Please be my partner.

The ferocious beast ignored everything and crashed directly into the castle. Its body, which was larger than the entire castle, directly destroyed the latter.

High in the sky, a group of elite members of the Reginal family, led by Mellen, were floating there.

Seeing Mellen display his strength, everyone looked at him with enthusiasm and admiration.

Melen said calmly, "Erni, anyone who dares to approach will be killed without mercy."

Erni responded loudly: "Yes! Chief!"

Then he took a group of people to set up an interception net.

Melen continued to issue orders: "I want the saints in the castle alive, and all the others must be dealt with."

The four vampire marquises behind him bowed in response to the order and transformed into four beams of blood light rushing towards the ruined castle.

Although Mellen's attack was powerful, the remaining force could not directly kill the saint after being blocked by the layers of obstacles in the castle. The three saints of the Bonaparte family were only slightly injured. Of course, the other people in the castle could not escape.

The fierce battle did not last long, and soon the three saints of the Bonaparte family were bound by blood and brought to Mellen.

One of them looked at Mellen with a look of surprise, shock, disbelief, and finally dejection. He said, "You win. From now on, the Bonaparte family is willing to become a vassal of the Reginal family."

Mellen smiled and said, "Well, that's not necessary."

The last thing the three saints of the Bonaparte family saw was a roaring blood-filled sky.

Chapter 489: Supreme Council and Promotion Procedure

The news of the destruction of the Bonaparte family soon reached the ears of the other two families.

After experiencing shock, bewilderment, and disbelief, the two families finally confirmed the fact. At this moment, Mellen issued them an ultimatum...

Surrender or be destroyed!

Of course, the two major families were unwilling to become vassals of other families, and immediately mobilized their own connections to contact one of the thirteen clans they were on good terms with. The latter also promised to send someone to intervene in the matter.

But what no one expected was that the envoys of the thirteen clans were unable to enter the Bell Realm.

Because the entire Bell Realm was surrounded by a blood-colored power filled with the breath of the abyss. This power had a subtle meaning of transcending saints. The envoy of the Thirteen Clans was frightened the moment he came into contact with it, and then he did not dare to neglect and immediately reported it to the top leaders of the Thirteen Clans.

If it was just an attack between some lower-class families at the beginning, then when a power that could vaguely surpass that of a saint appeared, the nature of this matter became completely different for the thirteen clans.

This left the two major families dumbfounded. They urged the Thirteen Clans to send people quickly, while contacting the Reginal Family to try to delay time.

Melen remained unmoved by this and waited indifferently for the final time to come.

During this process, those small families that had previously been hypocritical towards the Reginal family came closer again. In order to prevent being liquidated, they reluctantly paid the tributes that had been in arrears for many years, and the amount was three times the amount.

In the end, the two major families failed to obtain the miracle they wanted. In order to avoid the destruction of their families like the Bonaparte family, they successively expressed their surrender and became vassals of the Reginal family.

Melen understood that surrender at this time was only a temporary measure for the two families. Unless the Reginal family spent hundreds or even thousands of years to divide and disintegrate the two families, it would be possible to truly make the latter become its vassal.

During this process, if any changes occur in the Reginal family and cannot be suppressed, the two major families will inevitably rebel.

This can be considered as a traditional skill of the vampires.

To be honest, it is said that the Bonaparte family was destroyed by Mellen, but that is not entirely true. It can only be said that most of the legendary beings in the Bonaparte family were killed, but there are actually still many bloodline members left.

These remaining members of the Bonaparte family may gather together again and form a new vampire family. They will give up the Bonaparte surname and start all over again.

Not wiping out any bloodline family is also one of the traditions of the blood clan.

There is no such cruel saying as eradicating the roots within the blood clan.

After completing the actual unification of the Bell Realm, Melen was not idle either. He directly delivered a letter to the Supreme Council of the Thirteen Clans of the Blood Clan World, thus opening the prelude to a more grand event.

The blood clan world, as the core of the entire world community, gathers the true essence of the entire blood clan, and the thirteen clans are the ruling class among them.

The Supreme Council is an organization formed by the thirteen clans to jointly decide on important matters in the entire vampire world.

Of course, because the thirteen clans each have their own sphere of influence and different interests, the Supreme Council often becomes a place where they argue with each other.

But what I encountered this time was obviously different.

"The Reginal family? I've never heard of it. Does anyone know?"

"I seem to have some impression. Let me think... That's right, isn't this the small family that caused the scandal between the Fatau and Hilal families hundreds of years ago? A noblewoman from the Hilal family fell in love with a boy from this small family. Oh, such pure love! If it were you, the Fatau family should cancel the engagement and let this couple be together."

