The Front Desk Miss pressed the button on the wall without hesitation.
Suddenly, the alarm blared.
Several fierce-looking female beast-kin rushed out.
They were quite large, and it was hard to tell what they ate to grow so big.
"This man is causing trouble! Quickly break both his legs!"
After saying that, she still felt it wasn't enough to vent her anger.
"Break his third leg too!"
Fox Demon Xue Nv was the Front Desk Miss's savior; Fox Demon Xue Nv had rescued her from slave traders.
She provided her, who had nothing, with shelter, food, and ensured her basic needs were met.
She would not allow anyone to insult Lady Fox Demon Xue Nv.
The crisp sound of a bell rang out.
Fox Demon Xue Nv herself appeared.
"Lady Xue Nv!" the Front Desk Miss shouted, both excited and respectful.
"You want to pick me?"
Fox Demon Xue Nv spoke with a questioning tone.
"That's right! When you come here to play, you pick the prettiest one!"
"That would truly be my honor! How much do you intend to spend to pick me?"
"I have no money; I plan to get it for free!"
Upon hearing this, Fox Demon Xue Nv had not yet said anything, but the Front Desk Miss couldn't hold back.
"Lady Xue Nv, why waste words with such a person? This kind of fellow should just be killed directly!"
"Apologize to him! Kneel and apologize!"
Fox Demon Xue Nv said, pointing at the Front Desk Miss.
The Front Desk Miss didn't understand why, but she still knelt down.
Here, no one could disobey Lady Xue Nv's orders.
"I'm sorry!"
"Are you satisfied, Young Master? She is now at your disposal! Even letting her lick your shoes is acceptable!" Fox Demon Xue Nv said.
"Get up! I have no intention of making others lick my shoes!"
The Front Desk Miss did not get up; if Fox Demon Xue Nv told her to kneel, she would kneel, and if she didn't tell her to get up, she wouldn't. She only listened to Fox Demon Xue Nv.
But her eyes still showed a lack of understanding.
"You can't understand, can you? Then I'll tell you! I am very familiar with her; she can be considered a friend!"
"You truly flatter me, Young Master. Everything I have belongs to you. What right do I have to sit equally with you as a friend! I will always belong to you!"
Fox Demon Xue Nv looked at Sino with gentle eyes, like flowing water.
The Front Desk Miss had never seen Fox Demon Xue Nv with such an expression.
"When will Young Master get me for free then!"
"I was joking!"
"But I took it seriously!" Fox Demon Xue Nv said with a slight smile... "You fox, don't get too pushy, have I given you too much face? You dead fox, are you perhaps a little unclear about your own status!"
Milia looked at Fox Demon Xue Nv and reprimanded her.
Sino pulled Milia into his arms and stroked Milia's head.
"Be good, don't argue, we are all on the same side!"
Milia instantly quieted down.
Milia also knew about Fox Demon Xue Nv; Sino had told her.
Simply put, Fox Demon Xue Nv originally had nothing, but Sino made her have everything.
Power, strength—these were all bestowed upon her by Sino; she easily obtained all of this with hardly any hardship.
Milia was angry because Fox Demon Xue Nv's words sounded like she was making things difficult for Sino.
Perhaps it was a joke, but servants had no right to joke with their master.
"It is my fault! I missed Young Master a bit too much!"
Fox Demon Xue Nv apologized.
"Lady Xue Nv, why are you apologizing to such a person? Where did you go wrong? You are absolutely not wrong!" the Front Desk Miss said at this moment.
She couldn't accept Fox Demon Xue Nv apologizing to someone who had just cursed her.
Even if saying this would mean death, she accepted it.
She just wanted to stand up for her respected Lady Xue Nv.
Xue Nv felt a murderous intent at this moment.
Perhaps the first time was not unintentional.
But still interjecting now, as a subordinate, was truly a bit ignorant of her place.
As Xue Nv was about to act, Sino moved.
Sino walked to the Front Desk Miss, reached out, and stroked her cat ears.
"Her loyalty is commendable, but her emotional intelligence is a bit lacking! A little education will suffice; there's no need for murderous intent!" Sino said to Fox Demon Xue Nv.
