Chapter 242 Doubts
Christine's disappearance was within Li Ang's expectations. With the Plant Alliance's cooperation with the 9000 Group Army, her exposure was only a matter of time.

The only thing that puzzled him was that his backup plan had not been triggered yet, which meant that the executor had not tried to break the [Pseudo-Servant].

Of course, it's also possible that Christine hasn't been caught, but is just unable to reply to messages right now.

However, it doesn't matter to Li Ang which situation it is, since Christine has little value left and her death wouldn't cause much loss.

Stopping thinking about the ravenous vampire, Li Ang stood in the shadowy corner, quietly watching the alchemists inside the room.

As Karina said, she was indeed not very involved in this group's schemes regarding the Seven Kingdoms, otherwise Leon would not have let her go so easily.

Therefore, Karina knew very little about Master Ize.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Li Ang decided to personally visit the alchemists to see exactly what they were doing.

Under the effect of [Dual Hands], the group of alchemists in front of him, who were only at the third or fourth level, were quickly manipulated by him like puppets.

Li Ang walked straight out of the shadows to the elder in front of him and calmly began to review the other man's memories.

After avoiding certain sensitive information, he found the intelligence he needed without much effort.

This group of alchemists had once purchased artificial maids from the plant community, but unfortunately they hadn't figured out anything until they contacted Master Izawa.

Li Ang was not surprised by this. After all, as artificial maids gradually became popular in several surrounding star systems, many craftsmen with similar skills would study them, just as his laboratory also contained many artificial life forms for research.

As for the alchemy master, he was naturally attracted by the samples that the group was sending back to the headquarters of [Taiyi Miracle].

So far, things have been progressing normally, since no alchemist can refuse alchemy of the caliber of the Seven Kingdoms.

At least not at the stage Li Ang was in.

The only thing that puzzled him was that the person in front of him didn't know much about Izzy either, only that he was a character who was active decades ago and was skilled in biotransformation.

Then it was gone.

Where did this old relic come from?

This is clearly not normal; it's impossible for Ize, a sixth-order alchemy master, to only have this information.

Even if the other party has been inactive for many years, a giant like Taiyi Miracle would definitely keep records, and it is absolutely impossible for them to be lost.

So, is it because your level is too low to access critical information? Or is there another reason?

Thinking this, Li Ang stopped looking through the old man's memories.

He looked at the group of alchemists in front of him who were causing him trouble, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

After a moment, Li Ang let out a soft breath and regained his composure.

How to deal with these guys will have to wait until Master Ize arrives. If he's willing to communicate properly, then there's nothing more to say. But if he doesn't understand human language...
Li Ang glanced at the numbers on the panel, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

【Attributes: Physical Strength 22347.3, Mental Strength 22347.3, Energy 215455.1】

He's not someone to be trifled with either.

Moreover, even if he is no match for Li Ang, he is not entirely without options.

At worst, he could become a dragon knight and live off Sophia; given Sophia's circumstances, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

As he pondered this, Li Ang filled in the memories for the group of dazed alchemists.

Abilities like the "Dual Hands" are taboo in most worlds, so it's best not to reveal them.

Of course, this is a different story in some nascent worlds.

[Successfully manipulated another person using dual-wielding, skill proficiency +274].

【Dual-wielding: Beginner (8559/10000)】

As the memory was filled in, the eyes of the alchemists, led by the old man, regained their liveliness.

They exchanged a glance as if they were stuck, then continued their previous conversation.

"Lord Izawa."

No one noticed the young man standing beside them, nor did anyone notice that several minutes had passed unnoticed.

Seeing this, Li Ang showed a hint of satisfaction.

Due to frequent use, he has become increasingly proficient in using [Great Luo Insight] and [Dual-Handed Technique], and it shouldn't be long before he can raise their level to proficiency.

Feeling slightly better, Li Ang didn't plan to linger.

However, just as he was about to use the spatial ability of [Yomi Hirasaka], which is inherent to the [Bloodline Limit], to leave this place, he suddenly stopped.

'Christine?'

Through the [Great Luo Cave View], Li Ang looked at the blond vampire who had suddenly appeared on the planet Morabis and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

Of course, the blonde vampire isn't the main point; the main point is the middle-aged man with black hair next to her.

'Fifth level. The executive officer of the Blood Secret Corporation.'

Li Ang recognized the other party's identity with almost no effort, since the only person who would bring Christine to Morabis Star at this time was the executive officer of the Secret Blood Company stationed in the Bar Star Cluster.

