Chapter 844 - Mothers gift (2/2)
'What is he about to do? My heart! I can't take this for long.'
”Done.” Quinn told her after a moment and let go to her slight disappointment. ”It appears that her Qi really is inside you. This must be her final gift to you. It might not be as strong as hers at her peak, since she used it to heal you, but it's plenty strong. Say, what are you going to do after this? Do you plan to head back to Pure?” Quinn wondered.
”I intend to go to Pure, but I have no plans to stay there. My mother, she was one of the founders of Pure, but she never told me her reason. I hope by returning to them I might discover just why she hated ability users so much. Once in a while she would even look at me with hatred in her eyes. Once I've found that out….” Layla stopped there, because that's when she realised, she hadn't really thought about a future beyond that point.
In the past she had just followed her mother's path for her in life, but with her now gone…
”You can figure that out later.” Quinn advised her as he noticed her blank look. ”Our priority should be to defeat the Dalki, or at least get out of this place. Otherwise there won't be a future to worry about.”
A few days had passed since their talk and their new family members were starting to get into the swing of things. Quinn was gaining reputation points daily, but he had stopped placing more towers for the moment.
He didn't want to get even more attention to himself just yet, and thought the two at the front were fine for now. However, he had upgraded them to level three, making them stronger and more powerful than before.
As for the statue, that didn't have a level, as it was unique in its own way.
One day, when Quinn was in the lab checking on Logan and Peter. One of the men that worked for Paul came to notify them that there was a visitor, namely one of the second family's Vampire knights.
'So it's finally started? If I remember correctly, the second family leader is Cindy, and she's the one that might be able to get Cia's memory back. It's clear she wants something from me, but perhaps we can use them as well.'
”Let them in.” Quinn ordered.
Quinn didn't move from where he was. He didn't want to make it seem like it was such a big deal that a knight had come to see him. Fortunately, as a family leader he outranked their guest, so he had the privilege to wait for them to come to him.
In the meantime he continued with what they were doing, in this case examining the new things Logan had created recently alongside Peter.
Eventually the female knight entered the room. She had short brown hair and big eyes. All three of them noticed the bag under her eyes. Vampires didn't need much sleep in the first place, so it was rare for one to have them.
She gave a quick bow to Quinn as a sign of respect, and immediately went to deliver her message.
”The second family leader, Cindy Cha, invites you to a meeting in her castle, tonight at six PM. There will be several other leaders present, so she hopes you will join them. She promises that you won't regret it.”
She stood there as if waiting for an answer, but Quinn just waved her off, allowing her to leave.
'It's just as Dwight predicted. Cindy must be trying to get me over to her side. I guess if I want to find out more of their plans that meeting will be the perfect place. Dwight did deliver on his promises, so time to return the favor.'
Peter, who was swinging a strange contraption in his hand, a tool Logan had created, waited for her to leave before warning Quinn. ”I don't like that bitch. They were having those meetings before you were here, so she is definitely planning to use you Quinn! If you ever need someone to give her a slap, I'll be the first one to volunteer.”
”Right...” Quinn replied awkwardly, he had actually heard what had happened between him and Cindy from Layla, a couple of days ago.
Half an hour before the meeting, Quinn decided that he would participate. He was sure that they wouldn't attack him, after all they would want him on their side. Nevertheless, just in case they wanted to do something stupid, Quinn was confident enough to be able to escape via his shadow.
Leaving the castle, Quinn wore a hood to cover his face and made his way to the second castle. A short while later, another visitor arrived at the tenth castle.
Another Vampire knight.
Entering the castle, the first person she asked to meet wasn't Quinn but Leo. One of the soldiers went to fetch him.
”I didn't expect to meet you again so soon, did you come here for that duel?” Leo asked.
”Actually, I'm here to see my brother.” Silver replied.