Perhaps to the Front Desk Miss, Fox Demon Xue Nv was a highly respected person, but to Fox Demon Xue Nv, the Front Desk Miss was dispensable.
Lawless City was not a gathering place for the benevolent; the people here were vicious and ruthless, devouring people without spitting out the bones.
Here, reading people and situations was a very important skill.
"Haven't you thanked Young Master yet? If not for Young Master, I would have killed you just now!"
Although the Front Desk Miss didn't quite understand, she still knelt towards Sino.
"Thank you!"
"Although I also want to go to your boudoir to discuss some processes of creating life, there are more important matters at hand right now!" Sino said.
"What is Young Master referring to?"
"The Legend of the Red Moon!"
...Meanwhile, Sid was still shopping.
He already had a dozen wallets in his hand.
Everyone who tried to steal Sid's wallet would have it stolen back by Sid.
Thus, he had a dozen wallets.
Sid noticed a ghoul in the alley.
Ghouls were also a type of vampire, but their strength was particularly weak; they only had high HP and were resistant to attacks.
Ghouls were walking corpses not acknowledged by vampires. They were the lowest-level vampires, without thought, only numbly following their vampiric instincts.
In the alley, a ghoul was currently being used as a punching bag by several men.
Those men were venting all their frustrations from life onto the ghoul.
At this moment, the moonlight suddenly turned redder.
The ghoul, which had been used as a punching bag, suddenly erupted and attacked the three men.
The three tried to resist but were all killed by the ghoul.
The ghoul, now following its instincts, walked towards Sid.
"Red Moon, rampaging vampires! It's getting interesting, everything is getting interesting!"
"At this time, should I pretend to be a fleeing ordinary person or appear as the Eminence in Shadow?"
"This scene of the Red Moon appearing and magic power surging is perfect for the Eminence in Shadow to appear; this is truly a perfect stage!"
"Young man over there, quickly step back!"
A red-haired woman appeared and slew the ghoul with a single sword strike.
"Who are you?" Sid asked.
"I am Mary, the last vampire hunter.
If you don't want to die, run away quickly!
Things are starting to get out of control!
The moon has turned very red, and time is running out!"
Sid repeated Mary's words, muttering to himself.
"The last vampire hunter!"
Listening to Mary's words, Sid felt his whole body tremble—it was excitement, thrill, a sense of resonance.
"What is this feeling? The title 'the last vampire hunter' is too cool, it perfectly fits the image of the Eminence in Shadow!"
"It's this enigmatic feeling! It perfectly, perfectly fits the feeling of the Eminence in Shadow! Mysterious, powerful, and a sense of knowing everything!"
Sid transformed into a shadow and began slaying ghouls on the street, then repeated the words Mary had just said.
Meanwhile, Mary, who had delivered the lines, noticed Claire on the street.
Claire was very strong; every ghoul that tried to attack her was instantly killed.
She now needed someone to help her; with her strength alone, it would be difficult to break into that tower.
"Seriously, why do things go wrong precisely after we arrive! Sino, please don't let anything happen to you! Oh, and Sid too!"
Claire muttered to herself.
Finally, Claire found a male corpse of similar build in an alley.
"I'm sorry, big sister didn't protect you well! Sino, big sister is sorry!"
Claire hugged the corpse and began to weep bitterly.
"You're looking for a Magic Swordsman, aren't you? The person in your arms isn't the one you're looking for!"
Mary appeared and spoke.
As a vampire, Mary was sensitive to blood; she could smell that Claire and the corpse had no blood relation.
Claire, regaining her senses, looked at the corpse in her arms.
"Who are you?!"
She immediately threw the corpse aside in disgust.
"I saw two youths of similar age earlier; one was laughing at the ghouls, and the other, ordinary-looking, was captured by vampires and taken into that tower!"
"Although my younger brother is ordinary, he would never laugh at ghouls!"
"Then he was captured and taken into the Vampire Tower. I can help you go to the Vampire Tower to rescue your younger brother! My name is Mary, the last vampire hunter!"
Mary knew that Sid was Claire's younger brother; she could smell his blood. But at this moment, she desperately needed combat power, and for her goal, she could only conceal the truth.
