Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Arsen.

ducal mansion.

Duke Wang En's face was extremely pale, as gloomy as a cloudy day before a storm.

He never expected that Gui Qing would be discovered.

Moreover, this guy Bao Bingqing actually switched sides and sided with that little devil from the Ye family, revealing everything about his affair with him!

At this moment, more than thirty powerful men in black knelt on one knee in front of him. Each of them was at least at the Myriad Manifestations Realm, and each of them exuded a cold and ruthless aura, all of them appearing ready to obey orders at any time.

"You are all my strongest assassins."

Duke Wang En's gaze swept over the crowd before him with a gloomy expression. He said, "You should all understand the seriousness of this matter. If I fall from power, none of you will survive."

"Therefore, no matter what, at any cost, we must not let these people return to the mainland! Whether it's that little devil from the Ye family, Nangong Qiuyue, or Prince Longying, kill them as soon as you capture them, there's no need to capture them alive! We must not leave a single one alive!"

The black-clad experts shouted in unison, "Yes!"

After speaking, the figures of these black-clad assassins gradually blurred, then became completely digitized and disappeared into the air.

It turns out these people were also holographic projections.

Most of these black-clad assassins were kept by Duke Wang En around the world; they were his secret trump cards and would never be used lightly unless it was absolutely necessary.

Duke Wang En originally thought that he would only use these people when he needed to get rid of the Ye family someday.

Who would have thought it would be all for the sake of killing a ten-year-old brat from the Ye family!

Duke Wang En was still uneasy and paced back and forth in the room.

Finally, he raised his wrist and dialed a special signal number using his watch.

This is the vampire's dedicated line number, a signal line that human law enforcement cannot monitor, specifically used for his communication with the vampires.

A moment later, a holographic projection of a vampire appeared in front of him.

"Duke Wang En?" The vampire opposite him sat on a black leather sofa, swirling a glass of red wine filled with blood in one hand, a playful expression on his face. "It's quite rare for you to contact me on your own initiative. What's up? If it's business, can't you contact my subordinates?"

“Nicholas, our deal has been exposed.” Duke Wang En’s expression was grim.

Nicholas raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"

Duke Wang En quickly recounted the events.

“Heh... I see.” Nicholas said, “I had someone contact that violent Qing before. Not only did he refuse to cooperate with me, but he also killed many of my people. He’s a stubborn mule. I suggested to you to kill him a long time ago.”

"I originally intended to kill him, but I didn't expect things to turn out so quickly." Duke Wang En said with a stern face, "It's too late to talk about it now. I need to see these people dead before I can feel at ease! We must wipe them out completely, and we absolutely cannot let these people return to the mainland!"

"Hehe, don't worry." Nicholas looked relaxed. "My troops have already surrounded Dark City. Our vampires' unique signal jammers have completely blocked your Qin Empire's communication network. Now they can't find reinforcements or send messages back. What do you have to worry about?"

“Those kids are all students of the War Academy, each one a monstrous genius.” Duke Wang En said seriously, “Especially that Ye Ge, he is the young master of the Ye family, that little devil has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, you must pay special attention to him.”

"Oh? The Ye family? You mean that family of mutants with demonic genes?" Nicholas said thoughtfully, "I didn't expect the Ye family to be here... But he's just a ten-year-old kid, not Night Owl or Night Spring, what's there to pay special attention to?"

Duke Wang En frowned: "You'd better not be careless. One of our human earls was defeated by him without losing a single soldier because he was careless."

Nicholas tilted his head back, sipped the delicious blood in his cup, and said disdainfully, "You compare us vampire warriors to those pampered nobles of your human race?"

"..." Duke Wang En was somewhat dissatisfied with Nicholas's arrogant attitude, but he knew that this was a common problem among vampires. These vampires always thought highly of themselves: "In short, I advise you not to be careless. Within the Hundred Soul Forest, the strength level of all creatures will be suppressed to the Hundred Soul Realm. You will not have much of an advantage."

Nicholas smiled dismissively, clearly still not taking Wang En's words to heart: "Don't worry, I'll help you get rid of these people. After all, if you fall, our vampire clan will lose a lot of cheap blood slaves in the future."

After saying that, he hung up the holographic projection.

Duke Wang En cursed under his breath.

"That arrogant guy..."

......

About half a day later, Scarface, Nangong Qiuyue, and Jiang Xiaoming all woke up, and their health points were restored to about half.

Long Ying briefly explained the current situation to them.

Instructor Scarface tried using the watch and, sure enough, found that the message could no longer be sent.

"So, we're completely cut off from the outside world..."

Jiang Xiaoming sat on the bed, his face deathly pale.

The other four students in Jiang Xiaoming's team also looked nervous, some even trembling.

Xia Xiyao blinked: "What, are you scared?"

"Who...who's scared!" Jiang Xiaoming swung his fist, but accidentally pulled at the wound on his chest, making him howl in pain.

"As a student of the War Academy, a future Night Watchman, what's there to be afraid of? Let them come," Nangong Qiuyue hummed. "Perfect, I can take this opportunity to kill a few more vampires and add some experience to my resume for future promotions in the Night Watch..."

"You'd better figure out what you're going to be facing."

Ye Ge leaned against the windowsill, arms crossed, her expression calm: "Most of you are still at the Yellow or Profound Realm, with the highest, Long Ying, only reaching the Heaven Realm. I know that as inner disciples of the War Academy, your talent is beyond question; each of you is a prodigy capable of fighting opponents of higher levels. But we're not facing just one or two enemies, but hundreds of vampire troops, plus a group of top assassins that Duke Wang En is about to send. We struggled so much against Gui Qing with our combined attack, ending up severely injured. How much of a chance do you think you have against hundreds like this?"

Nangong Qiuyue, sitting on the edge of the bed, shrank back upon hearing this and muttered softly, "You...you don't have to undermine our confidence like that, do you?"
