The next day, within the entire Caisi Temple, from the Dharma King to the secret guards, from the lamas to the novices, not a single person felt anything amiss.
Eric also kept silent, but internally, he placed even greater importance on those at the Grandmaster level.
After bidding farewell to the Great Vehicle Dharma King and politely declining his insistence to stay, Eric, accompanied by his four chief secret guards, left the Caisi Temple.
The reason for finding a new residence wasn't because Eric couldn't adapt to temple life, but rather for the convenience of Lusien's recruitment efforts. After all, vampires generally don't favor places saturated with Buddhist energy.
Eric initially thought that finding vampires would be relatively easy, but to his surprise, after searching all over Los Angeles, he had only managed to gather three.
Of course, it's not that vampires were scarce, but rather that those meeting Eric's criteria were few.
