Laura wrinkled her nose. Pretending to take a glass of wine from a nearby table, she overheard the two girls' conversation.
"It's rare to see him roaming the city when he's not hunting."
"Especially attending a public event like this. It feels quite strange."
Unable to hold the questions in her mind, Laura chose to be intimate by putting her arm around the two girls' shoulders.
"Hey, may I ask a question?"
Laura's sudden and friendly appearance made the two girls wince in surprise. Laura paid no heed to their surprised reaction, instead tightening her grip even more and suppressing the tantalizing smell of blood filling her lungs.
"Ngh… huh?" one of the girls with red hair and wearing a Jean Gray costume in the X-Men opened her mouth.
"Who is that young man?" Laura pointed at Justin with her hand still gripping the long-legged glass.
"You don't know him?" Another girl who was dressed up and dressed like Snow White rolled her eyes in disbelief. "That's Justin Leonidas. The most famous vampire hunter in Granite Falls."
The corners of Laura's lips were pulled down scornfully. Her mind laughed loudly at the reply of the girl in the Snow White costume. She couldn't deny that Justin's attack that night was powerful and almost cost him.
"Really? I doubt his greatness. How could the most famous vampire hunter ever get bitten by a vampire girl like me?"
Spontaneously, the two girls turned to Laura who had an indifferent look on her face. Noticing the shock that engulfed the two girls due to Laura's words just now, Laura just stared at them dumbly.
"Oops, I forgot I was Cat Woman." Laura chuckled as she pulled her arm away, then walked away from the girl in the Jean Gray and Snow White costume who was still frozen in their place.

Justin's gaze stopped in a direction where he saw Laura Kristeva leaning her hand on the balcony ledge waving at him. Even though her face was covered by a mask, Justin still remembers well the vampire who bit him and nearly killed him that night.
At least Justin got Laura even though he didn't see Cassandra at all. With hasty steps while brushing aside the crowd of people dancing on the dance floor, Justin chased after Laura. He cursed a little to get hindered by the pressure of the people around him. Justin couldn't help but fight against the currents of the sea of people nearby regardless of their annoying nagging.
Laura deliberately provoked Justin to approach her. He was really curious to what extent the abilities of the vampire hunter who was said to be the most famous in Granite Falls were. Justin couldn't give a shot through his arrows in such a crowd of people. The people in that place could have been hurt.
