Volume 3, Human, Non-Human Killer Chapter 6: The Strength of Non-Humans and the Modifications of Humans

Translator: Raylight

Contrary to expectations, this time the young master didn’t start a cold war with the master.

He started sitting in front of the computer for entire days, as though he was searching for information.

I had sneaked a few peeks, and it all seemed to be information pertaining to universities. Could it be that the little young master wanted to go to university? That wasn’t a bad idea, seeing how he was really bored anyways.

However, every time the Sun Emperor walked by, the little young master would switch his computer monitor screen to a page on weapon information.

I’m not sure why the little young master would want to hide it from the Sun Emperor.

It feels like a storm is brewing!

I dashed out of the building. Originally, I was a little lost as to where to begin my search, but Mr. Bramble had called to inform me of Melody’s whereabouts. Therefore, I followed his instructions and started chasing down Melody. I usually walked on the rooftops, but occasionally when there were no interlinking roofs, I would jump down to street level and continue running.

However, I quickly gave up on traveling on the streets. That was because there had been several times I had nearly bumped into the patrolling police, or gangs of young people holding weapons with practically every part of their bodies modified. Those people looked like they had no relation to the word “peace,” and I definitely did not want to get into trouble right now.

I returned to the rooftop and continued running. However, even while on the roofs, it did not feel very peaceful. I could not tell if it was just my misperception, but as I passed over the rooftops, I kept feeling as though there were more spying black shadows than usual.

It seems like the non-humans are also growing a little restless?

For both the humans and non-humans to look so heated, it was definitely not a good sign. Though I felt uneasy, the most urgent matter at hand was still to find Melody. Everything else was secondary…

“Charles.”

“Yes? Where do I head next?” I paused in my footsteps and looked down at the cell phone on the front of my chest. Mr. Bramble was still on the phone and was continuously giving me instructions as to where I should head next.

“Melody is on the rooftop of the next building. Also, that fellow transformed again. The young master is currently busy restraining him, so he asks you to use your own judgment based on the situation. There is no need to consult him.”

“Very well.” Hearing that, I could only silently pray that Dragon Peace could make it out safe and sound… I believed that the young master, with his strength, would definitely be fine, so it would be unnecessary to pray for the young master.

I looked at the building next to me, and then discovered in shock that this building was not unfamiliar to me. A powerful non-human resided here. Melody once said that she knew that non-human.

Could it be that Melody came over to look for the non-human?

With a jump, I leapt over the gap between the buildings and landed. Once I lifted my head, I saw Melody. The woman called Yina was curled up by her feet, and it seemed like she had fainted.

“Melody?” As I walked closer, I inquired, “Why did you capture Yina? Has Anceo not caught up to us? Or did you already…”

“I didn’t think that he would actually not be here. This is bad!” Melody turned around and looked at me as she spoke, but she did not answer my questions.

Her expression looked very solemn. I could not help but ask her in anxiety and puzzlement, “Who is not here?”

“The owner of this territory.” Seeming to think that such an explanation was not enough, Melody then added on, “He is the strongest non-human in this city… Excluding E.X. who dropped by.”

“I know that.” However, I was still rather confused, so I could only once again question, “Even if he is not around, what does it have to do with the situation?”

Melody fell silent for a long time. In this period of time, I walked right in front of her, but I did not speak. I merely gazed at her with a gentle smile, waiting for her answer. My honorable father had once taught me, a gentle smile coupled with patience is the best way to make the employer willingly say what is on their mind.

Melody turned around, looking across the entire Dark Realm before her. She then finally answered, “Butler, do you know how difficult it is to hide your identity in a highly urbanized city like Sunset City? There are surveillance cameras for practically every step you take, and it is not difficult at all to retrieve the images from the cameras. In the streets, regardless of whether it is day or night, there will be people running around wildly. On top of every building, there are also non-humans looking down from above!”

I was extremely astonished. Could it be that the young master’s hero identity has also…

“Even if it’s true that nobody has seen the young master jump out from the window of his room, as long as one analyzes the speed in which Dark Sun arrives to different incidents, it’s very easy to find out roughly which area the young master lives in. In this area, if only the young master has that kind of silver hair…”

Melody turned to look at me and said bluntly, “The fact that the young master is Dark Sun, do you really think that no one has guessed it, especially the non-humans?”