"Come to think of it, I do have some recollection of it. It seems this incident caused quite a stir back then. Does the Reginald family still exist? It seems to be doing quite well."

"Humph! It's just the mischief of young people. How could it possibly implicate a Marquis family? At most, they'll just give them some minor punishment."

"What do we do now? A counterattack by the weak? Hehe, things seem to be getting interesting."

"Everyone, I have to remind you that we are gathered here today to solve the problems of the Bell World, not to chat about gossip."

"The Reginal family actually dared to blockade the Bell Realm and keep the envoys of the thirteen clans out. This is indeed an act of usurpation and they should be taught a lesson. I propose that the Reginal family leader be summoned to the Supreme Council to stand trial. This would also give him a fair opportunity to defend himself. What do you think?"

After a moment of discussion, the others gave their answers...

"agree!"

"Reconsideration!"

"Reconsideration!"

"So be it!"

"..."

Faced with everyone's unanimous agreement, the rotating speaker was about to make the final decision when there was a sudden knock on the door outside the parliament hall.

The rotating speaker frowned, but he also understood that someone dared to knock on the door at this time, which meant something special must have happened, so he unlocked the permission.

As the door of the parliament hall was opened, a vampire quickly came to the rotating speaker and handed over a very formal letter.

The rotating speaker glanced at the vampire who delivered the letter, then took out the opened letter and read it.

The rotating speaker read it very slowly, and as if to confirm something, he read the letter twice in a row before passing it to other members.

After all the members had finished reading it, they showed strange or puzzled expressions, and the representatives of the Fatau and Hilal families were even full of ridicule.

The rotating speaker said slowly, "As you can see, the Reginal family has applied to start the family promotion process, hoping to become a member of the Thirteen Clans."

"According to the rules, the Reginal family does have the qualifications."

The other members sneered and gave a unified answer...

"In that case, let's start the promotion process."

"Yes, I haven't seen this kind of fun in a long time."

"Can't you guys be serious? If the Reginal family really passes the promotion process, then our thirteen clans will become fourteen clans."

"Hehe, there can be such a reversal. It's getting more and more interesting."

"..."

Bell Realm, Reginal Family.

As expected, Mellen received a reply from the Supreme Council, asking him to lead the Reginal family members to the Supreme Council of the Vampire World to officially start the family promotion process.

The so-called family promotion procedure is also a formal promotion channel opened by the Thirteen Clans for the following blood clans. If a family can complete the promotion procedure, it can join the Supreme Council and become a new clan.

Unfortunately, in the hundreds of thousands of years since this rule came into being, no family has ever been able to complete the promotion process.

The reason why Melen made this choice is very simple. Because when a new clan is born, a grand promotion ceremony will be held, and all the blood clan ancestors will come to watch the ceremony.

And this is exactly what Mellen needs.

Melen had no way of knowing the location of the blood clan ancestors. Even if he spent time to find one or two of them, it would arouse the vigilance of other blood clan ancestors. Instead of doing that, it would be better to gather them together and catch them all in one fell swoop.

The only drawback of this approach is that Mellen needs to face six blood clan demigods at once, so he has to do so much preparation before coming to the blood clan world.

Now, the plan has finally reached the final stage.

As long as Melen achieves this level of promotion that no one has ever achieved before, he will be able to gather all the blood clan ancestors together.

"Boom!~"

The door to the conference room was violently thrown open, and Carmine, who had been gradually marginalized, stormed in and shouted, "Cruzerai, do you even know what you're doing? Do you want the Reginal Family to be destroyed?!"

Ernie, who had become Mellen's loyal lackey, immediately stood up and locked onto Carmine. As long as Mellen gave the order, he would throw the former acting patriarch out of the meeting room without hesitation.

Mellen waved his hand and said, "Uncle Carmine, I know exactly what I am doing. I am leading the Reginale family into a new future, which will reach unprecedented heights."

Listening to Mellen's casual words, Carmine's expression was almost distorted. There was jealousy in it, but more of it was fear. Of course, what he was afraid of at this time was the Thirteen Clans and the consequences of the promotion process failing to be completed.

Since the rules of the promotion procedure came into being, it naturally attracted countless powerful blood families to flock to it. However, after their failure, they were all without exception suppressed by the thirteen clans and gradually declined.

This is also the fundamental reason why promotion has become an unnecessary form today.

Carmine yelled, "You bastard, you know nothing! You are unfit to be the head of the Reginal family. I'm going to call a family meeting and remove your authority!"

Mellen glanced at Ernie indifferently, and the latter immediately understood. He suddenly punched Carmine in the face, making him stop talking, and then dragged him out of the meeting room like a dead dog.

