Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

"Gorton City." Lor replied.

"Gordon... well, it's not too far."

Lucinda on the opposite side pondered for a moment and said:

"I'll arrive in a week. Please help me keep an eye on the target and report any movements to me immediately. As long as you inject spiritual power into the conch, you can talk to me at any time."

After saying this, the communication came to an abrupt end.

There was no chance for Lor to obtain further information.

"But at least we've confirmed the exact time she'll arrive in Gordon City," Lor muttered to himself. "A week later... Fortunately, she'll arrive a little later than Her Excellency the Saint."

This way, we will have more time to prepare.

"Lore."

Isabella suddenly said:

"I think I know what you're going to say next... The Church will definitely invest a lot of resources in dealing with Lucinda this time, so I'd better stay away, right? Besides, with my current strength, even if I face her, the chances of winning are slim, right?"

"But even so, I can't stay out of this! This is my own business after all, and I won't let it go until I see that woman get the retribution she deserves!"

"You're wrong." Lor interrupted.

"Eh?"

"Don't worry, Isabella. I won't let you leave Gordon City. While I can't guarantee you'll be able to personally slay your enemies, I will at least let you witness the moment 'Vampire Lucinda' is punished and killed... I swear to the Holy Light."

As he spoke, Lor raised two fingers.

But this time, it's no joke.

Hearing this, Isabella pursed her lips and lowered her pretty face slightly. After a long silence, she mumbled two words:

"……Thanks."

"What did you say just now, Miss?" Lor pretended not to hear clearly and said with a smile.

"Nothing! Just ignore me!" Isabella blushed and stood up and walked towards the door. "...The 'tea party' is over a long time ago. Shouldn't we go home? Stop dawdling and follow me, servant!"

"Go home? Why do you want to go home?"

Lor raised his eyebrows, walked to the luxurious bed in the room, and lay on his back.

It's definitely much more comfortable than my bed at home.

"After spending a fortune on such a luxurious room, I should at least sleep in it once. Otherwise, it would be a waste of money, right? There are still a few hours until dawn, so I can still catch some sleep if I don't."

“That’s true…”

Isabella hesitated for a moment, closed the door again, and locked it.

"You're just a servant, yet you're so arrogant! Get out of the way and make some room for me! ... See this line? The left side belongs to me, and the right side belongs to you! Don't cross the line, or I'll break your hands!"

"Hey, hey, you only gave me a quarter? That's too unfair, right?"

"Humph, letting you sleep on the bed is already very good! Why don't you thank the master?"

"Come to think of it, the room next door is actually unoccupied..." Lor sat up, "I can sneak over there and sleep for a while. As long as I leave before dawn, I shouldn't be discovered..."

"Hey, don't leave! Come back here!"

Isabella flew up, pressed her body tightly against Lor's back, and then used her slender arms to tightly strangle his neck.

"Ahem...be gentle, Miss..." Lor begged for mercy, "I was just joking, I won't really leave..."

"You promise?" Isabella let go of him slightly.

"Well, I promise." Lor replied seriously, "From now on, I won't let you be alone again."

45. Same with you

The night sky, which was originally as dark as ink, has begun to turn slightly white.

Isabella tossed and turned in bed, her heart pounding like a deer, and she couldn't fall asleep.

What exactly did Lor mean by what he just said?

What does "From now on, I will never let you be alone again" mean?

Could it be... a confession?

The girl held her hot cheeks with both hands, turned her back to Lor, and didn't dare to look at the man at all.

Calm down!

I must be overthinking this. It's just a simple sentence... Lor, as a follower, is showing his loyalty to me, his master! Yes, that's it!

Humph, that guy Lor is finally starting to recognize his own position.

This is so true!

Or maybe, after listening to what I said about the past, he began to sympathize and feel sorry for me?

Quite arrogant.

Forget it, don't think too much about it. It doesn't matter what he thinks of me. Being able to use the power of the church to kill that woman is also a good thing for me... Although I didn't succeed last time, this time with Lor here, I won't let that woman escape again!

I have to admit that Lor is quite smart and reliable at critical moments.

Although I was just trying to protect myself at the beginning, I thought I could use this guy and restore my strength by sucking his blood. That's when I had an idea and signed a "family contract" with him.

Unexpectedly, I picked up a treasure by accident.

Plus, he's good-looking, which just suits my taste. It makes me want to tease him from time to time...

No, why should I keep praising him in my heart?

It's as if I've fallen in love with him!

Damn it, a mere relative has made me so upset!

"Hey, Lor, are you asleep?" Isabella turned over.

"Falling asleep." Lor said, "Hoohoohoo..."

"Stop pretending! I know your physical condition very well. Judging from your current breathing rate, I can be sure that you are not asleep!"

"I've already spoken, and you still have to rely on my breathing rate to judge?" Lor lost his composure. "Hmm, very clever... Hey, why did you kick me all of a sudden? By the way, did you cross the line just now?"

"Stop talking nonsense. I'll cross the line if I want to!"

"Tsk tsk, then what's the point of drawing this line? I crossed it, and you only gave me this little space. I can't even stretch my arms..."

"Don't you want your hands anymore?" Isabella said with a smile.

“It’s unreasonable.”

