Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

Lor thought.

The price of all this is to continuously provide this insatiable girl with blood rich in spiritual power, and to do everything possible to conceal her existence from the church and ensure her safety.

This is also to protect myself.

Oh, right……

There is also a financial cost to pay.

Lor looked at Isabella's overly gorgeous dress again, and then remembered the money he had just used to bribe the informant, and the cake that Isabella had snatched away at noon. He couldn't help but start to worry about his future financial situation.

With my current salary, I can't afford to support a young lady like this.

It seems that I need to sell off those holy water, talismans and other things as soon as possible.

…But for now, let’s focus on more pressing issues.

Find out the "Eternal Life Society" that has slipped through the net and eliminate the hidden danger.

"That warehouse isn't far from here, it only takes about ten minutes to walk there." Luo Er planned the route in his mind. "Without further delay, I'll go over and take a look at the situation."

"That's perfect. I also want to take advantage of the nice night and go for a walk or some shopping."

"What? You're going too?" Luo Er was stunned for a moment. "But your clothes... are too flashy, aren't they?"

"What are you talking about? Aren't beautiful clothes meant to be worn for others to see?" Isabella nonchalantly flicked her shiny silver hair. "The people of this city are blessed tonight to be able to appreciate my beauty and elegance!"

hiss……

Head down.

I am a suave, handsome and cool guy, but I have never seen such a narcissistic person!

Besides, what about the promised “seclusion from the world”?

Lor pretends to be an old man with a cell phone on the subway.

But to be honest, Isabella does have the capital to be narcissistic. Someone as naturally beautiful as her is indeed rare... In just a short while, Lor had already felt several burning gazes from passers-by.

"Okay, if you want to leave, let's go quickly." Lor urged. He didn't want to stay in this place for too long.

"Wait!" Isabella stretched out her arms toward Lor.

"...What do you want to do?"

"Of course you want me to hold your hand! Isn't this basic etiquette when dating a lady? Are you a gentleman?!"

gentleman?

Luo immediately thought of the computer hard drive that he had not had time to dispose of before traveling through time.

All I can say is that in a sense it is, but in another sense it is not.

As it is.

"This isn't a date." Lor hesitated for a moment, but considering Isabella's current attire, it would be even more unnatural if she wasn't held by someone's arm. He finally gave in.

"That's right. After all, we're master and servant, so there's a difference between superiors and subordinates..." Isabella tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "Then let's put it another way. Just think of me as 'walking my family around.'"

It’s worse than a master-servant relationship!

"Hey, Dependent, which way should we go?"

Who is walking whom around?

……

The night air is refreshing and refreshing.

The buildings on both sides of the street emit warm yellow lights.

feel good.

Isabella held Lor's hand, feeling a little emotional.

I thought I would never be able to enjoy all this again, never be able to experience the feeling of being "alive" again... But unexpectedly, the goddess of fate gave me a second chance.

Even though I'm just a disgusting "vampire".

"Look, Lor, there's a flower shop over there! And there are so many of my favorite roses displayed in front of the door!" Isabella said excitedly, "The sign next to it says 'Buy 99, Get 1 Free'. There's a discount!"

Please, can you be a little nervous? Do you really think we're on a date?

Lor rolled his eyes at her.

Also, this is called a discount?

He felt that this young lady had never seen the world.

But he still took out his wallet.

Of course, buying ninety-nine flowers is impossible. Lor, who just lost all his savings, is not that generous.

"Give me one."

"Thank you for your patronage!" The flower seller enthusiastically picked out a flower and began to wrap it. "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, and you two are so..."

He looked at the girl's expensive and gorgeous dress, then looked at Lor's plain coat, and couldn't bring himself to utter the word "match".

Instead, he gave Lor a thumbs up:

"Awesome, little brother."

Hey.

You think I'm a gigolo who lives off a rich woman, right?

The corners of Lor's mouth twitched slightly.

"Hehe, boss, you really have good judgment." Seeing this, Isabella rolled her eyes, leaned closer to Lor, and began to act, "My dear, you have to be nice to me~ If you make me unhappy, my tens of millions of dollars in wealth will have nothing to do with you~"

Wow, he has tens of millions of assets.

I would be grateful if you don’t make me owe tens of millions of dollars in debt.

"Here, your flowers!" Lor took the wrapped roses from the boss and stuffed them into Isabella's hands. "Hold them well, 'dear', don't drop them!"

"Why use such a weird emphasis? Can't you say it a little sweeter? It's too fake!"