After resolving this minor incident, Melen continued his previous topic: "Anyway, this time, all the elite members of the Reginal Family will accompany me to the Supreme Council of the Blood Clan World. When the time comes, I will naturally give you an answer."

"Yes! Lord Patriarch!"

Although some people still have doubts, Mellen is already at the peak of his career in the Reginal family at this time, and his strength is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if he reaches a level of promotion that no one has been able to achieve so far, perhaps it is not impossible... right?

After three days of preparation, the Reginal family was ready to go. As vassals of the Reginal family, the other two major families in the Bell Realm could only follow with bitter faces. However, in addition to all the saints in the family leading the team, the latter two only brought a small number of legendary elites, and not all of their men were sent.

Entering the world of vampires through the teleportation array, even the air here is filled with a sweet scent.

A well-dressed vampire came up to Mellen and said politely, "You are Mr. Cruzere, the patriarch of the Reginal family, right? Your persistence in love is admirable. It's a pity that you and Miss Alyssa didn't end up together. It's really a pity."

Mellen looked at the other person, and a question mark slowly floated over his head.

He had a vague feeling that Cruzerei's original incident had long since changed its original form after being spread through layers of information. Perhaps some rather outrageous settings had been added to it.

Mellen's mouth twitched and he said, "I came here to get the family promotion program."

The vampire's eyes sparkled even brighter as he said, "Of course, what you are doing now is enough to embarrass the Fatau and Hillar families. Your courage is admirable."

"I forgot to introduce myself. You can call me Zaruer. I'm from the Slamu family. We are not from the same family as the Fatau family and the Hilal family."

Melen was a little bit surprised. Although the thirteen clans were a whole, each family was not united. Naturally, there were some small groups with different degrees of closeness.

Perhaps, the Slamu family does not want another family to be on equal footing with them, but they should be happy to see the Fatau family and the Hilal family suffer a setback.

Thinking of this, Mellen stopped dwelling on the other party's words and said, "Shouldn't we get down to business?"

Zaruer said, "Of course, please follow me. The members of the Supreme Council are waiting."

"Mr. Cruzerei, you can bring two people to the Supreme Council. As for the others, our Slamu family can help settle them. To ensure the fairness of the promotion process, they must be monitored by at least three clans at all times before the test begins."

Mellen raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Actually, it doesn't necessarily need to be so troublesome."

Before Zaruer could grasp the meaning of his words, Melen continued, "Let's go."

Under the guidance of Zaruer, Melen brought two vampire marquises to the council hall of the Supreme Council. The atmosphere here was heavy and solemn, but to be honest, this deliberately created atmosphere had no effect on Melen.

Mellen went straight to the seat prepared for him by the Supreme Council. Not only was there no chair, but the ground was much lower than where the members of parliament were. If he wanted to see the latter, he had to look up.

It felt like Melen was the sinner, and those congressmen were the judges from above.

The rotating speaker knocked on the table with a small hammer, then looked down at Mellen and said, "Mr. Cruzere, the patriarch of the Reginal family, we know why you are here, but first, you need to explain the war in the Bell Realm."

"The key point is the destruction of the Bonaparte family. According to the rules established by the Supreme Council in the 56582nd year of the Bloodline Glorious Calendar, bloodline families are not allowed to start large-scale wars without special reasons."

"On this point, you may begin your statement. We will give a fair judgment based on your statement."

Mellen listened quietly to the other party's words. He looked at the others present, some with amusement, some with mockery, and some with calmness, and chuckled softly, "What a boring farce..."

"Hasn't anyone told you that it's rude to make someone look up? Besides, it's really tiring!"

"Boom!~"

Endless blood surged out, submerging the entire parliament hall.

Chapter 490 Clan Promotion

The entire parliament hall, and even the Supreme Council outside, were all shrouded in the bloody pressure released by Mellen.

The parliamentarians were knocked to the ground by this force, and even if they unleashed the power of the saints in their bodies, it was of no use. They raised their heads with difficulty and looked at Mellen who was floating in the air in disbelief. At this moment, they could not find any other emotion except shock.

This time, it was Mellen's turn to look down at the council members. He chuckled and said, "You know what, you really don't know, this feeling of looking down on others is really quite good."

Upon hearing this, the rotating speaker summoned up his strength and shouted angrily, "This is power corrupted by the abyss. Cruzerei, you actually colluded with the Abyss Lord to wreak havoc on our vampire holy land?! Do you want the Reginal family to be destroyed?!!"

Mellen looked at the rotating speaker, curled his lips, and roared out with even greater force, crushing the latter and smashing his face straight onto the ground with a 'boom' sound.

This time, it hurts just to look at it.