"Hmph, you're being unreasonable. What can you do to me?" Isabella became more and more aggressive, poking Lor's side with her smooth little feet, the most itchy spot.

"Then I can only... Hey!"

Lor suddenly exerted force, grabbed Isabella's feet, and took the initiative.

"Ahahahaha! It's itchy! It's so itchy! Stop tickling the soles of my feet!" The girl twisted her body and laughed uncontrollably. "Stupid Lor, you're breaking the rules!"

"Where was the foul? I didn't cross the line. You were the one who stretched your foot over there."

"I beg for mercy! Isn't it enough for me to beg for mercy? Hahahaha!" Isabella slapped the bed with her hands and surrendered.

Lor thought that was enough, so he let go of Isabella's feet.

After all, she is a demigod-level powerhouse. If she gets serious about her quarrels, I will be the one who will suffer the consequences...

"Alright, alright, stop tossing and turning." He exhaled and said, "Even if you can't sleep, just close your eyes and lie down quietly. Let me think about something quietly."

"What are you thinking about? Let me, a clever lady, give you some advice!"

"I'm thinking about how to tell the captain about 'Vampire Lucinda's upcoming arrival in Gordon City'... We need to keep both your story and the Dark Moon Society's story secret, so I need to come up with a suitable excuse..."

Hearing this, Isabella bit her index finger lightly, her eyes rolling around:

"I have a plan! Let's say you discovered some clues about a vampire a few days ago. After some investigation, you discovered that this vampire was actually a lackey of the infamous 'Vampire Lucinda'! You also found letters between him and that woman, saying that she would come to Gordon City next week!"

"Pure fabrication?" Lor sighed. "Ah, young lady, let me teach you a lesson... Lying has to be half true, half false, based on indisputable facts to be more credible."

"I'm not making this up! I did find a vampire yesterday, but I burned him to ashes..."

Isabella told the story of the "rich second generation" Victor Monroe.

"I see. No wonder you felt weird yesterday. You did this behind my back."

Lor frowned slightly:

"Hmm...burning the entire scene down was a bit brutal, but it was handled properly...Since the Church didn't intervene, it means you didn't leave any clues involving supernatural powers. The incident was treated as a simple 'fire'."

"I've already told you that I'm very smart!"

"Alright, I'll give you credit for being clever this time." Lor sighed, "But you might not be so lucky next time... If something similar happens again, could you please discuss it with me first, Miss?"

"Okay, okay, I got it!" Isabella said impatiently.

To be honest, the dead Victor Monroe can indeed be used.

The plan Isabella just proposed is also a solution.

However, the last time I asked Captain Ronina for information about the Dark Moon Society, I used the excuse of the Eternal Life Society, which could not testify against anyone... Now, using the same trick again would be somewhat unnatural, and might even arouse Captain Ronina's suspicion.

It has to be a little flexible.

……correct.

I can fabricate some "evidence" in advance that is sufficient to reveal the connection between Victor Monroe and Lucinda, and then let other colleagues "accidentally discover" it, and then guide them to come to the conclusion that "Lucinda is about to come to Gordon City"!

In this way, you can achieve your goal and at the same time distance yourself from the matter.

Well, let’s do it!

The next question is who should "accidentally discover" this evidence.

"Hey, Lor, what are you thinking about? Why aren't you talking?" Isabella asked.

"I was thinking about Vivian."

"You are so bold! I am right beside you, why are you still thinking about your female colleague? Don't think about her!"

Isabella flipped over and rode on Lor, grabbing his head with both hands, one on each side, and shaking it vigorously, as if doing so could drive away all the inappropriate thoughts about his female colleague from Lor's mind.

"Hey, stop it... Ouch!"

While playing around, the two suddenly realized that their faces were very close to each other.

The bodies were also pressed tightly together.

Their heavy breathing mixed together, Lor's breath was hot, Isabella's breath was slightly cool, intertwined together, becoming ambiguous and misty.

"Where are you touching with your hands?" Isabella's ears flushed red as she moaned, "Pervert."

"Let's be friends." Lor's breathing became more and more rapid. "I want to pull my hands back... but you're holding my arms so tightly, I can't move."

"Oh, so you're blaming me? Your follower is so bold and presumptuous, I have to teach him a lesson."

As she spoke, Isabella's soft lips gradually moved closer:

"I'm going to revise our vassal contract again so you can't contradict me again... If you ever make me unhappy, I'll punish you by making you buy me some dessert..."

Her words were soft and her eyes were confused.

"It's just a small matter, there's no need to modify the contract specifically," Lor said with a smile. "Besides, if you want to modify the contract, can't you just kiss the forehead? But looking at your posture..."

"Shut up. I'll kiss you wherever you want!"

46. ​​Abandoned Child

A two-masted sailing ship was sailing on the vast ocean in the night.

The ship is quite large and it can be seen that it should have been quite luxurious and magnificent, but now it is in a dilapidated state.

There were horrific cracks on the mast, and it would be no surprise if it broke at any time; there were several holes in the hull, and the railings on both sides of the deck were incomplete... It looked like it had just experienced a terrible shipwreck.

Moreover, it was not just a simple shipwreck.

Near the stern, there were three horrifying scars that were parallel to each other and nearly ten meters long... The shape of them looked like they were scratched by the claws of some giant monster.
