BXBX NOVEL Chapter 24
While Amber was returning after leaving the orphanage, Orpheus was tailing Hank and Trey. He didn’t bother hiding his presence, and soon one of them noticed that someone was following them.
”Trey, it seems that someone has been following us for a while.”
Hank informed Trey busy checking the new girl’s butts.
”Oh? It is either a fool or this person has a death wish, either way, we must deal with this person. Nobody couldn’t stop tonight dinner.” Trey said with a sinister smile. The four girls smiled almost as though they were deaf; it was because they had fallen entirely under the two control.
Hank chuckled and turned into a dark alley; as Trey had said, better take care of this person to enjoy tonight’s meal, fresh blood is always the best.
Naturally, Orpheus followed them with a smile on his face; it was going to be fun.
After walking into the alley, Orpheus saw the four girls standing motionless, with Hank and Trey standing at the front with their arms crossed.
”Who are you?” Hank asked, standing with an air of superiority. He released a bit of his hidden aura; a bloody scent filled the air.
Orpheus chuckled and said casually.
”I am your maker.”
There was a silence before Hank and Trey exchanged a look before they burst into laughter.
”Hahahaha! I don’t know if this one has the gut or he is just a fool.” Hank said while laughing.
”Hahahaha! I don’t know, but seeing his pretty face, I’m somewhat annoyed. I will destroy his face first.” Trey’s voice was vicious; Hank knew he was not joking; he would do what he said.
Orpheus was unfazed by those words; he was even smiling. They thought he was joking, only if they knew the truth.
”Well, it’s time for some fun.” He mumbled, nobody heard him.
”I will only ask it one time.” Orpheus’voice echoed inside the dark alley stopping the laughter.
Hank and Trey froze; their expressions changed turned extremely dark.
”What did you just say?” Trey asked, doing his best not immediately snap Orpheus’s neck. His killing intent couldn’t be contained anymore; he unleashed it. He thought Orpheus would go weak on his knees but on the contrary.
Orpheus remained standing with the same expression; he was smiling.
”What two fledglings are doing here?”
Trey’s killing intent vanished like a puff of smoke. For a moment, he thought he had misheard, but upon seeing Hank’s shocked face, he knew he had not misheard. He immediately released his full strength; his hair grew, his eyes turned red, sharp fangs and nails grew out from his mouth and hands, he shot toward Orpheus like a bullet; this man must be killed; he knows too much.
He had forgotten one thing, which was a man who could ask such a question must not be an ordinary man.
Orpheus sighed but did nothing to dodge sharp nails coming toward his neck.
Bang!
A loud explosion rang in the air as Trey was swatted away by Orpheus’s palm. Trey flipped in the air and nearly lost his footing when he landed. His nails broke apart while his cheek became swollen like a pig head; Trey’s mind was still buzzing from the impact. With that slap, Trey understood that he was not the handsome young man match; his level 5 strength was nothing. The young man held back; if not, his head would have burst apart.
Hank was also shocked; he had known Trey for more than thirty years already, he knew how strong the latter was, so for Trey to be swatted like a fly.
The two exchanged a look before unleashing their full strength and attacking simultaneously. Their combined might was equivalent to level 4 origin master; their aim wasn’t to kill Orpheus but to create an opportunity to escape leaving the capital.
Swoosh! Bang!
Just before they could reach Orpheus, they were sent flying; they vomited blood while rolling on the ground. Even though they passed through the girls when they were sent flying, the four girls remained standing, not budging in the slightest.
”Is that all?” Orpheus asked with a bored expression.
Unprecedented feelings of fear arose, and Hank and Trey felt their scalp blistering. They had goosebumps all over their body.
Their reflexes kicked in, and both their lower limbs moved to flee before they even stood up completely.
They wanted to escape, but suddenly they found out that they could not leave. To their horror, the following sentence said by Orpheus made their faces lose all colors.
”Ah! I thought I could have a bit of fun, but it’s quite disappointing. Let’s me show how hypnosis is used.”
Hypnosis was one of the vampire abilities. Through the use of hypnosis, Vampires can dominate the mind and will of a human by simple eye contact, soft speech, or a simple wave of the hand. It was this ability the two used on the girls with scarfs around their necks; they didn’t know that their blood was kept getting sucked every night as the morning they would forget anything through hypnosis. It was through hypnosis Hank and Trey planted the suggestion for the two women to help them catch two girls after their performance in the underground bar.
However, now they were about to experience the same ability they have used on others; only high-level vampires can hypnotize another vampire meaning this young man was a high-level vampire.
Orpheus’s eyes were unchanging as he asked.
”Why are you here?”
They wished to resist, but something deep within them compelled them to open their mouth and start spilling everything.
”We are here under someone else order. That person said to wait for the appropriate time before making a move, to act only when he ordered us to act. In the meantime time, we must enjoy ourselves but to some extent. We were forbidden for creating new blood.”
”I see this mean you are not the one that created that newborn. Huh! Interesting.” Orpheus mumbled, the vampire that almost killed Amber was a newborn; it was because he was a newborn he acted like that, slaughtering people as he did. Newborns are newly transitioned vampires. They become unstable because of their heightened senses and emotions.
Orpheus immediately asked his next question.
”Who do you report to usually?”
Hank and Trey opened their mouths to answer when suddenly their faces twisted as though they were in extreme pain before their bodies exploded.
Boom!
”I see, whoever is this person, he is sure cautious. I can’t risk alerting the powerhouses in the city by using Blood reverse. Well, whoever you are, I’m coming for you.” Orpheus mumbled be, hypnotizing the four girls who regained their freedom after Hank and Trey’s death. That vampire on the day he arrived, and those two just now meant something was going on; someone was preparing something. Nobody had the right to play with his things; this person had become his enemy the moment his plan began.
At the same time somewhere a man could be seen analyzing an old parchment when suddenly as though sensing something he raised his face, his scarlet eyes shone for a moment before he resumed his analysis after not finding anything amiss, as for the two fledglings death he had felt a moment ago, it was not worth looking into especially after he came back. He must accelerate his plans.
