The male supporting character was actually myself.

"Shh!"

The vampire in the black cloak had its fangs sticking out and was about to bite down when, at the same time, Emma's elaborate dress burst open, and two white, tentacle-like things emerged from her full breasts and burrowed directly into her body!

Before it could even bite Emma's neck, its fangs trembled, and its pale face contorted in disbelief as it looked down at its pierced body.

"Die!" Emma seized the opportunity to grab the other's arms, and with an indescribable sound, the black-cloaked vampire was forcibly torn into several pieces!

So when Edmund found the dilapidated warehouse using his powerful senses, he saw Emma lying on the ground, her clothes tattered and her upper body bare, her blood-soaked hands cradling a still-beating heart that was not yet completely dead.

His face, splattered with blood, was contorted with madness as he tore at the heart with his fangs, licking the gushing blood.

"My God!" Even Edmund, who had been to the battlefield, had never seen such a bloody and cruel scene. He was so frightened that he took two steps back and looked at Emma, ​​who was slender but looked like a terrifying beast, with a wary gaze.

"Oh, it's you." Emma gave him a sinister smile and waved him over. "Don't be shy, let's enjoy the delicious food together. Hurry up, the blood won't taste good if it gets cold."

Chapter 18 The Cappadocia Clan's Lair

Edmund took another step back, but the moment his gaze met the other person's violet eyes, he froze for a moment, then walked toward the other person mechanically with lifeless eyes.

"Edmund!" Jiang Chen appeared on the overgrown wall and coldly rebuked him.

"M-Master?" He stopped and turned around at the sound of the voice, then his expression changed as he realized something was wrong. He quickly retreated to Jiang Chen's side, saying with lingering fear, "I think...I think he just controlled my mind!"

"As expected, it's a charm-type ability. It seems that all the skills you've awakened are quite useful."

Emma's soul-snatching spell was easily broken. Her violet eyes narrowed slightly. She abandoned the heart that had already been drained, greedily licked the blood from her lips, and stared intently at the other party. "You ruined my plans!"

Jiang Chen scrutinized him from head to toe, then warned Edmund, "Did you see those two lumps on his chest?"

I've talked to you about this before when I was teaching—the fusion variants in the vampire clan.

Vampires who frequently drink the blood of their own kind have a chance to gain the skills of the other vampire, but there is also a chance that they will absorb the curse of the other vampire and gradually become neither human nor ghost.

Judging from the strange changes he's undergone, he's devoured the heart blood of at least ten vampires. If I hadn't arrived in time, you might have been next.

Recalling the strange events of just now, Edmund felt a wave of fear wash over him. "Thank you, my lord!"

"Host, the script has suddenly started updating!" The little white cat perched on his shoulder, stroking its whiskers as it reminded him.

Since he exposed Emma's true colors, even if Chloe is turned into a vampire later, the protagonist will no longer be able to try to let her come into contact with the vampires of the Cappadocia clan.

Therefore, the subsequent plot couldn't keep up, and the script team had to quickly patch and update it.

Jiang Chen was quite satisfied with this, patted Edmund on the shoulder and laughed: "You haven't seen the lifestyle of other clans yet, have you?"

"I'll take you to see it today, and while we're at it, I'll help Victoria clean up her own house."

Emma's expression changed slightly when the vampire she had never seen before revealed the secret in a single sentence.

Actually, I didn't intend to kill that handsome young man and devour his heart's blood. After all, it's not easy to find a fellow clansman who truly captures your heart.

She originally planned to use a soul-snatching technique to abduct him. As long as she could force-feed him the magic water concocted by the pharmacist, the handsome young man would be devoted to her!

Unexpectedly, an even more mysterious figure appeared out of nowhere, and the other party even mentioned the clan leader's name. He felt a sense of retreat and tried to escape in a flash.

"Do you think you can still walk?" Jiang Chen stood still, not noticing that Emma had made any move, but she was already bound by invisible ropes, and her mouth was gagged with something, so she could only struggle and whimper.

Edmund was astonished, speechless, as he witnessed the adult's sinister methods for the first time.

“You’re familiar with this area, so go and take the boy to a safe place. He won’t remember what happened when he wakes up.”

"Yes, sir. I'll be right back!"

Once he and the boy had disappeared from sight, Jiang Chen snapped his fingers to have the Soul Artifact block out Emma's hearing, took out the script to confirm it was being updated, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, we're seeing some initial results."

"Host, you can't let your guard down! Knowing the script team's nature, if we can't use this clan anymore, they'll definitely arrange for us to encounter other clans." The little white cat rubbed its fluffy round face against his neck and meowed, "We have to keep trying and try to turn things around completely!"

"So let's seize the opportunity to stir things up while the script is being updated!"

"Huh? What's going on, Host? Do you need my help?"

Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then whispered a few words in the little white cat's ear. The cat nodded and then hopped away, disappearing into the hazy twilight.

Moments later, night fell quickly, and candles lit up the streets, casting shadowy images of the people passing by.

It wasn't until they were walking towards the city center that Edmund suddenly remembered to ask, "Sir, who is Victoria?"

"The patriarch of the Cappadocia clan, my youngest sister." Jiang Chen, dressed in gorgeous clothes and holding a gold-inlaid cane, strolled ahead and led the way.

Edmund, with an expression of adoration, followed closely behind him;

With her clothes disheveled and tightly bound by Horcruxes, Emma was like a transparent person, being dragged behind them and brushing past the others, who treated her as if she were invisible.

“The Cappadocia clan loves lively places, and given Victoria’s personality, she would probably set up the clan’s residence under the theater or the most bustling tavern.”