I gave it a little more thought, and I too felt that Melody’s words were absolutely reasonable. If the young master’s identity were to be revealed, then…

“Don’t worry, Mr. Butler.” Melody unhappily said, “From the very beginning, I had already contacted the strongest non-human in this place, and also made an agreement with him. Humans and non-humans will not interfere with each other! As long as non-humans do not harm humans or heroes, the heroes will not hurt non-humans.”

That explains the matter. I sincerely praised, “You are very attentive and thorough.”

“But of course!” Melody said proudly, but she then showed a vexed expression as she shouted, “But those Church people broke the agreement! And now, the guy who can suppress the majority of the non-humans is not around!”

She said fretfully, “Anceo is merely the vanguard. If they were to ask the Church for assistance, there will be a large number of Church members dashing into Sunset City! Sunset City isn’t the territory of the Church, but the headquarters of the non-humans! They definitely would not allow the Church to run amok here. At that time, non-humans and humans will definitely be drawn into a large war!”

“A war?” I froze for a moment, and then started to feel a little uneasy.

Melody nodded her head impatiently, saying, “Moreover, Anceo has already found out that the young master is Dark Sun, so he wouldn’t see the young master as human. However, on the other hand, the non-humans definitely would not see Dark Sun as one of them! The young master is completely stuck in the middle between humans and non-humans, and once the war starts, he will definitely become a victim.”

“The young master will not become a victim.” I was not too worried about this, and I tried reminding Melody, “Could it be that you have forgotten that he is that person’s little brother? As long as the young master gives a call to the master, I believe that the master could at least resolve the issue with the Church.”

Instead, Melody frostily said, “Butler, do you truly understand why the young master wanted to leave home?”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I recalled that the young master had naturally left home to leave the master’s protection.

Melody spitefully said, “That Anceo has already forced the young master to bring out the master’s name in order to scare him. If matters become worse, and the young master has to call the master for help, then he might as well go home!”

I nodded my head. Moreover, the young master himself was not someone who liked to ask for help. All along, he had always kept the unhappy matters to himself and borne them silently.

Melody said as though it was a matter of fact, “Thus, not letting the young master be forced to use that last resort is my job.”

“Job?” I turned to look at Melody. Though her expression was very determined, I still did not understand what the job she referred to was.

Melody aggressively spat out a series of questions. “You are the young master’s butler. Bramble and the others are helping the young master oversee the surveillance cameras. Then, what about me? Hiring an eighth generation vampire with a yearly salary of over ten million to oversee surveillance cameras? Even if the young master is rich, isn’t that still using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?”

I quickly said, “You have helped the young master a lot.”

She gave a “hmph” and said in an extremely unsatisfied tone, “In the beginning, the young master employed me because he wanted to have me at his side, to prevent me from being slaughtered by the master without a single sound! Butler, if the young master hired you as his butler purely because you are his friend, and he wants to protect you, but he actually doesn’t need you to work at all, would you stay by his side obediently?”

I immediately shook my head. Naturally, I would not do so.

“I am also not freeloading!” Melody proudly said, “You are the young master’s butler. As for me, I am the young master’s killer, specializing in resolving matters dealt under the table. This is my job! So, do you have any dissatisfaction toward the fact that I captured Yina to threaten Anceo not to reveal the young master’s identity?”

“Not at all, Ms. Killer.”

I answered with a smile and saw Melody show an astonished expression in response. I continued my words while smiling, “As long as you are performing your duty, I have no reason or need to stop you. I believe that you would not stop me from performing a butler’s duties as well, such as cleaning the young master’s home, right?”

“Cleaning…” Melody froze, but following that she showed a bewitching smile. She charmingly said, “Indeed, it is cleaning. You clean the house, and I’ll clean away anything that dares to hinder the young master!”

I nodded my head and looked down to see the unconscious Yina. Though I felt rather regretful, I would not stop Melody any longer. I merely asked her, a little curious, “Do you intend to drink her blood?”

“If you want to drink it, go ahead. But don’t kill her.” Melody did not seem to care as she said, “There’s still use for this woman, to threaten Anceo with her. If he dares to notify the Church or reveal the young master’s identity as a hero, I will kill her.”
