From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 460 The Bloodline Prince, the Betrayed Man

The Bloodline Clan has a particular fondness for blood; the blood of their own kind or the blood of other creatures can satisfy them.

Therefore, eating bloody food is a major characteristic of people of bloodline.

Paradoxically, as humans, we prefer cooked food most of the time.

Therefore, some bloodline humans would request chefs to create dishes that are full of blood and have meat that is partially cooked.

Even a rare steak doesn't meet the required blood content.

Therefore, the purchasing assistant heard from the chef that the estate owner wanted to eat dishes with a higher blood content.

The chef was bothered by this strange request, but the pay was too good and the work was easy.

Therefore, the chef has been improving his cooking techniques and recently asked his purchasing assistant to buy live chickens.

In this city, the turkeys you can buy are basically already slaughtered.

Once the turkey has been slaughtered and the blood has been drained, it's difficult to prepare dishes that are still bloody.

If it's a live chicken, it's different. Don't bleed it; just slaughter it directly, leaving the turkey's blood in the blood vessels and muscles. Then, cook it quickly to medium-rare, which should meet the boss's requirements.

……

These were all things that Lu Heng subconsciously gleaned from the purchasing assistant.

Although the purchasing assistant had never met the manor owner, based on the information he knew, he could confirm one thing: a blood descendant lived in the manor.

Such unusual dietary habits could only be found in people of bloodline.

Combined with the fact that the estate was filled with Red Spider Lilies, Lu Heng became increasingly convinced that Will Berg was inside.

After careful consideration, Lu Heng said in the communication channel: "Will Berg is most likely in the manor. I will use the shapeshifting orb to transform into the purchasing assistant and drive straight in."

"Everyone be prepared to meet outside the manor, maintain constant contact, and seek support from the war zone if necessary."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The team members and the Elf team answered in unison.

Lu Heng took the purchasing assistant's cell phone, keys, and other electronic devices, then pulled him out of the driver's seat and locked him in another car driven by a member of the Longwei Special Forces.

Afterwards, Lu Heng used the Transformation Orb to transform into the appearance of a purchasing assistant, and then drove the car back to the manor.

Because of the electronic key, the manor gates opened automatically.

Lu Heng drove the car into the garage, parked it, and then, following the workflow he had seen during his subconscious intrusion, took the ingredients from the trunk and delivered them to the kitchen.

A disgruntled voice came from the kitchen: "Why are you so late today?"

Lu Heng remained indifferent, refusing to answer his question, and directly used [Subconscious Intrusion].

The chef froze for a moment, then his body slowly went limp and collapsed.

Lu Heng stepped forward to support him and helped him sit in a chair. Then he closed his eyes and examined his subconscious memories.

The chef's subconscious images began to change, revealing his daily work.

His daily work involves preparing food with a high blood content and then delivering it to the deepest hall in the manor.

The hall was very spacious, but the lighting was rather dim.

He would arrange the prepared dishes on the long table according to the boss's requirements.

Previously, we only made meat dishes such as turkey and steak, but recently we also need to make some cakes, drinks and other snacks.

The requirements for making desserts are relatively simple, as there are no special requirements and it is not required to make a cake covered in blood.

It's 11:30 a.m. now, and lunchtime is just around the corner.

I was a little late coming back from shopping today, so I didn't manage to cook a single dish.

However, this is not important.

Lu Heng used the Transformation Pearl again, transforming into the appearance of a chef, and then placed a raw turkey on a tray and covered it.

When it was time for lunch, Lu Heng picked up the turkey tray and strode into the depths of the manor.

The manor is very quiet, and every employee working here strictly adheres to staying within their designated work area.

Only employees who have overlapping work experience will have the opportunity to talk.

Lu Heng carried the tray, walked to the hall at the deepest part of the manor, pushed open the door, and stepped inside.

Just as I saw in the subconscious image, the hall was dimly lit.

The sunlight streaming through the door was the brightest ray of light.

After adjusting to the brightness, the sunlight streaming in from outside the door allows for a clear view of the hall.

In the empty hall, there was a three-meter-long table, which was in the style of classical Gothic.

