Crimson Overlord

Orpheus managed to rent a villa successfully; it had five rooms, an open living room, a dining kitchen, and a small pool. It would cost 150 credits for one year, and he paid for two years.

Currently, Orpheus was sitting in the open living room while Amber, who had already moved in, was busy cooking tonight’s dinner.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and Orpheus opened the door even without standing. Lilith walked in and immediately kneeled before Orpheus.

”Greetings, my Lord; Ancestor Nix has sent me to assist you. Feel free to order as you see fit.”

At first, Lilith was reluctant to leave her master, but her orders were absolute. She had thought it would be another boring mission, but when she saw Orpheus, every cell inside her body screamed that she must obey this man. She couldn’t go against him even if she wished because his status was above that of her master, the Blood Queen; Orpheus was a supreme vampire, and serving such a being was the most noblesse thing.

”Good, sit. This will be your home starting from now on.” Orpheus ordered before calling Amber over. She was surprised when she saw Lilith.

After giving Amber a quick summary, Orpheus disappeared.

Quickly Amber and Lilith got along well. They were both vampires serving the same master, after all.

Orpheus came before dinner, and the three enjoyed a peaceful dinner; right after they finished, Orpheus gave his first order.

”Lilith, go conquer one gang tonight.”

Lilith nodded before disappearing.

Before Amber could ask for what purpose he gave this order. Orpheus took her han,d and they stepped across space. From the space, they could see Lilith moving out of the academy, and soon she was in the capital; she used a teleportation scroll to arrive in the capital quickly, then she visited a bar.

”Just wait, and you’ll understand,” Orpheus said, not going into the details.

Lilith sat around the counter and ordered a few drinks. Seeing that she was a lonely woman sitting and drinking, some men tried to make a move, but she ignored them. After drinking for a while she left the bar and began wandering the street.

Naturally, Orpheus and Amber followed her but had no way of knowing this.

After a while, the streets became desolate. Almost nobody else was in the streets other than Lilith, and the few that sometimes walked near her, seemed hurried and a bit afraid.

Soon, Lilith noticed a few gazes. Gazes filled with malice and greed directed toward her. Robbers. She acted as if she hadn’t noticed anything and kept walking.

A few minutes later, some people were following her. It looks like they can’t wait anymore.

Lilith’s curved her lips up. Her prey was here.

She looked back briefly and feigned a frightened look. Then, she started to walk faster, as though trying to escape from the people following her.

However, they also accelerated. As such, she was soon surrounded in a dark alley.

“Hehe, What do we have here? You look lost, beauty.” The one that seemed as the leader spoke.

“W-W-What are you doing?” Lilith stuttered.

Amber, who was watching everything from somewhere, couldn’t help but cover her mouth; Lilith was such an actor that she almost got fooled.

Meanwhile, there was someone oblivious to this. The leader grinned. “What are we doing? Haha, brothers, the beauty is asking what are we doing!”

“Hahahahaha!!!” The robbers laughed mockingly and pulled daggers and shortswords out of their belts.

“Beauty, I suggest you make things easier for us. Give us all you have and obediently follow us.”

“Hahahahaha!!!”

“Yes, we will give you the ride of your life!”

“I can’t wait to taste this white-haired beauty. It’s said that white-haired women scream louder. We are about to test it.”

“Hahahahaha!”

“Yes, Yes, I’ve also heard that rumor from a senior. He must have experienced it himself.”

“Hahahahahaha!”

Lilith looked around, then at the robbers before lowering her head. “I-I h-have a better suggestion.”

“Oh? I want to hear it.” The leader looked at her curiously, like a cat playing with a mouse.

“You can, you can… You can die.”

Then, She lifted my face.

Her eyes shone with an ominous red color, and her lips curved up in a wicked smile. Abundant origin flowed through her body, filling it with overwhelming strength.

“Careful!” The leader shouted, but it was too late. In the next instant, an overwhelming pressure filled the surroundings.

The robbers’ faces paled. They finally realized they had offended someone they could not afford to offend. But even if they want to apologize now, the pressure around them prevented them from speaking.

Only the leader, a Level 5 origin master, could barely move. However, when he saw Lilith’s smiling face, his legs trembled.

“G-Great beauty, I beg for your forgiveness.”

“Oh? But, why would I forgive you?”

Cold sweat flowed through the leader’s back. He could feel the surrounding twisting, the result of a crazy amount of origin being controlled.

“You see,” Lilith smirked. “I think you all need to be punished.”

“!!!”

“N-No… Nooooo!”

For the next minute, the dark alley was filled with bloodcurdling screams.

The entire alley had been dyed red. Human bodies lay scattered on the ground.

In front of Lilith, a shivering man was seated on the floor. He was looking at her with an expression of terror while a stream of yellow liquid created a puddle on the ground.

“… Now, can you answer some questions?” Lilith smiled brightly at the man. He was one of the weakest robbers, just at the Level 6 origin master. The only reason he was alive was that she needed someone to guide her.

“W-What do you want to k-know?” The man asked in a trembling voice. Lilith frowned in disgust; dammit, this man shat himself.

“What gang do you belong to, how many members the gang has, your boss’s name. I need that kind of information.”

The man paled in fear when he heard Lilith’s questions. He was not an idiot, so he could understand her purpose based on her questions and means.

However, when he saw Lilith’s smiling look, he knew that his only way to survive was by answering her questions.

The man quickly told Lilith all the information he knew. He even told her the name of the leader’s mistress and how many women he had slept with.

Once he finished speaking, she turned around and started walking away.

“Guide me to the hideout,” Lilith ordered coldly.

”Not bad,” Orpheus mumbled before dragging Amber with him. She was starting to understand what Lilith was about to do.
