Chapter 77 77: Old?
The Young Vampire from the Blood Council brought his foot down, intending to crush the skull of the barking dog to have some peace, but before he could, another foot hit his leg, sending the man a few steps back before he managed to balance himself.
The man who had been completely calm until now finally had his expression changed.
Even though he wasn't hurt, he felt the strength behind the kick. That strength was something that a human couldn't possess.
The young man glanced at the person who had attacked him only to find a young man standing before him who looked only slightly older than him.
The young man also had pale skin, but his paleness looked good on him. The man had beautiful green eyes and long hair that were tied.
"A Vampire from Castiel's lineage?" The Young Man curiously stated. "I thought that lineage was extinct. Apparently we were wrong about this."
Atlas ignored the young man as if he was insignificant. Instead, he tapped the head of the dog, who was still barking. "Little guy, you still haven't changed, have you?"
Even though the dog was barking like crazy, unafraid of people from the Blood Council, he went completely silent as soon as Atlas touched him, which even surprised Atlas.
This guy... Did he really recognize him, or was this because of something else? The former seemed really unlikely.
"Finally, this bloody dog shuts up." The dark-haired blood Council Member let out a tired sigh of relief. It was as if he was less upset about Atlas pushing him back and more relieved because the dog was silent now.
He gazed at the people who stood behind Atlas. "A Witch, a Werewolf, and a human? That's certainly an odd team-up. May I ask what you all are doing in this place?"
"That's none of your concern. We don't answer to you," Atlas responded.
"Hmm, that's certainly true. You're not from our lineage, so you certainly don't answer us, but I would still advise you to answer. Didn't you hear? One should never be too stubborn before their elders."
"Elder?" Atlas gazed at the man, who seemed way younger than him.
"Are you really judging my age by my looks?" The young man couldn't help but smile. "Kid, I am seven thousand years old. So I would really advise you to be somewhat respectful. I've loved longer than you can imagine."
"Even though I should've killed you for kicking my leg, I'll forgive that as your first mistake. Don't make a second mistake now because I don't like the ones who repeatedly make mistakes."
"Fine. I came here for sightseeing," Atlas answered. He didn't prefer a fight at this moment, especially someone who was way older than the Vampire Lords. In Vampires, age often signifies strength. The longer one lived, the stronger they were.
"Now that I've finished sightseeing, I'll take my leave." Holding the small dog in his hands, Atlas started walking away. Lancaster also followed Atlas, only to be stopped by the man as well.
"And you? What were you doing here? Don't tell me you also came for sightseeing with a Vampire?" The young Vampire asked. "Also, I don't know what it is about you, but you stink a bit more than the werewolves I've met. It's quite similar to..."
As the dark-haired man's thoughts reached here, a frown covered his forehead. "Quite similar to those Royal Dogs."
Krrr~
He placed his hand on the shoulders of Lancaster, ripping his clothes.
"As expected, a Royal Mutt. Disgusting," The young Vampire stepped back in disgust.
Through the mark on the shoulders of Lancaster, it was evident that this guy was a Werewolf with a Royal Bloodline.
"You four must think I'm an idiot that I won't know? A Vampire, a witch, and a Royal Werewolf appeared in the same town where the entrance was discovered, and you think I'll believe the sightseeing excuse?" With an amused look on his face, the young Vampire gazed back at Atlas.
"You're here for the same thing that we're here for, aren't you? Witches have often sided with the Werewolves, but now even Castiel's lineage also does the same? I'm really disappointed. Then again, like Ancestor like descendant. That Castiel also betrayed the other Progenitors."
"You really should learn to respect that name, kid. That's not a name you can disrespect like that!" Lilith had been silent until now, but seeing her Master being disrespected by a junior like that, even she couldn't control herself.
"Ohh? The Witch also has some arrogance, it seems. Just because you're siding with a Royal Werewolf, you think you can talk to me like that?"
"This is the last chance for you four. Leave this town and don't return until we are done here. If I saw you again, you'll be the first one I kill."
The man stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for the four to leave right before his eyes.
"Lord, let's go. This isn't something we should interfere in." Yovana took the lead. She knew that both sides in this situation were arrogant, and this was never good for discussion. She needed to interfere to solve this, and the only solution was to take away Atlas, Lancaster, and Lilith with her.
Moreover, she also didn't want them to offend the blood council. Freeing Atlan was more important to her, and for that, they couldn't waste a single second here. The more time they spent here, the more delay there was going to be in freeing Atlan.
Yovana held the hand of Lancaster and Lilith, taking them with her. Lancaster didn't care about it. He didn't have any arrogance, and he also didn't feel like there was a need to fight. He just followed along.
Only Lilith showed some resistance since this man had insulted Castiel, but ultimately she also agreed to leave.
Atlas took one last glance at the dark-haired man before he also turned his back and started leaving.
He went back to the Carriage with Yovana and the others. All of them entered the carriage which left.
The young Vampire nodded in satisfaction, not realizing that Atlas had only left in name. Not far from the town, he made the Carriage stop as he got down.
"What are you doing, Lord Castiel? We shouldn't involve ourselves in it." Yovana also jumped out after him.
"No, this is exactly what I need to interfere in. There is something in this town which that man is after. As for what that is, I want to find out. He talked about some entrance... I need to know what that was."
"Exactly." Lilith also agreed. "Something that can bring someone from the Blood Council here is worth investigating."
