Seeing their leader's ambiguous attitude towards that mysterious and powerful being, the vampires of the Volturi family below expressed their dissatisfaction.
"Shut up, all of you! Isn't the situation bad enough already?" Hearing the family members' inappropriate remarks, Aro slammed his hand on the table and scolded, "Anyone who wants revenge can go and take it themselves. But until then, he will no longer be a member of the Volturi family."
As the head of the Volturi family, Aro possesses strength approaching that of a duke. Although he is usually elegant, he can be quite frightening when he gets angry.
The vampires in the room, who had been in a mess, immediately fell silent.
Aro was satisfied with the result, then turned to Caius and asked, "So, how about we assign the task of contacting that young man to you?"
The last time Voltu went to Genovia, it was to fight for land; this time, it's to negotiate.
So sending Caius, an "old acquaintance," seems like the most appropriate choice.
The leader's words almost made Caius jump up.
"No, I don't want to see that scoundrel again. Let whoever wants to go, go. I'm not going." Caius's voice trembled with emotion, almost tearing.
The vampires below, seeing the Second Elder's comical appearance, couldn't help but laugh again.
"Quiet down!" Aro was disgusted by this lack of discipline. After loudly reprimanding the vampires, he looked at the Second Elder seriously and asked, "Why are you so afraid of that young man? There must be a reason, right?"
“I’ve said it before, he’s incredibly powerful, to the point that I can’t even muster the will to resist,” Caius continued, trying to make his point. “To put it bluntly, he could probably wipe out everyone here by himself. Including you…”
The Volturi family is one of the three major werewolf and vampire families in Washington state, and their power far surpasses that of the other two families.
If anyone else had told Aro that the Volturi family would be wiped out by one person, he would have just laughed it off.
But if this person is the cautious Caius, then Aro will have to take him seriously.
The two had worked together for nearly a thousand years, and Aro knew the Second Elder very well; he knew the other would not joke about such a thing.
"Marcus, what do you say?" Aro, with mixed feelings, turned to look at the Third Elder on the other side.
This third elder of the Volturi family was not a man of many words, but he was a very reliable person.
“If the other side is really as powerful as Caius said, then we can only leave it to fate.” Marcus shook his head and said, “But before that, we should deal with the matter of the newborn of the Cullen family.”
Here it should be mentioned that vampire cubs are naturally very bloodthirsty before their personalities mature, much like a human child going through a rebellious phase.
The growth of such a young vampire is always accompanied by endless troubles. Especially those with purer bloodlines, because they cannot restrain their powerful abilities, the troubles they cause are only greater.
Normally, the birth of a new vampire isn't a big problem; at most, the vampire's family will suffer a bit more and have to do more "cleanup" work.
But the situation is different now. If a little vampire loses control of his power and causes trouble everywhere, he may be targeted by the Men in Black special forces.
At that time, it won't just be the little vampire and his family who suffer; their fellow vampires in the surrounding area will certainly be affected as well.
Judging from this, Mike's actions in "dealing with" the werewolves and vampires in Apple City were very effective.
It has already deterred the vampires as far away as Washington state.
The Volturi family held this clan meeting to discuss how to handle the newborn of the Cullen family in order to avoid being targeted by the Men in Black.
“Yes, we should deal with the Cullen family first.” Arro was pulled back to his senses by Marcus and said, “They violated the vampire pact and deserve an explanation.”
In response to the current situation, the werewolves and vampires living in the Washington area, led by the three major families, discussed an alliance treaty.
The prohibition against producing newborn vampires was one of the provisions of that alliance treaty.
The purpose is to suppress uncertainties and prevent uncontrollable newborn vampires from causing trouble, thereby attracting the attention of relevant departments.
This is for the sake of the entire werewolf and vampire race, so this time "justice" stands on the side of the Volturi family.
Chapter 464 City of the Wilderness
Returning to the three major families in Washington State, they are the Volto family, the Cullen family, and the Wolf family.
Among them, the Volturi and Cullen families are vampire families, while the Wolf family is a family composed of werewolves.
Yes, here, werewolves and vampires, who have fought for thousands of years, have reached an alliance agreement.
