The Vampire Council—Ludwig would eventually have to face it. Although she had avoided it for almost a year, a short, sharp pain was better than a long, drawn-out one. Whether it brought good or bad fortune, she decided to bite the bullet and go. Otherwise, wandering around like a headless fly, she might find herself in even greater danger.

"Welcome to this news episode."
"The Spier Group has recently made an important decision."
"Their spokesperson said that since the new policy was announced last month, many vampires have obtained a job in the group's companies that can support them. Although this is a policy that is of great benefit to society, it has also caused some vampires to be quite dissatisfied - let's now connect with the reporter on the scene."
"Hello, sir vampire. What are your thoughts on the new policies announced by the Spire Group?"
"You ask me what my opinion is? Why should we receive the same salary as our human colleagues? Just because our physical strength allows us to work for twenty hours straight and even several days in a row, why do we only get so little overtime pay?"
"Are you aware of the new decisions the group recently announced?"
"Of course I know. Raising the wages of vampire employees—you ask me if I support it? I only have two words: I support it! Okay, stop asking! You're wasting my time. Will you cover the losses I incur?"
"Well, that concludes our live coverage of the group's recent series of new decisions..."
...
...
...
Di-
Yin Shang turned off the video. At this point, even someone as oblivious as him could clearly sense that something was wrong.
"The group is slowly boiling the vampires. Looks like I'll have to talk to those two old ladies later. But whether they listen or not is none of my business."
At this moment, Yin Shang took a taxi and left the western district of Bailing City, preparing to go to the address given by the priest to find out more.
...
"Young man, I'm not entirely sure where Lingxi works. If you want to find her, just ask her best friend, Xiaoye."
The priest said to Yin Shang, who was about to leave.
"This is Xiao Ye's address. It's a ten-minute drive from here. You can take a taxi there."
...
Yin Shang was almost driven crazy by this uncle trying to sell his daughter. He had to use all his persuasion to convince the uncle that he just wanted to talk to her about Yang Qi.
But the priest then said that he and his daughter had a generation gap, and she usually didn't tell him where she was. Perhaps only her best friend Ye Liuli, with whom she had always been very close, knew where she was.
Upon hearing the name, Yin Shang immediately perked up and asked for her address.
"Ye Liuli, that's right. According to that young lady, she's one of the two who disappeared along with the Queen. So she's actually quite close to Yang Lingxi..."
Yin Shang increasingly trusted his own judgment.
"I'm afraid those two are the real reason for the vampire queen's disappearance. I need to be careful, Reinhardt, stay alert."
His loyal and obedient feline attendant responded in his mind, "Yes."
Yin Shang was still pondering his next move when suddenly his phone rang.
"Who would be here at this time...? Hey?"
Yin Shang picked up his phone and listened.
A soft slurping sound came from behind the phone, like someone drinking tea. Then, the person who had called slowly picked up the receiver.
"How have you been, young master?"
Yin Shang couldn't help but gasp.
Seeing that Yin Shang did not reply, the voice on the other end read out in a sarcastic tone:
"Or would you rather hear me call you brother?"
...
Yin Shang sneered, "What a joke! I'm about to throw up. Have you finished farting?"
He read it aloud, word by word.
"Could you please just stay out of my life, Capilison Spier?"

"Ha, what are you saying, Yin Shang? Doesn't the group's assets appear in your life every day?"
Yin Shang said, "That's so you won't have a chance. No matter what kind of scheme you're plotting, you'll have to get past me first."
The person on the other end of the phone placed the receiver on the table and clapped their hands in a sarcastic tone.
"Well said, young master. It seems you're still not giving up on the matter of hindering my career."
"Since you don't want to be dignified, then I'll make it dignified for you."
"Former young master".
beep.
Spier hung up the phone.
Although every conversation with this person left him furious, he still paid attention to the word "decency".
"What does this guy mean?" Yin Shang wondered.
"..."
"!"
Yin Shang suddenly felt a chill.
How did that cold-blooded bastard Spyder find out his phone number?
Given the satellite positioning technology possessed by the Spire Group, this means... he already knows Yin Shang's location!
Yin Shang glanced at the back of the car and immediately yelled at the taxi driver:
"Driver, turn left!"
