Chapter 67 Tenderness

His eyes penetrated the thick fog and looked far ahead at the Wiki Kingdom - his manor.

Behind him, hundreds of blood bats followed quickly, like a group of hunters in the dark, and the sound of their wings vibrating seemed to be the call of death.

Carrying the fruits of slaughter and plunder, he set out on his way home. Every time he flapped his wings, Ryan's figure went deeper into the night, and the bloody light in his eyes became more dazzling.

As he flew faster and faster, the scene on the ground gradually became blurry, except for the bloody dark cloud behind him that never dissipated and followed him closely.

These blood bats carried Ryan's orders and escorted him all the way home from the Heyman family ruins. Almost all the property, treasures, and any remaining value were taken away by the blood bats.

The wealth of the Heiman family was loaded one by one, piled up in the air, and carried with the wind until they were all delivered to the manor in the Kingdom of Wiki, carrying all mysterious and dangerous items.

When Ryan finally returned to the familiar manor, a complex emotion flashed through his eyes. The third-class apprentice who left had become a first-class wizard in just a few days.

"Land." Ryan whispered.

The blood bats descended in response, as if obeying their master's orders. Under Ryan's control, they dropped mountains of property into the courtyard of the manor.

Magic stones, precious magic props, magical items, sparkling gems, all these rare treasures filled the originally empty courtyard overnight. They piled up into hills, reflecting the bloody atmosphere in the dark night.

Ryan stood in the middle of a pile of wealth, with no joy in his eyes. In his eyes, wealth and power have long been tools within reach, and they are far from enough to make him tempted. What really attracted him was the power of the vampires, the power that swept everything and broke the bonds.

Just as Ryan stood in the courtyard, deeply absorbing the power of the vampires, there was a sound of footsteps in the manor.

Ryan turned his head slightly and looked calmly at the door, where a familiar figure walked out, Pauline as one of his lovers.

Pauline was wearing a dark, close-fitting robe, her black hair was slightly messy, and she was obviously disturbed by the movement outside. She walked out of the door, her eyes quickly swept across the courtyard, but she was suddenly stunned.

"This...this is..." Pauline stared at the scene in front of her in stunned silence. The entire courtyard was almost occupied by mountains of wealth. A trace of confusion and doubt flashed across her eyes for a moment, and then she looked at Ryan with a look of astonishment on her face.

"Ryan...is that you?" Pauline asked in a low voice, slightly shocked, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing. She took a few steps closer, only to find that Ryan's appearance was completely different.

That bloody light and blood-red eyes exuded a sense of oppression that she couldn't ignore, as if he was no longer the familiar Ryan, but a completely different existence.

Ryan smiled slightly, a flash of complicated emotions flashing through his blood-red eyes. He stood upright. As the owner of this manor, he seemed to be a devil from another world.

He didn't explain much, he just said lightly: "Pauline, I awakened the bloodline of the vampire clan."

Pauline was stunned, with a trace of disbelief flashing in her eyes: "The bloodline of the Vampire Clan...what did you say? Have you become a Vampire Clan warlock?"

She subconsciously took a step back, as if she was carefully examining Ryan in front of her. She couldn't imagine what Ryan had gone through to transform from an ordinary wizard apprentice into a vampire warlock.

Ryan nodded slowly and whispered: "Yes, the bloodline of the Vampire Clan. This power is far beyond my previous imagination. It allowed me to quickly crawl out of the predicament of death, surpassing my limits."

He turned to look at the mountains of wealth. There was no greed in his eyes, but a hint of indifference: "This is my 'harvest', which I brought from the Heyman family."

Pauline was stunned, as if she still didn't fully understand what happened, but she still had a trace of reason and asked eagerly: "The Heyman family? Why are they dealing with you?"

A sneer appeared on Ryan's lips: "Yes, I went. I didn't intend to conflict with them, I just went to the auction to have a look. Unexpectedly, the Heyman family became greedy for me behind my back. They tried to They took me hostage and wanted to use me as their tool.”

Ryan's voice gradually became colder: "I didn't expect that they dared to be my enemy without knowing the bounds of heaven and earth. So, the situation developed to the point where I had to kill them. I can't tolerate anyone enslaving me, let alone let anyone think that I am my enemy. It will be a target for anyone to exploit."

Pauline looked at Ryan with mixed feelings. She had never seen Ryan so cold and ruthless, and the bloody aura and powerful aura emanating from him made her almost breathless.

But her words echoed in Ryan's ears: "As long as you are okay, Ryan...as long as you are okay." Her voice was soft, with deep emotion and comfort.

Ryan did not break the tranquility immediately. He felt Pauline's body heat, her hands tightly wrapped around his waist, as if afraid he would disappear. Her heartbeat accelerated and her breathing slowly became rapid in his arms.

The body is petite but full of voluptuousness, and it can be tender and wet with just a pinch.

There was an imperceptible softness in Ryan's eyes.

So he called the maid and walked into the bedroom together.

…

The morning light of the next day spilled into the room through the windows of the manor. The golden sunlight penetrated the thin curtains and shone on Ryan's sleeping face, as if quietly soothing the storm in his heart.

He moved slightly, but Pauline's arms were still tightly wrapped around him, refusing to let go.

Pauline moved slightly, as if she felt Ryan's movement, and she slowly opened her eyes. Those deep eyes looked at Ryan for an instant, with a slight panic flashing in them, but soon, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Ryan...you're awake." Pauline said softly, her tone full of reassurance and warmth, "You really scared me yesterday..."

Her voice trembled slightly, obviously recalling everything yesterday, she still couldn't calm down the fluctuations in her heart.

Ryan was silent for a moment, then gently let go of her arm and moved her away from him. He looked at her without much expression in his eyes, but there was a hint of complicated emotions in his calm eyes.

"Pauline," Ryan's voice was low and powerful, "you don't have to worry about me. I have become stronger than before and will no longer be hurt as easily as before, and I will not kill indiscriminately like the wandering wizard. innocent."

“Ryan,” Pauline said softly, her tone still gentle, but with a firmness that could not be ignored, “You are someone I trust, and I know your willpower and belief have always been strong.

But you must also understand that the power of blood is far from simple as you imagine.

After awakening the bloodline, it is not only the improvement of strength, but also the amplification of emotions and desires. You may gradually feel an invisible impulse that comes from the depths of your blood and will influence your decisions and even control your actions. "