There are many reasons why werewolves and vampires can "coexist peacefully." However, the most important reason is probably that human "power" is becoming increasingly strong, threatening the survival of both races.
For the sake of their survival, werewolves and vampires were forced to temporarily set aside their hatred and form an alliance.
“Irena, tell me what you saw.” Aro looked down and reported the female vampire from the Karen family.
“Okay~” Irina explained, “That day I was hunting in the forest when I suddenly heard children’s laughter. When I got closer, I found that it was the Karen family playing with a child. I’m sure that child was a newborn vampire…”
"After I discovered the little vampire, the Cullen family panicked and considered leaving me there. Luckily, I realized the situation was not right and immediately chose to leave."
"By the way, I also saw a lot of random vampires from the surrounding area hanging out with the Cullen family that day."
Because it was her own experience, Irina described the events of that day in great detail.
“I’ve long suspected that the Karen family is restless. Now they’re not only violating the alliance agreement, but also secretly contacting surrounding vampire forces. What are they planning to do?” Aro’s expression gradually turned grim.
In recent years, although the Volturi family has always been the most powerful of the three major families, the Cullen family is not far behind, and its power has grown very rapidly, showing a trend of rivaling the Volturi family.
This made Aro feel a great sense of crisis.
Even without a newborn, Aro couldn't accept the Cullen family's continued expansion, so he turned to the Third Elder and said, "Marcus, go contact the Wolf family and tell them about the newborn. Then invite them to come with us to demand an explanation from the Cullen family."
Aro, who was already thinking about how to suppress the Karen family, found a perfect excuse in the newborn's situation.
This would also be a good excuse to bring the werewolf faction into their camp.
“Understood, I’ll contact Sam in a bit.” Marcus nodded, accepting the task.
“Then Caius, go and inform the Cullen family that their scheme has been exposed. The other two families need them to provide a solution.” Aro then looked at the Third Elder.
The head of the Volturi family knew that the Cullen family members were very sentimental.
To put it simply, it means they value family very much.
Therefore, the Cullen family would definitely not agree to let them provide a solution: killing the newborn vampires.
Finally, both sides will probably gather their forces and fight a battle, and the winner will have the final say.
This is also what Aro wanted to see.
After all, the Volturi family is stronger than the Cullen family now, not to mention that the Wolf family will help them later.
Upon hearing the task assigned by the leader, Caius did not immediately agree, but instead appeared hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong, Caius? Is there anything else?" Aro asked.
“No, your decision is very wise, but what about Genovya?” Caius countered.
In the past, if there had been an opportunity to weaken the Cullen family, Caius would have readily agreed.
But ever since he saw that terrifying young man in Genovia, Caius felt as if a thorn had been planted in his heart.
It felt like having the Sword of Damocles hanging over your head.
Caius cannot rest easy until this crisis is dealt with.
"You mean that powerful young man?" Aro paused for a moment, feeling helpless.
Caius described the opponent as so formidable that a fight would be futile. Sending someone to make contact was out of the question, but Caius, the second elder, was unwilling to go.
Then we can only put it off for now and figure out a solution after this matter is resolved.
"Two days have passed, and the other party hasn't come looking for us yet, which proves that he might not care that much about what happened before..." Aro reassured the Second Elder, "How about this, when the opportunity arises, I'll go and meet him myself. Now you can rest assured, right?"
Since the leader has said so, what objection could Caius possibly have?
"That's the only way." Caius nodded, but he was still a little uneasy.
“Very well, then it’s decided.” Aro didn’t wait for the Second Elder to say anything more and directly finalized the arrangements for Genovya. Then he looked at the other party and continued, “But before that, I need you to help me contact the werewolves first.”
Having never actually met Mike, Aro wasn't actually that sensitive to the danger the Second Elder spoke of, and it wasn't even as great a threat as the Cullen family.
Besides, you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.
Seeing the Second Elder nod again, Aro said directly, "Then it's decided. Marcus and Caius will contact the werewolves and the Cullen family, and the others should also prepare for battle."
"This new vampire incident has already threatened our safety, so we must prepare for the worst."
