Chapter 188 Conflict
The arrival of the adepts did not affect Mary’s enjoyment of her blood bath.
Keoghan and the rest were not fazed.
However, Muret and Latour, the two adepts that had been assigned here, had a grim and sour expression on their faces. They were so black they was practically dripping ink!
The two had already felt the anger and resentment of the other adepts on the way here. But as veteran adepts of the clan, they only had disdain for this bunch of fresh blood in the clan.
A bunch of adepts that had never experienced a plane war were no different from a chick that had just learned to walk. So what if they were full of resentment? Did these people dare to oppose the clan’s orders?
Yet what surprised them was that even though several more experienced adepts hadn’t confronted them, a tiny vampire that hadn’t advanced for even half a year had appeared and was publicly challenging them.
“You must be the newly advanced Adept Mary! You should have received Sir Fügen’s message. From now on, Blue Hillock City will be managed by the two of us. You must hand over all the puppets and spies you control immediately!” The two adepts looked at each other, and Adept Latour, who was the assistant, went forward to talk with Mary.
Both parties had separated on bad terms, so naturally there was no possibility of sitting down and having a peaceful discussion.
The two adepts were still fuming and took the skies. They quickly found a noble’s manor they found to their liking 1.5 kilometers away from the city. They didn’t even bother to hide their identity. The two broke into the manor, and in less than fifteen minutes, they had become the new owners of the land. The original owners of the manor had either been turned into corpses, or converted into puppets under someone’s control.
And so, Muret and Latour settled on the outskirts of Blue Hillock City!
Mary finally reverted from her state of combat after the two annoying fellows had gone. She softly landed on the edge of the blood pool, looking at Keoghan and the rest amusedly.
“What, all of you had your necks pushed so low you can’t raise your heads? A bunch of guys, and yet you are all cowards. Don’t think I’m an idiot! All of you don’t stick your necks out, yet still bring those two guys to rampage at my place. Were you guys about to let me be the cannon fodder? Let me be the one who sticks her neck out? Let me tell you all something. If you don’t compensate me for my losses today, don’t even think I’ll let you treat me like an idiot next time!”
A wicked grin appeared on the faces of Keoghan, Kiel, and the rest. For the first time, they felt like Mary’s straightforward personality was a pretty good thing.
As adepts, fair and equal trades were the key to ensuring long term cooperation and benefits.
Their identities were awkward and unsuited to having a direct conflict with those two fellows. Paying a little price and having Mary do it in their place was a natural thing to do.
The sounds of intense bargaining rang out within the room!
