章節 41: Safe? Not a Chance boy!

Selene watched Nikolai leave the room, her eyes narrowing in irritation. She only did this to help him, ignored that rude dog, and interacted with foul-smelling humans, which made her feel sick.

"Those who wish to apply for our intern program should look out for our online campaign that will be launched within the month. Make sure to put your name and reason in the other section of your application so when I check them, I remember your names and don't toss out your application."

She was filled with anger, yet her angelic voice reflected nothing but peace and joy.

Yet Selene's gaze flicked towards Nikita several times. Her mind was clouded with various scenarios and situations, a sign of her inner turmoil.

Unable to accept the strange irritation she felt from the moment Nikolai openly kissed her, Selene bit her lower lip and began to plan her 'revenge' on Nikolai.

'You think that I will forget this, Nikolai? Didn't your mother ever tell you women hold grudges?' Her inner voice, usually serene like an angel, now carried a thorny demonic tone.

The crowd suddenly became quiet because of her beautiful smile; like the holy mother herself, she cast a divine light across the room as the negative feelings vanished.

Most of Mari's rumours and words were now forgotten as people started to order their meals and courses.

Selene lowered the microphone and greeted a few of the people she knew through business deals and meetings.

***

Meanwhile, outside, a group of males and females walked towards Nikolai and Anya, who sat together and chatted happily.

"N-Nikolai?! Is that you!" A deep but pleasant voice echoed as a handsome male in a blue suit called out.

'Huh?! Wait!'

'That messy yet cool hair... those eyes like an abandoned puppy!'

"R-Ryan?"

"It really is you! Oh my god!"

Ryan rushed over and hugged Nikolai, the pair laughing before their hands clasped together. Both of them seemed shocked for a moment. However, shook their heads and showed the biggest smile that Anya or the party with Ryan had ever seen.

Even Kuro looked shocked at his delighted face.

"Ahem, Master Seong. Might I ask who your friend might be?"

The handsome male who wore a white suit with a strange emblem on his chest pocket asked with an elegant voice. His red eyes glided over both Nikolai and Anya before returning to Ryan.

"He's my best friend and most trusted ally. Nikolai Volkov."

The moment the noble heard the name, it caused his body to stiffen along with half the group who followed him. Though Ryan didn't seem to care, Nikolai felt his body shift and intense pressure flooded the hallway.

Because...

"I see. My name is Alister Millard Van Faust. It is a PLEASURE to meet you, Mister Volkov!"

'Oh shit...'

[Hahahaha! Out of the frying pan and into the fryer, as they say! Master, they are all pureblood vampires with only one Squire!]

'I CAN SEE THAT!'

"Oh? What a delightful meeting. The pleasure is all mine! I hope you have a fine evening."

The lowest combat value of the vampires with Alister was 150, while the highest three, including Alister himself, showed skulls, and the Squire had a physical attribute of 60 and 40 mental!

"Brother Nikolai, are you alright?" Anya's voice cooled Nikolai's mind as she stood beside him and grasped his arm.

Although she felt the aggression, this level of blood thirst was something she felt on a daily level, from servants mocking her, family degrading her, and even her father being disappointed in her.

Nikolai could feel the sweat leaking down his spine. Alister's gaze showed pure hatred and anger, while the other bloodthirsty auras overwhelmed him.

However, this didn't make him scared. No... his blood was rampaging, like an ocean tide during a dangerous storm it wanted to fight.

Like a chihuahua fighting a huge Doberman, it didn't care about the difference in strength. His desire to fight was that high!

'I can't really blame Nikita... Ah~ I want to fuck these pretentious prick's face up.'

[I bet 100,000,000 he knocks you out with a single punch.]

'How charming. Don't you think I could get a sneak hit in and make him cry?'

[Dream On!]

"Oh? Who is this charming young lady? I am sure you seem familiar. Which family are you from?"

It seemed Alister grew bored with dealing with Nikolai and began to speak to Anya, who seemed to look frustrated, her eyes filled with anger and her lips trembling.

"You don't know who I am? Really, you don't realise it's me?" A voice filled with frustration and anger echoed through the hallway.

"Do forgive me, beautiful maiden but if I knew you in the past, you would already be one of my wives! If only my fiancée were half as impressive as you, I might not have broken our engagement the night before our wedding!"

He let out a roar of laughter, and his party joined him, mocking the 'half-blood failure' while the others still stared coldly at Nikolai.

However, Ryan and Nikolai seemed to notice something from Anya's response: her body shaking, an aura of blood seething from her body as she bit her lower lip enough to tear the skin.

"Anya!"

"Lady Anastasia!" Ryan called out before helping her stand, holding her shoulders and causing the princess to become stunned.

Nikolai and Ryan quickly pulled Anya away, who didn't even resist their help. Her eyes filled with the desire to destroy the group in front of her.

"Hmm? Anya... Anastasia? No, you're kidding me.... you?" Alister's lips warped, and his smile was twisted into a twisted grin.

"You dare deceive me, The new heir to house Faust?! How did you change your hair and eyes?! Tell me!" He roared like a mad beast.

'How did you become a true vampire? You filthy half-breed!' His heart's voice added as he stepped closer, a heavy pressure causing the surrounding glass to crack.

'What? No... impossible, it should have been impossible for her to have awakened.' Ryan's eyes opened wide, his mind filled with information that a human shouldn't have. Then he turned his eyes back to Anya, who now had tears streaming down her eyes.

***

Meanwhile, in the main room, because Nikolai was gone, Selene and Nikita stood facing each other, while all the others slept in a pile on the stage.

"Did you think I would forgive your rudeness, little dog? Nikolai is mine!"

"Hmph, you're just a fat desperate leech whore. Nikolai likes my tight ass over your saggy tits!" Nikita's R-Dialect was sharp and filled with more passion than ever.

"Tsk, who are you calling a fat whore? Flat-chested, unwanted beast!"

"Hmph!"

The two women's aura caused the entire room to tremble, with Nikita on all fours, her tail bushy and in the air, with her claws and fangs fully extended and visible.

Meanwhile, Selene's long red fingernails were pointed towards Nikita as she stood with an elegant pose, her blood arts activated as thick scarlet blood swirled around her arms, just waiting for Nikita to make a move.

'This girl is strong and excels in close combat... even if I go all out, a draw is the best outcome in this enclosed space. I cannot use my wide-ranged blood arts with his friends all sleeping there.'

'Ah, this bitch stinks of Nikolai's scent! She's the one that keeps calling him. I have to kill her, she will take Nikolai away and never let me play with him and turn him into a breast lover!'

Nikolai thought he had escaped safely.

However...

There was no chance he would avoid their wrath forever!