However, as if he had seen a possibility, Li Ang's expression suddenly became strange, and then he disappeared from the room.

……

the other side.

Caius gazed at the endless mountains and forests outside the city and casually asked the woman beside him, "Are you sure it was that planetary governor who helped you break free of the blood pact?"

“According to the information I have, he is only at the fourth level.” Faced with her former superior’s question, Christine kept her mouth shut and did not dare to say a word.

As a [pseudo-servant] completely controlled by Li Ang, she naturally knows what she can and cannot say.

Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, Caius did not take it to heart.

Over the past few days, he had secretly observed the current situation of this former subordinate. Unfortunately, he could only see that the other party's life form had changed and he could no longer be considered a pure vampire. Perhaps this was the reason why he was able to break free from the influence of the blood pact.

Aside from these, Caius did not draw any further useful conclusions.

He did consider directly studying Christine, but ultimately chose to give up.

The reason is simple: he doesn't think that the being that can help vampires break free from their blood pacts would be completely unprepared for the current situation.

'It's only at the fourth energy level, so I wonder if it can help me break free of the blood pact.'

In fact, based on Christine's behavior when they first met, Caius already had some guesses about why she had become the way she was now.

Death is something we don't know if it's a necessary condition for.

After a moment of silence, Caius suppressed the turmoil in his mind and said to Christine, "You can go now."

".Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Christine, who was struggling with how to relay the message, immediately looked up, her face full of disbelief.

Seeing that the ghost before her didn't seem to be joking, she tentatively asked, "Then, Lord Caius, I...I'll be leaving?"

"Ah."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Christine instantly exploded into a cloud of black mist and disappeared without a trace.

Caius stood there watching his former subordinate disappear from sight.

Christine was useless to him, and besides, with his strength, where could she possibly run to?

The reason Caius didn't go with him to meet the planetary governor was simply because he wanted to observe the target secretly.

He will adopt different attitudes depending on the target's different reactions.

Thinking of this, Caius was lost in thought. This was the first time in so many years that he had seen any hope of breaking free from the blood pact.

As a fifth-level powerhouse, he naturally yearned for freedom.

Unfortunately, judging from Christine's condition during this period, even if she breaks free from the blood pact, she will still be controlled by another person.

'It would be great if this restriction didn't exist.'

Thinking of this, Caius couldn't help but sigh.

If things are beyond his control, he can only report to the Lord.

To be honest, once this so-called plant alliance took a big bite out of the company, the Lord's attention would inevitably turn to this place sooner or later.

If the company weren't currently preoccupied with another matter, it wouldn't have been him who came; it would have been that person.
As if contemplating some extremely terrifying scenario, Caius immediately stopped himself from thinking about it.

With mixed feelings, the middle-aged man with black hair transformed into a cloud of black mist and disappeared into the shadows of the house.

Based on intelligence, he naturally knew where the Governor's Mansion of Morabis was located, and also knew that the hidden place beneath the Governor's Mansion was where the target usually stayed.

Caius didn't think that a mere fourth-level professional could stop him from spying.

In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the location of the Governor's Mansion.

Looking at the metal palace before him, which was considered rather understated for a governor, Caius couldn't help but frown slightly.

'Strange, why can't I find it?'

After confirming that it had not missed any details, the black mist lingered in a shadowy spot and began to doubt the accuracy of the intelligence.

'Could the intelligence be wrong?'

'And Christine, where did her presence suddenly disappear?'

The more Caius thought about it, the more his brow furrowed.

Just then, a very subtle fluctuation not far from the governor's mansion suddenly caught his attention.

The black-haired vampire looked in the direction from which the fluctuations came, but only saw silence.

'.? '

Caius didn't think his senses were wrong, so he immediately decided to go to the location of the fluctuation to investigate.

He soon arrived at his destination.

And indeed, just as he suspected, something strange did happen here.

Following the wave, Caius immediately used his ability to 'squeeze' inside.

The next moment, the scene before him changed. The originally flat ground instantly became pitted and uneven, as if it had been chewed by a dog.

Before Caius could react, a shrill howl suddenly entered his ears.

The black-haired vampire instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw a metal ball with a cold luster hurtling towards him at an extremely terrifying speed.

And right behind the metal sphere was... uh... a dragon?
But why is this dragon eating dirt?

wrong
The fifth energy level!?
Upon sensing the aura emanating from the other party, Caius's expression instantly changed drastically.
