Kapitel 14: Feast
The same moment the guards were panicking, not sure what to do. Lucien was walking on a small alley recalling how he escaped.
He knew the guards would check out what happened, but was not sure if one of them would stay by him. He was lucky, they probably weren't that worried as the shop was small and all the guards outside were quiet.
The same instant they started walking over and removed most of their attention from Lucien, he stepped back into a shadow. Using the darkness to erase his already suppressed presence, after that he just went to through the exit, mixing into the crowd that had just gathered. His height helped him a lot in achieving that.
He was not really worried someone in the crowd would go after him upon recognition, because nobody knew who he was or how the third prince looked, they might assume he is someone of high ranking, based on clothes, but nobody would dare lay a hand on someone with imperial guards as escorts, at least not in the capital city as some of them clearly saw him walking out of the shop with guards inside and outside.
'I'm pretty lucky, the plan might have fallen apart, by a single wrong glance of a guard or a single loud sentence by a passerby. Darkness was really helpful in making me unnoticeable, I think at some point in the future, completely melding with the shadows won'y be impossible.'
As Lucien continued walking towards his destination, he picked up a metal pipe on the way, it was a lucky find, but he was not too worried even without it, his targets would be commoners.
The place he was headed for was the slums, he already had imprinted the map of the city in his mind and was taking every shortcut possible, as time was valuable.
The moment he entered the boundaries of the slums, foul stench and odor attacked his senses. Lucien didn't even frown at this, he was expecting at least as much, and for his progress, he didn't mind suffering a bit.
It had already been 10 minutes by the time he got here. He estimated that the guards have either informed friends in the city guard for help which would mean he had at least 50 minutes, before the city wide search would affect him, or they informed his parents, which would mean he didn't have much time, as powerhouses would come out to take a look.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard noises from a small alley on his right.
Lucien hid behind a corner to observe what is the situation.
There were 4 men and 2 teenagers, surrounding a beautiful woman.
'Hmm the men are not scrawny, which is pretty surprising for a slum and why would a woman this beautiful be doing in this part of the city.'
'The men look like lackeys for the 2 teenagers, looking at their burning gazes I can guess what they want from her.'
"Come on, don't be shy, let this young master had a taste and your life would be filled with luxury from hereon ."
"Ops, I meant both of us young masters."
"After all we are like brothers, we share everything."
The woman had a bitter look in her eyes, she knew she couldn't avoid what would happen next.
'She is probably a rich lady, judging by the clothes, who slipped by her guards as well, to have some fun.'
'Realistic to top it off, she didn't go 'Do you know who I am?', they wouldn't care as she is getting killed after this.'
Lucien just continued looking, not planning to interfere in the least.
As expected the non responsive lady angered the teenagers, who then send the men to grab her.
The fight was uneventful, in seconds the girl was pressed on the ground, struggling to get free.
'So all of them are commoners, even through the teenagers could be Rank 0, I doubt it. The self confidence coming with the power would make them grab the girl themselves. The I didn't interfere to check if the girl is Rank 0, I'll wait a bit more to be sure.'
They guards tied up the girl, Lucien was surprised at how professional they looked while doing it, they definitely had experience in this kind of stuff.
Finally the girl stopped moving, and just silently cried.
'Probably not a hidden powerhouse, which is one of the reasons I didn't go after beggars, too much factors, any one of them could be a hidden powerhouse, which fell into a dire situation.'
'Let's do this.'
'All existence, scan 20 meters, if anyone much more powerful than me is watching.'
-20 Existence points cost-
'Go ahead.'
-Scanning-
-Only presence is the people in the alley-
Walking with a pipe in his hand, Lucien leisurely walked out of his spot.
One of the young masters that was paying attention to the surrounding saw him and chuckled evilly.
"Seems someone wants to play hero, and it's a brat who still pees in his pants."
Lucien just smiled at this remark and released his vampire aura.
Not realizing it himself, his eyes turned into vertical slits, predatory aura was projected out of them.
They felt as if the youth was not looking at people, but just bags of resources.
Everyone was paralyzed after glancing at those eyes, which seemed to contain a world.
Lucien didn't waste time, as the alley was filled with darkness he was at his peak.
Rushing out, all they saw was a blur, and in the stunned state, only 1 of the men managed to react and roll away.
For the others Lucien stabbed out at incredible speed, hitting their eyes or throats, instantly killing them.
He then looked at the guard that escaped and gave chase.
"Please don't, I won't say anything, I have kids, please."
Lucien didn't even blink as he stabbed 3 timed to make sure he can't dodge, as the opponent was still a commoner.
No miracles happened and the man died shortly after.
Finally, he walked over to the tied up girl, who was looking at him with hope, like she wouldn't mind giving him everything, just as long as he spared her.
"Sorry, no witnesses, doesn't matter who is your backing or how beautiful you are, this can't spread out, all traces and loose end must disappear."
He stabbed her in her teary eye, ending her fast and painlessly.
'Now, let's feast, looking at them them men are around 90 kg, the teenagers are no more than 60 and the lady is max 50.'
'In total 530, which means 1060 existence points, perfect, it's more than the 1000 objective I had in mind.'
Lucien proceeded to devour them, first drinking the blood, if he could see his internal system, he would realize that after entering the blood was permeated by red particles which looked like they wanted to devour it all. Most of the blood after encountering the red particles, had the will in it erased. As the blood was too much and Lucien was not injured or hungry, it was then absorbed by the black hole.
After drinking all the blood, the devouring of meat was almost the same, but instead of red particles, they were grayish in color.
Lucien didn't have trouble consuming commoner meat or bones, his jaws were 5x stronger than commoners, crushing bones was not a problem, and they couldn't stab into his throat, since it was also much stronger.
The alley picked by the young masters so nobody would interrupt them, was secluded and nobody would normally walk by this forgotten corner of the slums, but if someone was to walk by right now, they would hear the symphony of crunching bones, chewing meat and gulping viscous liquid, as if there was a great evil playing it's tune in there.

Zebul So yea I'm not sure if someone would be repulsed by this chapter, but I've seen much worse in other novels. So yea this evil novel will have some snacks here and there, later on he won't need to eat them, just being near would be enough.
