In front of the spacious hall of the castle, in front of the rich mural, there are five exquisite European-style armchairs. The five most powerful men of the Monlatou family took their seats one after another. The old man in the middle with a pale face, wrinkled skin, but meticulous appearance, and even more
It is the soul of the entire family.
Vlad Hawke Monratto.
The founder of the family and one of the seven members of the Holy Blood Council, his powerful perception enabled him to foresee the coming crisis and wake up from his hibernation for nearly three hundred years.
On both sides of Vlad, the four elders of the second generation of the family were sitting, Watson was not among them. The unlucky man who had just returned from ancient China in embarrassment stood on one side with a sad face, feeling ashamed and self-blame for the loss of soldiers and generals, and worried about the accident.
Yang Chen's powerful strength and the mysterious weapon in his hand made him uneasy.
"What do you want to say to everyone?" Vlad saw that Watson was hesitant to speak, and he didn't mind giving this descendant with outstanding talent and ability a chance to speak.
"I am willing to take responsibility for this incident." Watson took two steps forward, bowed deeply to Vlad, and waited for punishment.
Vlad waved his hand indifferently and said slowly: "Now is not the time to punish you, nor is it appropriate to take revenge. Those rude and savage long-haired beasts are our biggest concern."
Watson, who had received leniency, straightened his back, nodded gratefully, and returned to his original position. Compared with the old enemy who had been fighting to the death for thousands of years, the Arctic fox was indeed insignificant.
The plan to conquer the Arctic Fox is just to use the most powerful mercenary organization in the human world to temporarily contain the old enemy and buy more time for the seven major families to join forces.
"Dear Vlad, are they really going to kill you?" A blond beauty from the fourth generation of the family couldn't help but ask, with an uneasy look on her face. She had heard too many cruel stories about how the thousand-year-old enemy treated female members of the seven major families.
Every incident made her hair stand on end.
"Byn is alive and has already issued a declaration of war to the Holy Blood Council, so... they will come soon." Vlad replied slowly, but his expression was no longer as relaxed and calm as before, and was slightly solemn.
Byrne.
The leader of the wolf tribe.
In a battle three hundred years ago, many powerful men from the seven major families joined forces to severely injure the wolf clan with poisonous tactics, and drove Byrne into Mount Etna on the Sicilian Peninsula.
The men and women in the hall who participated in that fight and were lucky enough to survive today all changed their expressions when they heard the name Byrne, including Watson, who shuddered as if recalling an unforgettable nightmare.
"Victory will always belong to us..." Vlad stood up straight as he spoke, looking around, filled with pressure, and all the descendants of the Monratu family stood in awe and bowed in agreement.
At this time, a tall and handsome man in black quickly walked into the hall. He looked much younger than Watson, but his status was second only to the four elders of the second generation, and he controlled the secret combat power of the Monratu family. "
Dark Blood".
"The distinguished guest has arrived at the foot of the mountain." The tall man reported to Vlad.
"Get ready to welcome..." Vlad ordered calmly.
The faces of the men and women who felt suppressed by the name of Byrne instantly improved. The ancient powerful men of the seven major families were about to gather in this castle to discuss strategies to defend against the enemy. How could the cunning wolf clan dare to invade rashly?
As the sun sets in the west, the towering and inaccessible mountains block the afterglow of the setting sun. The black stone castle built on the mountainside becomes more and more gloomy. Two heavy doors slowly open. Vlad leads dozens of men and women to pour out. The mottled stone walls of the castle are neat and tidy.
There are more than a dozen black-clothed warriors lined up, and one-third of the Dark Blood's power is gathered here.
Few but better, the Vampires follow the philosophy of thousands of years. Until today, the seven major families all over the world have only five to six hundred members. This is another reason why they adhere to the way of hiding from the world. Even if they have super abilities, once exposed, they will be attacked by thousands of people.
Mortals hunt and kill by any means, but the consequences will be greater than disaster.
After all, in the past hundred years, mortals' technology has developed to a level that they are extremely afraid of. Mortals can destroy the earth dozens of times, but they...can't.
At the moment when the sun sank into the horizon, the core members of the seven major families finally gathered in front of Blackstone Castle. A hundred kilometers away, there was another team quietly going deep into this mountainous area, which was considered a forbidden place of death by the Scots.
………………………
Yang Chen went to the National Defense University to give lectures as usual, and spent weekends in Central Europe. A group of key people under his command had been away for many days, making final preparations for a crazy counterattack.
Counterattack requires a starting point.
What's more, the enemy is unimaginably powerful and cannot be messed with.
Either it doesn't move, or if it wants to move it has to be hit, which at least has a deterrent effect.
On the podium of the lecture theater, Mr. Li, whose status in the economics community is not inferior to that of Mr. Wu, was full of witty words and showed his profound knowledge. Unfortunately, Yang Chen was absent-minded and did not listen to a few words. He did not get rid of his complicated thoughts until the bell rang.
"Yang Zi, are you worried?" Xiaoyu asked Yang Chen while clearing away the items on the table.
Yang Chen smiled and didn't answer. It couldn't be said that he was thinking about how to deal with vampires. Xiaoyu knew that his old classmate hid too many secrets, so he quietly changed the subject to talk about Zhang Liang.
An official was investigated and several real estate businessmen were implicated. Zhang Liang's father was one of them and was detained for investigation. It was rumored that he might be involved in huge bribes, illegal fund-raising, and illegal profit-making.
There are many crimes, ranging from minor to serious.
Yang Chen sighed and felt that he was helpless, but he did not gloat about the misfortune, nor was he overflowing with sympathy and wanting to help the Zhang family. This man's affection and righteousness were limited to relatives, lovers, brothers who shared life and death, or close friends who were worthy of deep friendship.
After passing the last class of the weekend, most people were relieved and walked out in small groups. In the corridor, old director He Bing deliberately waited for Yang Chen.
Yang Chen was unfathomable. Since there was an opportunity for a close friendship, how could this shrewd couple miss it? When they saw Yang Chen coming out, they left a few acquaintances behind and greeted each other with smiles.
Several people who knew the old Dong He Bing looked at each other, wondering what the charm of Yang Chen, who was unknown and unknown, made the two of them so attracted to him.
"Yang Zi, I'm treating you tonight, let's have a nice dinner." Old Dong suggested with a smile.
Yang Chen smiled and said, "I'm not sure if there's anything going on tonight."
"You can leave at any time if something happens. Old Dong and I will never blame you." He Bing interrupted.
Yang Chen said yes with a smile, and old director He Bing was delighted. The four of them walked out of the building talking and laughing, and walked down the steps. Jin Peipei showed up unexpectedly, dragging the reluctant Zhang Liang.
A beautiful CCTV anchor flirted with a man, attracting attention.
There was a twist... He Bing was surprised and wanted to ask, but Jin Peipei couldn't wait to speak first, not to her, but to Yang Chen, "Yang Chen, something happened to Zhang Liang's family. I know you are special. Please help me."
he."
"Pei Pei, what are you doing? He... how can he help me?" Zhang Liang blushed. Jin Peipei brought his own affairs to Yang Chen and felt embarrassed.
"Didn't Yang Zi help you when you crashed the car?" Jin Peipei retorted with hatred. Zhang Liang was speechless, but he still didn't believe that Yang Chen had the incredible energy to save the old Zhang family.
More and more men and women were pouring out of the teaching building, silently watching.
