Chapter 222 - Count Dracula
“Forgive me, my lord!”
That pale-faced man fell to his knees as he trembled.
“Forgive me for the intrusion of waking you for your slumber, my lord. There is simply a matter that is beyond our capacity to deal with right now.”
“What is it that is so severe that not even you people are able to handle it? Is the American government is plotting against the rule of the empire yet again, about to wage war against us?” Count Dracula asked with a cold, unfeeling tone.
