Chapter 734: Three Moves (1/2)
If Gary had followed him all the way, he might’ve heard and seen certain things he shouldn’t have. As one of the Wolf King’s two most important sons, Gary’s position wasn’t one Xue Ding could compare to. There wouldn’t be any problems even if he were to kill the latter.
This was the value of the so-called foster son. In the eyes of the Wolf King, all of his foster sons added together couldn’t compare to a single Gary.
Gary looked at the man who had collapsed on the ground and said, “Xue Wu? You’ve also lost?”
Xue Wu looked away with a snort but didn’t reply. Despite his pride, he knew very well that Gary was someone he couldn’t afford to offend lightly. As such, all he could do was remain silent. Xue Ding, however, was quick with his wits. He ran over to Gary with an expression of sorrow, saying, “Brother, they laid down a trap and sneak attacked us. That was why they managed to wound Big Brother, no, I mean Xue Wu. I wasn’t able to react in time to warn him. I was just preparing to teach them a good lesson when you arrived!”
Gary shot a glance at Xue Ding, doing nothing to disguise the disdain in his eyes. “Even Xue Wu has been defeated, yet you want to teach them a lesson?”
“What’s so scary about a rank-twelve fellow? Besides, don’t I have you?”
Gary shot a condescending glance at Qianye. To him, humans were inherently weak and simply not a match for werewolves. For the third-rank count, Gary, a rank-twelve human was someone he could easily kill. He was shocked upon seeing Nighteye, however—his long hair flew up on its own and his body arched forward slightly with a threatening growl.
Gary first sensed a powerful threat and became instinctively cautious. Then, after seeing her appearance, an explosion occurred in his brain and his body became scorching hot.
“You’re a vampire!?” As a werewolf of considerable talents, Gary was instinctively sensitive to vampires. He sniffed hard and said with great certainty, “You are a vampire! Who would’ve thought that there’d be such a powerful vampire in the Eastern Sea!”
The werewolves and vampires had a vendetta between them that had gone on for tens of thousands of years. The latter race rarely appeared in the werewolf-ruled Eastern Sea—the more powerful ones would move under cover, while weaker ones would suffer a treatment even worse than that of humans.
Gary stared at Nighteye, saying, “You come with me and be my woman. Then I might just let this trash go.”
“Might?” Nighteye’s expression seemed quite strange.
Gary said proudly, “Letting him go or not will depend on my mood. If you’re obedient enough, perhaps my mood will take a turn for the better.”
The vampiric blade jumped between Nighteye’s fingers as she sized the man up. “Don’t you feel embarrassed saying such things with your little strength?”
Gary broke into a frown. “It’s not a problem for me to defeat you with my strength. This is the neutral land and not Evernight. Don’t think you’re nobler than us werewolves just because you’re a vampire! I’ll have you know that my bloodline is enough to be ranked toward the front even in the Evernight faction. My father has said before that I might even pass the test of the Summit of Peaks if I were in Evernight.”
Speechless, Qianye and Nighteye looked at one another.
If William wasn’t boasting, he was the Summit of Peak’s number one genius in the recent generation and one with the greatest hope to ascend the holy mountain. Even then, William’s glorious image in Qianye’s eye melted away rapidly with a single “Woof!”
As a primo with the purest bloodline in this generation, Nighteye’s standards were on the same level as William. Meanwhile, Qianye had refined his bloodline once more and entered the ranks of the ancient vampires.
Now that Gary was boasting about his talents, it gave Qianye and Nighteye a strange feeling. They sized him up repeatedly from head to toe but just couldn’t see which part of him was close to William.
Gary held his head high and was completely oblivious to the fact that his figure had been reflected in Qianye and Nighteye’s pupils. Even if he did, he would only think that they were normal reflections.
Nighteye seemed interested and Zhuji was poking her head out from the courtyard, hoping to join in on the fun. Qianye, however, wasn’t in the mood. After the initial intrigue for the idiot had passed, the only thing that remained was surging anger.
Gary was looking at Nighteye as though she were his toy, almost as if it was an honor that he was willing to take her home. This angered Qianye thoroughly.
He picked up East Peak, walked over to Gary, and said with a cold voice, “According to you, you’re a genius among werewolves?”
Gary patted his chest and said proudly, “How many people have you heard of becoming a count at this age? Besides, I haven’t passed my growth phase just yet. I still have more growth potential!”
He only discovered what was wrong after saying this. “What do you mean by according to me? I am a genius!”
Qianye replied indifferently, “Unfortunately, you have no more opportunity to display your talents.”
Gary almost couldn’t believe his ears—he remained stunned for a good while before bending over in roaring laughter. He caught his breath only after a good while, and then started walking toward Qianye while putting on a pair of clawed gloves. “Lowly human, you have truly enraged me. I’ll tear you apart slowly and not let you die a quick death. And before you die, I’ll let you see just how I’ll play with this vampire!”
Qianye exhaled deeply. His eyes turned a flowing blue color as he said coldly, “At first I thought I could kill you in three moves, but now it seems I might have to use a couple more.”
Gary laughed wildly. “Three moves? Lowlives will be lowlives, what else do you know apart from boasting?”
Gary felt his body sink all of a sudden, almost as though there was a mountain pressing down on him. This pressure increased in the blink of an eye amidst the faint echo of ocean tides. Despite werewolves being known for their strength, Gary felt extremely strained at the moment and couldn’t even perform a jump.
