Werewolf Hunting Rules.

Chapter 579 Spring Outing Plan
Charlie came to the Melcher's house alone.

A seasoned criminal like him has come to understand that relying on combat power for one's safety is completely unreliable. He and the Siladin brothers, as extraordinary individuals, are considered talented in the secret arts, but they are far from being true geniuses. Even if they put all their energy into improving their combat power, how many people could they possibly be worth?

As a notorious fugitive, once his location is exposed, the bounty hunters chasing him will be either equally skilled superhumans or large groups of gunmen.

The Sierra brothers faced a similar situation.

Rather than honing their martial arts skills, the safest approach for them is to conceal themselves, even if it means being scattered and lacking protection.

The vampire came knocking not because concealment was useless, but precisely because he hadn't achieved absolute concealment.

Charlie had taken steps to eliminate his scent on the way to avoid being tracked by the hounds. His choice of the Melcher family was not only due to their thin friendship, but also because Melcher still possessed artifacts and amulets made by his ancestors. These artifacts were effective against cursed undead creatures, but apart from Melcher, no one knew how to use them.

Moreover, the Melcher family has already parted ways with the Kules family on the surface, and their relationship is more distant than that of strangers. Relying on them here would be unexpected by most enemies, and even if they were discovered, it would not be easy to implicate the Kules.

Nobles love to delay paying their debts and find ways to refuse to make final payments; it's best not to give them an excuse—this is Charles's experience.

Koules was a man of good faith, but the unexpected death of Athena Berlusconi corrected this good habit of his.

Charlie huddled in the guest room Melcher had assigned him, enjoying cigarettes and wine. The vampire attack three hours earlier seemed like a distant, forgotten memory. He knew, in truth, that Melcher wouldn't allow him to stay for three days and draw danger over—though he was confident he'd shaken off those people.

This old friend has started a family and has become less interesting in his speech and actions.

So he had to find a way to make Melcher understand that it was good for him to live here, for example, to avoid some disasters.

Charlie soon found what he was looking for in Melcher's house.

"For everlasting friendship"

In a separate bedroom decorated in a young woman's style, there is a piece of paper with the above text written on it, next to which are three simple line drawings of young girls, with three names written below each of the drawings.

Alice Melcher
"Hmm~ Old friend, you actually have a daughter." Charlie held the piece of paper, a happy smile playing on his lips.

Nothing concerns parents more than the safety of their child, and she would be a useful tool to persuade her father.

He then looked further down and saw two more names: "Lant Yasser" and "Donna Bello".
Donna Bello.

Charlie's smile vanished.

Is it a coincidence? In the Sildin brothers' report, what was the name of the female student who took in Joseph?

"The holidays are coming up soon, where are you guys going to go?"

Xin Jiani Women's College
In the candlelight, Alice lay on her dormitory bed like a noblewoman, propping her head up as she observed her friend.

Lant sat on the edge of the bed reading, while Donna paced anxiously—she still hadn't received Clayton's reply.

Upon hearing Alice's words, they snapped out of their current state and began to seriously consider this crucial question, which was as important as "what to eat tomorrow."

The horse racing festival is about to begin, and the school is on holiday for three days. They need to figure out how to spend these days.

The horse race is a public event open to everyone, but unfortunately, the three young girls in this dormitory are not very interested in horse racing. Out of respect for the judge, Mr. Bello, the assistant veterinarian, Mr. Melcher, and the enthusiastic spectator, Mr. Ashley, they all agreed that they should watch the opening ceremony on the morning of the first day, but otherwise they have free time.

Lant looked up from the book.

"How about we have a picnic first, and then go fishing this afternoon?"

“Fishing is nice, but there are five hours in the afternoon,” Alice said.

“Let’s go to the department store,” Donna suggested. “I think you have some spare change. Maybe we can buy some necessities or clothes.”

"Go to the department store?" Lant seemed hesitant. "Maybe I can't."

"Ah!" Donna suddenly exclaimed, "I forgot that I spent a lot of money on getting Cherry new clothes last time, and now I don't have much change left."

She has her own horse, everyone knows that.

