North Country Club...
The club had a spacious bar at the center. The fairly dull environment had crimson red lights on the ground, acting like a layer of glowing red carpet.
The bar had a Western style, with the head of a deer hanging above the wall, which was painted with lots of religious patterns. A few silver glasses and cutlery were ready at the end of the bar. Even the bartender was a fairly handsome Westerner.
”What drink would you like?” asked the bartender inside the bar.
”Marina, not too full. I've got a better drink to enjoy later,” said a pale-faced customer.
The customer emptied the drink into his throat quickly, without leaving a single drop behind, as if he were trying to boost his courage for whatever he was planning to do later.
”Asshole, who's trying to mess with me? If I knew the kid was the only person there, I would've killed him on the spot. They shouldn't have seen my face. This is unacceptable! Never have I let prey escape from my palm, and Liu Ru won't be an exception, either!” murmured the pale-faced man.
The man did not notice a harmless looking Little Loli was sitting not far away from the bar. She was drinking a glass of juice while secretly observing the man.
The place was a club for the rich. There were a few residential areas nearby with mansions, thus occasionally, some of the rich residents would bring their kids to the club. As such, it was not strange to see a kid hanging out in the hall.
The Little Loli was holding a phone in her hand. She seemed to be talking with someone.
”Hey little gorgeous, why are you here on your own?” asked a well-groomed middle-aged man with a smile.
Lingling raised her head, and her eyes had an innocent look instead of her usual intelligent gaze. She pouted and said grumblingly, ”I hate learning Magic. There's an endless amount of questions to answer every day. Why can the adults come here and drink, while we kids have to learn those boring topics? I want to drink too, but that irritating foreigner doesn't let me order one.”
The middle-aged man burst into laughter, who could not respond to Lingling's interesting remark at first. He replied after a while, ”Kids who don't listen to adults are naughty. How about this, I haven't drunk from this glass of wine which I just ordered. I'll let you take a sip, and you'll understand how bad the taste it has no matter how expensive the wine is.”
Lingling nodded with the same naive look.
After the middle-aged man left, Lingling glanced back at the pale-faced man at the bar. To her annoyance, the guy had already left without her noticing.
Lingling cursed in her heart, ”Goddammit strange uncle, you've ruined my plan.”
She did not manage to get a clear look at the vampire's face. Strangely, the vampire's face seemed to have an automatic censoring functionality. Every time she tried to look at his face, a cloudy mist would be shrouding his face. If she could get a clear look, she could easily track the vampire down.
On a side note, since he was a regular visitor here, he must be one of the rich people living in this residential area.
”Come, I'll give you just a sip,” the middle-aged man returned with a smile, having switched the glass of wine into a small cup.
”Uncle, do you know the guy at the bar?” asked Lingling.