"You know it's fake, too?"

"Humph, I don't understand the charm!"

Isabella complained as she brought the rose close to her nose and sniffed it.

That's right, all of this was just a spontaneous act... Lor and I only formed a master-servant relationship due to circumstances, and we can't say we have any feelings for each other... Tonight's action is not a date.

But it feels pretty good.

Even if it's fake.

12. Trap

"arrive."

About ten meters away from the warehouse, Lor and Isabella stopped.

This place is very secluded, far away from residential areas and commercial streets, and there is not even a single pedestrian on the road.

There's no need to worry about witnesses.

"First, we need to confirm whether the target is inside." Lor began to cast various protective spells on himself. This was necessary pre-battle preparation. "Isabella, you have sharp ears, don't you? Can you hear anything going on in the warehouse?"

"...It sounded like someone was snapping their fingers, and there was an electric sound."

Isabella closed her eyes, paused and listened for a moment, then replied.

"Well, there's no doubt that this is the person we're looking for." Lor nodded, thinking that this guy's ears were sharper than a dog's. "Besides this, is there any other movement?"

"No, he's the only one in there," Isabella concluded. "As long as we kill this guy without leaving any trace, the matter will be completely resolved, right?"

As he spoke, he strode towards the main entrance of the warehouse.

"Hey, wait! Are you planning to just walk in openly like this?" Lor was stunned for a moment. He hadn't finished applying the BUFF to himself yet.

"He's just a low-level transcendent, a small fry. What's there to worry about?" Isabella said without even turning her head.

Indeed, with her strength, there is no need for her to be as cautious as Lor.

The guy in the warehouse who was used to rubbing electric sparks with his hands was most likely just an ordinary first-level illegal transcendent. With Isabella's strength, she could easily crush him.

This was when she had just been resurrected and her strength was greatly reduced.

...Lor couldn't even imagine how strong Isabella was originally.

Having said that, wouldn't it be a bit too arrogant to just walk in like that? What if the other party noticed something was wrong and escaped through a secret door or tunnel? Wouldn't that make things even more complicated?

"Tsk, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have brought her here!"

Lor complained in his heart and tried to catch up with Isabella.

However, at this moment, a bone-chilling chill suddenly surged through my body.

Lor's whole body froze, and then he noticed that several ghostly, translucent hands had appeared around his body at some point, grabbing his wrists and ankles, and one hand was strangling his throat!

I can't move or make a sound!

Oops!

Lor's eyes widened.

This is undoubtedly some kind of extraordinary ability!

The target wasn't just one person; he had accomplices with him! Furthermore, this guy was very good at hiding; even Isabella, with her keen hearing, didn't notice him at all!

We have stepped into the trap without knowing it!

Luo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

This time, the strange voice in my head did not give a FLAG warning in advance.

But then again, that voice doesn't appear every time. Occasionally, it will provide important references at critical moments and help Lor avoid important options, but there is no pattern in the timing of its appearance and it cannot be relied upon at all.

Damn it, it was my own carelessness.

Lor couldn't help but grit his teeth in frustration.

Was it because I had unconsciously become dependent on that strange voice in my head? Or was it because the incredibly powerful Isabella was by my side that I had let my guard down?

No matter how you look at it, this is a fatal mistake!

At the same time, Isabella had reached the main door of the warehouse and kicked it open.

"Don't go in, it's a trap!"

Lor shouted in his heart.

At this moment, his throat was strangled and he was unable to warn Isabella at all.

……

"Huh, isn't Lor too cowardly?"

After realizing that her followers had not caught up, Isabella snorted in dissatisfaction.

Whatever.

After all, he was only a first-level transcendent. While he had a promising future, he was still just a small fry. At least he knew his own level, so it was normal for him to be cautious.

In that case, leave it to me!

I want to take this opportunity to show my cleverness, wisdom, and strength to that disobedient follower! This way, he will be completely impressed and will obey my orders from now on!

Kukuku.

Isabella put her hands behind her back, holding the rose that Lor bought for her in her palm, and walked leisurely towards the depths of the warehouse.

It was pitch dark in this place, with almost no light at all.

There were dusty shelves and miscellaneous items everywhere, like a maze.

...In the darkness, the sound of the target became clearer and clearer.

Heavy breathing, chattering teeth, and an increasingly rapid heartbeat.

"Haha, it seems this guy is quite frightened." Isabella's dark red eyes flashed with the fierce light of a beast. "Don't worry... your fear will soon be over."
