My Players Are So Fierce

(Dedicated additional chapter for brother “Huo zheng ting hao”[15/20])

The most noticeable feature of Lord Pa Ying is his smooth black hair, that flows naturally down his shoulders like a woman’s, without any special styling.

From the point of view of a vampire lord, this might seem too casual, even unprofessional.

But if regarded from the standard of an artist’s temperament, this style is just right.

Neither too harsh nor too soft, neither too straight nor too devilish.

At first glance, he might seem ordinary, but looking again reveals his uniqueness, especially his eyes.

Lord Pa Ying’s eye pupils are amber, adorned with a hint of crimson, as gorgeous and enchanting as the most exquisite gem.

These eyes are enough to make most people overlook the appearance of his face.

But in fact, Lord Pa Ying is not ugly.

Although he isn’t as devilishly handsome as Palano or Murphy, by anyone’s standards, he has an above-average appearance.

Furthermore, Lord Pa Ying’s aura is impossible to imitate.

It’s an imposing aura that has been cultivated over eleven hundred years, from the day he became the leader and arbitrator of the vampire race.

The legends and even “myths” about him that are widely spread across the continent greatly enhance this aura.

Not just those modern “born” vampire juniors, even Old Edward, who is of the same generation and similar age to Lord Pa Ying, tames his cold and domineering demeanor as the Duke of Wolf Poison when he sees him.

This unique aura, coupled with the oppressive force that comes into the room with the holy spear “Eternal Silence,” intensifies.

Old Edward’s hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly.

Not out of fear.

Lord Pa Ying coming alone instead of visiting with the entire elite force of the Blood Covenant Knight Order suggests there’s still room for negotiation, but having the holy spear “Eternal Silence” present suggests that this matter might not be resolved so easily.

The cunning Duke of Wolf Poison’s first thought was that he was in for a serious trouble; his next thought was that if he was lucky enough to survive, he would probably have to suffer a major loss.

Such a pain!

Lord Pa Ying didn’t notice Old Edward’s expression change, or rather, he didn’t care, and walked into the room with his hands behind his back without any courtesy, and sat directly on the chair in the study that was supposed to belong to Edward.

He motioned with his hands.

The Lord of First Blood and the Lord of Third Blood turned around and left the study, even closing the door behind them.

The crimson holy spear “Eternal Silence” was left standing in the center of the room, maintaining a perpendicular to the floor even without anyone holding it.

It was obviously not an ordinary weapon; the glow it emitted bathed the entire study in a faint red light.

Not just for show.

In the light of arbitration, all beings not belonging to the physical world cannot hide.

Luckily, Old Edward seemed, for now, to have kept his integrity and not involved himself too much with the dangerous and mysterious beings of the another world.

“I assure you, I knew nothing about the Colando incident.”

Old Edward spoke first.

He placed his wine glass on the table and said softly,

“He’s always been an uncontrollable guy, oscillating wildly and brutishly like an unstable metronome.

If I hadn’t brought my dying clan to Green Island and needed to preserve our lineage, I wouldn’t have rashly…”

“Spencer, the minor matter you speak of is not worth my personal visit.

All the clan leaders and elders that are still amongst us are well aware of how far our brethren can fall under the influence of darkness.

Such events have happened continuously over the past thousand years.

Colando wasn’t the first to betray the interests of our race, and he won’t be the last.”

Before the Duke of Wolf Poison could finish his explanation, he was interrupted by Lord Pa Ying’s raised hand.

Leaning back in his chair, Lord Pa Ying glanced around Old Edward’s study and paused over a few murals on the wall.

The artistic contents of these pieces were apparently not enough to win additional comments from him.

While he maintained his observational posture, he nonchalantly said,

“Since you’ve obtained the power over the Kato area under the darkness from King Louis, you should use it well instead of casually giving it to dangerous elements you cannot control.

But after all, this is an internal affair of your Wolf Poison Clan.

I’m not interested in interfering or making additional comments.

You should know why I came here tonight and why such elaborate preparations were made…”

Lord Pa Ying shifted his position.

Bracing his hands on the study table, interlocking his fingers to cover his mouth and nose, within the flow of his smooth, windless hair, his amber-colored eyes stared at Old Edward.

He asked with crystal clear articulation,

“How involved were you in the subspace rift incident under Salockdale and Transylvania?

Answer truthfully!

Spencer, I will only ask once, and you only have one chance to defend!”

Old Edward’s heart sank.

He knew that Lord Pa Ying’s journey from the Dark Mountain Range to Green Island could not be because of a faction leader making trouble.

He knew damned well that even in death, Blood Vulture Duke was still causing him trouble!

He thought, there can only be one between Wolf Poison and Blood Vulture, right?

He also knew that Lord Pa Ying was already judging his sins.
