However, before I can take a step forward, a kick lands across my chest, sending me skidding a few meters back.
The kick is so strong that I wouldn’t have been able to withstand its impact if I hadn’t used gravity to brace myself while skidding backward.
Only one thing is going on in my mind right now: This person is strong and he has something in common with Roth and me. I look up and see a tall vampire with a mask on his face. From his aura, I can tell that he’s a royal vampire, although his aura is somewhat faint and peculiar, like that of a subclass.
He’s wearing a black long coat, commonly used by vampires. Stopping my momentum, I hear his footsteps slowly walking towards me. It’s as if he’s also careful and trying to observe things before acting in the most rational way possible.
“That…Kick… who are you?” I ask, raising my head and looking at the masked figure.
The man pauses for a few moments before finally speaking.
“You have become a man, my prince. Don’t you think you’re doing things the wrong way? I am sorry for my actions earlier, but I won’t allow you to enter this mansion because my life depends on it. Not to be rude, but can you leave and solve things legally, please?” The man says with a deep bow.
Huh?
Who the fuck is this man and what the hell does he mean?
Confusion is etched on my face as this man acts weirdly. I could have blinked behind him and finished him off, but for some reason, my instincts are screaming at me.
[Master, look at his hand! He’s making some sort of sign.]
Hearing Mimi’s voice in my head, I lower my gaze and look at the man’s fingers which are moving weirdly. He is tapping his index finger on his right clenched fist.
What does he mean, Mimi? I don’t understand what he’s trying to convey.
[Calm down, master. I think he’s trying to tell you to bend down.]
Huh? That doesn’t make any sense.
Looking back at the man’s face, I don’t act suspicious, I simply act as if I am contemplating something. Because I can guess that someone is probably watching us right now.
Mimi, if I remember correctly… He said his life depended on the safety of the Haweks family. If I were to go against this man, I am sure that I won’t leave unscathed. Worst case scenario, my mom would appear out of nowhere, and it’s kinda embarrassing to get my ass saved by her. Since he knows me and he’s trying to tell me something secretly, then he’s probably telling me to knock him out like the others.
[Uhmm….master~] Mimi says with worry.
Don’t worry, I am pretty sure that it’s what he’s trying to tell me.
In a flash, I blink behind the man, lodging a jab into his neck and knocking him out in an instant. However, a feeling of horror overwhelms me because the moment I blinked from my position, it’s as if time stopped around me. That means this man intentionally wanted to get knocked out by me.
The moment I knock him out, I hear loud footsteps running away, causing me to raise my head and see a bald vampire running straight into a hallway.
[Master~! That’s the healer that ruined your blood attack! You’ve to take him down. He might have some tricks up his sleeve!]

“Fuck it! Code zero got knocked down! Is that bastard so weak!? After all his bluffing, he got knocked out with just one jab. I could even survive that kind of att— Wait a minute… Code Zero called him prince Jaden or something along those lines and also bowed to him. Is this a setup or was he afraid of that person? The code Zero I know would never betray his comrades, I guess I am overthinking things.” Code one mutters while trying to catch his breath before picking up his pace and starting to run through a hallway that is illuminated by outdated led lights arranged on the walls.
After running for some time, he finally reaches a dead end. However, instead of panicking, he places his palm on a digital screen in front of him. The screen begins to scan his palm
[Access granted.]
A mechanical voice emerges from the screen and a rumbling sound can be heard as the plain walls open up while smoke covers Code one’s view. In a flash, he enters the room and the door instantly closes
behind him.
The moment he enters, the smoke disappears and in front of him, is a big secret lair. Inside this room, there are also four people along with code one.
“What the hell are you doing here?! Aren’t you supposed to protect us? How did you even have access to this place?” A fat vampire boy with round, odd looking glasses on his face asks in panic upon seeing code one.
This boy, although vampires have great vision and don’t need glasses, this boy loves using them. He likes behaving like a human. And about him being a fatty, well, just like how humans get fat by consuming a lot of food, vampires can also get fat from consuming too much blood. Although, this case is extremely rare and can only happen if the vampire drinks a single blood type. For example, if a vampire only drinks group B blood type, he/she is likely to have this problem.
However, this doesn’t happen often, because the blood that is usually sold is from different blood groups. But this boy has been specifically drinking only one type of blood over the years which made him look like this.
This boy is none other than the young master of the Haweks family, Allen. A young scientist and inventor who is well known. He also contributed a lot to the success of the Haweks family at a very young age. Which is why his dad always tries to fulfill all his wishes.
