Chapter 919: Creating Chaos
The mental manipulation of a royal vampire wasn’t ordinarily powerful. In a short while, the two Dark Elves gave the game away to Rhode. Although they weren’t responsible for putting forward plans and ideas as Shane’s subjects, they were in charge of gathering intelligence and Rhode learned a lot of things from them about Highland City’s internal affairs.
Rhode had to admit that Highland City was indeed within the solid grasp of the Alanic Family. There was nothing that Shane wasn’t aware of. It didn’t matter if one was the supporter of the Light Parliament, a trade association representative, people who objected the suggestions, or people who acted pragmatically, one didn’t know that one’s every action was being monitored by Shane. What surprised Rhode was that there was also a special squad of 15 Dark Elves directly under Shane who was responsible for monitoring Highland City, at the same time helping him manage the uncertain factors and threats surrounding the city.
Not only that, but the two Dark Elves also confessed that Highland City also served as a branch of the Viper Gang and more than half of the soldiers patrolling the streets were their members.
Nowadays, even evil cultists can roam the streets in the open. It seems like public morals are degenerating with each passing day…
Rhode confirmed that it was almost impossible to make Highland City his anymore. It could also be said that after learning the truth, he wouldn’t accept them even if they decided to submit to him. No matter the Light Parliament or Viper Gang, none of them were easy to deal with and he might be out of luck if he weren’t careful. It was still possible to eliminate the Light Parliament, but an underground evil organization like the Viper Gang wouldn’t be that easy to eradicate. If Rhode and Angelina didn’t manipulate the two Dark Elves to reveal the truth, he would never believe that a small city by the border would have this many shenanigans.
But what left a bad taste in his mouth was Shane’s plan. According to the two Dark Elves, apart from being commanded to stalk ‘Miranda’ and Angelina, they also had to investigate everything about ‘Miranda’. Not only that, but Shane also ordered the Dark Elves to drug ‘Miranda’ and Angelina during an opportune time and send them to his manor for him to imprison and physically abuse them!
Rhode gazed in silence. His smile became as moving and bright as the dazzling sun in spring. On the contrary, Angelina turned pale and didn’t dare utter a word because she sensed the murderous intent and wrath hidden behind that gorgeous smile that was so much more scarier than the ice jail in Country of Darkness. Not only her, but the two Dark Elves also instinctively shivered in fear.
“… M-Master?”
Angelina swallowed her saliva and called out nervously. This was the first time that she sensed such clear murderous intent from him. If what she sensed was the imposing aura when she signed the contract with him earlier, this murderous intent simply left her breathless. The ice-cold sensation was as though sharp needles penetrating her body mercilessly, entering deep into her bone marrows and blood. She didn’t even have a chance to escape. Not only that, but also what terrified her the most was his smile. She didn’t spend a lot of time with him before, so she wasn’t aware of this habit of his. But even so, she felt chills run down her spine which froze her to the spot. That smile was so pure, beautiful, and dazzling. But it was this pure smile that appeared hypocritical to her at the same time. As a vampire who lived in Country of Darkness, she had been a hypocrite all her life. There were no friendships or trust among vampires and only exploitations and betrayals existed. But she swore that she had never seen such a ‘hypocritical’ smile. It was a contradictory illusion that one felt with the extreme truth. The smile that wasn’t meant to conceal one’s wrath but only to express one’s anger was as natural as one crying in pain.
He said softly with a gentle smile.