"But the road to the left is going against traffic—"
"Staying in jail is important"
Is life more important?!
brake!
Whoosh—boom!
A roar of an engine swept past them in the next instant, the thick cloud of dust making Yin Shang cough.
Boom! Boom! Screech—
The engine sound quickly faded into the distance, disappearing from Yin Shang's sight, and the sound of screeching brakes could be heard in the distance.
Although he didn't know what it was, Yin Shang could clearly see its danger—because just after that "car" passed by, several huge gashes had been cut into the right side of the taxi.
"What the hell!" Yin Shang gasped.
And... judging from the sound of its engine starting, it's coming back soon!
"Ah! My car! There are thugs! There are thugs!" the driver shouted.
"Don't just stand there, uncle! Get out of the car and call the police!" Yin Shang shoved him.
"Then, what are you going to do, young man?"
boom!
Yin Shang closed the car door and sat in the driver's seat.
"Me? Of course, I'll try to...stop that monster!"
Immediately, Yin Shang stepped on the gas and turned around to escape in the opposite direction.
"The police can't handle it. Before it hurts anyone else... I'll get it out of the city! In the countryside, I'll have a leisurely car chase with it!"
hum-
As the monster billowing thick smoke drew closer in the rearview mirror, its engine roared louder and louder, like the howling of a vicious dog.
"It turned out to be him."
Yin Shang finally saw the newcomer clearly—it was a bizarre racing car covered with dangerous bone spikes, and almost every inch of its flattened body was filled with sharp weapons for close combat.
Now that we know its true nature, it's impossible for a taxi to outrun it.
Yin Shang's lips twitched as he tried to calm himself down so he could think of a solution.
"【Chess Player】's 【Fierce Horse】, swift as the wind. They actually sent this madman to deal with me..."
The blood vessels in Yin Shang's eyes gradually increased.
"Damn it, Capilison really wants to kill me!"
"Reinhardt, don your armor!"
Chapter 53 Return
Deep within the secluded Mona Castle, the Vampire Council is overwhelmed by countless tedious official matters.
For thousands of years, the vampires have adhered to the rule of seclusion, and the vampire population has remained small. Therefore, the council has been quite idle for thousands of years.
But now, that era is gone forever. The Vampire Council works non-stop every day, busy with the livelihoods of vampires all over the world.
But they had no complaints.
Because this is the vampire queen's expectation, her only wish—
"Let my people be happy."
The council did not know the specific meaning of the "happiness" that the vampire queen referred to, but they knew that they could not let the opportunity for coexistence with humans, which the vampire queen had fought for, go to waste.
Vampires must establish themselves in this world. This is the only decree Her Majesty left them.
"The last time we had a holiday was 1083 days ago, and it lasted 12 hours."
Torre sipped his "blood-top coffee" and paced down the castle corridor with a calendar in his hand.
"Fortunately, there's no such thing as sudden death among vampires," Torre sighed wearily.
He couldn't personally investigate the Queen's disappearance not only because of his status, but also because he was too busy to leave his post.
He had already commissioned two separate groups to investigate the missing Queen and Princess, but some time had passed and neither side had sent any news. The longer there was no word, the more anxious he became.
In addition, with the vampires gaining a higher status in human enterprises recently, the social conflicts caused by vampires have increased significantly by tens of percentage points compared to the past. Just assigning mediation tasks to mediators in various places has kept Torre busy.
"Given time, Parliament may not be able to continue."
Torre sighed and pushed open his office door.
"I really hope we can find the Emperors soon... If this continues, the hearts of the vampire people will..."
"It seems that the matter of having the princess succeed to the throne can no longer be delayed."
...
"Hehe, what princess? I've never heard of such a thing."
A gust of wind swept through Torre's office, and the door behind him slammed shut.
Pfft!
Torre reacted quickly, before the chill could creep up his spine.
He immediately knelt down on one knee without raising his head:
"Your Majesty!"
In front of Torre, a young girl sat upright on the corner of the desk, her feet gently swinging in the air.
The dangerous aura emanating from her was no less than before.
Moreover... Torre could sense that her aura was more like that of a vampire queen than before!
Torre dared not think about what had happened during her disappearance, because at this moment her entire body was filled with dangerous killing intent.
