was turning from bad to worse with each passing second.

He knew that his reputation would take a big blow in front of the other Supreme Ranks, and he would become a laughing stock in front of everyone. Not to mention, his pride had also suffered a blow.

Darren had to do something to save his face.

"But what can I even do…"

Darren couldn't help but wonder.

Truth be told, Darren couldn't do anything to the Vampire Queen or the vampires in general. There were not one but two Supremes amongst the Vampires now.

Due to his foolishness, Darren lost a powerful subordinate. He also could not avenge him as going to the vampires to duke it out would be the same as a sheep seeking revenge from a pack of wolves.

It was utter suicide.

Even though his pride was hurt, Darren was not stupid enough to commit the same mistake twice.

He had seen the Vampire Queen in the place where Arya was ascending. Although he wasn't harmed that day, Darren knew the same wouldn't be the case if he barged into the Queen's home uninvited.

No matter how angry he was and how much his reputation would take a toll, Darren couldn't do anything to the Vampire Queen.

A while later, he calmed down and thought of things from another point of view. Soon, he had an idea.

Darren called Graham to the courtyard. After his subordinate had arrived, the Ancestor of Humans issued Graham some instructions.

"You will handle the external affairs for a while. Let the other races know that the vampires had permission from us and could change things in the CNC."

Darren thought it would be best to do this as it would mean his reputation wouldn't take too big of a blow.

Little did he know…

Star Dragon City.

Inside a towering gold and silver palace, an otherworldly purple-haired beauty was seated on a throne made from the most treasured resources of the world. She listened to the envoy of the Humans with a tiny smile on her lips.

"...so yes, Your Majesty the Dragon Empress, we approved of the changes before the Vampires executed them."

The purple-haired beauty, looking at the man's hologram in front with her eyes as dark as night, asked in an overbearing tone,

"When did the humans become mighty enough to give 'permission' to anyone?"

"Huh?" Graham's confused voice was heard through the hologram.

The purple-haired beauty was Mayzin, a dear friend of Lilith. She rested her right elbow on the armrest and leaned on it. She then crossed her legs and smirked at the confused man on the screen.

"I asked, since when did the humans forget the existence of the other races and do things on their own? The Neutral Continent belongs to the eight main races. How were the humans able to give permission for any change happening in it to the vampires? Who do you think you are to not consult the Dragons for it?"

"This…" Graham was speechless.

He thanked his stars that he was not present in person before the Dragon Empress. If he was, he would be dead by now. No matter how he looked at the situation, he realized that he had fucked up, and so had the Ancestor.

Mayzin may look calm and overbearing as she stared down at the Human delegate, but she was laughing in her heart.

The vampires asked for permission before doing something? What a joke! Since when did Lilith need permission to do anything?

Mayzin couldn't reveal that she was best friends with Lilith to the person in front, or else she would've voiced her thoughts out loud. Geopolitics needed one to use their brains and keep a hand hidden.

The Dragon Empress thus twisted things and accused the humans of not discussing things with the dragons.

Her words to the delegate were clear. She conveyed that the humans thought too highly of themselves and didn't even consider discussing things with the other Supreme Ranks. This was a serious matter, and they were in deep shit.

Of course, Mayzin knew the truth without even anyone telling her. She knew Darren was lying with a straight face to save his stupid reputation, and Mayzin wanted to expose him. She couldn't let her best friend's name get sullied like this.

Looking at the delegate in front, Mayzin continued,

"Tell me, delegate of the Human race, does the Human race think so highly of itself that it doesn't consider the opinion of the Dragons? Do they perhaps want an all-out war with us?"

"NO! No! No! No! Your Majesty, please, it is not like that." Graham panicked. Any sane person would be anxious in such a situation.

The humans could not afford to go to war at any cost with dragons. Losing in this war was a certainty as the dragons had not one, not two, but three Supreme Ranks!

Dagassi, even if he was on bad terms with Mayzin, would never side with Darren and betray his own race. He had his own pride, and he was attached to the dragons. A prideful dragon like him couldn't be brought to the other side no matter what one did.

As for Arya, Graham knew that the humans were already walking on a thin rope. All thanks to Eric, the humans had no chance of establishing a good connection with this new Supreme Rank.

Graham was sweating hard in the Human Continent. He was glad he wasn't in Star Dragon City at the moment.

Mayzin didn't want to make things too hard for this delegate. He was just a messenger. The main person behind all of this was, of course, Darren.

She wanted to shame Darren as much as she could for slandering her best friend.

"Go to Darren and ask him for clarification. If I don't get an answer in two days, I'll consider it a declaration of war from the humans."

After this conversation ended, Graham rushed as fast as he could toward Darren to bring him this news.

Meanwhile, Mayzin started laughing after the delegate disappeared.

There was no one in the throne room other than her, and she could do this without worries.

"I wonder how the others would react if I told them the current scenario." Mayzin laughed again as she finished.

The situation with Darren was too funny, and she was sure that Agalea and Lucifer would be laughing their asses off as well if they knew of this.

"Tsk. It's a pity that I am a bad storyteller. Anyway, now that the talk is of Lilith, I wonder what she is doing. Should I call her?"

"No. Better not. I know she'll just remind me of the date with her son. Tsk. I shouldn't have had a bet."

"Speaking of her son, I wonder what he's doing. It has been quite a while since I saw that child, I mean, my nephew."

Mayzin extended her hand and took a tablet screen from the air in front. Being a dragon proficient in Space element, this was a small thing to do.

Mayzin opened her tablet. While browsing through it, she mumbled to herself.

"Let's see where he is."

Mayzin was a professional stalker like Lilith. She had kept a good watch on Lith after Arya's ascension. She just wanted to ensure that she didn't accidentally meet him.

Though she had such an excuse, the truth was, she was really interested in Lith.

The Purple-haired beauty had last seen Lith when Arya ascended. After that, she never had the chance to meet him as someone or something would interfere with their meeting.

It had been quite many years since she last saw Lith.

She was curious to see how the pretty-looking boy would look now that a few years had passed. Was he still the cute little boy, or had he grown up? She had no idea. This made her want to stalk him even more.

The screen in front of Mayzin soon changed, and she finally saw…