At this moment, two people are sitting at opposite ends of the long table.

To be precise, it was a person and an... elf.

As expected, the person who appeared here was none other than Will Berg.

When Lu Heng saw Will Berg, his heart beat a little faster, partly out of excitement and partly out of confusion.

The elf is Fiona.

However, Fiona was facing away from the door, so Lu Heng could only see the back of her head and her pointed ears.

Will Berg seemed to hear Lu Heng's quickened heartbeat, glanced up at him, and his gaze was as cold as that of a cold-blooded animal.

Perhaps it's because chefs used to feel goosebumps when they walked in here, so it's normal for their heart rate to increase.

Lu Heng placed the tray in the middle of the long table, opened the lid, and took out a knife to start cutting the turkey meat.

This turkey was completely raw, without any cooking.

However, this did not seem to anger Will Berg. Instead, he said naturally, "Fiona, you should learn to accept blood food. Fresh blood can satisfy our most primal desires."

Fiona sat there with a cold expression, not responding to his words.

Lower-ranking bloodlines are not puppets. When higher-ranking bloodlines do not use bloodline suppression, lower-ranking bloodlines are normal intelligent beings with thoughts, self-awareness, and personal preferences.

Fiona was injected with a bloodline conversion drug, and her body has already undergone bloodline conversion, but her mind is still resisting.

Will Berg continued, “People should be loyal to their class. We are now Bloodline, and we should be loyal to Bloodline. The world we yearn for is when Bloodline rules the Blue Planet, rules the Quel'dorei, and even rules more worlds.”

While Lu Heng was cutting up the turkey meat, he inadvertently turned his head and glanced at Fiona.

Their eyes met, then naturally looked away, showing no sign of anything amiss.

Lu Heng turned to look at Fiona's actions, but this did not arouse Will Berg's suspicion.

Because this chef often looks at things this way, it's normal to take a second look when you see a beautiful elf.

Will Berg didn't pay attention to Lu Heng, because he never focused his energy on a servant. Besides, everyone who worked at this manor was killed and buried in the Red Spider Lily's flowerbed after their work was finished.

This flower, which symbolizes death and reincarnation, needs to be watered with fresh blood to grow more beautifully.

Will Berg continued speaking to Fiona: "The Abyss Battlefield will end in two days, and we need to consider a problem now."

“You have already been transformed into a bloodline. After returning to the continent of Quel'dorei, you will definitely be captured by the elves, or even killed.”

"Therefore, I have informed the bloodline of Quel'dorei that they will meet you upon your return and help you escape from the Elven race."

"Afterwards, you will become the progenitor of the bloodline among the elves. Cheers to the growth of the bloodline race."

As he spoke, he raised the blood-red wine in his hand and took a small sip.

Lu Heng was slightly surprised as he listened to Will Berg's words.

Will Berg has already begun planning Fiona's return.

There are only two days left in this Abyss Battlefield, or to be precise, one and a half days.

After the Abyss Battle ends, Fiona will be teleported back to the continent of Quel'dorei along with the other Elf Conquerors.

Fiona has already been injected with the bloodline conversion potion, and arranging for the bloodline race to help her escape is indeed the best strategy for the expansion of the bloodline race.

Once Fiona defectes from the Elven race, a group of Blood Elf will emerge. Over time, they may very well transform into Blood Demons, just like the Goat-Headed People.

Will Berg seemed to notice something was wrong with Lu Heng and asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

Lu Heng's technique for cutting turkey was indeed not very good; the pieces of meat he cut were far inferior to those of a chef.

The plate already had three pieces cut into pieces. Lu Heng didn't care about his knife skills and simply took the plate over.

Will Berg picked up a fork, pierced a piece of turkey, and put it in his mouth to chew, without any hesitation because the turkey was completely raw.

After swallowing a mouthful of turkey, he put down his fork and said in an icy tone, "Your cooking is far inferior to that of a chef. Who are you? Reveal your true identity."

Lu Heng was already standing in front of him; this was the most dangerous distance.

Therefore, with a flash of sword light, the Aurora Blade had already pierced his chest, cutting his body in two.