“We can take a look first, even just looking would be good.” Alice sat up excitedly, propping herself up on her thighs with her hands. “Actually, I’ve never been to a department store before. Dad insists that I can only go in with someone, but he’s always busy, and Mom doesn’t like going to crowded places. This time we can go by ourselves, and when we’re tired, we can stay at my house. I have spare rooms.” Hearing their words, Lant relaxed, readjusted his tone, and tried to join in their daydreaming.

The itinerary for the second day was quickly decided: they would go to a museum, any museum would do, as long as it could embody their yearning for art and their thirst for knowledge. Then they would visit the city library, and after that, they would stroll around the university. That way, they wouldn't have to spend much money for the whole day except for the museum entrance fees.

That night, they stayed at Lant's house.

The third day was quickly set out: they would go to see a play in the morning. Mr. Melcher loved the performing arts, and one of his friends, a theater owner, often sent tickets, so this was also free.

In the afternoon, they went to the horse race to see the results, and then went home with their father.

When the girls finished their discussion, it was almost time for them to go to sleep. The candle had just stubbed out, so they lay down on the bed, covered themselves with blankets, and waited silently for it to go out on its own.

Darkness arrived as expected.

"Goodnight," they said to each other.

The laughter and chatter ended, and in the stillness, Donna opened her eyes, only to see a hazy, swirling darkness. Thoughts welled up in her mind, and the passion that had just reached its peak was slowly swallowed up by the dark night, leaving behind only remnants of sadness.

She didn't close her eyes to go to Brakola; she had things to do.

Once her two friends' breathing had evened out, Donna got up, put on her shoes, and quietly pushed open the door to go out.

Even at night, gunmen patrolled the Cincinnati Women's College. When they saw Donna, they were initially surprised, but then recognized her as a member of the family of Clayton Bello, the senior officer who worked for them. They let her pass and asked if she needed any help.

Donna thanked them and declined their help, as she was going to a place not far from the school and would be there soon.

Near the college is a cluster of buildings that was once as bustling as a small town, but now its population is only a third of what it was at its peak.

The small house that Clayton rented for Clara is right here.

Donna pushed open the door; it was completely dark inside.

Clara.

Without delay, the sound of limbs rubbing against the ground rang out, and a human head, dragging its shoulders and two hands, appeared on the ground within the moonlight, its innocent face looking expectantly at Donna.

Donna closed the door, cutting off the light. In the darkness, she used her psychic powers to find a match and light the candle.

Spending time with Clara was what she had to do.

She got along so well with her friends, and it was precisely because they got along so well that she felt she was being unfair to Clara.

Alice and Lant are her friends, while Clara is her family. She met Clara earlier and they even fought side by side. She probably prefers Clara and spends more time with her.

If Clara had a complete body, then this would be the case.

Unfortunately, Tyrion's current mutilated body cannot be explained by disability or deformity when exposed to sunlight, which means they don't have much time to actually spend together. Although Clayton likes Clara, Donna holds a higher place in his heart. He prevents her from living a comfortable life at home and instead sends her to protect Donna, which can be called a sacrifice.

The faster Donna's friendships progressed, the stronger her guilt became because of her.

Donna felt particularly heartbroken when she thought about how she and her friends could go out and have fun, while Clara had to hide from the world forever.

Tonight, her guilt reached its peak, which is why she decided to take the initiative to find Clara.

Aside from fighting, they had little in common. The only things Clara enjoyed besides fighting were eating—she was practically a carbon copy of a werewolf. Even eating wasn't exactly enjoyable; it merely temporarily spared her the eternal hunger caused by her failure to kill Joe Manny. All Donna could do, besides providing companionship, was teach Clara to read. Clara, instigated by Clayton to surpass Joseph intellectually, did study diligently, but it's hard to say she derived any joy from it.

Two hours later, Donna also had to prepare to go back to rest.

Before leaving, she thought about how unfair it was that she was going to have fun with her friends on holiday, while Clara could only follow behind invisibly, witnessing these happy moments that had nothing to do with her.

Donna felt uneasy, and after much deliberation, she made a decision.

When the three-day holiday begins, she will also give Clara a day off.

During those three days, the little devil no longer needed to stay by her side to protect her, but could do whatever he wanted and find things that made him happy.