Jiang Chen glanced back at Emma and asked, "You need to sleep in coffins, so the underground space must be very large."

Could it be... the largest theater in Un'Goro County?

Emma had no idea when she had fallen for his trick. She stopped struggling and whimpering, nodded obediently, and took the initiative to lead the way.

Edmund's respect for the master grew even stronger at this sight. And when he thought that he was the first vampire the master had ever converted in thousands of years, his gratitude was beyond words.

Half an hour later, the three people, moving at a speed that was imperceptible to ordinary people, stood in front of the magnificent theater.

Many guests come and go, and a quick glance reveals that among them are quite a few well-dressed vampires.

They roam the darkness, searching for their prey, playing with them until they're satisfied, then draining their blood and leaving their bodies in the wilderness.

Of course, the prey were mostly women who accompanied others to drink or sold goods.

Because of their lowly status and high mobility, it is common for them to suddenly make a lot of money or be noticed by wealthy men and disappear for ten days or half a month or even completely. Therefore, hunting them would not attract attention.

Under the dual threat of werewolves and hunters, the massive vampire clan must be extremely careful to avoid being targeted.

Emma, ​​whose mind was under control, took the initiative to step forward and whisper a few words to the man in black standing in the corner. The man nodded, opened the corner door of the theater behind him, and gestured for her to enter.

There were no candles lit behind the door; it was pitch black.

But this light is comfortable for vampires, who are best at moving in the dark and don't need any light at all.

"Emma? What happened to you?!" After descending the winding stone staircase to who-knows-how-many underground floors and finally arriving at a spacious hall, a vampire who had just crawled out of a coffin exclaimed, "Why did you bring a strange vampire here?"

Emma remained calm and unmoved, though the bloodstains on her face made her look somewhat ferocious.

He ignored the other person and walked straight to a pure black coffin with gold lacquer patterns. He respectfully knocked a few times and said, "Chief, two vampires from other clans request an audience with you."

Edmund was seeing this for the first time and looked around in surprise.

He was standing in a circular hall, which looked very much like an ancient amphitheater that adults had taken him to visit. However, all the seats around him were occupied by layers upon layers of densely packed coffins.

A rough estimate suggests there are at least a thousand coffins!

Judging from their colors and placement, they have a very strict hierarchy.

Emma's elder relatives seemed to be of middle-ranking status, and he had to report to them in order for the information to be passed down through the layers of management.

"It seems the Cappadocia clan has suffered heavy losses, shrinking to such a small size?"

Jiang Chen glanced at her, a hint of disdain on his face. He tapped the ground with his cane and said in a deafening voice, "Victoria, no wonder your descendants have degenerated to the point of killing each other!"

Chapter Nineteen Queen Victoria

The sudden sound quickly caused a commotion in the quiet cave.

"Who is he? Who brought him in?"

"Who dares to bring a strange vampire to their lair!"

"Whose name did he just call? Was it the clan chief?"

"Heh, if the clan leader hadn't gone into slumber, how could the discipline be so lax, allowing a strange vampire to enter the lair!"

"That's a really loud voice, what kind of skill is that?"

…………

Numerous vampires crawled out of the coffin, their faces pale and like corpses, staring menacingly at the two unfamiliar intruders.

Emma's elder sister, a stunningly beautiful woman, was immediately enraged upon hearing this reprimand after being woken up. "Emma, ​​what kind of thing did you bring in? You've disturbed the clan leader's slumber; she'll definitely tear you to pieces!"

When confronted by her elders, Emma remained unresponsive, standing motionless like a puppet.

Just as chaos erupted in the hall, with many arrogant new vampires eager to prey on them, a muffled rumbling sound came from underground.

The marble floor trembled slightly, as if something was awakening from underground.

Upon seeing this, many vampires retreated back into their coffins, not daring to even breathe loudly—the clan leader would surely be enraged if disturbed in his slumber!

Following the sound, Edmund noticed a circular protrusion in the center of the hall, engraved with intricate patterns. The patterns were now rotating, forming new lines, and slowly sinking to reveal a bottomless opening.

"hiss……"

A powerful aura of bloodline pressure instantly spread out, and the vampires hiding in the coffins trembled and let out a hiss of submission;

Emma, ​​unable to return to her coffin due to being controlled by others, was already lying on the ground, trembling all over;

Upon sensing this intense and terrifying aura, Edmund nearly collapsed to his knees.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen immediately placed his hand on his shoulder, which dissipated the oppressive aura and allowed him to stand upright.

"You may meet other clan chiefs in the future, so remember to stay close to me. Victoria's authority isn't that great, but if you run into those troublesome guys, they might play a trick on you."

"Yes, sir!" Edmund felt even more grateful to him after being exposed to new knowledge.

As clan leaders, the adults have never used their bloodline pressure to force them to do anything.

This shows how tolerant and benevolent he was.

The rumbling sound continued, and a moment later a huge stone coffin, carved with patterns and inlaid with various gemstones, stood in the center of the hall.

"Crack!"

With a series of mechanical sounds, the front of the huge, standing stone coffin slowly opened, as if opening an ancient gate.

"My dear Seventh Brother, it seems rather impolite to disturb your little sister's rest like this."

Wearing a red, retro-style, elaborate dress, Victoria opened her turquoise eyes, her soft voice carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"Greetings, Chieftain!"

All the vampires of the Cappadocia clan present hurriedly crawled out, prostrated themselves on the ground, and shouted with utmost respect;

At the same time, the other vampires summoned by the pressure of their bloodline hurriedly abandoned their hunt and returned to their lair, preparing to kneel before their clan leader.
