Heir to the Kingdom of 1.4 billion people

Chapter 125 A Deal Between Vampires
Sunset Street.

"Please give me two wheat cakes."

Raphael handed two copper coins to the middle-aged man at the stall.

"Are you from out of town, sir?"

Mike took the copper coin and was about to pack the pancakes when he caught a glimpse of the purple-haired girl and the expressionless bald man behind Raphael, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

After all, the three of them had very unique appearances, and once you saw them, it was hard to forget them, but he had no impression of them before.

Raphael nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

"Since you are a guest from out of town, I will give you an extra wheat cake."

Mike smiled and picked out three still-steaming pancakes, packed them up, and handed them over.

“Thank you.” This was the first time Raphael had encountered such a situation, and he hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Guest, may the gods bless you and you have a wonderful time in Twilight City," Mike said warmly.

Crack! Crack!

"That man who sells pancakes is really a good person."

While munching on her tortilla like a hamster, Ladis mumbled something indistinctly.

"Finish what you're eating before you speak." Raphael gently tapped the girl's head.

"But it's true, it's the first time I've ever seen a vendor give away extra food." He also remarked softly.

“This kind of thing only happens in the food-rich South,” Lorne muttered as he silently finished his wheat cake.

"Sigh, to be honest, I quite like this city. Even though it's Lord Simon's order, I really don't want to ruin it."

After finishing the wheat cake, Ladis said somewhat dejectedly.

Upon hearing this, Raphael's expression immediately changed. He abruptly shoved the untouched pancake into the girl's mouth, interrupting her.

"Uh huh"

Then, Raphael looked nervously at Lorne beside him, as if afraid that the other party was about to cause trouble.

"Thank you for the pancakes," Lorne replied casually.

These words immediately put Raphael at ease, and the girl finally pulled the biscuit out of her mouth, glaring at him with a resentful expression.

"Uncle Lorne, how did Lord Simon turn you into a vampire?"

After finishing another pancake, Lartis looked at the bald, muscular man's body and his arms, which were thicker than her thighs, and couldn't contain her curiosity, so she asked him a question.

After all, the other person's image was completely different from her and her brother's.

Raphael frowned, about to reprimand her sternly, but Lorne stopped him by pressing his shoulder.

Seeing this, he didn't say anything more, after all, this was a good opportunity to deepen team cohesion.

Most importantly, Raphael knew that Lorne was undoubtedly the strongest of the three.

“I was once a gladiator in the Bloodfang Arena. Lord Simon traded his freedom for my loyalty,” Lorne said succinctly.

"Wow, Brother Lorne, you must have met Hagoros up close, right? What kind of person is he?"

Ladis said with sparkling eyes, her pretty face filled with excitement.

Not long ago, she had witnessed Hagoromo's heroic figure in the Bloodfang Arena. His perfect and strong body, like that of a god-like hero, left a great shock on the inexperienced girl.

Hagoromo's incredible power to tear apart the named monster also resonated with the young girl's admiration for strength.

Therefore, after only one meeting, Radith was completely captivated and became a huge fan of Haggix.

This is not uncommon, because in the slave capital, there are countless fervent female fans of Haggix.

There were even rumors that several noblewomen were pooling their money to bid a sky-high price for Haggix at a slave auction a few months later, intending to use him as a bed slave.

“He is very, very strong.” After a long silence, Lorne finally spoke slowly.

"Before being turned into a vampire by Lord Simon, I was a berserker of the same rank as him, but I didn't even have the courage to throw a punch in front of him."

Recalling the opponent's massive body, which was more than twice as strong as his own, and that terrifying aura like a dragon, even Lorne, who had been expressionless before, had a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Is it really possible for humans to give birth to such monsters?
"Of course I know that, Brother Lorne, could you tell me what kind of person he is? What does he like to eat? What kind of girl does he like?"

Ladis kept pressing for answers, her face full of anticipation.

“All I know is that he must have had a very tiring life,” Lorne replied after a moment’s thought.

"Eh? What does that mean?" Radith asked, puzzled.

“I was fortunate enough to live in the dungeon next to his. Back then, after each day’s gladiatorial combat, he would repeatedly bang his body against the wall, causing the entire dungeon to shake precariously,” Lorne said with lingering fear.

Back then, he lived in constant fear, worrying about being sent out to fight Hagoromo and being killed by a single punch, or about being buried alive in the dungeon when Hagoromo crashed into it.

He was so desperate that he almost knelt down and begged Haggix to stop crashing into him.

Fortunately, a Morning Star-level berserker was still valuable. Not long after, he was summoned by Lord Simon and asked if he was willing to be turned into a vampire. In order to survive, he agreed without hesitation.

"Waaah, Lord Hagoros has really suffered so much! God above, when I return to the slave capital, I will definitely use love to save him!"

The vampire girl said with teary eyes.

Raphael opened his mouth, but then closed it again after thinking for a moment.

After all, he knew what the Crescent Moon rank at twenty-one years old represented: it meant that the Radiant Moon rank, hailed as the pillar of the kingdom, had a promising future.

If Ladis can truly move Haggix with love, then she has definitely struck gold.

I wonder if Radice's small body can really withstand it?

But vampires, if they get damaged, they can regenerate, right?

Snapped!
Raphael silently slapped himself, which finally dispelled those blasphemous thoughts.

Ladis and Lorne gave the blond youth a strange look, and only looked away after he shook his head to indicate that he was alright.

"And how were you turned into vampires by Lord Simon?" Lorne asked, equally curious about their past identities.

“My father was a wealthy merchant. He and my mother died in an accident during a trip. Relatives came to seize our inheritance, but Lord Simon drove them away and adopted us.”

Before Raphael could answer, Ladis spoke first.

She respected Simon very much because she was saved, and another reason was that Simon was really super handsome!

Unlike most other Clay people who have hooked noses and look stingy, the Clay people are nothing like other Clay people.

“Before being transformed into a vampire, my profession was knight, while Radith was a magician,” Raphael added.

“Magician, fighter, knight—it seems Lord Simon had given this matter serious consideration before sending us as a team,” Lorne said thoughtfully.

“Yes, the three of us Morning Star warriors are more than capable of taking down Red Fox Castle, which is now unprotected by the Crescent Knights,” Radis said casually.

"Be cautious. The Southern Territory is Sosia's only paradise, and it might be full of hidden talents. We can't guarantee that some powerful figures won't interfere," Raphael said cautiously.

"Brother is such a coward~" Ladis made a face at him, then happily ran ahead with the tea bag in her hand.

"Having a younger sister like this, it seems you've had a lot of worries about her."

Looking at the worried expression on the blond youth's face, Lorne sighed.

“After all, she is my last family member.” Raphael’s lips curled up slightly, a bright smile flashing across his handsome face.

"Brother Lorne, if we encounter a dead end in this operation, I will sacrifice myself to cover your retreat. Can you take Radis with you and escape together?"

"Good deal, closed."