Bang!
Blood splattered, and a shockwave of blood erupted from Will Berg's body.

His two halves of his body flew backward, blood pooling together and forming a bloody bond that pulled his body back and pieced it back together.

Then, a pair of blood-red wings spread from his back, and he floated in mid-air, his eyes shooting out crimson light.

Lu Heng unleashed a sword strike, having already reverted to his true form.

Although this sword strike did not kill Will Berg directly, it had taken one of his lives.

Bloodline races are inherently resilient, and bloodline princes possess the ability to heal themselves with their blood, even if their bodies are severed, they can reassemble themselves.

However, this will consume a lot of his blood.

Therefore, even for princes of bloodline, the number of times their blood can heal itself is limited.

Will Berger's face showed anger: "It was you."

Actually, the two had never met before; this was their first meeting.

However, they have already competed against each other many times before.

Will Berger looked puzzled and asked, "How did you find this place?"

In his view, he was very safe hiding in the manor. The entire manor had little contact with the outside world, and basically only one person went out to make purchases.

With such a vast territory as the White Eagle Federation, finding a single person from a sea of ​​people without any clues or intelligence is virtually impossible.

After Lu Heng finished his first sword strike, he slightly changed his standing position so that he could see Fiona out of the corner of his eye.

Last time, Fiona had already become Will Berg's bloodline henchman, and more than half a month later, this suppression by the superior bloodline will only become stronger.

Therefore, we need to be constantly vigilant against Fiona's attacks.

Lu Heng was not in a hurry to attack because the news of Will Berg and Fiona being in the manor had already been spread.

The Dragonweather team and the Elf army are surrounding the manor, and Will Berg will not be able to escape without the support of an astonishing number of Blood Demons.

The longer the special operations team has to prepare, the higher the chance of the operation succeeding.

Hearing Will Berger's question, Lu Heng also felt that the process had gone too smoothly, and replied:
"The address you got from Levi's mercenaries suggests your secrecy isn't very good."

Will Berg's expression became even more puzzled: "Impossible. Levi's mercenaries couldn't possibly know the address of this manor."

The Levi Mercenary Group is different from Starscream. Starscream is a mercenary group controlled solely by the Berg family, belonging to their own private army.

The Levi Mercenary Group is jointly controlled by several forces, and they cannot possibly know more about the Berg family's secrets than the Starscream Mercenary Group.

Lu Heng quickly figured out the reason: "It seems you've been betrayed."

This manor is indeed very hidden. Without the address provided by Levi's mercenaries, relying solely on the lead of Starscream and Lily, it would have taken months to find it.

Although Will Berg is well hidden, as long as he is still on Earth, someone will definitely know about him.

Especially those close to him and the forces that influence him.

Therefore, Lu Heng had already guessed the most likely answer: someone had sold Will Berg.

Will Berg's face contorted with rage as he roared, "Who is it? That damned Lawrence Phoenix? How dare he!"

The person Lu Heng thought of was Lawrence Phoenix, the head of the Phoenix family.

The Phoenix family owns a portion of the Levi Mercenary Group.

In other words, the Phoenix family had people planted in Levi's mercenary group.

Both the Berg and Phoenix families are members of the ASE Alliance and have many connections in business and mercenary organizations.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the Phoenix family knew Will Berg's secret.

In other words, if the Phoenix family wanted to betray Will Berg, they could deliberately expose his hiding place.

During the raid on Levi's mercenary base, Lawrence Phoenix even took the initiative to invite people to talk and offered to cooperate with the interrogation.

At the time, it seemed that the Phoenix family wanted Paulwell's trusted confidants.

Lu Heng now thought of a more likely purpose: Lawrence Phoenix wanted to ensure that information about Will Berg's hiding place could be transmitted.

After all, once the two sides start fighting, with Lu Heng's combat power, one sword strike would kill a large number of people.

If the Levi mercenary carrying the information dies, the information will be buried.

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed possible that the Phoenix family betrayed Will Berg.

The reason why the Phoenix family betrayed Will Berg is also quite obvious.

Previously obtained intelligence mentioned that Will Berg was extremely arrogant in the ASE Alliance and had already offended all the other financial families.