What's the worst-case scenario? It's going to war with the Cullen family.
The Volturi members, who also disliked the Cullen family, all chimed in to their leader, looking eager for battle.
"Alright, that's all for now. Everyone, go and get ready." Satisfied with everyone's reaction, Aro smiled and announced the meeting was over.
……
"Wow, this place is really desolate..." At the same time, Mike's figure landed in a remote wilderness in Washington State. It was already summer, but there was still some snow that had not melted, which showed how harsh the environment was.
"However, the smells of werewolves and vampires are mixed up here... Interesting~"
With his super-sensitive five senses, Mike determined his location and headed towards the place with the closest scent.
After traversing the wilderness and thorns, a massive fortress, constructed entirely of wood, soon appeared before him.
"Aren't you coming out yet, werewolf?" Mike asked, stopping at the entrance to the wooden city and looking at the bushes.
[Enhanced Five Senses (Trace)]...[Archery Experience +99]...[Hunting Experience +99]...
The distinctive scent of werewolves in the bushes was as clear to Mike as fireflies in the night.
"What should we do, Captain? It seems like he's spotted us."
Hidden in a secluded spot, a small team of five werewolves on guard duty were discussing their plan.
The Wolf family built their stronghold in such a remote place because they were afraid of being discovered by humans and thus causing trouble for their clan.
The werewolf pack led by Sam, through generations of optimization by their ancestors, has actually been able to control their wild nature quite well.
Even when transformed into a werewolf fighting form, it will not lose its rationality.
To be honest, they are getting closer and closer to being "human".
"What else can we do? They've already discovered our identities. We can only capture him and hand him over to the leader..." The werewolf squad leader tugged at his hair in frustration.
This situation is indeed very difficult to handle.
The werewolves here haven't had contact with humans for a long time, and the role of the guard team is to drive away any humans who accidentally wander in.
Now that Mike has revealed their identities, they can't let him leave so easily.
With the sound of arrows whistling through the air, Mike was soon surrounded by arrows within a meter of him.
Then five werewolves dressed in fur surrounded him.
"Human, you've crossed the line. We're taking you to see the leader. Whether you survive or not depends on your luck." To enhance his intimidation, the werewolf squad leader even bared his fangs.
It just goes to show that ignorance is bliss.
If it weren't for the fact that these werewolves didn't seem to intend to kill anyone, Mike would have turned them into monsters long ago.
"Hunting wild animals for a living? There's still hope..."
Mike, using his mind-reading ability, spoke in a language the werewolves couldn't understand.
Before the werewolves could even wonder why the human in front of them was so calm, they were all subjected to [sense stripping] and [charm], which controlled their behavior.
"Alright, now take me to see your leader, Sam." Mike snapped his fingers and ordered the werewolf watch squad.
Dealing with werewolves and vampires is a long-term task. Since we've already encountered the Wolf family today, Mike doesn't mind working overtime.
Moreover, the Volturi family should be nearby, so overall it shouldn't take too much trouble.
Chapter 465 Subduing the Werewolf
"A newborn vampire?" Sam, the current werewolf leader in the werewolf stronghold, looked grave after hearing Marcus's report.
Like vampires, werewolves are now in a bad situation because of their ancestors' reputation.
Once discovered by human authorities, they will likely face endless troubles, and extinction is not out of the question.
Therefore, to avoid being implicated by the newborn of the Cullen family, Sam thought for a long time and then said, "The Cullen family has violated the alliance treaty, and the Wolf family has agreed to unite with the Volturi family."
"only……"
Seemingly harboring some unspeakable secret, the werewolf leader hesitated as he spoke.
"Chief Sam, what other concerns do you have?" Marcus asked at the opportune moment.
“I wouldn’t call it a concern, it’s just that there’s been a problem within the werewolf pack…” Sam shook his head and looked at another strong werewolf in the room, saying, “Let Billy explain the details!”
Werewolves choose their leaders not only based on bloodline but also on ability, and Billy Black is a descendant of the werewolf high priest and the previous werewolf leader.
He only stepped down and handed over leadership to Sam because his combat strength was far inferior to that of the current leader.
